Question
I'm doing a homework assignment - determining whether sentences are run-on, complete or usable. I'm stuck on this one.
The patient obtained records in order to save the nurse a phone call to her previous doctor and she made sure to ask right away for this to be done to save time.
Thanks for your help.

Independent clause = The patient obtained records in order to save the nurse a phone call to her previous doctor
conjunction = and
Independent clause = she made sure to ask right away for this to be done to save time.
It's not a run-on because of the conjunction "and." HOWEVER, it would be far better to revise all this into TWO sentences and to clarify "this" in the second clause.

Even better would be to shorten it like this:
To save time and a phone call, the patient obtained her records from her previous doctor.
To save time and a phone call, the patient obtained her records from her previous doctor.
