Bush is speaking tonight on Mexico border at 8
I just heard on TV that Bush will be speaking at 8 pm on ABC insteady of Oprah's Legend Ball, and when he's done, last night's Grey's Anatomy will be rerun and then the 2-hour finale from 9-11 pm EST.....
So if ya missed it last night, you'll get about 3 hours tonight of the Season Finale.......
They just did a breaking news bit on it..
they started saying 8yr old..now claiming it's a 15yr old that was shot and taken to the hospital. I imagine alot of details will be sketchy until they have more time. Again...God bless to all of you
BREAKING NEWS- I JUST CALLED PA DMV
I did not believe and glad I did not. For a license I was told a child needs birth certificate, with the raised mark, SS, consent from parent and a physical form. I specifically said this is a female- does it involve breast or GYN exam and they said NO- it is only saying the child does not suffer from something like seizures, then I asked a second time- if it involved breast exam or gyn and they said NO for the second time, NOTHING INVASIVE. This was a crock, saw right thru from the start.
Admin -breaking news says see new nursing forums - how do I get there? nm

It's been all over the news about Bush being to blame for this natural disaster. Anyone sitting i
would have been blamed, too. It really doesn't matter what political affiliation they would be. People HAVE to put the blame somewhere and why not right at the very top? What this really comes down to is that PEOPLE, not VOTERS must come together and work in harmony for the common good of our fellow man. If we leave all the political baloney out of the equation, something good can be done.
Millions others wish Bush would be outsourced too, as evidenced by the poll. Bush = 1st Class moron
Mexicans
That is no lie. I have never seen so many Mexicans in my life as the last couple of years. And illegal. I posted a post about illegal aliens on the gab forum wanting other peoples opinion to the way it is handled in the country and stating mine. Nothing out of line either. It was deleted. Obviously someone was offended by the mention of illegal aliens in our country and how they are just taking over mainly Mexicans. I have an illegal alien (Mexican) living near me who has went and gotten pregnant and has no way to pay for it. What a surprise, huh? I don't think the country even trys to do anything about it really. Fustrates the heck out of me! Bunch of freeloaders. I wonder how would she go about going to the hospital. I mean what would she tell them about citizenship or would they even ask. Beats me.
You are so right - We had Rita here.
They always say 3 days supply. We only had a lot of wind and some trees down where I live, power was back on in 2 days, and it took a week before the stores were stocked. There was barely any meat, dairy, water or ice for at least 4-5 days. Some stores had it, some didn't. If we had really gotten hit hard, we would have been out of luck with a 3-day supply. It certainly taught me a lesson. I would think people in Florida would know this too.
Just kicked the 3 CPL to the curb!
3 cpl for editing VR is RIDICULOUS and I'm fed up. I suddenly had an "epiphany" that this just was not worth my time and effort. Sometimes, if the jobs are easy enough to edit, its not a problem, so I tried to keep an open mind going into this, just to see if one could actually break even or make more than straight typing. HA! No more 3 cpl for me. Someone else can do it, but not me. 
Unfortunately, he really blew it and she really needs to kick him to the curb.
Sorry.
I think you ought to kick the creep to the curb and be done with him.
Living life like that isn't living life at all. You need to do what makes you happy. Never, ever, stay together because of the kids. Your kids are probably not the happiest children with the home situation the way it is, and you know that he already doesn't want the responsibility of taking care of your kids, so what's the use in having him hanging around your neck like an albatross?
I was married to a jerk who was very similar to your husband and with 3 children it wasn't easy to manage on my own, but I sure did it and I'm glad I did. It was difficult getting out of my "comfort" (discomfort) zone and make the change, but I knew it had to happen. That was nearly 5 years ago now and I am happier and my children are happier. Dear old dad comes around whenever he feels like it to see the kids and I have his paycheck garnished for child support.
Best of luck to you!
I didn't get your post either Rita.
Did he do the face lift or not? If he did the face lift and dictated it at a later date and predated the report then that goes on all of the time. When a doctor fails to dictate then it is is dictated at a later date but the date of the actual service or the study, etc. is performed usually does not change. 
Well Rita, what happened in your case is not the same as...sm
what is being described in the original post. According to the original post, information is being gleaned from other reports and used to generate a new report with a different heading. Same information, different report type. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with making things up or "putting things in that did not happen or exist." If the information in the transcriptionist-generated report only contains information that already exists in other reports, then all that is taking place is just a reorganization of previously authenticated information. Completely different than what happened in your case where information was falsified by claiming that something was done that, in fact, was not.
Actually, the physician involved might actually look at the whole thing as doing him/her a favor by taking care of something they may have possibly overlooked, although it's more likely they were just procrastinating. Either way, the physician looks at the report and either signs it or they don't. What's the big deal?
do you really think they cross the border on their own?
All they have to do is sneak over the border,
pop a baby out onto the bathroom floor, and the baby is a US citizen! Give me a BREAK. This country has gotten so F'd.
Dateline, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sopranos,
Anyone else along the gulf coast who is watching Rita?
Rita now a category 4 and taking same path as Katrina.
Those poor souls. Hurricane season gets worse and worse every year!
Hurricane Rita just upgraded to Category 5 with winds of 165 mph
I hope everyone from TX stays safe. Learn from Katrina.
I didn't put up with it! I kicked my ex to the curb because I got tired of dealing with his SM
friends and incessant need to pretend he was a college boy, going to the bars, coming home drunk at 3 o'clock in the morning. Let me tell, nothing goods from letting your man hang out in bars with his buddies. NOTHING! If he needs to have a drink and relax, he can do that at home and the drinks are cheaper!
I can understand that it's hard for you not to give your friend your opinion. I can't hardly stand to see a woman letting a man treat her badly. It drives me crazy! Call me a feminist or a bra burner, but modern women need to get the message that we don't need men so badly we have to put up with all the garbage they hand out!
We get them all the time. They'd sooner drive over the border
and pay cash here for medical treatment than to wait for Canada's healthcare system to kick in.

entering
If you have won something already, you cannot enter any others, is that correct?
YOU gather up his belongings and throw them out your window onto the curb, or in the driveway, or
wherever. Down to the last razor blade! It is highly unlikely that your husband will gather all of Loser Dude's belongings and bring them back into your house. Dude will gather up his Loser Belongings and find another place to be a hospitality sucking leach. (leech?) Good riddance. Just DO it! And if you have one molecule of sympathy in your brain for this Loser, then you need to go to therapy. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty, nice lady.
Puhleez, what exactly is the government doing about illegals crossing the border?
Absolutely nothing. NOTHING! The government sanctions sending American jobs oversees, puting thousands of American workers on unemployment! So why should I or anyone else feel guilty about trying to get what we rightfully deserve?
As far as testing on the phone goes, doxie, you can be listening on an extension and write the answers down for your husband. Don't feel guilty. You're going to pay your taxes.
Try just entering part of the last name sm

New MTs entering this profession
I don't think it is so much about MTs being all for themselves.
Virtually every newbie needs a great deal of QA support. It is costly. The first urgency of this field is turn-around-time. Slowing down TAT because all of your reports have to be QA'd costs. Having to stop and give you feedback so you don't continue in the same path slows QA down ... again, TAT suffers and this costs. Newbie work needs the QA because quality is the 2nd urgency of this business.
So, it's not your coworkers fault. Not really the MT service companies' fault either. This is the nature of this very competitive business.
It's always better for newbies to go to work inhouse in a hospital and get their experience before working from home. You have to be really self-sufficient to work from home and make it profitable for both yourself and your employer.
Re-entering the MT Field
After being out of MT for 4.5 years I have recently returned. I'm having a hard time finding the right fit. The biggest problem I'm seeing is everybody seems to be requiring headers for reports and then each report put in a separate document, due to the new electronic record. I find that this slows me way, way down. Maybe I'll eventually get used to it, but I sure do miss the days of one document for doctor's day's work. There are so many procedural details that I can't just sit and transcribe. I've also run into very poor voice file sound quality.
I worked in the field for 14 years and never had major problems adjusting to new accounts. Maybe my time is just over for this type of work.
I know technology has definitely made MT easier in some ways, but in others, it seems like such hassle. Does anyone else have problems with headers and all these separate documents? Does the field seem to be worse now than 5 years ago?
If doctors are entering into it, SM
I suspect maybe you really should get out and take a calm undemanding 9-5 type job. Perhaps you could come back later when things in this industry stabilize.
For now, though, this field is in technology- and economics-driven flux, with uncertainty the norm. What is certain is that this is going to continue for some time, during which some people will end up leaving the field altogether even as others adjust to what's thrown at them, retraining or continuing their education as needed.
If you took a second job, I'm afraid the problems you're having with this sistuation with one company would just become the same problems doubled. And let's face it, part-timers are not usually more valued employees than full-timers. Best wishes.
Is Terra Nova owned by a guy that lives on the border of Maine/Canada? - sm
If so, this guy is a snake. He was willing to pay $0.14/line for the Kaleida account just temporarily until he could get his lines set up to offshore. He told me that on the phone!!!
Of course, it is only as good as the people entering the data...
Also, when computers make mistakes, or are hit with malicious worms or viruses, etc., it could be devastating, could it not?
Also, more and more lately we are noticing actually a lot more mistakes with things that are automated, and once there is an error, it has been extremely difficult to get it corrected. Such as - errors at the DMV (?), errors in our car computer (? - again, it is always a mystery when trying to get things fixed), lets see, then there is the mixup with our phone number that belongs to about three other people (still not fixed because we are told it is all done on computer (?)...
Also, who takes responsiblity when there is an error, because with everything automated, there seems to be little or no accountability - you can hardly get through to real people in a lot of businesses today.
The idea of technology is awesome; however human error will always have an affect...
my humble opinion and just an observation. most information still has to be entered by humans. perhaps we will be obsolete.
Breaking into Radiology
Is this easy to do? I have about 10 years acute care experience - all types, but have never done radiology. Thinking about trying that for a change since some say it's better money. I'm wondering if I should get some practice tapes or is it something that I would easily be able to pick up?
Thanks for your help!
We all have our breaking point...
I reached mine after only 14 months - you are much stronger than I. Good luck to you - I hope your new work will sustain you and bring you happiness.
tapes breaking sm
I would like to know how to repair a tape without sending it to someone to do it professionally. I have had this happen in the past and the owner of the dictation had it fixed. However, should I need to do it myself one day, I would not know how. Can you really splice a tape with scotch tape? I would really like to know. I know tapes are gone the way of the dinosaur but you never know! Thanks!

Yes, the page is clear about entering. If you make a donation,
you are entered to potentially win the prize that you chose in the drop down list. You can enter as many times as you wish for any of the prizes listed, but there is only one winner per prize giveaway.
They seemingly are breaking the contract they
have with you if you are an IC. I'd make sure I document everything and go to the labor board or perhaps sue them. I doubt you could get very far and the other idea sounds much better, looking for employment elsewhere.
Breaking into acute care
I've done clinic work for a few years but want to do acute care now. How does one break into it when all the ads say you must have X amount of acute care experience? I'm unemployed now, so I can't ask a current company to start me off on acute care work.
Is it as simple as testing well for the companies that require you to have acute care experience, even if you don't have it?
Ok, doubting Thomas, breaking down what we pay
No health insurance (husband is union- nada, nothing, zilch), I paid 1500 in taxes last year and husband paid out more on his job and when we did out taxes, itemizing got back 3500 on that, 900+ month for house pmt and he has paid that, we have 2 new vehicles and he pays for both, the house and vehicle insurance both run a little over 1000 each- both came due in May and we each pay half of those - he 500 and I pay 500. The small house bills I pay, 184 for cable, television, internet combined, 75 budget billing for gas, about 200 for electric. We eat very reasonably as he cooks and the other night he did stir fry. He had used 1 chicken breast, package of mixed vegetables and with the rice I counted that meal to be less than $5.00 for dinner. He and I both have plenty left over. We both like to do shopping on QVC and HSN and do frequently. I do not see how so many unbelievers out here. We do it and have left overs.
just checked i-mail. no news. how did you get your news?
love,
frank
News flash..Don't know where you get your news, but the economy is doing very well.
s
My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.
As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
Finally steady money. whew. Applied and got job at Dept of Law Enforcement entering
They started me way above minimum because of my experience. I was shocked and happy all at the same time.
And of course I'm esctatic to not be wondering how much money I would be getting each pay check. Working on production in transcription now is like playing Russian Roulette.
There's good benes where I going, retirement, sick days, no games with my health insurance. I should have done this long ago.
Scarry!!! Docs and nurses entering drugs and dosages into online charts. (sm)
Most of my docs cannot spell medical terms. They can't pronounce or spell drugs. The nurses are for the most part useless - no ARNP I ever asked could help me with a medical term.
I just spoke to my HMO. They are now offering personal Online-charts showing
visits, tests, immunizations, etc. of what you personally had done.
I asked EXACTLY HOW DOES THIS INFO GET INTO THE SYSTEM, at what point?
The woman said: It is input by the doc and the nurses.
I shuttered!
There goes the end of quality health care as we used to know it!
For what reason would someone take a chance of breaking into someone's house to kill their 6-year
It was an inside job - Patsy did it.
No spaces IMO looks terrible and is wrong. If you want it to wrap together use non-breaking space
Using non-breaking spaces and non-breaking hyphens negates the issue of the measurement ending up on the next line in a document; which might be imposssible to tell anyway if your work is imported into a format other than what you are typing it in anyway.
The perfect desk! No more chasing the keyboard tray or breaking it...
After years of going through desks at an unbelievable rate due to flimsy keyboard trays, I have found the perfect desk with adding a slight modification. I purchased a glass and aluminum desk (RTA Home and Office Products CT-009 from Willey Goat). The keyboard tray is actually a glass shelf. However, it did not come out far enough, and I contacted a local glass company to cut a longer piece of glass and RTA for extra parts to support an extended the shelf. Now I have a keyboard tray nice and big that I do not have to chase all day that will not break. I am in love! This desk was so easy to put together, unlike others that come in a million pieces. For anybody tired of those flimsy, ugly desks and extra support to rest your wrists/arms on, this is great!
We bought a boat, damn thing keeps breaking down and I have to work more now for repairs.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!! 
Bush did nothing
and Bush did nothing, nada..zilch..he was too busy vacationing at his ranch or taking half a day off each day or sleeping, LOL. I have a friend who lives in Texas and she said Bushs nickname was the half day governor, they all knew he left by noon and went to sleep by 6pm..The guy is an idiot, warmonger, war dodger..Had to get his poppy to get him out of the Vietnam War and when he was in the National Guard could not even finish that obligation, had to get his poppy to get him out and falsify the records to make it look like he was in for his whole enlistment..I just love how Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Rice never went to war yet they are so quick to send our sons and daughters to an immoral, illegal, wrong war..they should all be tarred and feathered..better yet, they will be impeached.
Bush said he was getting rid of IRS.sm
Keep your fingers crossed that we go to a consumption tax (flat tax). According to an IRS report a few years back during the IRS abuse hearings, they said there are more than 60 million nonfilers and delinquent taxpayers. They have to do something to change the tax system and the laws.
