Neurosurgery
I have done general surgery, but not radiology and now I am transcribing for neurologists and neurosurgeons. Orthopedics is much harder for me. A lot of the neurology and neurosurgery is repetitive. I have a Stedman's neurology word book, but I tend to use Google more often. I did not find it too difficult at all. If you can do the nerve conduction studies and EEGs, you should not have trouble with the rest of it. I guess the part I had the most trouble with is the brain anatomy terms, but I have never failed to find what I needed.
Neurology, neurosurgery, infectious dz..

...with Workers' Comp experience, where are you? Help!
Have you tried Stedman's Neurology/Neurosurgery book? sm
I have a third edition(2003) I could sell you cheap ($20 including postage if you live in the continental US). The fourth edition (2006) is the latest. Just e-me if you're interested.
I pay $35/month through Vonage for unlimited LD. Local phone co. charges $50/month. NM

Bare Minerals IS available at ULTA online,Sephora online...(sm)
...and you don't have to sign up for a makeup "club," or anything. I totally agree with you that this makeup is great for all the basic purposes (coverage, lasting), but their slogan is "Makeup so healthy you can sleep in it." There is a delay in time between when you can apply your powder after moisturizer, but it is really worth it.
To go with your powder I recommend the "pump brush" offered at some of the cosmetic online stores. You fill the handle with your powder mixture (I mix two different powders, changing it up or down according to how much sun I've been getting) and the pump brush will distribute some to the bristles, tap and have at it! This is great for carrying it with you to minimize the loss into the lining of your handbag!
I cannot recommend Bare Minerals enough. I used to be a MAC convert, and have tried everything from Chanel to Maybelline--this product does not disappoint.
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P

1 month and you?
A month - and you?
We have had it for a month. All 5 of us
at one time or another tested positive for Strep. Only got well after antibiotics. But it lingers and flares up for weeks. Our entire town has it, and all for weeks and weeks - actually since Halloween.
If it has been less than a month,
you're probably still on probation, which works both ways. I would review the policy and speak to a supervisor before they invest any more time in training, etc. If you're professional and polite, it will work out.
Since one never knows whom they'll encounter down the road, try to make a graceful exit. Good luck.
I'm 30. 31 next month....
See update below.
a month...
I type 24 hours a week. I am new though and only get paid 7 cents a line right now. Would love to make more too!
$9,500 per month
Oh, I don't like to post my earnings here. It is such personal information. And I have you all beat cuz I make 19 cents per line.
My 18 month old was saying....

A month? I do!

how is $288/month better than $57/month?

I got one about a month ago.
It's been all right so far. It was not my first choice, but I needed a laptop in a hurry and didn't want to spend a lot, and Gateways were on sale at Best Buy, so that's what I got. If I had had more time, I would have chosen a Dell or HP, but the Gateway seems all right. A colleague mentioned that his son's school uses Gateway laptops and have been happy with them, so it's probably a safe choice, if you can find one at the right price.
One month
I took one month off, but wish I would have taken a little longer.
I have been looking for about a month
and finally I got 2 offers, but 1 company I've heard nothing about and the other I've heard good and bad things about. I really need to be working and don't know what to do. It's a bad time for everyone it seems.
I have to contain myself for now, but I have a H*LL of an online SM
dating story - the stuff they make movies out of. I'm not kidding, either. I will be able to tell it soon, hopefully.
For what it's worth, I have found the most astounding dating site. Totally FREE. The best part of it is that there are forums there. http://www.plentyoffish.com
I buy online at...
Old Navy is one of my favorites. Their stores are so small that they never have my size in stock anyway. If you order from their website, the shipping is only $5 no matter how much you buy. I also buy and sell a lot on ebay and half.com. At Christmas time, I buy from Toys R Us online. They usually have free shipping if your bill is over $50, and you can get the sale price. I missed it yesterday. I didn't realize that I could have purchased the 4-hour deals from Toys R Us on their website. Oh well, maybe next year.
and I never used AOL online..sm
but was a big investor back just before 2001 and I sold lots of shares when AOL was at 30....it subsequently went down to 9 or 11 and then was not on the market for a long time....
happy holidays y'all if y'all celebrate .
here ya go for online one

Look online
You can get some general info online. But before signing up make sure you find out what the charges are for maintaining your account yearly, monthly or however. That can make a big difference as to where you put your money.
What's the best way to take an online
I have 4 pretty long transcription tests to take from an online site and am tearing my hair out!!! I can't figure out Express Scribe (and I'm told it probably won't work), but using manual controls on these voice files s going to take me all night. Is there a trick to it?
online BOS
I just love this online BOS. Did you know all you have to do is bring it up, ctrl 4, put in a word, and it will search the whole BOS for you - Bingo! there it is! Love it.....I've been using it more than I ever did with the paperback.
Where is the online BOS?
nm
I use online
resources the most.
I think I might have developed this habit because I need to have glasses with bifocals now and can't afford them. Thus, using the web is easier for me.
I have pretty good luck with it too.
Anyone using online BOS?
I'm wondering if anyone is using the online BOS 3rd edition and if you like it?
All comments appreciated. - P.S. The company I work for uses these rules so the info is pertinent ... and I have no former editions.
Thanks. 
as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

Is it just me? Started DQS at MQ last month
and although I've read over and over that MTs that start on DQS start loosing lines, I swear my production has gone up. For the first couple of weeks, it stayed a little less than normal, then I was moved onto a NEW acct on DQS and I'm always a little amazed how many lines it says I've managed to squeeze out.
Don't get me wrong--not happy about many things going on with this company, and I'm a little nervous. I'm just a mere SE with not much say in anything. But the line thing, it's been OK for me.
I agree, especially with a 6 month f/u. SM
Can you call the office and ask the doctor call you back to explain the findings?
Thanks. You know, we have been OUT OF WORK for over a month.
the moment is hard.
And, ha ha, nothing with MQ is fast anymore anyways. I bet I haven't made over 120 lines an hour in 3 months. I get bad reports nonstop. NONSTOP.
It would have been decent of them to have said it was an option instead of pretending like it was mandatory. Especially since they know we are broke out here from having no work. And believe me they know we have had no work.
Oh well, just another reason why I can't stay in MT after all these years. Why do I want to keep "giving" it away.
I adore it. Have had it about a month...
...and it's now the only keyboard for me. I've always used ergo keyboards, but this one has totally negated the pain that I'd get even from those. I use the "booster" part that goes in the front--which seems to be the key, along with the more canted angle of the board. Thank you Microsoft!
Well, I actually pay close to $700 a month..
for health insurance, so wouldn't affect me much. The company will still be based in Houston though. They just have another location in Florida. The gas sounds promising. I was wondering how much for food. How much for bread, milk, etc. Just to get an idea. So far, it just sounds like the homes are what is real expensive there. The gas is comparible to Houston. How much do you pay for home insurance per year? In Texas, the ratio is usually something in the range of you buy a house for $140,000, your monthly bill would be around 1,400 for everything, taxes included. The homes here going for around $130,000-$160,000 look comparable to the homes ranging $260,000-$300,000 there. That is a huge difference.
Only been there a month, but have not ran out of work yet.. more than enough.
Maybe it depends on your account. I have only worked on one account and this one has plenty of work. I have not ran out at all.. usually, the account is even a little behind..
I have a 9yo shih tzu and an 9-month-old
Lab/retriever mix. Beautiful babies!!
5000 a month
It is actually quite possible to do. I work for a small transcription business and one of our transcritionist averages $1900 to $2000 a week. She takes advantage of her ESP/shortcut program and makes templates for everything. So it can be done.
$9500/month
Well, I for one do not believe anyone pays 19 cents a line. I would need to see proof of that in writing as I think it is a bunch of a bologne!
$9500/month
Well, no wonder, you live out in the East Coast area which is way more expensive to live, so that I can believe.
Try asking for a 1 month deferment.

32 next month one child age 6
I am 31, 32 next month and I am divorced with a precious son who is 6
My 18 month old is eaten up with it!
She literally has it everywhere! She has tried every topical cream by prescription there is and they don't even touch it. Recently, her doc gave me samples of Cetaphil lotion and body wash and those have been the best thing she has ever used. It is in the lotion section at most stores. I have learned that certain things make it flare up worse at times; like food touching her skin (of all things). I read somewhere that even being upset can cause it to flare up. It is so bad that she cries and says "itching" several times a day.
Her doc told me that they will not be prescribing Elidel or Protopic anymore because they might cause cancer. Just thought I would tell you that in case your son is on either one of those.
Let me know if you find a magic cure for it!
I use Qwest - $25 a month. nm
X
yes, but how old are you that you can get individual ins for $59/month?
x
I don't know..... I know many MTs making that in a month....
but in their jammies, don't have to fuss with the makeup and only have to leave the house to go shopping! Oh, and they still get the write offs.
In this month's issue of
Advance, there is an offering for quite a nice prep kit.
What to do for mid-month cravings?
Help, ladies! I am 42 and am finding myself having major mid-month cravings now. I am not overweight and keep in good shape through diet and exercise, but come mid-month of my cycle all you-know-what breaks loose! It has become nothing to buy and eat a bag of chips, a large chocolate bar, and then go prowling around my house for something else "bad" to eat. After a few days I feel back to normal, but I really feel out of control for a few days a month now. Any suggestions? 
miserable the last month or so?....nm
Oregon too...$160 last month....
everything electric, no A/C (live in the Coast Range, don't really need it) but have an electric fence that is always on to keep the horses in and the usual appliances, etc. It was only $63 for May, but we were gone on vacation for the month so no hot water use, etc. Got an energy efficient washer and dryer a couple of months ago, has really helped out the bill too.
I use SimpleFTP....$6 month for 50 MB.....nm
