Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

GO for it girlie girl! This is your New Year's present! sm
I am happy for you! You deserve a break and here it is. I hope you love it and it works out well for you.
FN - I worked for them for about 1 year about 18 months ago (sm)
At first I thought they were wonderful but my last account had so many docs and so many specialities I just finally gave up and faded into the sunset.... they never even missed me. I also found QA to be very rude sometimes - depending on which account you were on.
46/F I have a 9-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.

3 months on and 1 month off, all year round.

Minimum of 6 months, but more likely more than a year. You'll

I meant hospital for 8 years (not months)...going on 15th year.

my boyfriend's union has helped him to be laid off 6 months this year already...
Sure Union's PROTECT the workers... okay that's fine. but they also do plenty of other stuff that is not cool with me. I like the idea of them getting paid a good amount for what they do, but then there are times when if something happens on a job, for example, two workers get in a fight, they may get fired from that particular job, but re-hired with another one that hires union workers. It makes no sense. Obviously I see the point of unions so workers are not taken advantage of... but like someone else posted, someone would sneak away to sleep during her job with the union. I mean, have you seen DOT workers? Cal Trans ? i dont think I EVER see them working and I'm gonna guess they are a union (although I can't be sure).
For sure transcription needs something, but I don't think a union is it. Although I don't think we will ever have anything to protect or help us... too little "higher up" people know the problem.
I quit two months ago. I tried to quit for over a year, but I just had to be ready.
I tried the patch, NRT gum, Zyban, everything. One morning, I woke up and just quit cold turkey. There are some good online support groups out there that can help you when you're ready.

You go girl! You go girl! Loved your response!
Wooo hooo!!! 
$32K/part time 6 months/full time 6 months
I have kept my child home with me half the year, but when pre-K started I began working full time. Helps to only have a main account and one backup account for the 2nd year now, so my abbreviation program rocks and rolls when I focus.
Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.

After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm
to pay him a cool 1 million dollars. You can check this out at the Medquist website. I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.
P.S. This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc.
Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.
I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.
Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.
Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
Individual IC - own account(s).
Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
YOU GO GIRL!!! SM
 GURL - YOU SAID IT ALL!!! STANDING OVATION TO YOU!!!
I just went on a rampage about these "wonderful moms" badgering a single mom about putting her kid in daycare so she could work... WHO CARES?!?!? Why do they think their aggressive is worth so much -
I agree - UNITE... CARE... REASSURE... We are all familiar with at lease one aspect of every ONE of our lives... BE CONSIDERATE FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE... Just because someone doesn't live their life like YOU do does NOT mean they are doing it WRONG.... Doesn't the BIBLE say to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.... we are ALL neighbors here, and I would lend a helping hand to anyone who asked it of me...
GEEZ - if you need a hormone adjustment, PLEASE get HELP... if it is the HEAT, GET IN A POOL!!! There are some of THE most nasty replies on this board for NO REAL REASON except for those whose lives are miserable, so they wish to pass it on and create TURMOIL!!! Just STOP!!!  Realize it is OKAY to be different, and to live different lives... and if someone comes to this board for empathy, those who wish to give it - please give it... those who have NO empathy... SHUT UP!!! 
You go girl!!
I totally agree with you!!! In my town, a LOT of the trailers are so much nicer than any of the homes. When my husband and I first got married, we lived in a crappy apartment. I would have so much rather lived in a nice trailer where I felt safe. However, we live in Missouri, where it is tornado heaven in the springtime and I am a huge freak when it comes to tornados.
You shouldn't call someone a skank just because of where they live. I would bet that some of the women living in the $300,000 houses are cheating wifes who actually deserve the word skank.
Keep up wtih good work, you should be proud of your family!!!
You go girl! sm
It was almost a year ago that I sat my family down and told them that I wanted to come home. I had picked up a "side" account while working a full time job. I did the "side" account for 6 months and then gave my notice to the hospital I was working at as I found enough work to do at home.
It is the best thing I ever did and I actually make more money than I did in house because I'm happy and motivated. I don't have to deal with the office witch, a run in my nylons, forgetting my lunch or having to drive the 45 miles round trip every morning. I can stop what I'm doing and spend time with my kids or my grandbabies and I can get by on 5 gallons of gasoline a week at the very most.
Good luck! 
You go girl!

That's my girl..lol

Little MT, all the best to you and you go girl! SM
This business has gone to the dogs and I APPLAUD you for getting out. Let us know how it goes. Congratulations!
We have a 16 yo boy and 14 yo girl - $500 on each and sometimes
a little extra surprise.
YOU GO GIRL!!!
You know we are here for you! I'm glad you're getting the restraining order, that makes me feel better. I will be praying for you! I am so proud of you. Stay strong!!!
You go girl!!!

You go girl...
We're proud of you. I've been there, done that, exactly, a few years back. This is one thing I leanred -- once things start going badly for him, and they will, he will shift his focus back to you -- everything going wrong for him will be YOUR fault. If only you hadn't done this or that.... yada yada. That way he doesn't have to take any responsiblity. Please don't fall into this trap of even listening to it !! Listening to it only feeds into him being more convinced of it ! Just remember you were smart enough to get rid of him, so go live the life you were meant to have! If you don't do it for yourself, nobody else will do it for you ! Congrats.
You Go Girl!!!!
Everyone needs a night out and if he doesn't like it too bad.
I am right behind you, girl! My
up and running in about 30 more days and I can't WAIT! Way more money, more free time! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GO GIRL
I had something very similar happen to me! The doctor dwindeled down my work to nothing and basically forced me to quit. What they did was give the work to a girl in the office who they did not have to pay a contract rate to and get off cheapter! I was infuriated!!! So I say, YOU GO GIRL...
to CI GIrl
Honey, you really are clueless. The Indian MTs are the upper class - they are not poor. They have college degrees, some of them have Medical degrees (takes 2 years over there, I think, but I could be wrong), and they have nannies for their children, get tea time paid for by the MT companies that employ them. Those employers also provide their transportation to and from work everyday. Does any U.S. employer do that?
40 years this might have been the land of opportunity, but not anymore. Illegals are swarming in here everyday - they are stealing our identities and making a mockey of our entire system of laws. Not to mention how they are clogging our schools, our health care system and our prisons.
We are under attack.
You said it..girl!...
Same for me, live in rural midwest. My last office job, I topped out at $11.30/hr with 20 years experience... Wow $$$, so by the time you counted in the car payment, gas, time commuting, the fact that I never would see my husband because he works odd shifts "on call" type schedule, etc. It just was not worth it. This way I can play/babysit with my grandson 3-4 days a week and work nights, etc. Manure shoveling sounds better than some of the office politics I've seen over the years, that's for sure! I agree, I wish the pay was more and it is sad that people want experienced transcriptionists for 6 cpl:(
You go girl!!!! NM

YOU GO GIRL....
Misha,
I'm still laughing so forgive me if I make a few "typos" o.k.? 
Having taken a break from MT and working in a law firm for about four years in the mid-1980s, knowing what I know about attorneys, I think you should send it. Lawyers, as much as doctors, have a great rivalry and there's nothing like publicity to whet a lawyer's appetite! I say YOU GO GIRL.....
You Go Girl!!!
Right on, QA dragon lady!! I am SO on board with what you are saying. I have been an MT/QA for 35 years and I must say that a lot of the newer MTs don't want to take the time to do the research necessary to learn their jobs so that they are knowledgeable and can produce a good document. I have found so many lazy MTs that use QA to fill in the blanks that they don't fill like filling in. I spent many, MANY (unpaid!) hours in my early days going over every single reference book I could lay my hands on to find a single word because it drove me crazy if I could not find it! We did not have the benefit (and ease) of the internet back then and had to rely on our own resources to find answers. I think the internet and these types of forums have made it too easy for newer MTs to be lazy. They think it should just be handed to them on a silver platter. I'm sorry to you conscientious newer MTs - and I know there are a lot of you - but the lazy, careless, sloppy MTs make a bad name for everyone. It is no wonder that QA today is at the end of their ropes. If you saw the simple blanks - I mean simple to fill in if someone had just taken the time to pull up Google - that are sent through QA, it would curl your hair. Stop blaming everyone else in the world for your laziness, take a good inventory of your skills and figure out what you need to do to improve yourselves. Do not shoot the messengers. It is too easy to blame QA. Don't forget we started right where you are today - the difference is we know how to do research.
you go girl!
I love your closing paragraph. Can we get it put on mugs, shirts, carry-all bags, etc. and tell the world?????? How about billboards, half-time screens at games.... ESPN are you listening????
you go girl...
from another MT Mom who does it all too!!!
girl:
most of us could never write such a sweet note. You may be missing your true calling!
You go girl...well said...

You go, girl! He does not deserve
the patronage of any sensible person.
LOL!! Exactly..maybe i should give you a you go girl!! NOT

Hey girl, don't sweat it (sm)
Just as the poster below said, the manual is extensive, but a lot of reinforcement detail. It's actually pretty straight-forward and clear. Just take a deep breath and read it once before your training. You don't have to learn everything before the training session.
The training sessions are very clear and the instructors (mine anyway) are very patient and knowledgeable.
DQS has a lot of bells and whistles, but it is a very user-friendly program.
Send the computer back when you upgrade yours. When you switch, all you have to do is download the program on your computer and all your parameters/info/expansions will still be there.
I had EXTREME anxiety before I trained and went to work on DQS. It was all for nothing... my learning curve was slow, but that's just me... an old dog.
Good luck, sweetie, and check in later and let us know how it's going! :)
missing girl
I did miss some of it, but if the missing girl was the man's daughter, then she was alive. His daughter was the one at the beginning with the ring in her nose. Maybe someone else who saw the whole thing can fill in the details.
You go girl, I agree 100%. One of my
positions is as an IC and I am able to do the same thing as you. My other position, they basically are just holding my money for me because I get 95% of it back come tax season anyhow. Good point!!!
girl power
high five
