She could probably sell the purse on the street for cash, then use the cash for drugs. nm

To Dancin Shoes & Cathy
Good for both of you! Hey, I know exactly where you're coming from with the sore neck and shoulders - I had 2 cervical diskectomies with bone implants, screws and plate fixation in March. What I do is request a 12-hour window for work, then work 2 or 3 hours and break for 1 or 2, work another 2 or 3 and take that break, then do the last of my shift. It's incredible the difference it makes as opposed to sitting "frozen" all the way through!

Of course, there are days when I'm able to do more than 2 or 3 hours at a time, and I do them at will, but scheduling the 12-hour window really makes a difference.

If I were MT Queen for a Day, I would make that the #1 optional guideline for all MTs! We are, after all, the backbone of the medical profession!

OK, I'm off my soapbox now . . . :o)

To Cathy - note about possible hire-on with my job
I have a few more years on you. I was told by my job that they did not want referrals from us - and so that is fine with me. Sorry I could not give more information but that is straight from them.
Meditec
Don't now anything about the internist program but Meditec is awful. Stay as far away from it as you can. It isn't user friendly at all. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time even learning it.
Meditec??

What is your opinion of this school.  I have a friend that is interested.  Thanks!


Meditec.com
You can email corie@meditec.com and ask her for references. You can contact current students or former students in the internship program.
Meditec job

If you love sarcasm and mean, rude people this job is for you! LOL.


I worked for them for three months and could not stand another second of the manager AND her cousin's mean wit.


Stay away! Of course, it might have been that I was singled out in which case, stay away! You never know what will set them off.


meditec

I know I've read a lot of posts about not paying for mentoring programs but has anyone actually taken the program with MediTec? If so how did it go? Is it legit? It is easy for those of you who have your foot in the door to say we shouldn't pay (and I agree) but we need to get started somehow and I think there just aren't enough opportunities for newbies to get going.


Meditec question

Well, I can't seem to find my post so I'll try it again.  I was wondering if anyone has done an internship at Meditec?  If so, what did you think of it?


Thanks


Meditec Internship

Is anyone out there involved with Meditec's internship program?  If so, would you respond and tell me what you think about it?


Thanks!!!!


Meditech vs Meditec
Meditech is the software, not at all related to the school at meditec.com.
Meditec??? I entered for that last week.
Sorry, just confused.
mean, sarcastic manager and QA cousin at meditec

The internship is fine, don't look to get rich though. Purely training. Good way to get your foot in the door.  The reason why you may want to stay away is because of the manager and her cousin who is in editing. Mean, sarcastic people! That is how they treated me anyway.


Just from a courtesy standpoint, if they are
used to you being there and available for stats, then I would let them know.

Courtesy of Shorthand, 69% according to SM
a short report for one of my usual dictators I just transcribed to get a % to pass on to you. I do almost all editing these days, though, so this test did not include a number of standard words and phrases I would either have in storage or remember and use if I did more transcription, i.e., Shorthand's contribution would be higher (gotta be fair to my precious expander!) :)

GOOD LUCK!!!


I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
What about my cash flow problem?
She owes me for 2 weeks work.
Good for you!! We are the same as far as paying with cash.
It was (and still is occasionally) hard to be patient and save for what you want instead of using credit, but it is so, so, so worth it!!  Nothing like peace of mind and not being "owned" by creditors and employers.  Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing. 
Is it unheard of to cash in PTO with national?

I have 75 hours of PTO and wonder if the national I am with (starts with an S and ends with an S) would allow me to cash it in?  This thought just occurred to me so will call HR when I have time to but just wondered if anyone has done this and is it an unreasonable request.


Thanks


Yeah, i need the extra cash
my husband passed away in january. I need the promotion or I have to get a second job and I thought to work at home would be good because I still have a 15 year old at home. Oh well, I was trying to get prepared, but God will provide. I'm sure it will all work out. The hospital I work for has been very good to me so I count my blessings there. Thanks!
The difference between a refi with cash out and a
home line is there is a variable rate with a home equity line of credit. The refi with cash out finance rate is 4.625% right now.

I was sent a courtesy copy of the office notes for a family member once.
This was soon after I became an MT. I was so appalled at the sloppiness of the typing and the rampant use of inappropriate abbreviations that we switched doctors. At least I knew what the abbreviations were for, not sure the typical lay person would have.
Ew. My DH listens to Johnny Cash and the Highwaymen.
I tell him it's canner music. I've listened to AC/DC for 25 years, but I listen to a lot of other types of music, too. My kids were surprised because they didn't know I listened to AC/DC and they like it, too. They don't like Johnny Cash or the Highwaymen either. At least AC/DC isn't rap or thrash metal. (Angus rules!) My son's learning to play electric guitar and he likes all those old rock bands.
Unless you work in a bank or at a cash register,
doubt they would do a credit check. I remember telling my employer during my interview about my Ch13, explaining the surgery, the divorce, the agony...she sat there and then said "we don't do credit checks." This was at a major hospital. Background checks only.
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
I havent had insurance in many, many years, I pay cash and like SM
the poster below I usually get a 20% discount, but you have to call around to find out who will give it to you. My DD had to have an MRI last year and I got a big discount on that too by calling around.

Originally, insurance was intended for hospitalization, not regular doctor visits. I dont know how it evolved into this monster we have now, but it sure has driven the cost up.

hey if you can afford it and a supervisor's approval means more to you than cash, have at it.
i want the luck of the draw.  you think your supervisor is going to pay your bills when she routes crap to you and it takes you twice as long to do a report?  all you do is make her look good and she gets a raise. 
It's true that if you cash a check, they are no longer liable, but
with direct deposit, we are not given the choice to cash it or deny it. Wonder how that direct deposit affects that choice.
But you have learned nothing. Ever hear of paying cash for what you want, instead of financing?

Buy him a Johnny Cash CD, my kids are singing their hearts out right now to JC.

Hey if you have the cash more power to you. Obviously the rest of the country doesn't.
Everytime I go into a Walmart I see poor folks shopping and I never see poor folks in high-end stores with la-de-dah staff snubbing them. We just can't afford the prices independents need to charge the consumer.
