Technology Troubles

Published January 21, 2009 10:03 AM by Travis Bankhead
So as I think I mentioned before we have our EHR class in an online format. Our book comes with a CD that has a virtual EHR that we are supposed to use to build our own electronic health record so we are able to see the formats and how everything works. Well, of course our software isn't compatible with Windows Vista and everyone is having trouble actually getting the software to even install. I had this bright idea that I would get my 100-year-old laptop fixed because then I would be able to take it with me when I go on my clinical. Well that is no longer an option because I don't even know where the driver CDs are to even get reformat everything, plus it also needs a new fan. I think my roommate Cristin and I are going to have to install XP on our computers and run them with Vista at the same time, which I still have no clue how to even do that, but I guess we will just have to figure that out. That is the mess that I have been trying to deal with. Plus I also had to work overnight this weekend and almost wrecked several times on the way there because there was a freak snowstorm that dumped almost 2 inches in about 45 minutes. So I am trying to deal with all of this plus work on my senior project and get our video started for our presentations. Hopefully Cristin and I can get all of this together this week and get ourselves organized.
