About Code Red
Who built this, and why
Before I joined the Army full time, I worked at a tech startup that turned medical and nursing information into something easy to digest and easy to remember.
The best part was the students. I watched them grow into nurses, and I got to be a small part of them starting careers that take care of people for decades.
I met a lot of great people back then, and I've missed making things for them. Code Red Nursing is me getting back to it.
Every case is built to feel like a real shift, with real vitals, real decisions and real consequences, so studying feels less like a chore and the knowledge actually sticks.

Help us get it right
Code Red Nursing is edutainment: story-driven practice cases, not a formal course or a replacement for your program. But fun is no excuse for being wrong. We want every case accurate and current, and we welcome expert review.
We are looking for people who can check our work:
- Nurse educators and clinical instructors
- Practicing nurses and clinicians
- Nursing scholars and researchers
Review a case, flag what needs fixing, or tell us what students actually struggle with. And if you are the scholar who wants to partner up and build this platform into something bigger, we would really like to hear from you.
Raise your hand
Leave your email and we will reach out about reviewing cases. No commitment.
We only use this to contact you about reviewing. No spam.
