2. Time management?

   pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Ambulatory

   Thanks for the responses! They supposedly were ok prior to EHR, but I also think it was easier for things to be slipped under the rug if they couldn't get to it (I'm not saying that everyone did stuff like that, just to clarify, I just know that we f...

    pipersjo replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing
