    schack replied to medical_mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    schack replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. Teamwork with OR ??

    schack replied to schack's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the feedback. I wish we had the ability to have a dedicated OR staff, but that isn't happening anytime soon. Hmm... maybe I am just going to be disappointed but I really do hope to improve...

    schack posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. Teamwork with OR ??

    schack replied to schack's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think I phrased my question appropriately. We aren't falling apart in a stat c/s... we do work well together. There is just a sense (on both sides of the table) that we function as two very...

    schack replied to Nire83's topic in Ob/Gyn

    schack replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  18. Should I stay or should I go?

    schack replied to Miller86's topic in General Nursing

    schack replied to EILEEN456's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. A funny and warped FACES pain scale

    schack replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing
