Brief summary: The study is a descriptive correlational study over three surveys that will examine the improvement of confidence level associated between the implementation of mock code training simulation and the real live event.

Detailed description: Participants will be asked to respond online to a questionnaire or survey launched via Survey Monkey®. Demographic information will be collected first Appendix B. A self-reported confidence level via the Student Satisfaction and self-confidence in learning scale will be utilized and serves as a data collection tool. The scale will be deployed via email as a scale A B and C Appendix C to each study participant and is the same scale. The participants will complete survey A after completion of the initial educational simulation training the survey B will be completed when the participants attended an unannounced simulation activity. Survey C will be completed after the first actively involved Code Blue situation. The survey is a 13-item instrument designed to measure student satisfaction five items with the simulation activity and self-confidence in learning eight items using a five-point scale. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha: satisfaction equals 0.94 self-confidence equals 0.87 Franklin Burns and Lee 2014.
