and gosh, it's been so long since I've been to an interview...I'm looking for some tips on questions to ask the interviewer.  I don't like going to an interview and NOT asking any questions.

Also, I do have the experience they are looking for, although it has been about 8-9 years since I've actually done hands-on back office work...tips on explaining this would be appreciated too!

Medical Transcriptionists

Well above 90% female with an average age of 49

Most were on-the-job trained for years prior to the development of formal transcription curricula

Majority of new entrants receiving too little education and/or training

Retiring faster than qualified transcriptionists are entering the market

The vast majority resides in the US; however, increasing quantities of entrants are from offshore including

India , Pakistan , Philippines , the Caribbean , etc.

 

i'm a stay at home mom, and would like to apply for a job. however, i don't have any contact with my previous employer/supervisor anymore. i don't know who to include in my reference that would be relevant with the job that i am applying for. please help!! i need some advice. tia.

I was thinking about applying with the service that the hospital is outsourcing to and I was wondering say I take the test and get a job offer, is acceptable for me to request that I be placed on my former employer's account and will they honor my request?

They have been handling our over flow for several years and so I'm sure that there are MTs who have been on the account a while.  So I guess I was just wondering if they would let me work on an already well established account.

I am back in the "look for another job" phase of my life which I thought had ended.  After several years, I am back in the market though and have responded to ads posted on this message board.

Do you ladies and gentlemen typically include a cover letter stating you situation and stats, equipment, etc? 

And, with regard to equipment, if we do not have what is requested but are fully willing and able to purchase it to be able to work for the job being applied for, should we state this?  It appears that jobs posted are asking for specific equipment and that is not a problem other than getting it shipped to us.  Unless they want us to hit the ground running these days.

Thank you for your time, comrades in arms.

they basically try to fit your experience with a company and you can do that yourself...

prefer OPs and have done MT work for about 16 years.  I have worked for MQ for 11 years for the Univ. of Pa. which they lost and now I am working for a small company in Michigan with just tons and tons of crap work.   I would like an IC job with OPs if possible. 

I constantly see all these job openings asking for experience.  How can I get experience, when no one will hire me without experience???

I have a friend that was a Pug breeder. Unfortunately the "Pug couple" only had one litter as the female had major problems with her first and only litter.  She still has the male and female who are almost 10 years old and in good health.

She "rescued" a "Puggle" (Pug/Beagle cross) a few months ago and that poor dog had the worst gas. STINK!  It was just awful.  She was feeding him Iams just like her older Pugs, but he would make everyone run outside.  We had him in the car one day and we were all ready to just bail.

I'll have to ask her what she did to make the Puggle stop clearing out the neighborhood.

I have a BS that isn't that marketable (at least all of my A&P, Patho, etc.. were useful for this job) and am contemplating the same thing.

I have thought about outpatient primary care nursing since I don't really want to work in an inpatient environment.  I originally wanted to get my BSN but got sidetracked and am thinking about going back through a BS to BSN program sometime in the future.

My kids are 2,3 and 7 and while I know some people can do it, I think it would be really hard to go to RN school at this point in my life. Your child is older and it might be easier for you, but it will still be tough. You have to get to clinicals early and often stick around to get more information on your pt at the end. The night before your clinical, I have heard RN students have to do tons of prep work - you have to know your pt's medical condition inside and out and have all of your nursing diagnoses and care plans set up. 

Its a lot of work but the career is very rewarding and the pay, despite all of the kvetching, is pretty darn decent. 

If it is something YOU want to do, talk to an advisor.  Get the lowdown on it.  When I was in college the first time, the RN program had an information session for prospective students that included a Q and A with a current student.  But, make sure it is your goal - I let people convince me to go pre-med and within a semester I realized there was no way I wanted to be an MD.  Had I stuck to my desires instead of what someone else wanted for me and thought was a better choice, I might have been a pretty good nurse by now.

Good luck. Lots of people do it. It is much harder than when you have no kids but people do it all of the time. 

I can't believe I didn't watch this show from the beginning.  I just really started watching it this season.  Now it's a must see show for me!
