Remember the stress of leading the megacode in PALS?  I bet you never thought you'd miss it but after several years of solo computer-based learning, many nurses and healthcare workers wish there were a space to talk through codes and practice simulations in a psychologically safe (and maybe even fun!) environment to practice these critical skills.  We invite you to step into the role of team leader in pediatric resuscitation with this hands-on, practice-focused course. Designed for nurses seeking to strengthen both their clinical skills and leadership abilities, this course goes beyond the fundamentals of PALS. Participants will engage in realistic pediatric mega-code simulations based on the latest American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, practicing assessment, decision-making, and team coordination in a safe, supportive environment. By guiding teams through high-stakes scenarios and receiving structured feedback, nurses will leave feeling more confident, capable, and prepared to lead a pediatric code when it matters most.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Lead a pediatric resuscitation team effectively, following AHA guidelines.
2. Assess and manage pediatric cardiac arrest scenarios, including selecting appropriate interventions for different rhythms.
3. Communicate clearly and coordinate team efforts under pressure to optimize patient outcomes.
4. Reflect on simulation performance and apply feedback to improve confidence and skill in clinical practice.
