them or whoever gets their accounts. That way, I know that it will not go offshore. If more health systems do this, we will be in good shape down the road.

Share 2 reasons (or more) about why you love your DH?
I love him because;
1- He knows me better than I know myself sometimes.
2- After 17 years together... he still makes me believe that I'm
the most beautiful girl in the world.
I love my Kodak Easy Share with
docker. Mine is only the 2.0 mega pixel but takes great pictures. I've used it to sell hundreds of items on ebay with great photos as well as for personal photos. The dock is awesome - just one click and your picture is loaded and ready for editing. I heartily recommend Kodak Easy Share digitial cameras.
Don't you love that I a share I'm an editor and I typed a while low instead of now? haha

Cute. I love it when docs share their sense of
.
Share company you work for. TIA n/m

Congrats, girl, and get your share of any money that you share before he wipes you out. nm

Share, share, I've been looking for some time...sm
sending out resumes gallor, have great experience, but they sound like clones of each other in what they offer, yet what they want is it all!!! I'm so discouraged, in the depression boat myself! They want you to commit to FT, new equip, DSL, on and on!!!
I work PT and LOVE it!
I think what you may be looking for are actual experiences from people who have done this on a part-time basis, not as a full-time career. I'll tell you...it is very possible to do part-time to supplement your income, and it can be very enjoyable (and even somewhat rewarding) IF you find the right fit as far as specialty, employer, schedule, etc.
I started an on-line course about 4 years ago, it took me just under a year to finish it at a very casual pace, and I found a position as an IC when I was about half-way through the course. Over the past 3 years, I have applied with about 10 different companies and have received employment offers from the majority of them. I have a very good work ethic and track record, have never been a "job hopper," and it has paid off in this field, as this caliber of employee seems to be a rarity and it is therefore appreciated by employers.
I currently am working about 15 hours a week, make about $350 a week, and I love it. I won't lie, though, and tell you it was a piece of cake to get to this point. I had to work hard and "cheap" for the first year, but now I am so glad I did. It is actually very relaxing for me, and I look forward to working. However, I do not have a baby OR a full-time job. I have a husband who makes good money and supports the family and provides insurance and financial security. However, someday should I ever need or want to work full-time I at least have that option available.
I worked full-time (plus some) in a professional office for about 15 years, but after my first child was born I cut way back and have NEVER regretted it. My kids are now teens and pre-teens, and my time with them has been precious, to both me and to them. They are very well-adjusted, confident kids and have made me very proud.
Good luck with your decision, and I'd say "go for it." You seem like a very level-headed person with a lot of drive and ambition. Sorry about all the "negativity" on this board; you just have to learn to consider the source sometimes and read between the lines. It's really too bad, but there's no use fighting it; some people will just never be happy I guess.
Best wishes!
I would love to proof your work and see how that looks but I am sure you will tell us you are 100%.

I love the company I work for - sm
MDI-MD. Flexible schedule, wonderful and friendly staff and supervisors, pay always on time.
I also work on eScription and LOVE it.
.
because I LOVE transcription work.
I am 60 years old and neither need the $ nor the bennies, I just love doing transcription (of course with the caveat of having all the appropriate demographics provided as well as clearly enunciated dictation). Doubt, though, that you can understand this.
I would love to work inhouse, but...
those jobs are getting scarce. I would like to know how all us newbies are supposed to start in-house when those jobs have all been outsourced.
If all docs love your work, and only one is - sm
complaining about the bill, I would NOT lower my prices! Chances are he is more of a pain to transcribe than the others, too -- am I right? Stick with what you're doing, don't let them (or him) intimidate you into selling yourself cheaply. You are most likely already worth more than you're charging! Why work harder for less money, especially when you're very familiar wih the docs & their dictation, you do good work, and they AGREE you do good work? Sticking to your guns (AND raising your rates when your cost-of-living and other overhead go up) is one way to weed out the bad apples in the customer-pool. They can be easy replaced; your time, health, and financial security cannot. And finally, you just KNOW that they're raising THEIR prices to their patients every year. Some of that should be trickling down to you, as well. If not, you're being cheated.
LOVE them-- won't work without mine.

Don't ya just love having to work when the Superbowl is on? OMG....
Too many of the docs dictating are obviously watching the game and NOT paying attention to their dictation....pausing way too often, repeating themselves, stopping to say, "WHooooooo"
Just go watch the stupid game and THEN do your dictation!
Done venting.
I work on eScription and love it.
With the part-time position I have using eScription, straight transcription I average about $27-$28 an hour and with VR I can average up to about $34-$35 an hour. It did take me a little time and concerted effort to get there, though. I had to learn to keep up with the dictation and I have to really pay close attention but even with difficult dictators, I still do as well or better with VR than straight transcription.
I get 10 cpl for transcription and 5 cpl for VR.
I agree. Love Canadians, but we need our work here.
What about their socialized med system? No work for them there? Nope, I love Canadians as our neighbors, but I agree we need to keep it in the USA.
I love my vet, the only blood work she does is an occasional - sm
heartworm test, about every 2 years. Only take the dogs (and cat) in for shots, no extra or unnecessary stuff. She is cheap (and good) too, compared to where we used to live. I'd say if there is a hint of a problem, then yeah it should get monitored. But if there is nothing wrong, then why? Once every few years should be adequate I would think for blood work. As for teeth cleaning, I have only done it once with 1 of dogs because she was going to be out anyways getting some teeth pulled, a tumor removed too, so we had her teeth cleaned. As for my other dogs, forget it, that is what Milk Bones and Dentabones are for. I already spend enough on shots for 3 dogs, Frontine, heartworm pills, special dog food for the 1 dog, etc. Some vets do whatever to get more $, others though don't get greedy (country vets) and think of the animal, not on pumping up their bottom line. If you aren't happy with your vet then either tell them you only want the 1 x a year visit, shots only, none of the extra crap, you can say NO, it's your pet. Or find another vet. Though we are in the boonies, we have 2 vets within 2 miles of each other, who are both very reasonable, go into town though and you pay a lot more.
I work in Meditech and love it. Like anything else, you have to get used to it. There are two vers
is awesome. The other is OK but it depends on the hospital. I worked at home for a hospital that used it and it was slow. I work for a service now that uses it and there is no lag time at all. It is radiology, so that might make a difference, not sure.
I work with eScripting doctors and love it. sm
However, some of them are such conscientious dictators AND the machine has them down so pat that, if they were in charge of their own dictation--like independent practitioners--routing their reports through an editing service might turn out to be completely unnecessary. Office staff could give them a quick glance-over instead. I know nothing about the business end of this, just what I'm seeing on the screen.
And, yes, I was also really intrigued to see that some of the most horrible-sounding dictators quickly developed a very good working relationship with the machine. For sure, accents are totally irrelevant as the machine doesn't know they exist--if a practitioner can't get his tongue around h's and r's and always pronounces "heart" as "et" the machine thinks that's the way it's supposed to be pronounced--by that doctor.
I do much prefer editing over transcribing-fits my skill set better, but undoubtedly fewer editors than transcribers per report will be rquired in future.
Yes and absolutely worth it. I love to work
outside when weather permits. I don't do it every day because hooking up and unhooking and having to carry everything gets to be a pain, but I do it on occasion. I also like to travel, which is why I got a laptop to start with. It allows me to work in the car or a couple of hours a day wherever we go so there is still some income, but I also have time to enjoy time with family.
sorry...not a great experience. I do love the work,
s
Yes, I work for one and love the work.

IF by PT you mean Physical Therapy -- it's EASY! I love PT, don't get it where I work now tho

I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck. I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them. It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies. I feel like I am appreciated.
Does anyone use a Herman Miller Aeron chair for work and if so, do you like/love it? nm
nm
no i don't love being MT but it beats McDonalds. no i don't work for a great company.
no raises and constant shift in management. no i don't make more than enough money to just pay my bills but i have cut down on overhead of regular job outside of the home.
it's an okay job relatively speaking.
I love the night shift! No interruptions and more work on the system.
I agree with poster below - Power NAPs! I am a napper, need my nap about 30 minutes to 1 hour, before my shift and a pot of coffee sometimes 2 gets me through!
There's a tutorial in the program and yes you do create expansions while you work. Love it! nm

1990 VW Golf here, love it. Work at home, don't drive much.

I'm using it, but on my non-work pc (love it!) Sorry I couldn't answer your question re: foot
.
Oh and don't you love the "WOW, you work from home?? HEY! I can type - hook me up!" sm
That burns my hiney more than anything else. Working from home is NOT a piece of cake. I can relate to those who think since we work from home we can just get up anytime. I don't know how many times I have tried to explain that if I were working in a "traditional" office, that they wouldn't just walk in, call, etc. etc. but I don't think anybody will ever really get that our time is money, literally.
I love it too! I have my emails from work make a ringing tone
and pop up on my desktop,much like Yahoo messenger or IM. It's great. Never miss an email and can respond right away.
I have 2 clinics still on tapes, love'em! Also work for a national. Like that too. nm
nm
I just love it when our cat plops down on my note pads with my work notes....have to pull it all out
x
Couldn't work any other way. I love being portable, and the equipment takes up so much less room.

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
Please share...
Favorite small appliance. I have 2 jobs now, love my crock pot but am looking for something a little more versitile... Something I can throw everything into in the morning and just set it and forget it! Any suggestions? Thanks! 
share
share any work ??
share
That is great pay. Where do you work. I read so many people who love where they are but yet no one shares the info. I have been looking the past few months but have yet to find one that starts out with a decent pay. I would have to take a cut in pay just to get more flexibility which I don't think is a fair trade.
Share what?
Our jobs that are limited as it is? So when we all lose our jobs to people in India, China, etc., can we assume you personally are going to share the money from what used to be our jobs with us so we can keep our homes and feed our families? I think not. Transcribe for your own damn doctors and leave the American patients to us.
yes please share with us !
Just had to share
Our Rottie had puppies Saturday morning!!!!! 11 in all, 6 girls and 5 boys. We lost a baby girl yesterday morning, but the rest are doing great. We're exhausted, but they're fine. They're sooooo cute.....
Yes, please share
info about this.
Share What?
There are a lot of claims by a lot of MTs that cpl is the only way to go, and claiming that they are being paid more than most astronauts, but being given a salary/hourly rate to be recognized as the professionals that we are would be nice. When I started out the main issue was understanding the content of what you were transcribing and it was expected that you kept updated on all new terminology, meds, etc. You definitely would not find a nurse or other professional agreeing to be paid by how many blood draws they do and yes, it does boil down to the same thing.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
had to share, doc just said...sm
The patient was taped to the operating room..... Wish I could see that!
Let me share with you....
not really sure what you mean by the long-time MTs getting angry, maybe you can share- I didn’t have internet at all prior to 2004. OMG but made really big money years ago and has it ever dropped now days! But back to sharing… my grandkids who you know can show us all we need to know about the latest gadgets, computers, blackberries, whatever went with me up to my father's home. He was in his late 80s then. I asked the 14-year-old gdaughter to go in the bedroom and call someone for me. She went back but soon returned to where we were and called her brother, a 16-year-old with a puzzled look on her face. Finally the both of them came back into the living room and said they had no idea how to use granddaddys phone- it was a rotary. Laugh, laugh. See it is all when you grow up and with what.
yes PLEASE SHARE
We would all like to work for a great company to! Email me if you prefer.
