saharaRN33 Specializes in ICU. Has 10 years experience. Apr 12, 2013 They are on their way and according to the tracking thing get here tomorrow. I'm going to be one busy gal tomorrow doing both assignments due before Saturday 8am. I took the quiz and it wasn't that bad even though I haven't read any of the assigned reading. Why is everything due Saturday am and not give us until at least Saturday pm. Pffff 0 Likes

saharaRN33 Specializes in ICU. Has 10 years experience. Apr 12, 2013 Well I got two books but missing the lab manual . That's the one you need to do the objective one right? I'm a little lost here. 0 Likes
saharaRN33 Specializes in ICU. Has 10 years experience. Apr 12, 2013 Y'all aren't including rectal temps are y'all? I'm lost we are supposed to include all of those temperatures . Oral axillary rectal AND tympanic ? They can't be serious ... Right ? 0 Likes

Oral axillary rectal AND tympanic ? They can't be serious ... Right ?Unless things have changed between when I took the class and now, you only need to get temperature in one way, so pick your preferred method (oral, etc.) and go for it. Though I'd try to avoid having to take a rectal temp if I could help it 0 Likes

Though I'd try to avoid having to take a rectal temp if I could help it Thank you so much ! Man that was unnecessarily painful to complete !!! I submitted mine prior to seeing your post so I just put client refused to have temperature taken rectally haha. The directions are so vague I honestly have no idea what my grade will be like for these first assignments. I noticed book and lab manual have different things. The lab manual only had few questions but book had more. I combined both . Goodness gracious . What a nightmare 0 Likes
laskydncr Specializes in Neuro. Has 5 years experience. Apr 14, 2013 Also in 3425. Ridiculous amount of "make-work" with little guidance. The due dates do not work well with working full time. Due date of Thur @0800 means need to complete by Tues evening (work Wednesday). I'll understand more about the expectations when I get my first week assignments graded. Until then, I plod along. Guidance is ambiguous. 0 Likes
krazylady Apr 15, 2013 Just finished the first cut of the subjective and objective assignments this week. I find it extremely frustrating that they "hold" feedback on tests and assignments for 48 hours. I would like to review (at least the first week) my assignments to see if I am on track or completely off, lol. With only 5 weeks in this class, I can't afford to screw up the assignments 2 weeks in a row!! I did "okay" on the quiz, but would like to see the questions I missed...I guess I am just too impatient. As for the assignments, they are a lot of typing, but they don't seem too bad. I'm just trying to follow the book and lab manual and try not to miss anything. Don't forget all your COLDSPAs!! 0 Likes
laskydncr Specializes in Neuro. Has 5 years experience. Apr 15, 2013 I agree, krazylady. I asked to review the quiz, was told that everyone had to take it first, but it is Monday. Who's left to take it? Also, no feedback on last week's assignments. I need to complete by tomorrow due to my work schedule. I'm almost done. I just got bored with the typing and stopped yesterday. 0 Likes
