Thank you very much. Your answer has ben very helpful !

Hello! I am translating a medical book into Polish and as I have never worked in a US hospital, I don't understand a few things in the following passage. I think OB-GYN nurses might be the right people to help :) The passage is about pregnant anesthesia providers and their job hazards. "Pregnant anesthesia providers are often pleasantly surprised to find that their departments are supportive and flexible. It is generally the policy of *training programs* not to ask a woman to do a case she is not comfortable doing.Programs will also usually make *allowances in the posting* and *call schedules*to combat theever-present fatigue problem." As I don't know much about the hospital employment policy in the US nad English is not my mother tongue , I don't understand what "training programs" refer to, plus what "allowances in the call schedules are". Actually I don't know what "call schedule" is. Is it a night duty? As for the "training programs'- do pregnant anesthesia providers attend them or it means lectures and seminars ABOUT pregnant employees, not FOR them. Thanks for any hints! One more question. What is the meaning of "reproductive outcomes" in the following sentence: "Women in stressful jobs may have poorer reproductive outcomes." Does it mean : they find it more difficult to get pregnant (=fertility) or it can harm their pregnancy (= bad for the fetus)?

Thank you very much NRSKarenRN for the first aid! Now everything's clear :)

Hello everyone! I am translating a book on anesthesia and as English is not my native language, I have difficulty understanding some of theterms, and no dictionary has helped much. Could someone help me to understand the following terms, please? 1.room ( = OR room ??) 2.charge table (?) 3.running the board (?) advice for anesthesia provider: The nurses in a room generally are not on the charge desk or running the board, so questions about why a case is being moved to a certain room are frustrating and nonproductive. what is meant by "a certain room" the patient is being moved to? Thanks for your help! Allda
