Sted's Ortho Words, a lab words book, at least 1 drug book, and your AAMT BOS 2nd

What law? There's no law. There was a book (sm)
by a conservative that came out, which is what started this whole heightened nonsense over Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays. That book has effected a nice smokescreen to get away from the real issues plaguing the party, such as illegal wiretapping.
maybe in your book but not for an MT who is a

They are in my book.

What are you writing, a book

About the book/tests - have you not ever sm
done any in-depth research into the field you are working in? Had you done that, you would have probably ended up at the AHDI site at some point (creator of the BOS) or MTChat or here - references to BOS and tests come up daily. How could you have been working and not know there was a BOS?
Re The Book of Style
Just a short note to say, you really need to learn the BOS, even if you don't think you need to, and no matter what anyone else tells you, for your own knowledge, you need to know the basics--the style basics. We all had/have to do it, you are not alone. It's all a part of the game. :)
I agree 100% with you. The book is sm
correct 99.9% of the time. Once in awhile you will find something wrong, but then you just write it in and change it. You never know on the internet. I don't think there is any substitute for sitting down with a book and doing research. I do understand that in this day and age it is not cost effective to do that. That is why I still believe that it is a disservice to MTs not to be able to work in-house for several years before going home!
with a book you wouldn't need sm
suggestions now would you. There would be an entry and it would be correct. Also there are still some places that don't do voice files through the internet so it wouldn't matter if the internet was down or not.
Obviously there IS A place for the internet but to say you can't or won't use books anymore is crazy!
Those of you that have the book, can you figure out what she is asking. I'm very curious too. B

That's fast in my book. I can't do that. Great job! :) nm

Correct - I don't want to write a book.
If you want more information, please email me. I can only say what I experienced.
All those are Negative points in my book! Keep looking, please! nm

So? BOS is just book by ladies with too much free

I seen a book on ebay or amazon once...sm
and it tells you how to start your own MT business. I was looking for reference books and it popped up. I had typed in medical transcription books or something like that.
Go to the library and check out the book
do you a lot of good to read that.
Book of Style 2nd Edition
This says without the apostrophe is preferred but that the apostrophe is acceptable if that is what's dictated and/or the client wants it that way.
This book was written well before Vista came out. sm
So to say no may not be correct. I would email Cheryl and just ask her. HTH!
Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.
The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.
Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.
source, please? In my hard book
Webster's there is only an e, no y. Need to know if this has changed and I don't trust Google on everything.
Re: Flexibility
When you first start, they will ask that you pick a schedule that you will be working (your choice). If you need to change that schedule outside of one hour, then they ask that you just let them know so they can see if they need to find coverage or not. They are very good about changes in your schedule if you need it.
Flexibility
Thank you both. I was pretty much trying to figure out what they referred to as flexible.
Flexibility
They are about the only company out there that is still run by HUMANS! They will work with you, whatever your needs are.
flexibility
You must request your flexible schedule prior to accepting the position and then get it in writing, for your protection.
Flexibility
MDI-FL is flexible with scheduling. I have been here four years and am still raising children and it has been great to have the flexibility!
flexibility
eMTS is very flexible. I am not IC though.
Flexibility
DSG is a great company that just put up an ad today! They hire looking mostly for production versus specific, strict time of day schedules. As long as you are meeting your production they are great!
flexibility
Can you explain their flexibility? Do you pick a schedule? Do you have a time frame in which to complete your work? Thanks!
flexibility
but the pay - that sounds below average - 9-11 cpl is more like it - if not more. But for flexibility and plenty of work - I would work for less - especially if I could work on the same accounts all the time and have plenty of work - I would be interested to hear from others, as well on this company.
Flexibility
That's what some of the companies in transcription out there are lacking. I work for a hospital that has the same 12-hour period. We can clock in 4 separate times in a day. It's heaven! First shift starts at a certain time, second shift and third shift, but it's amazing how we can keep everything covered - guess it's because we're happy!
Flexibility
I work for Futurenet and they are very flexible. Nice people. Pay always on time.
40 hrs for FT, I have no flexibility, SM
Enterprise or Chartmatrix are the platforms, for me running out of work happens at least once a week and I have 5 accounts. In past couple of days I've seen posts that they are using some other MTSO to do work for them so that's where some of the work is going.
Flexibility
At MDI we submit and set our own schedule 2 months at a time, having to commit to 2 weekend days a month.....do you do this at Transcend?
It is an open book 50 question quiz
I enjoyed taking it, may take the job if they offer, I need to get some additional memory in my computer but that should not be too difficult, about $35 for another 256MB.
Can anyone recommend a good reference book
for radiology. I just started on a rad account in training. I love it so far but would like a good radiology terminology book that especially contains terms for MRIs and CT scans. ALso, can anyone tell me what the average rate is per report for radiology? Thanks!
Some emails are missed and not in their address book
nm
What?! Do you have your number listed in the phone book?
This is the same info they can get out of the phone book, i.e., name, address, and phone number. This is not what they use to commit identify theft. They would use the general information from your resume to phish for more detailed information, such as SS# or bank account/cc account info. This is also what they would get out of your trash if for some reason you don't shred this info before you throw it out. Also, with past employers, they are only allowed to give basic info, such as length of employment and whether you're eligible for rehire. They can be held legally responsible if they give out detailed information about you!
I am very realistic that I'm not immune to identify theft, but also I know the law and know that I shouldn't be paranoid about someone stealing my identity. I take the appropriate steps to protect myself and monitor my credit report frequently.
The book contains suggestions. They don't write the rules
they merely published them in a format convenient for us to review - save your anger for the JAHCO and the American Medical Association.
area cod is 877 (dont have phone book with me)

Those are definitely text book anxiety symptoms
You may want to see if you can get something for your anxiety; something that will not make you drowsy if you take it during the day. Good luck.
DocQscribe is the best in my book! You just type. Very easy, nm

Look in phone book or google for your area
Free legal aid or legal assistance. I know it exits in my area, southern California, I used it once.
This seems way out of line. Google attorney general for your state, here in California it is Jerry Brown and look for an email address and send in a question. I know I have read of scams in newspaper they have gone after, like the home loan modification scammer etc.
This is really really bad, so sorry it happened but don't give up, there must be a loop hole, how can that be OKAY??? Huh
Amphion flexibility?
Can anyone who actually works for Amphion tell me if there is much flexibility in your schedule. I know they require you to submit a schedule, just wondering how flexible within that time frame they are. Thanks.
Flexibility as an employee
Can anyone recommend a good company to work for who will allow their employees to have a very flexible schedule? I have two children and I have to work a schedule which works around their school schedule and after school activities. I also would like to have some time for myself and be able to participate in the gym or going out with friends and my family. I want to put in my 8 hours a day and am willing to work on the weekends.
Flexibility at Diskriter
I have been offered a position with Diskriter. The recruiter told me when I speak with my supervisor, I could have a flexible schedule. Just how flexible is Diskriter? Also, do they have 12 to 12 shift, where you can work 8 hours in 12 hours? I speak with my supervisor this Wednesday and just wanted to get the heads up. Thanks
here is the scoop on flexibility with DSK
I worked for them and was told I could have flexibility. This is no lie, I would run out to the mailbox to get the mail, or maybe get interrupted with a phone call - probably no more than 10 minutes away from the computer - AND I WOULD GET A PHONE CALL FROM Diskriter ASKING WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU ON BREAK? YOU NEED TO LET US KNOW WHEN YOU ARE TAKING A BREAK OR GOING OFF TO LUNCH.
When I took my lunch break, my phone would ring if I was over 30 minutes. I felt like big brother was always watching.
Maybe it wasn't that way with everybody, but I never ever deserved that kind of monitoring for any job I had. The sad part was that when I worked for them there were times I would not have any work whatsoever, but was told not to leave my house in case work flowed into my que. One day, I sat for three hours on a Saturday morning because they insisted we do overtime, and I did not get my first job until 10:40 a.m. THREE HOURS ON A SATURDAY. I can still recall that day - I made $17.00 for an 8 hour shift. I quit shortly after that.
Flexibility - They great with it
I have never seen a company as generous with flexibility. If I need to run to school for the kids and make up time later, all I need to do is email and let them know. If I need to switch days or hours because of anything, I have only been denied that 1 time because there were too many people off sick and it wasn't for something I had to do, just for more free time in that day.
As for the person who said they called and asked where she was; I am sorry but they are too busy doing other things to be watching over your shoulder, I doubt this occurred. If it did, perhaps you had extremely low line counts and they were just trying to account for if you were really at your computer making an effort or if you were taking off on the clock and not actually working your scheduled hours, if you are supposed to be working, you should be THIS IS A JOB and just because we work from home doesn't mean we can come and go as we please (unless it has been approved, which they are ready and willing to do).
Diskriter is the only company I have found that realizes being flexible makes for happier MTs, which makes for more productive MTs.
Good luck and glad to have you join us.
Sorry.. I mean FLEXIBLE.. not flexibility
nm
The best company with flexibility and
pretty much everything else! You will be happy!
Looking for company with flexibility...
I have no issues with a required line count per day, week, month or whatever, but I do need one that has flexibility with the times. Need around 8 cpl. Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.
