Good job! Chose the right man to marry, common goals. KUDOS!

Thanks, of course I used common sense...sm
before I posted and waited until not only after the press release but after the details came out. We were carefully briefed early on on the details of what was and wasn't okay.
My daughter is going out of her skin waiting to hear. She loves history and current events at school, particularly the mock elections, etc. I just think it is a wonderful opportunity to give her this early in life. I hope it makes a huge impression if she gets to go as far as the importance of exercising her right to vote, etc.
I think this is common sense to the
I believe what she is saying is how to get relief NOW, since perhaps she does not have the funds to pay them? She cannot very well take a time machine back one year and save up the money now can she?
Seems like common sense
The negative effects on our health really does seem like common sense. I love the peace and quiet of working nights, and in the days when I used to work graveyard shift outside of my home, I loved going to the grocery store and running other errands early in the morning when places were was less crowded. But, I have to admit that working nights kind of leaves me with less than an energetic, healthy feeling. Through trial and error, the best compromise that I've found for me is to make sure that I sleep at the same time every day, whether or not I am off work for that day, and make sure that I get 5 hours or more of sleep during the dark hours. I've found that the rhythm of this plan has made all the difference, which is no surprise. This, of course, is easiest to do in the wintertime.
Is this not common sense?
I think maybe my first month or so of doing MT I would actually try to look up stuff as I came to it. It doesn't take long to figure out that is the WORST way to do it.
Why not? Just common sense.

This is common sense...
He means exactly what EMR means electronic medical record. Why is this so difficult to understand? There are many benefits to medical records being electronic. Research it and you will find out for yourself.
Again, common sense....
It is not already implemented at many facilities, yet at others it is; thus, the desire to implement it universally. Below is an excerpt from Wiki regarding EMR. This should clear things up for you. Also, spend a few moments reading the second paragraph. It clearly explains that EMR is an electronic medical record, and the means of achieving that final electronic state are many, some of which include templates, VR and traditional transcription. So, tell me again, EMR automatically means a point-and-click system?
As of 2006[update], adoption of EMRs and other health information technology, such as computer physician order entry (CPOE), has been minimal in the United States, in spite of studies showing revenue gains after implementation.[2] Fewer than 10% of American hospitals have implemented health information technology,[3] while a mere 16% of primary care physicians use EHRs.[4] The vast majority of healthcare transactions in the United States still take place on paper, a system that has remained unchanged since the 1950s. The healthcare industry spends only 2% of gross revenues on information technology, which is meager compared to other information intensive industries such as finance, which spend upwards of 10%
Pricing for EMR systems is highly dependent on each practice's unique needs. Because every medical practice has distinct requirements, systems usually need to be custom tailored. This is due to the majority of EMR systems being based on templates that are initially general in scope. In many cases, these templates can then be customized in co-operation with the vendor/developer to better fit data entry based on a medical specialty, environment or other specified needs. There are also EMR systems available that do not use templates for data entry and therefore can be easily personalized by each individual user. Alternative data entry methods include concept processing, voice recognition, and transcription.
That takes common sense - LOL - nm

lack common sense, one's I have met..nm
Must be genius, cause if I had common sense, I would have
I like your theory though and have often in truth considered it as an explanation myself.
Exactly!! Finally some common sense
here. We're professionals, not some hired hand slave. Not too much to ask, for a doctor to dictate something right the first time. No seriously, 40% of this dictation is "correction."
Just as your points are logical common sense... sm
so also is the obvious reality from past performance of MQ, that you will likely not be happy there.. and need to find another place to work... you will not change the fact that because so many are "on to them" they are hiring anyone willing to work in those positions.. the only thing you CAN change is YOUR situation. You will find these same people who irritate you.. in oher places also.. but the only way you will escape the problems you have mentioned..is to leave where they are prevalent. There are many jobs posted.
Not mentioning an account is just common sense and I would not
hire her if I was in that position and would fire her if she was already hired. If she sees nothing wrong when mentioning what accounts a company has then that is a HUGE problem. It doesn't matter if nothing negative was said, if account specifics weren't mentioned, it is just COMMON SENSE and an unwritten rule that you don't tell what accounts a certain company has.
the reason? *no common sense* quote...nm

COMMON SENSE far more important in life...nm

common sense tells me as an IC no takes are taken ouf and if ----
that is true about owing CA taxes - you would pay them the same way you handle Federal and the state you live in.
They are not to take ANYTHING out unless you are an SE or full out employee. ICs, no.
IMO, in the real world common sense is better to have than a high IQ. nm

Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh. I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist. I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about. Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests. High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive. I have two other comments: Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it. It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now. Contact American Mensa and find out. They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond....
NO - common sense does not dictate that, the STATE in which you live does!
In my state, NO I do not have to have a business license unless I have clients in my state, which I do not. So, therefore, I do not have to have a license! I have checked with my attorney, my state office, and my State Representative to be sure I was receiving the correct answers and all said the same thing!
So, my advice to anyone asking is contact your State office.
As Dr. Phil says, "Let's get back to common sense."
If you see red flags, hear bells and whistles, or alarms going off in your head..listen to it. If your already hearing the excuses as to why they aren't getting paid on time, why be one of those waiting on your check...It is kind of like seeing a train coming down the track right towards you and somehow you convince yourself you can dodge it. I'm sure others have tried before you. Excuses will never pay your bills. Listen to your gut, go with common sense and the rest works out. Just my opinion...
I've never used any particular guidlines, just common sense paired with on job experience.....nev
wondering
Its just an unwritten rule and common sense; you better home Amphion is not watching - sm
I am sure they can put 2+2 together and figure out who you are and withdrawal their offer if they so chose. It's just not good business to say who has what.
common sense dictates you read the writing on the wall. technology has made you obsolete.
and the government has seen to it that american workers are no longer necessary and allows business to outsource many middle income jobs.
Sense of humor intact! Sense of hope as well! LOL
Yep, I knew it was advice, and I appreciate ALL points of view as it gives me perspective. 8-) I've been reading the boards for a while now, and I realized that I'd get the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's okay!
However, I specifically asked for advice about how to do it rather than whether to do it, though, as I've already decided to defy the odds and give it a go. 
Enjoyed the NCLB reference, by the way!
It depends on my mood.
I like classical, instrumental, Celtic or New Age if I need to relax. Rock, pop, 80's music, techno dance, or fast country if I need to get revved up. DH got me a new stereo for my birthday, so I can put in 5 CDs at a time.
not in the mood to troll lately?
Is someone in a bad mood today?

Either, depends on the day and the mood!

My doc took me off of HRT because of the mood swings. sm
He put me on Elavil instead and the mood swings are gone. My poor husband. Put up with those mood swings for 15 years..... Needs a halo.
Here's my take (I'm not in the mood for bashing, either!)
I enjoy belonging to AAMT because they keep me informed about what is going on in the industry. I live in a rather rural area and we do have a small component chapter in our area which I also like, as it helps me stay connected with people in this profession in my particular area (networking). Our meetings are not held on Saturdays, so the other poster who said that may have experienced that, but not in my area.
I do enjoy going to the symposiums--they are not that expensive and I learn a great deal as well as network with other people in my state. That is priceless, in my opinion.
I also like being involved with a professional association, as I take my profession seriously and want to associate myself with the professional association, and AAMT is it in that regard. If there were other choices, I might feel differently.
Are they perfect? Heck, no! But, the members do elect the people who make the decisions and therefore I feel my voice does get heard. Do they always do what I want? No, but no organization would, as everyone has different opinions.
I think it is a personal choice. I've been in MT for 25+ years and a member of AAMT for the past 12. I make a very good wage, and yes, I do get compensated for my CMT, though I understand many do not. I am proud to be a member and plan to keep up my membership as long as I feel my needs are being met which is networking, continuing education, etc.
depends on what mood I'm in

Boy aren't we in a mood
I have too much time on my hands for asking for opinions, yet you are perusing the forums using your TIME?
When you see a company who posts for jobs nearly every day, you wonder anyway what the deal is and this HUGE company with a person making such disgusting statements might have wanted to know why they aren't able to hire and cover the accounts.
Question for those who think the mood here is
Is this how a conversation would go face to face? Would it degenerate into calling one another immature and letting out a great bit yawn, etc? Wouldn't we have a little more restraint when we gave our opinion. I just don't get that part of cyber-communication.
I'm not in the mood to do battle with a person
who thinks they have all the answers. Suffice it to say that obviously you don't have any insight or answers or you wouldn't have issues where you sit and call all others "fools" because they don't agree with your opinions/solutions/problems. This world is just to big and interesting with so much to learn to do battle with a smug person who thinks they know it all. Simply put, carry on in your IMAGINATION that you got all of us MQMTs and we are forever conquered by your great wealth of knowledge on the proper way to post and handle MQ problems. In other words, WHATEVER floats your boat queenie.
Mood and affect are normal
sorry to wreck your holiday mood
but i personnally like to be aware of what is going on around me. We can be thankful on this 4th of July that we are still free -- obviously, many in this world would like to change that. We all need to remain vigilant in our awareness, preparedness and voting for the politicians who will be mindful of our enemies.
ASR funny to lighten the mood...sm
Must be the bitter winters. LOL
Allergies/intolerances - sulfa and Minnesota.
Should be sulfa and Minocin. 
My sincere apologies. Was just in a goofy mood
and it struck me funny. Sorry.
I hope tomorrow's better, too! Bad mood today!

Thanks for input. There were so many to chose from..sm
I hate to pay that much money though but I really would like this account.
I chose transcription because
I always wanted to work in the healthcare field, but did not necissarily want to be a nurse or doctor. I can handle the blood and guts....that really doesn't bother me one bit. It's the vomit that I can't take. Have a major problem with it. So, in being a transcriptionist, I get to work in the medical field and learn a lot. I get to type a lot...which I love to do. I get to work from home, which is great because I have a son and I can be here when he gets home from school. I am a fairly shy/introverted person, so this job works wonderful for me because I can do it from my home and do not have to deal with people face-to-face every day. I put in many years of working retail, customer service, and waitressing. Then, I finally decided to go to school for this. I have been happy ever since.
That's why I chose not to take them at all anymore. (s/m)
That way no one's feelings get hurt. I can always buy my OWN clothing, and if I have something I no longer wear the other friend might want, I can still give that to her, instead.
I deliberately chose MT...sm
I was working as a paramedic and knew if I worked at home as an MT I could still take calls. My training was medical, from my paramedic courses. Ended up working in house first though, and at various places such as the Coroner's office. I also worked as a medical assistant and did transcription on the side. I ended up getting a small account of my own and when my daughter was born, I decided to go for completely home-based work. Ended up actually owning my own MTSO and making very good money. It was the best thing in the world to be home with my kids but after watching the field very closely, I've decided to go back to school. I've got one year left in a Bachelor's of Nursing program. I'm in school full time but since I only have to run my company to get a salary, I'm managing it. My plans are to go on to a Master's so I can be an advanced practice nurse. Looking back -- I still would have done it this way. I actually enrolled in nursing school 20 years ago but dropped out due to health reasons. I'm mostly glad I was home with my kids and had the opportunity to make a bunch of money to sock away so I had choices...like school now.
I chose it because it's about the only thing a non-
I would suck at front-office work, sales, customer service, teaching, nursing, etc. or else I would've left MT for one of those long ago.
I'd like to know why in the world she chose that name. So stupid. nm

Laid off or chose to take time off? (sm)
Be accurate, now!
I'm sure they all are great schools, but I chose CS.
I am also working right now typing acute care. I was hired before I graduated, so now I'm trying to finish the course in my spare time. Andrews and M-Tec are great schools, I am sure, and any school you choose would be a good choice. Good luck! 
I didn't like what settings I chose (sm)
using Tonks directions so I tried changing back to the original settings and had a bit of trouble regaining them. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try changing your settings using the wizard. You might create a system restore point before you make any changes so you can easily restore your old settings if need be.
You chose IC status. Your responsibility. nm

I chose HPI-SUM over At-Home Professions sm
When I trained 13 yrs ago. I looked at them both. I ordered the first packet of AHP and I didn't like the way it was presented and sent them back because I could get my money back within a certain time. I really liked the HPI-SUM program syllabus. I liked it particularly because it seemed like more work and was harder. I knew that this job could not possibly as simple it was presented with AHP and I was right.
I never have worked in house for anyone. I have been at home for 12+ years and I do quite well with accuracy, speed and scope of knowledge. Of course, there are still a lot of things I don't know and I'll learn a lot of them over time, I hope. Which brings me to the last point, that being no program is really going to prepare you for this job and even with training, there is no guarantee you'll ever be able to make a living at it. AAMT (or whatever they call themselves today) stated that something like $26K was the average yearly wage for an MT. Given that many of us do ohhh so much better than that, there have to be plenty who don't come near that figure. HPI-SUM stated in their packet that 60% of the people who complete their course will not be successful MTs and I have heard that figure about other courses too. Success for me means making a full time income for full time work at around the $25K a year mark (though I do better, that was my goal then). I personally know 5 other MTs who don't make $12K a year for full time work, that is not success when every one of them has been an MT for 5+ years.
However...there is no reason you are not part of that 40% who WILL succeed! I was.
