Okay...so my friend just came into some money, not sure how but they got a few grand.  So with that money they bought a new truck which they really needed.  I was told by her that she had enough to go to school to become an MT which she has been thinking about for about 3 years now......well do you think she registered? No....she said that she is sending her BFF on an all inclusive trip to Mexico with $2000 spending money.  I just want to ring her neck if she actually did that.  I am not sure anymore because we not longer talk....because of differences. 

I'm sorry I am very flustered about what she is doing - even though I should NOT care anymore but when your DH is working his ass off 24/7 why wouldn't you get schooling to help him out?!?!?

I just get some decisions some people make.  I am glad that I decided to use my money for my schooling because I would never have been were I am right now.  I am truely truely blessed with the opportunities that are coming my way!

Does anyone have any experience with this?  My family is involved in different activities that involve traveling two or three times a week with at least an hour's commute one way or more.  I hate to sit and twiddle my thumbs while traveling when there is work that could be done.  Is it possible?  Have to download internet files from my national.  Could I do that with a cell phone?  Any help at all would be much appreciated!

Has anyone out there had trouble with Maxell microcasettes popping from the spool.  For some reason, our office has gotten a batch of tapes that continues to pop from the spool when the physician dictates to the end of side A and then onto side B.  Tapes are popping left and right.  At first, it was just one particular physician's tapes, so we thought it was the machine.  However, now they are all popping, but only if dictated to side B.  Has anyone had better luck with other brands?  Need some help.  The physicians don't want to redictate, so I am losing $ and they are wasting time dictating only to have the tape pop.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any call in dictation systems that do not utilize an FTP site to access the dictation.  Is there any other way to access dictation using a system of this type.

is there a way to make a * hard hypen * in Word?

TIA for any help.

I do occasional IC work for a provider that I have known a while now. Today i did some work for her and found something that really bothers me. The physician dictates the patient's full name, street address and home phone number in addition to her DOB. Is that HIPPA compliant? I'm sorry folks but I really don't want my street address and phone number available across the internet even if it is "so called" secure. I would like your thoughts.

My dog has Cushings and is on $200.00/mo worth of meds and we are going broke between them and the $1000.00/year testing needed,  not to mention shots, etc.  We are paying about $80.00/month for one medicine.  I found it at Entirely Pets for $32.00/mo - a big savings.  The package they show is the exact same as what we get from the vet, the dosage and the # of pills is also the same.   I read the description and it doesn't say anything about it being a generic or anything else that would raise a red flag.  I checked this med at 1800PetMeds and it is $60.00/month there. 

I'm going to ask my vet tomorrow what she thinks.  I don't think she'll have a problem with me getting meds from another source but I'd like to hear feedback from an outside party too. 

of lines?  I was thinking of charging .01 per word.  Anyone else do this?

Thanks!

How many lines does 25 reports yield, approximately, anywhere in the range between 3 to 7 minutes long?

I've decided to get my motorcycle license, already passed my permit test and am starting to learn to ride.  I don't know yet if I'm going to learn on a 350 or a 650, but am starting to get excited.  My state offers a weekend course where you go both days for instruction and training and give your license all in one weekend.  My dad loved motorcycles, my sons both have motorcycles, and now it's my turn.  So, satisfy my curiosity, anyone else have this interest?

Has anyone done Data Entry jobs from home?  Thanks

Happy Memorial Day to all!!! 

I am thinking about purchasing a C-phone.  I have never had/used one before, but a possible job opportunity has presented and I would like to get one just in case.  I am considering a refurbished model.  Can anyone suggest which make/model is best to get?  Do they use a tape or are the voice dictations stored digitally?  I need any and all advice on this one.  Thanks!

I'll be training with CS through EvCC.  Just wondered where everyone trained and if your working.

Thanks so much!

As some of you might see I have already posted this on the WAHM board, just thought I'd get it out there as much as I can, so....looks like you guys get it too. lol

I just recently got married and I am working in-house at our local hospital.  I LOVE getting out of the house and going to work every day.  I love what I do and want to stick with it.  We will probably not be having children for at least a couple of years as my husband has a year left in college to get his business degree.  I want to be able to stay home and raise my children, but I have seen what it has done to my mom.  She sits at home all day in her PJs and type, type, types.  I am just wonderng if any of you have any regrets about deciding to do transcription full time from home in order to be there for your children?  This may sound a little selfish, but I don't want to have any regrets about my life and want to look at all options before I settle into a decision. I know I have some time to think about it, but it has been a topic that I have really been thinking about lately. What I would really like to do is stay at home with them until they are all in school and then try to get a job out of the house while they are at school.  Have any of you made this transition?  Any advice would be appreciated.  I would just like a heads up before making any decisions.  Thanks!

Hello,

I'm seriously considering applying to Med-Line for MT studies. They are AHDI approved and provide a paid internship. Has anyone heard anything good/bad about them? Has anyone gone to this school? Were you satisfied? Found a job? Do employers hire folks who studied from that school?

I'm trying to keep all my options open - I realize Andrews and MTech are the top schools - but I was also impressed with what Med-Line has to offer.

Thanks!
