Evidently the site is brand new

In Reply to: I looked around the USMLSU site but didn't see much...nm - TechSupport
Yeah, not a ton of information yet - I searched on this forum and found interesting info when what I guess are founding members were gathering information and getting started. It appears they just got the website up in Jan 09 and I also read a post that they said it was 2 years (the group/website) in the making. I think it's worth keeping an eye on, since many have voiced dissatisfaction with AAMT/AHDI and some have voiced hope for a new MT group to form. Now we just have to see who they are and what their next step is. In the meantime, there are still others of us who want to put our heads together. :-)

evidently you have no clarity about all....nm
How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

Evidently you can't read. We have contacted
employee problems to be public fodder. They don't respond to questions. They
don't return phone calls. When they do give answers they are nonsensical, non-answers.
Go back and read. See how many of us here are saying we have been in touch
with the mighty Frank et al. And it is not your place to tell anybody to "file it or shut it".
Get out of "our" business if you are not affected.
I swear I could hug you right now. Evidently my expander
left past the letter D and I was trying to replace because I have been using it for forever!! Thank you so, so much!!!!!!!
that poster evidently appears to....sm
appears to have multiple problems.....once a man hits you, it's never the only time #1. I have never been hit or cheated on. However, my self-esteem is my #1 priority in my life for the past 15+ years, and I intend keeping it that way.
Evidently Admin. has the pudding.

She didn't. She was mocking you. Evidently you missed that. nm

Evidently someone is satisfied. They have workers and are still in business. Don't YOU

evidently they moved ur post to the classified

Wow. Evidently this company ignores the JCHO's recommendations
At my job you would GET FIRED for not adhering to the dangerous abbrevation rules and changing q.d. to daily. I guess it depends on whether a company adheres to the joint commission on hospital policies or not. I know when I applied to a company I transcribed mL instead of cc and was told I made a major error in my test. I was following the AAMT guidelines and it cost me a job. It is a problem that is no standardization in the rules. I wish they would get together and decide on one way of doing things.
It was a graduation trip with the high school class. There were chaperones but evidently sm
she went out on her own, but for you the blame the parents and victims dosen't make sense. Go back to your rocking chair and rock on.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
Not REALLY a brand name but please SM
This is a mouthwash specially compounded by a pharmacy - I think it originated at Duke University. I usually capitalize Magic because it's not really generic and not really a brand name. JMO
No, not a brand name.

They are brand new.

I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
I think 100 may be a lot for brand new newbies. nm

Maybe it is just the particular model/brand
I have had I believe three Fantoms now (first one so heavy so bought second one years later, then ran over big screw and broke the bar on the bottom of the second one). I have the HEPA filters and have never had to do anything with them - not even change them as mine have a button that is suppose to pop up to tell you when it needs to be replaced. I have probably owned these over the past 10 years or more.
You are right, emptying the cannister can be a little messy - I do what you do and go outside, use a plastic grocery bag to empty it in (or better yet have husband do it) as I, too, have severe allergies.
If I had to choose though, I would still go bagless as I hated changing and buying the bags and once they got about half full you didn't get the suction like you do with an empty bag/cannister.
I am not familiar with the type you have where you have to clean the filter. Ugh.
Look below regarding the Noisebuster brand!
They may work for you too. Good luck!
My brand is SoftFlex, but if you use
a straight keyboard, there is a heated keyboard you could get. Or put a heating pad in your lap. http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?productID=10313&sk=MX51419
Goldtouch is brand name. see msg.
www.goldtouch.com
I always get mine on eBay. They aren't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for and they are great, in my opinion.
What brand of LCD monitor to buy? sm
I am really troubled by eye strain ... got new computer glasses from eye doc but still not happy ... a number of people have said I should swap my CRT monitor out for a flat screen LCD. I'm game to do it, but have been reading reviews until I'm brain-dead! Thought maybe you folks here might share what brand of LCD you are using, and if you are happy with it for word processing. I hear some are better for text than others, and I don't want to shell out the bucks without looking into it. TIA!
Brand is Saitek....
I am on my third one and I love it. Have yet to find another keyboard with a touch like this one. It is not silent - it clicks, which is what I really like about it. Nothing at all like a laptop keyboard which make my fingers dyslexic. Bought a MS keyboard, but it sits in the corner as I type much faster with my Saitek, worn off letters and all. The fact that the letter disappear is my only complaint. The light up feature is nice, but in my opinion not bright enough. Gotta say though, it is pretty cool 'cause you can change the colors to purple, red or blue.
I have one for sale still that is brand new...
I bought mine from Dictran in May but have never used it as I ended up taking another job that doesn't use this. I'm asking $85 if you are interested. You can also E-mail me.
I got a brand new computer
custom built by a small shop here in town with XP instead of Vista. Don't count out a small business being able to help you! Cheaper than a Dell, too...
HP is the LAST brand I would recommend!! sm
I have had an HP desktop, which gave me occasional problems, but nothing big. i got an HP laptop last year, and it has been one headache after another. First the wireless connection died, I have had to do a major system restore, I have had to send it in to HP for service, and it still doesn't work right. OTOH, DH bought a Gateway laptop this year that is pretty much the same as mine as far as specs, and he hasn't had a bit of trouble with his. I would recommend either a Gateway or a Toshiba.
You say you're brand new at this
Unfortunately, what you think is "the worst" may very well be the best. Well not actually the best, but probably the norm. Give it some time to adjust. Are you new in general, or just new to at-home work?
Generic vs Brand drugs
I have these in my Shorthand program and they are typed correctly - upper or lower case. No matter how I type them they wind up correct. If the word is at the beginning of a sentence, Shorthand capitalizes it there, which would be correct.
KCl is the generic, Kay Ciel name brand
Offsite MTs have no way of knowing if physcian is using name brand or not unless he specifies. In most cases a service will defer to the generic to be as accurate as possible.
Magic mouthwash? Is that a brand name?
NM
Went there for paint. Brand new store. SM
I asked for specific color and the kid behind the counter starting mixing it. It seemed to be taking a long time, Home Depot takes second, all because he had an old fashioned paint machine where you had to manually put in the colors, not computerized like Home Depot. So why didn't I go to Home Depot? Good question.
i love clickys, where, what brand?
they are hard to find
I feed Innova too, the Evo brand
I would love to feed BARF and have tried in the past, but it confused me, read 3 books on it, but I was always afraid I wasn't using enough of the right ingredients and being a vegitarian the meat handling was a lot for me to deal with. I also subscribe to the Whole Dog Journal, great magazine. Would love to have a sheltie in the future. I have an American Eskimo right now who I love dearly and 3 cats, feed all of them Evo with fresh chicken nightly. Glad others here are aware of the terrible ingredients of commercial companion animal food. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Did you know you can get brand new on eBay?

brand new blade every single....nm
I adore my Dyson. Will never buy another brand. sm
It runs circles around any other vacuum I've ever used (and I feel like I've tried them all).
That's it. Thanks! Not a big name brand person but I do know the Chanel name. Just
couldn't think of what the logo could be. It's CC for Coco Chanel I'm guessing? Thanks!
What brand of personal computer do U have?
I'm looking to buy a computer (non-work) and I wuz wondering what everyone else has and recommends. I'm considering a Dell...
I have Abacus SE, brand new with disk. s/m
I paid $40 for it about two months ago. It is very user friendly and prints out invoices. I'll sell it for half price plus shipping if you are interested.
Brand of computer not that important.
If you are using other than a USB connection with your foot pedal you'll probably need an adapter. You'll need an external keyboard and may need an adapter to convert it from PS/2 to USB depending on the computer and what keyboard you have. You need to have a wireless/ethernet (which is pretty standard these days). You should also have a dial-up modem just in case. You need 512 RAM and a good sound card.
I have worked on a laptop for 6 years. I also travel a lot. I've had 3 different brands and brand doesn't really matter. Being able to get an internet connection is the difficult part, although with technology advances it isn't as difficult as it used to be.
SoftFlex is my brand of glove.
Putting a heating pad on your lap is another idea, though it heats your arms before your hands. If you sit near a window, a cold draft can cross your desk and dump right onto your hands, so winterizing windows or moving your desk away can help that.
DH enjoys the fact I have cold hands. He claims that every time I touch him I say, "You're warm!" and then I hold his hand or scratch his back because he's so delightfully warm. So he benefits from my little problem. :op
brand does not matter --- look inside
Basically, speed is everything. The faster your motherboard can process any commands from the keyboard and/or any programs you are running, how fast your hard drive turns so that the information your ROM/RAM is looking for can find it, and the amount of RAM you have that is not being used could possibly make the difference between achieving your line rate comfortably and not achieving them. If you work on the internet, the speed of your internet plays a factor, but only if your computer is capable of downloading and storing at the faster speed.
I have an MT I am mentoring who was using one of my laptops. We live in an area where we can get 8 MB of download. She was achieving her daily line counts 3 out of 5 days. She decided to buy a laptop and return mine. The laptop she now has only has 512 MB RAM, 2.6 Hz motherboard, and 540 RPM hard drive. She has had it for over a month, and has not yet had a day where she has made line counts. She is very frustrated.
Sometimes people who cannot make line counts for some of the companies where they work directly through the internet (VPN), it is not because of stipping the lines and/or ability of the MT, it has everything to do with the speech of the computer, the internet, and the VPN they are attached to.
What is the best brand of medical referecnes?
Stedman's, Dorland's, etc....
but this one is brand new, just bought today
And I tried restarting the computer and now the whole background is PINK. Not my color today!
Yes, if they're brand names...
Unisom is a brand name and would be capitalized. Generic drug names are not capitalized, unless your account specifics or boss say otherwise.
If you buy it brand new it will come with Windows Vista
Better make sure all your programs are compatible.
You can go to Best Buy and get one of their e-machines (Best Buy brand). They will custom-build it for you and it won't cost as much as "name brands." I used one of theirs for quite a while and I was very satisfied with it.
You might even be able to get them to load XP on it if you have the full version (or you could buy a copy). I've heard Vista is still pretty glitchy. I plan to wait at least another year or more before I get Vista, to give them a chance to work out some of the problems.
Good luck!
I like an expensive Koss brand I get at
Wal-Mart. They fit around the back of your head, have a big "muff" (don't know what you call them) and don't squeeze so tight you sweat. I think they are are $9.99. They only last me about a year though as one of the wires seems to break and you don't get sound in both ears. I've had several pair of them and really like them other than having to replacement them every year or so.
If boss said I want U to use brand X keyboard,

Brand new drug book
I have always used the electronic drug references. The company I get them from has now combined everything into 1 icon and it takes forever to get anything to come up. It is easier to use Google for references than to mess with this anymore. I find myself using my old references just to save time and if it is not there, then I go to the "brand new drug reference" It is never up to date anyhow, so back to the net I go. And no, I don't think their requirement is reasonable. They want your brains and experience with no cash outlay on their end?
There is also E-machine, brand of computer, but sm
I have one sitting here in my office that says on it "NEVER OBSOLETE," but it so is. C-phone seems more likely, if it is transcription related..
What brand? Does it have software you need to install?
Does it have special keys you need to program? Wireless? You may not have done a complete setup.
