Gloria, it can be done--I did it!
As a medical secretary of 10 years, I moved from Massachusetts to central Maine and found a dirty surprise waiting for me....absolutely NO work, not even as a cashier!
I scoured the paper every week looking for something, anything, and then I found an ad for a local transcription company that was actively hiring transcriptionists. I had done odd typing jobs in all the doctor's offices (multiple specialties, so that helped me), just letters and SOAP notes, but certainly not a ton of them, but I had nothing to lose, so I sent in my resume and scored an interview. They set me down at a PC and Dictaphone and gave me a typing test, and I didn't do all that bad at all. They said they were willing to train me if I was willing to sit down with an AAMT book and learn all that I could, and you bet your bippie that is just what I did! After about 2 weeks of training, the company owner handed me a little book called "Medical Abbreviations" and said "Let's get you started working at home." My jaw dropped and I said, "You mean your actually going to hire me?!" She laughed and said I was hired two weeks ago! I could've hugged her I was so happy.
My husband and I were flat broke, eating ramen noodles, and buying home heating oil a few gallons at a time down at the local gas station. We were in a sad, sad state. I have never been so grateful for a chance in my life.
Companies like that are rare, but they are out there, and if you are willing to learn, admit to mistakes, fix them and learn from them, you can do it! This sounds gay, but "I'm living proof!"
Best of luck OP!

Who hurt you so much that your post are consistently filled wth ANGER, DISDAIN, and WRATH. Do you have anything positive to say?
Give it up......Gloria
I do not believe you have the
mental stability to be dealing with such an emotionally charged issue as giving an MT a fair wage, or the public. If you cannot make a living as an MTSO do all your MTs a favor and get out of the business.
Gloria, you have had your say and everyone has heard you...now will you please go away? I for one w

Hey Gloria - you go girl!!
I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
nm
Gloria Gaynor's I WILL SURVIVE comes to mind...
Good Luck to both! Just an aside, that song was out when I was going through a separation/divorce, was my theme song!
Gloria, do not speak for me. I never said I wanted bennies, and other perks a corporate executive e
I simply want an MT job where I am fairly compensated for the work I do. I never asked for or expected the bennies and perks...just a fair wage with a good company. The only other thing I would like to hear from you is the name of your company so I can STAY AWAY FROM IT!
what Laura E. does is correct...sm
Monitors burn out every couple of years so turning off the monitor is essential......*S* Other than that, I leave the MQ computer on 24/7/365 turning the monitor off at night.
Laura, Don't Give Up!
Laura E, you feel strongly and you represent so many women in America -- but we don't understand you! Your argument on a logical level is HIGHLY ILLOGICAL, and therefore it does not hold water. Make it hold water! Come back and explain, please please please! Don't just say (in effect), Well that's what I think, so there. Not good enough and it makes your words be just so many grains of sand. Pull together a LOGICAL argument and turn your stance into something concrete, if you are able. Otherwise, your opinion -- and the opinions of millions of women just like you -- is nothing more than a that: a wispy, vacuous opinion, and you have not convinced a single person that your viewpoint is correct because it is logical. It is not.
Most definitely LAURA BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

Laura w/drunk huby
 Get a voice activated one,keep it in a central spot where he's usually starting his crap. My ex had total amnesia the next day after his drunken rants...one night, he got so vicious, he started spewing how he was going to kill me..a long slow death...my DD had the wisdom to turn the recorder on...he never touched me, but I got us OUT before he could...That tape sealed my case on domestic violence charge AND the subsequent divorce....you could have heard a pin drop in that courtroom. Again, did not touch me "that night" but it was his thought that counted, against him LOL
Hey Laura - I live in Mechanicsville -
Didn't realize there were others on this board from my neck of the woods. Maybe we should start a dinner club for MTs?
Oh Laura - sorry to hear about your daughter....sm
I am glad that you got to make this special trip and know the memories will last all of your lifetime.
I agree with above, Laura's statement
I believe Edix at one time allowed their employees to stop early if they achieved their required line counts for the day. At least that is what I was told. It depends on the company. It's kind of crazy mentality to think you're "stealing" from the company if they require you to be on for 8 hours after you've achieved maximum lines for the day only to find out after the 6th hour there is no work available at all on any accounts! Stealing?? NOT!
So funny, Laura! Me, too, I wish I was back
in the 160s to 180s in weight!!! My IQ is probably going down, while my weight takes up the #s slack!! 
Laura's must be -20 cuz she married that stupid GW
x
are you the same Laura E who did not even make 12k last year? That doesn't
sound like plenty of work. It sounds like PT and that does not mean that there is enough for FT.
Thanks Laura. I didn't seem my first open casket until
I was in my mid 20's and I just about passed out. I had never been to one. Although I respect and understand other religions and rituals, my husband is not a practicing Catholic and feels the same way that I do.
I appreciate your input. It's a tough decision.
No, Laura. That's not true. I did research the woman. I believe
even you and I talked about her. And, the person who has not yet shipped the footpedal is not Kristen Pineda. It is someone else from a completely different state. I have contacted the seller and let her know that she has 3 days to ship the pedal or I would file a police report myself as well as take legal action against her for conducting fraud on the MTStars website.
Laura Bush. Not to start an argument, LOL, I really do. nm

Laura=nice lady but seems so nebish-like..nm
I like Laura Bush, She has alot of class.
If we want to get personal about the husband situation, then I mean come on, who can forget all of Bill Clintion's antics?? Ole' Hillary stayed w' him just to further her career. To me personally, When I look at the current Bushs I can see they they like each other, even DARE I DAY IT< LOVE each other. With the Clinton's all you got was cold air from Hillary, but then again who can blame her? But she is the one who stayed......so I don't feel bad for her at all.
THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!!!!! Everyone have a wonderful day!!!!
Laura, the person who scammed the OP is not Kristen Pineda. This is a
completely different person altogether. We are dealing with the situation from this end. Thank you.

Anyone know of online production seminars for WP like Laura Bryan offers
for Word? I have only used Word before, now new company requires WP. Just feel like I'm grinding gears trying to get used to this. I would like to start with the basics. Thanks.
