How can we ever be viewed as professionals if we ourselves

Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.
At-Home Professionals
I thought the training there was excellent. At the time, I was very frustrated with all the ESL docs they had, but now i'm glad they did that because while other MTs are shying away from ESLs, I'm getting that work and getting paid a premium for it. It took me a little while to find a job, but I've been working now for over seven years and I never regretted taking those courses. Your best bet would be to start with local doctors and get some experience first. Good luck to you!
Call in the professionals unless you think it will dry really fast.

school professionals are not always "perfect"
In my own experience, my daughter was upset all the time, crying, acting out, etc. I was receiving phone calls quite often, but I knew my daughter. She was in th 4th grade already. I met with teacher it was only about 2 months into the school year. It was actually the teacher my daughter had, who was new to the area and the district and seem very timid. I changed her to a teacher who I knew from before with her brothers and was outgoing, gave lots of praise to all the children and really interested in the kids. My daughter was back to herself..
I have also had problems with the principals, and one was a psychologist. They will try to "bully" you, so you have to stand up for your children. I even had them take off a suspension on her record because it was unfair, as I had many times spoke with the principal about some girls teasing my daughter and hitting her many times and my daughter never did anything and finally was tired of it and hit back and she was suspended. All the other times the other girls never were suspended but they were just talk to. The principal never took the time to speak to the kids before this happened. She just thought my child had issues, but in the end I showed her that my child did not have issues.
Anyway, my older son has ADHD, so it took a teacher who was patient, caring, and who expand the mind of the children not just classify the children with learning disabilities as "worthless" and put them aside.
I have walked into class without notice to see what is going on; I have stayed to help out for awhile.
If you do not get anywhere with the school officials, speak with the superintendent; go up the ladder, make waves. Make sure to document everything, person you spoke to, time, date, etc. Believe me this will help enormously.
We have to be there for our children. We also need to remember they are imperfect, they will also make mistakes and they do need to take the consequences of their actions.
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to All!
Even if the company you work for does not remember this special day, let's just appreciate each other and all that we do for our companies. Have a wonderful, special day, everyone!
If the trained professionals at the school can't handle him,
why do you think you'll be able to work and homeschool him at the same time? I'm not slamming you, but I don't think working and trying to educate your child at the same time is the solution. Maybe try switching teachers or switching schools. Have you had him evaluated by his pediatrician or obtained a referral to someone else? What kind of phone calls are they? Is he acting up? Have you asked him WHY he's doing these things? Kids need to be socialized. They need to learn how to cope with other people. They also need to learn that being part of a society means that you're not always the center of attention. My SIL is going through this with her kid. He's being an absolute beast because he doesn't like the teacher and she has 19 other kids she needs to pay attention to. He wants attention, any attention, so he's acting out. I don't know if your situation is similar to this one or not. I'm just saying that sometimes sticking it out and finding the root of the problem is better than trying to have your attention focused in two different but important places.
Do you think nurses and front office professionals look sloppy?
I don't like to go around looking "sloppy all day" either, but is it really practical to work comfortably in nylons and suit jackets when I am sitting and typing all day? No thanks -- I can't work well that way!
I refuse to wear sweats or jammies because I want my work to reflect my professionalism and I think the way I feel about myself reflects that -- hence, scrubs, which medical professionals wear. I am a medical professional and I don't think there is anything sloppy about wearing tasteful, professional, and comfortable scrubs.
Do you think that front office people, nurses, and doctors look "sloppy all day" by wearing scrubs?

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
![](http://www.offshorexperts.com/images/pixel_gray.gif")
The client is based in the United States that is providing training and education to health care professionals.
The client is looking to outsource the process to outsource agents who can write exam questions from the source material (source material can come from journal articles, books, etc.)
1. The client will provide the source material either by email or by providing the web address.
2. The outsource agent will write multiple choice questions from the source material provided. Each question will only have 4 possible answers, with only one answer being correct.
3. The client will designate the number of questions required per course.
4. The outsource agent will format the questions in a format that will be provided.
5. The outsource agent will email the questions to the client for review and editing.
6. The client will email the edited questions back to the outsource agent.
7. The outsource agent will upload the edited questions to the client website.
The client will pay one dollar US ($1) for each question written.
We believe that for a typical set of question will require 15 questions and will most likely take about 3 hours to complete. This equals about $5 US per hour. We anticipate rejecting some of the questions that are developed, though the client will consider paying for the development. The client will work with the selected agents in the future to assist with question development.

Since you have recently become an advocate for these "well-educated" professionals....
please justify the 20 minutes I had to sit and listen through all because the doc left his hand held recorder on. I actually had to sit there and listen to him urinate AND defecate! Immediately after hearing the toilet flush, I could hear the door open and then several footsteps that led him to meet, greet, and converse some more. I was more appalled at the fact that such a "well-educated" medical professional didn't care enough to wash his germ infested hands after his restroom break. Unbelievable.
Advance for Health Information Professionals. Mostly geared toward coders now. nm
