Still here too!
Yo what up in the hood?
You tell em' Shaniqua.

I have been doing transcription in this area for the last 20 years. When working as a remote for hospitals I made 10-11 cents per line, but they tried to make us come in house, so I dropped them. I now work for an out of state small service who pays 11 cents. I don't think you will find a service in this area that pays over 8-9 at the most. Good luck to you!
I'm in fort worth!
How is the weather in Granbury?
Yes. Army MT
My husband is in the Army. This is the perfect job because when you relocate, you don't have to worry about changing jobs and starting over! 
I think it was the mayor of Fort Lauderdale that I saw on TV.
He was going through where people could go for shelter, etc, how the government was prepared. BUT, he also POINTED OUT that it is an individual's RESPONSIBILITY to PREPARE for themselves. C'mon PEOPLE, RESPONSIBILITY is an individual thing. Why does everyone expect the GOVERNMENT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM instead of PREPARING for THEMSELVES! This is probably the BIGGEST PROBLEM with America today. PEOPLE DO NOT WAHT TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. It's so much easier to expect others to do it and complain and whine when they don't get what they EXPECT. THIS IS TRULY SAD FOR AMERICA!
Fort Worth/Dallas
 I am a life long Texan, even born here, and so of course I am slightly prejudiced! I cannot imagine living anywhere else. I am 20 minutes from Dallas shopping and 10 from a new mall here. The good part is - next week the temperature high is to be in the low 70's. Also about 20 minutes from big lakes! Good luck.
I work for the Army, we do it like this....sm
The exercise was conducted at 1645 in the U Area..
Depends on what kind of hospital? Large urban hospital or small community hospital? SM
Also, is it a large teaching hospital? If so you have to consider there will be A LOT of different residents dictating, usually a lot of ESLs at teaching hospitals, and the residents rotate out and new ones rotate in every summer. So you can't expect to get the same dictators and build up your macros because the dictators change all the time.
I would say 9 cpl would be a pretty good offer for a small to medium community hospital where you will be doing the same dictators on a daily basis. But for bigger, urban or teaching hospitals I would want at least 12 to 15 cpl.
Fort Leonardwood! My uncle was stationed there!
This is fun!
He is in the Army National Guard,
last summer when he was 17 and is doing "on the job training" this summer. Yes, he has enjoyed it very much and we are so very proud of him. He is my only child and so has been hard on me, but he is doing what he wants, so that makes me happy. When he comes home in 2 weeks, he is trained and could have orders to go wherever (Iraq) and so I am not looking forward to that. I wish you and your son the best, and thank him for serving our country if he does enlist.
too late for Salvation Army. :(
Churches she ha contacted have met their quota, too.
I will do that or Goodwill or Salvation Army- sm
I tend to go to one of those 1-2 x a year, also donate to the Oncology dept. at the hospital where my daughter is treated. The clinic relies on donations for kids toys, etc. so they can play/be occupied during their doctor visits. So to those of you out there, your local hospital's pediatric depts. are a good place to donate used toys, books, movies, games, etc. in good condition.
I lived in France for 3 years. Dad was in the Army. sm
I think it would be a terrific opportunity for you to go. If you don't like it, you can always return to US. However, if you don't go, you'll regret it later in life.
I vacationed in Italy and it's wonderful.
Go! Bella Italia! Bella, bella!
Live in Fort Collins, 60 miles N of Denver, Beautiful!
You can email me and I will answer your questions. I can't speak for those who live IN Denver, but I know you need to watch out for certain neighborhoods, as you do anywhere you live. I have a sister who lives SW of Denver, in the Littleton area. She lives it. Kathy :)

Texas
I think she is thinking of the one in Austin, I believe. Don't remember when it was, but I do remember someone shooting at the students on campus, was it University of Texas?
Don't come to Texas either - UGH
Texas A&M
West Texas A&M but currently on scholarship to study in Japan for a year.
Texas weather
We haven't hit 100 yet, but i'm sure it is in the near future. Thank God I'm not in arizona!
TEXAS school
Does anybody know of a good MT school in Dallax, TX
Texas School
Stay away from the "trade" schools and business colleges - nothing but a waste of your or the governments money - I know, I worked for one. Try to find a community or junior college with an accredited program. The noncredit courses are also mostly a waste of your time and money - unless you already have some experience and are just wanting to brush up. Hope this helps.
TransTech in Texas does them. nm

lived in Texas too
I posted to you about where to look. We also lived in Dallas and they are overpriced too. You don't pay a state income tax in Florida, but there are a lot of hidden sales taxes and such. The problem with living on the water is you can't get insurance and if you find it, it's extremely high. We left Florida and went to Biloxi, Mississippi and it was about half the cost of Florida and we were 1 block from the beach. We had planned to go back but it will take a few years to be rebuilt. In the meantime, heading to TN as they do not have a state income tax, a vehicle tax, and the property taxes are much much less.
Was this company in Texas?

Pecos, Texas
is where I was born...a hot dry dusty place. Lived around Ft.Worth area growing up, then got married and raised a family around Cleburne, TX....I currently live in Arkansas, where it is beautiful and the people are more friendly. I have 20 acres in the woods, so could not be in a better place for me. I have my two dogs, three cats and together we are a pack, with me as the leader of course, ha ha. Kids have grown and left home, are both in their 20's. Gotta get back to work. Living out here is the perfect place to work from home, but I cannot just work all day in a nightgown, have to get dressed except for shoes (like to use footpedal barefooted) to get in a mindset of "going to work".
Hope this is not a doc in Texas. sm
I had a podiatry doc that did this and it was not worth doing as he only wanted to pay 3.50 per page but the margins were 0.25 on each side, 9 size font, and 0.25 top and bottom margin. Awful, awful, awful!
Is this OUR GEORGE E FROM TEXAS???? nm

Nope--I'm in Texas

Live in Texas....
I'm on balanced billing since I like to know exactly what my bill will be every month. It is $238/month year round. We have a family of 4 and keep the house at 75 all the time with all the fans running as well. My DH would like to keep it cooler, but that is cool enough for me!
MOVING TO TEXAS
Stay away from the D/FW area and Houston - too much traffic and illegals. Drugs, gangs, etc. Try to find a small town or country setting. It is HOT and the concrete of the cities just increases that heat. Also the pollution in these areas is bad so if you have any type of lung or breathing problems - stay away. However, if you do not mind sitting in traffic for an hour to get to a job 10 miles away - then you should move to a big city. If you are planning to work from home, remember that internet is not available everywhere in Texas. Personally, I wouldn't move to Texas - I would choose SC or FL - much better options.

Is it the Texas heat?
I think we may have worked for the same lady! She never had the AC on in her office except for a unit in the room with the phone equipment to keep it cool, so my husband used to say that it must be the heat frying her brain cells. If it isn't the same lady, it's a real clone. I don't work for her anymore, either!
Actually, in Texas the employer must have
if they do have such policy, they must follow it.
I checked. :)
Texas Coast
just had the CBS affiliate on here in Miami and they are saying Ike is now a Cat 1, but expected to strengthen to a Cat 3 with landfall either in TX or Mexico by Saturday morning.
Texas drivers
I live in TX and have never heard of this. Have ins through AAA, just renewed last month in fact. No mention of this. Where did you get your quote?
I had the same problem with a Texas Co. Email me
I'm just wondering who the company is and if it is the same one I worked for. I eventually got paid but they used the old "check got lost in the mail" routine.
sleet and snow in texas!
what a nice change. We went from 88 to 20 degrees, it's awesome!
She was from Texas. May be the same person. Initials BF?

Anyone see Texas Ranch House and think that
there is a similiarity in the medical transcription business? The MTs are the cowboys, the ranch owners the MTSO and the daughters like the doctors? The cowboys do all the work, the owners try to extract as much as they can from the cowboys while paying as little as they have to, and the daughters do virtually nothing but complain about the cowboys/MTs?
Add me to your list. BF in Texas ripped me off too.
Never heard back from her until we got a RESUME from her looking for work. The rip off was 3 months ago, the resume a week ago. Called the number on there, left a message, emailed her. Now the number is disconnected, the email is invalid. I am so ticked off that I feel for this !!

Texas Hill Country
I second the suggestion of moving to the Hill Country. It is beautiful! My brother lives in Canyon Lake, about 30 miles north of San Antonio. You have to like driving though, because to get anywhere you have to drive a lot. From the house my brother lived in when we visited a few years ago he had to drive 15 miles to the grocery store, and that was considered "just around the corner." He couldn't buy ice cream because it would melt on the way home!
MT jobs in Texas - Dallas or Austin
Hello All,
With my job (non MT), I have the chance to move to either Austin or Dallas. I'd be bringing my girlfriend with me but this means she'd have to leave her current MT job which works directly with a hospital. Does anyone have any pointers on who's hiring for MTs in either Austin or Dallas preferably working out of the home? She currently makes 75k a year since her employeer provides a lot of double overtime. Could this much be made in Austin or Dallas? She'd possibly look at working for an outsourcing company as well (hopefully with benefits). Any pointers on outsouring as well would be nice.
Many Thanks
Transtech medical in Texas. I found them when
I was running out of work every day. They are wonderful and very nice. Transcend is not that great.
.10 gross line. I'm in Texas, Dr. is in Florida
They're a small company in Texas. Would that be the one? nm

Lufkin Texas or to be more specific Hudson. sm
Hudson has Lufkin addresses but 2 different school districts. The schools in Hudson are awesome! Lufkin schools - hmm not so much! It is a growing area with around 40+ thousand people. Great great area for raising children.
1 hurricane in 30 years or every year. I'd take Texas :)
Just kidding with u but I have been to Florida..... Talk about illegals! woweee. Not saying all over, just where I have been. See...... generalizations help no one. If you don't live there, you do not know so please consider your response. And, yes I was actually raised in Pasadena/Houston TX area and NO WAY would I want to live there again. :)
go ahead, texas MT, tell 'em the rest
of it - how "you don't mess with Texas". LOL
