OMG, OMG, OMG,
I just spent the last three hours hunting for my assignment on my new laptop. I got it all done. Edited etc. Saved it. (I had to spend $100.00 to purchase Microsoft Office for my new laptop) anywhoo...I went to submit it and it was NO WHERE to be found on my computer. I told myself not to panic. I searched everywhere. I could feel the tears start to well up in my eyes. I just did not have it in me to start from my rough draft. I tried to contact Microsoft...almost rousted my computer guru sister from a dead sleep...I was so desperate. Many hours and stress filled moments later, after doing every search known to mankind. I finally found it obscurely. It was under temporary templates hidden deep within Microsoft 1997 word documents. It then took me another hour to cut and paste it to Microsoft Office 2010. I finally got the darn thing submitted. Seriously, I had to do forensic research to find the thing. I am now physically and mentally drained!

Thank Goodness you found it! I saved all my stuff to a thumb drive which was plugged into my tower at work. I accidentally kicked the drive when I crossed my legs and busted the connections. Had I saved it to my computer the night before...apparently NOT! I had to rewrite the whole &*^%$#+ thing from scratch! Live and hopefully learn to save and resave!!! Glad for you!

OK...you guys...the test did not seem that bad. Especially compared to Family Nursing!

Two weeks in and I am finally joining in on this thread... I am finding with this class it is taking more time to complete all the assignments and DB posts. Not sure how I will do with taking two classes at once next session.... Well time to take the quiz and be done for this week!!!

Statistics???

oh yeah - statistics. ***. That and a couple of way off the wall questions that I had no idea what that heck the answer was. So, I am estimating that I did not do well on this quiz.

OK, so Mod 3 DB question: Discuss how elders are vulnerable. Is this in general terms or do we choose an area in which elders are vulnerable? This seems so vague to me. I've read and re-read the instructions and still feel unclear. I also emailed my TA. What's your take?

I know that when you first open the quiz it states that it is randomized for each student. Sounds like we may all be getting different questions. I only had one question that was related to "how many" and it was a pretty easy guess. You don't have to miss very many to receive a low score on these tests since they are 10 questions. So, I may be in for my own surprise. It just felt okay to me.
