Scheduling Observation T1-T4 on the “R” Drive
The following steps are required to schedule clinical observation opportunities:
- You will need to use computers in the NWHSU library or in the computer lab. You cannot access the ACM Observation Sign Up on your personal computer.
- Open “My Computer” and double click on the “R Drive” which should say “Apps on Library.”
- On the “R Drive”, double click on the “ACM Observation Signup folder.”
- Double click on the file to open it in Excel.
- Use the tabs to navigate to the clinical site where you want to observe.
- Enter your name in the open line that indicates the time slot you choose to observe.
- Close and Save the document.
Please be considerate and cautious in remembering the following:
Cautions:
File Traffic
Excel will not allow multiple users to modify at the same time. Therefore, if one person has the spreadsheet open and is reading it or modifying it, a second person opening the spreadsheet will get a message that another user has it open for editing and the second person will be asked if they want to open a read-only version. Do NOT use the read-only version as you will not be able to save your entries.
Clerical Caution
Make sure to type in your name and carefully save the document so as not to erase another student’s entry. If you do not remember to save the document, your entry is lost. If entries are “accidentally” erased, we will only have minimal back up capacity. Type and save carefully.
If you need to cancel or change your observation, please make sure to remove yourself from the ACM Observation Calendar so another student has the same opportunity.
