and didn't you pay over $300 for CMT test?
I didn't have to test for my present
job. She looked at my work experience and that I was from a very large company, and took that as good enough.
Two of the best companies I've worked for didn't make me test. Makes you wonder if...sm
these MTSOs that mandate so many "tests" aren't just trying to see how many actual reports they can get transcribed for free. I could understand maybe a written test and one very in-depth transcription test, but 6 is utterly ridiculous. I would have definitely passed on that too and then told the MTSO exactly why.
didn't know it was just a bad thing to ask for help
I was justing asking for some advice. I have NOT had any complaints from my co-workers about a bad attitude, etc............... I enjoy my job, just having trouble doing it all-------any mother would know what I am talking about.
i didn't say any such thing
-- a bit over-sensitive are you? -- i SAID that criminals love them, and they do. I did not say everyone who has one is a criminal. talking about jumping to conclusions...
Didn't know about that. That's one thing sm
I haven't tried.
I didn't even KNOW there was such a thing as a -sm
real "Sit'n'Spin"... I was thinking of the more VULGAR version when I made the above post. Heh, heh...
This pay cut thing just didn’t start with VR though
The pay for transcribing has steadily come down over the years. I know that for a fact. I was making almost $60,000 a year back in the 80s, that job outsourced, took another inhouse and that pay cut cost me $20,000 less a year, from there outsourced 1 more time and now working national but the thing with me is now I am only working because I want to work, not because as in past I had to work. It makes a difference and my pay is ok with me. If this pay cut had been years ago I would have had to take on probably 3 or 4 more jobs to exist on.
I think it's a good, thorough test, myself.
I've taken it a few times, always passed. I never had a bit formal schooling, grandfathered into the profession without it. I think that if a person has not had thorough, recent exposure to acute care it could prove to be difficult. If a company needs to have people up and running in acute care without much mentoring, I think the test helps to establish that.
Not test? Just blindly believe you are as good as you say?
Every sort of job has some sort of testing requirements why would you think MT should be different?
Looking for a good lab test reference site...
.. can anyone suggest some? I'm looking for something that lists all lab tests and their normal ranges... also a description of what each test is done for would be nice, but not necessary.
TIA!
sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.
Maybe they didn't here real good.

I didn't have good luck on-line until...sm
I registered with eHarmony. I've found the guy that I believe is my soul mate and we're still taking things a day at a time but enjoying every minute of our relationship.
didn't see it but Good Morning America
supposedly has someone who did a series on work at home jobs for women and she included MT - if you go to the GMA website you can see - apparently she is the only one still considering this a viable option. You can email John Stossel at 20/20. I think (from the response I got from the people I sent it to) that most people aren't aware this is happening and even doctors have not considered the implications of HIPAA (I mean really - they said we could no longer transport tapes from an office) and identity theft. I got some responses that internet petitions are worthless - but my whole point was just making people aware of the problems - not just to save my job - but the much bigger picture. Candidates should be aware of the taxes that are lost, too.
Take it all the way to the top. I have even emailed Target hqters before. Didn't do any good
:+
It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs. It's over $90. That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT. The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country.
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB
Hope I could help
It's a good thing
Finally, the animals win one. Every time some "little darling" mangles a dog or a cat and they get bitten, scratched, it is always the "mean dog's fault". I'm glad you had your camera on for proof. I had two collies that were behind TWO locked fences and one of my neighbors called me up, screaming that my female had bitten her 2 yo toddler. I asked what her 2 yo toddler was doing running around loose outside without supervision and what he was doing on my property in the first place. I told her about the two locked gates and chain link fences, and she said he managed to stick his hand between the posts and the gates and was bitten. She thought I was going to "come apart", but instead I went on the attack. I told her she needed to watch her kids and keep them out of my property and she wouldn't have a problem. Her 2 yo was trespassing on my property and I wanted him kept off of it from now on! She backed down in a big hurry. People make me crazy!
Good thing this is my day off
I meant "way less errors," not "way more errors." LOL
no, would not be a good thing....sm
would end up making you look bad......
move forward - for every door that shuts, another one opens, I promise....*S*
Yes, it is a good thing.
My parent's church helps with it and my parents and other people in the church have brought from them. It is not a scam. It just helps with fod. There is no way you can buy that much food at the store for what Angel Food gives you for $25.00. Are you thinking of signing up?
Good for you! I think this is the right thing to do.
You've got to take care of yourself to keep making your money. If he has a problem with that, he'd be in for a rude awakening if you woke up and decided my hand hurts and I CAN'T work. I'm glad you're doing what you need to for your own pain's sake. My best to you!
Is this a good thing?
QA that is 'easy on you'?
It can be a good thing if.....
you treat it like a business - learn the law, get everything in writing, charge enough rent to cover the hidden costs. I've been landlording for several years now and I highly recommend nolo.com a site with good legal information for non-lawyers, especially a book that outlines the landlord-tenant laws in each state in layperson language - It's been very useful to me, kept me out of trouble at least once.
Or just call a realtor and let them handle it and add their fee to the rental as mentioned above.
Which is why MT can be a good thing for ADD sm
Days when it is hard to focus will take longer to reach quota. Personally, hormonal fluctuations tend to drag me down and make my day go on forever. Being able to stretch my day out longer as long as I get the work done has probably saved me from losing my job at times. Working all day long is not the ideal, but the perseverance is there to get it done anyway and keep my job. When I worked in-house, I was constantly late and had so many warnings because it was hard to stay on task, couldn't work extra hours, etc. So for me, working MT at home, while not a breeze, is the best fit for me and probably many other MTs with ADD.
Didn't see your post but apparently we agree it is a good site! lol
nm
I didn't know I need to post EVERY reason I got into MT...Good God! **rolling eyes***
I stand by my posts as well. YES I did say my children, but pardon me for not listing EVERY SINGLE REASON I got into MT. My children are always number one at the top of my priority list as they should be and that's why I mentioned them. And no, I'm having a good day, but I am astounded with the nastiness on these boards. I've never seen such unahppy people. Is this was MT does to a person?
The only thing good is Shorthand and you can get

I can't believe you thing those are good reasons.
I cannot believe you think these are valid reasons to do your dog a dis-service like that. Yes, it is your laziness that doesn't want to go have to get up and let him outside. As far as fleas, if you cannot afford to care for a dog properly, you shouldn't have one. The cheapest part about owning a pet, is the initial cost. Your expensive flea med excuse is like saying, "Gee, I am short on cash. Get the dog doesn't get to eat this week." There are expenses that go with owning a pet and that should be considered before you bring one into your home. And the digging,,, just don't leave him out for hours at a time and the digging won't be an issue. THis poor dog. I unfortuneatly can see this dog's future. Either he will end up put down like the other poster's dog or he will be placed with strangers. If he is lucky, it will be with a responsible dog ower. If he is unlucky, it will be with some one who won't take the time and he will either end up outside all the time or be passed to yet another stranger. Poor pooch.
Good post but one thing.....sm
you said you'd wait until you become financially secure before getting married so you could then could leave him and be okay $$-wise.
I left after 13 years of marriage and we pretty much had nothing....my sanity being numero uno. The stats are this....that after 5 years of divorce, women are in better shape than men financially and emotionally. That's what I've read and that's how it also happened for me. I was in better shape than him 5 years later. So, don't undercut yourself. We can make it on our own whether we have a man in our life or not!!!! It's an old wives tale from post WWII I do believe that women are not *complete* without a man and that is a total crock of s**t.....in my mind/heart/soul.
Good thing we all get to have an opinion!

I guess if there's one good thing...
the police got to the school so quickly that he was unable to carry out the *rest of his plan* thank God...those poor children suffered enough, thankfully he didn't have the chance to inflict any more harm on them...if you know what I'm talking about...I can't write it...it makes me sick to my stomach!
What is this world coming to when parents feel afraid to send their children to SCHOOL? We don't even let our 7 YO son play outside for 1 second alone, and we live in a quiet subdivision, and know all our neighbors...guess that's just it though, we THINK we KNOW them...anyway, it just breaks my heart and scares me to death...WE NEED TO BRING GOD BACK INTO THE SCHOOLS...we've *kicked* Him out...time to bring Him back...
Change is a good thing.
You’re signature gives you away—typingfool.
Some people need change. Change is good. It’s good for the soul, good for the spirit, and not to mention one’s well being. Some people need to grow and if boredom persists, this is a sign that it’s time to pursue new fields. If everyone held your poor outlook on life, there would be no dreams met, no business owners, no success stories, no hope and furthermore, very unfulfilled listless lives.
We can all compare ourselves to those who are in war, struggling in life, in humdrum jobs but this is no reason to not attempt to fulfill one’s own potential, no matter what that may be. It’s just a matter of decision, as scary as it may be, to try something different. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I am so thankful that I was not born to you, with your attitude—so stifling!
It is a very good thing for lots of the MTS
to not have lived, say in the 50s on through the early 90s because they would have been out of luck with jobs and the ability to stay home. Those 2 just did not go together. I remember the last job where I worked in house fulltime (92) they told you not to have family/friends on the hospital property to visit- not allowed on the work place at all. I love working from home but I think the choice of this job should not be #1 you want to stay at home because then like I have said before the profession comes off as nonprofessional. I do not care how MTs look but others apparently do as they post these concerns all the time- iether neighbors and/or family thinking they do not really have a job, even a post on a board stating her husband telling her all she did was sit on her a___ all day long, not being taken seriously. I think a lot of MTers hurt their own self when they post their reason for doing this was just to work from home. Just what I read on these boards.
Wow... sounds like it might be a good thing ! -sm
It also makes me wonder about talking to MY vet. She's at a large clinic near my home. As vets see more and more patients, and the procedures become more complicated, maybe that's a new job possibility for some of us. If you take the job, I hope you'll keep us posted on what it's like, etc. Good luck!
Dang Lucy's got a good idea. Now why didn't I think of that because I've been experiencing
Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..
It's called www.typingtest.com
Atleast it will give you an idea.. Sadly, I had to take it twice before I passed it LOL
Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test
Don't think that has to do with the knee. How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee? Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee.
Teenagers good to be home with - I did the same thing
 Once had an argument with my boss working in the office, because my hours were supposed to be 7-3, or 3:30. I was on salary (can you believe that) at the time, and she expected me to stay till 5 or 6. She herself used to practically live there. I told her no, I wanted to be home with my kids, and she said they weren't babies anymore and didn't need me. Well, I left everyday after that by 3:30, and believe U me, it is a very good idea to be able to monitor your teenagers, and I would do it again (God forbid I ever had teenagers again) They are all grown now.
Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Thanks. It's a local rad company, so it'd probably be a good thing.
IF I can even do it.
Good thing you work at home
Hopefully one day when you need to vent, you at not treated the way you treat others but what goes around does come around.
Good thing they're so cute or we'd really get mad at them!
Sometimes cuteness is a life-sustaining mechanism, especially for my 6 previous little fur-ballz.
You poor thing. Good luck to you.
I've been there but had to work outside the home. I had a slug of an ex who paid child support when "he had the money." I learned how to shop and ate whatever the kids left over in their dinner bowls. To this day I will not touch a Spaghetti-O. :)
First and most important is be a parent to your kids. Have fun with them, but set limits with them and be a mom and not a friend. That's what they need. And NEVER, EVER, say a bad word about their father, no matter what, even if he bad mouths you. My kids figured out what a slug their dad was on their own. They are both adults with kids of their own and I still refuse to bad mouth their father after nearly 20 years.
Thank you. There is such a thing as good business sense
and doing what is right. Those who have messed with people need to think about that and those businesses know who they are.
white bread - not a good thing to eat but...nm
