lots of them and very quickly IF this is what is happening. Six Sigma management tends to cut the fat and thin the herd by "survival of the fittest." In other words, expect it to be harder to achieve a high quality score, incentive bonuses, quality bonuses, etc., because they will up the ante with respect to that At least that was my experience with Edix...and no, I'm not a sloppy MT barking about sour grapes. That's just the way it was.

ready or not
If new Career Step grads are not ready to work, why are so many of them getting multiple job offers? Some get four or five offers within a month of graduation. In the real world, the marketplace will determine who is ready to work and who is not. Whether or not a given MT is prepared to work is between her and her employer. AAMT is sticking its nose into an area where it is neither needed nor wanted, and they would not be doing this if there were not profit in it for them. If they want to do something for us, let's see them do something to stop the offshoring of our medical records. If they were showing real leadership on this and other substantitve issues, our salaries would not be declining. We cannot trust the AAMT.
My son was almost 4 - He will do it when he is ready.

Are you ready? lol...sm
Dogs: Neeva and Rufis.
Cats: Kurt and Vira.
Birds: Buster and Cleo.
Rat: Precious.
I know that I am in no way ready to do this on my own. Others have said I should cut out the sm
middle man and get my own accounts. I know that I am not qualified to do that right now. I just graduated two months ago! I want to get at least 2-3 years experience under someone else before I go out looking for my own accounts. I'm not ready to be responsible for everything yet. Maybe I'm a minority, or don't have enough confidence in myself, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. 
I am ready.
I haven't done it yet, but I do have everything I need to work loaded on my laptop in case I need to evacuate for a hurricane. Just grab the laptop, foot pedal, keyboard and go.
Ready set go.
Association of United States Medical Transcriptionists (AUSMT)?
Association of Onshore Transcriptionists (AOT)?
I've got Blisters on my Fingers (IGBMF)?
Throw AHDI Out the Window (TAOW)?
Offshore Need Not Apply (ONNA)?
Fed-Up Cantankerous Kahunas (oops)?
But seriously, folks. Let's come up with a name (something with a snappy acronym), then a Yahoo User group & a domain name, & eventually we can come up with some kind of group statement. Let's see what evolves. Who knows? Maybe we can put a dent the Association for Healthcare Documentation in India (!).
Get ready for yours to
stay the same. Most of us here have experience and we should all have accuracy. If you have worked on the platform for some time now and nothing seems to change, just gonna have to suck it up and know what the issues are, that being too many people not changing according to what the specs are.
I'm getting my yacht ready now.

I'm with you, ready to retire
but have a few years to go, like 20. My production hasn't gone up 25%, has yours? If anything it has gone down. Have you thought about Spheris? I had a job offer last year at 10 cpl, should have taken it probably.
Actually, I was ready to do this same thing - (sm)
start a petition, but I was (VERY HAPPILY!) beaten to it by a faster-thinking (and probably even madder-than-I-am) MT. GOOD WORK! Lets get this puppy ROLLING! ;D
Cheers! I'm ready for one too! nm

getting ready to set-up a belkin
this weekend, ps2 ...
will let you know.
I hope someone with experience answers ...
:P
We are getting ready to upgrade.
Supposedly it is going to be "wonderful." I hope so.
You're probably not ready for this then.
If you're questioning what a line is and how much to charge, that says you haven't done your homework yet. When he asks you about FTP or encryption or HIPAA compliance, will you have to tell him you'll get back to him after you run to check this board for an answer? If you haven't prepared yourself well enough for this interview, it will show and until you're ready to answer questions on the spot, I don't know why you think you're ready to go out looking for your own accounts. You need to know what you're talking about.
Ready to quit, too...sm
I just started what I hoped was my final MT job, but now it looks like it's time to start looking again. I have over 35 years' experience and this outfit has had me on QA for a month now. 
They're nitpicky over hyphens. You use a hyphen here, but not here. Hello? These doctors can barely make a coherent sentence. They don't have a clue whether near-syncope has a hyphen or not...FYI, per the BOS bible, it does, but not according to the outfit I'm working for...nor does the MD care. He just wants his report back in a readable format. 
And there is no such word as cary or carie when you're referring to teeth...it's caries, period. I did win that battle. 
I worked for a short time for another outfit at minimal pay (marking time until better thing came along) that was nitpicky over semicolons. 
As my DH's boss once told him when he was worrying about the small stuff, "Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagons." 
So if there's an MTSO out there who's looking for a fast, accurate, punctuationally-challenged (apparently) MT who loves ER/psych, feel free to contact me. 
when the student is ready, the teacher will come

call me when the cookies are ready
and pour me some warm milk!
Means probably getting ready for a sale....sm
That's what happened at Edix when they brought in Bill Keena. The company was sold within a year.
Six Sigma is a management style and philosophy. Check Google.
boy i can relate. i'm ready to quit a
new job because of something similar. heaven forbid tech people being able to fix a "tech" problem. i know more than he does and it's getting to the point that this company isn't worth the trouble. it's a shame because i like the other people that i deal with. 
okay now I am ready to make a move
I could kick myself -the company I am working for keeps saying it will pick up and I keep staying, meanwhile I have put on hold a job I should have taken-MDI in Maryland. I have learned my lesson! I am finally ready to move on-anyone looking for an IC who can do 1300 lines a day?
okay now I am ready to make a move
What company were you working for that was not giving you enough work? I have recently made a move and am also not getting the work I thought I would get when I changed.
Robotics...it has always fascinated me since ready
Isaac Asimov's novels. I am not sure exactly what would be needed, but I would certainly start somewhere in that field. Probably lots of math, I imagine.
Since I am no longer single, however, I have to give that dream up.
The other thing I would like to do is get involved in ecology, studying the earth, etc. It is going through so many changes right now...like we are in a huge transition period while it grows and changes.
In any case, anything to get outside a little bit, I think...
How about you, Romey?
No one comes out of MT school ready to work...sm
Students will come out of the top 3 schools ready to work, but will have to work for lower line rates as apprentices. So who do you think the MTSOs will hire?
We won't hire newbies that's for sure. There's way too much training that you have to do with a brand new MT, lower line rate or not. That's the least of our worries as MT's.
Woo Hoo! I'm ready and feeling lucky! nm

Absolutely and my 2 teens are ready also. sm
I have a Senior in HS and a Freshman in HS who both are board, finished their summer reading, tired of the swim club, been to the beach for 3 weeks, and they are now vamping up for their summer camps, VB and football. They both said yesterday, they are board and their brain needs stimulation.
I on the other hand, can't wait to have my space back. I sometimes feel "my space" is invaded and don't have a spot to call my own. No matter what room in the house I go into, someone is there or follows me in, especially the kitchen.
Can't wait for school to start, but on the other hand, am not that anxious as they will be 1 more year toward being on their own and leaving the house for good - college and everything. That is scary!
Ready to scream (venting)
 I am doing a loooooonnnng psychiatric report by an ESL who must be sitting 1 mm from some machine that is beeping loudly every half second. I am able to hear every fourth word over the loud beeping and that word takes me five minutes to decipher because of his accent  Is it noon somewhere so I can have a drink?  
If you have to ask, you're not ready for that big of a change.
you sound more than ready for retirement!

I was getting ready to, but they didn't have it in my area.

I am getting ready to move and my old books are not going with me!!! nm

Is the site back and ready? (nm)

Yes, Site is back and ready.
If you experience any problem. Send us an email at webmaster@mtstars.com
Two yrs experience and ready to move on.
I'm looking to move into acute care but am having the same problem as others - little acute care exp. I've searched but most state they "require" at least 2 yrs acute care exp. I've found one company, Amphion, that has clinic and acute care so I could get my foot in the door doing clinic then move over in the future but I know nothing about them. Any ideas on other companies that have both clinic and acute care would be appreciated. I'm so ready to move on. Thanks.
Are you ready to strike (with no income)
Is anyone willing to strike when an agreement is not met (higher wages, etc)? I doubt it. Most are living paycheck to paycheck as it is.
I hate to be a pessimist, and this will be my last post on this subject, but sad to say most of us can't even get along on this board, do you really think we could come together to form a union?
There was another post about someone trying and no one showing up. I guess they had to stay home and type... Good luck though... I truly mean that..
ABSOLUTELY I'm ready to strike!
MT's would be hard to unite, but that doesn't make it impossible.
Need a Smartype ready glossary
Does anyone know where I can find an expansion list that I can upload to Smartype all at once...not one by one?
TIA
I'm ready to go back out into the world and buy
new clothes, commute, the whole enchilada, if it means a decent wage, which in turn would mean I could go back to having a life again. Working 6 1/2 days a week for a place to sleep, but nothing else, is CR@P.
My co. is disorganized, too. They keep changing their minds about style. As soon as you pick up speed and accuracy on an account, they switch you. That tactic does NO ONE any good - not the worker, not the company, and not the client.
You know where their heads are, and it's not on their shoulders.
No, they're not. Fan is getting ready to die. Disconnect it and have it replaced. nm

I'm ready to quit being an IC. I was supposed to have today off,
so I scheduled in the personal things I need to get done. Errands, baking, housework, planning a kid's birthday party, post office, bank, bills. Guess what I got up to this morning? Tons of work. That's fine. It's money, so I'll do it. However, now I'm totally overwhelmed because all this other stuff still needs to get done today.
I'm also really tired of doing all the research and record keeping without getting paid for it. When I figure out my income versus how many hours I actually spend working, not just typing, it hardly seems worth it any more. Phone calls, emails, looking things up, keeping logs, downloading, uploading, line counting, waiting for work, and all that other jazz. It's worked into a fulltime job without fulltime pay. I worked until 9:00 last night to get everything done so I could have today off. I just wish I could find a decent MT job where you do your lines, you don't have to look up a bunch of information while guessing on the spelling, and the platform was streamlined for maximum productivity. It's gotten to the point where I've been reading the Job ads again to get out of MT entirely.
So, do you like it? I"m just getting ready to switch over and I would love to hear something pos

I've had GE for 35 years, getting ready to replace with
new GE as we are updating the kitchen.
I hear you! I'm ready to pull my hair out!
I keep looking forward to that in hopes of a "normal" schedule. Plus money is a big factor - I need all I can make!
A hot meal, ready to eat is perfect and it doesn't
have to be fabulous. A meatloaf with some veggies made all together in a throwaway pan is easy to make.
I'm ready to sign! But when I cut & paste it to my browser,
nothing comes up.
Thanks for the wish...I am getting ready to post my resume in a few what should I ask for per line?
I opened the resume link here and realized I don't have a clue as to what a new MT should ask for per line...got any suggestion?
It sounds like your video card is getting ready to go out.
If you have an option on your monitor for taking the settings back to the factory default, I'd try that. If it continues, then I'm afraid there's a problem with the monitor itself and you may end up having to get a new one. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I've been there. It's frustrating, to say the least.
I voted for Kaysar...but didn't like how he was ready to clobber (SM)
Ivette once...sorta gave me the chills. I liked Kaysar the best out of the three though. It should be interesting tonight.

DD is a 1st grade teacher, and is ready to throw in the towel
already - not because of the kids, but because of the interferring parents (mothers) who cannot bear to let "little Suzie" out of the nest, cuz, you know, she is my baby, so I want to be with her as much as I can. She thinks these mothers cause more harm psychologically for the kids that anyone realizes. They lose coping skills, other kids make fun of them for being a big baby, and they lose all identity. Can't these mothers get a life away from the kid's school? She has 3 or 4 that think they know everything and are constantly interrupting her to "correct" her way of teaching. She is not a new teacher, has been teaching for over 10 years now and is rated one of the top teachers in this area.
Best to call tech support but be ready to take your brain
One person will tell you you have to have WindowsXP and don't try loading Windows XP on Windows 98. Then somebody else will tell you that you can load WindowsXP on top of your Windows 98. Good luck.
I'm with MQ and getting ready to switch over to DocQscribe. Has anyone continued using SmarType
expanding software after the switch? Thx so much
Guess you're not ready for grown up humor then.
