Hmm, looking at the candidate guide I see that is contradictory.
The candidate guide states:
"Two years of transcription experience in acute care-type setting or equivalent experience in a multispecialty
environment are required to take the CMT certification examination."
What I want to know is how they check? What do they consider equivalent experience? At any rate, I think the wording a bit ambiguous. An organization that deals with languages specialists should be able to do better. JMHO.
Used to be a MENSA candidate but because I'm getting older, I'm losing it, only 140

Wish I were a candidate for LASIK. My eyes are extremely dry.
Beta-blocker the patient is a candidate for the (SOUND LIKE) cavatidall???
Why would you hesitate to type 'oriental lady?'....sm
There are a lot of 'oriental' countries that are not Asia. Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Tunesia etc.....
You can find them in Northern Africa.
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
Why would I go backwards? Simple thing is to fire the MTs whose quality is crappy. Weeded out abou
I get paid rather well, but I really should not have to do an MTs job. The point is I DON'T WANT TO TYPE!! Why would I want to be an MT and type ALLL THE TIME?
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.
(pouting)
I laughed too ...nm

I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I don't think I have ever laughed so much about posts
on this board. Craps me up more than my Walmart list.
I just had someone offer me 5.5 cpl. I laughed and said no thanks - nm

I almost laughed out loud at what he did.
This has happened to me many times before as well. And I am always disgusted. I think that I laughed to myself because in my mind I could hear the belch, nice and juicy, and know how typically disgusting this is of these guys. Uggg. I am sorry for you, and feel for you. But it actually lightened up my day to think that I am not alone in this job. Hope your dictators are better the rest of the day.
I laughed when I saw that I cannot find my way
out of my driveway, sounds exactly like me. I get lost within a 2 mile radius of my home. It is awful not to have any direction in life at all. I don’t know my east, west, north or south directions either. Do not feel alone because you arent. Thanks for the info, though!
OMG! laughed right out loud at this one sm
brand spanking new PA student dictating for the first time this week! (hoo-boy). I thought I heard her wrong when she said "uncontributory" (I didn't), but I about fell on the floor when she gave me.....wait for it......
"no ee-lik-it drug use" BWAAAAAAAHHAAAAAA. 
Thanks so much. Even laughed a little instead of feeling sorry for myself. nm

A lot of people laughed when they said there would be an internet (sm)
and people could connect worldwide. We are working, but so are the scientists to find a better way. Learning about the subject did give me some understanding of the whole thing. Do you suppose a lot of these MTs jumped on board so they could make a fortune and then retire? They knew they'd be out of a typing job.
It looks like Tessier is saying it's going to take a long time, maybe to benefit those who are still working, but it is not taking that long.
All I would say is to go with your gut. I'm glad I did. I love to type, but cannot stop the new technology. We went from VCRs to DVDs. From regular television to digital and cable. Personally, I doubt it will be that long. Good luck, whatever you do!
When that first came out, I laughed so hard I pee'd my britches!

Sure, go for 12 cpl IF you want to get laughed out the office door!

I laughed when I read your post because
one of the magazines I get each month through the mail, believe Family Circle for this month, did survey on happiness. What they found is that parents happier with their children as babies, young but lordy, lordy as they matured how the numbers went down and really went down to nearly unsatisfied levels as that child reached adulthood, down to a less than 10% if I remember correctly- sorry just let my aunt have my magazines for this month so cannot put a finger on it. Maybe someone else has the same magazine and can let us know. It is all sugar and spice as children but not so satisfying when teens and older.
I laughed so hard I was almost crying! nm

I laughed out loud for 5 minutes.
Thank you!
Is it wrong that I actually laughed out loud at that sentence???
YIKES...good luck!!!
I must say, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time
The above "Frank" conversation is a classic.. You guys have made my year with this one. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo FUNNY! You two are in the wrong line of business. Thanks for making my day. I laughed 'til my stomach hurt.
I don't know why I laughed so hard at this post! Guess I needed it.

I agree...tooo funny...first time I laughed out loud all day!
thanks!

ROTFLMAO. STOP!!! I haven't laughed this hard for a long time.
Can you imagine 10,000 MQMTs just wanting to show Frank a personal touch? He will be one tired guy.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

oil of old lady!
That's what my husband calls Oil of Olay, but what does he know. I'll be 50 this year (and proud of it) and everyone says I look great for my age.
QA Lady
So obviously you were never a newbie? You came out of MT school the "perfect" MT. I have nearly 3 years experience and there are still things I look up. One thing about MT work is that is it forever changing. Not to mention the QA that faults me for things that are considered correct according to the Book Of Style. Just because an MT is new does not imply that she cannot do the job.
Hey QA lady. You were all over the
GAB board yesterday and now you are on the MAIN board telling us once again how wonderful you are and how superior you are to the rest of us. GET OVER YOURSELF. You keep telling us how awful MTs are, so QUIT and you won't have to deal with it anymore. I would hate to have you as my QA person. I think we all have heard enough about how PERFECT YOU ARE and how worthless MTs are.
You saying that, I only wish the lady
had been here at that particular time. I was transcribing a physician who changes almost every other word, sentence, saying oh don’t put that in, change to thus and so and then says a sentence and then says delete that. I could pull my hair out when I even see his name coming in. I remember the first time I ever listened to a physician and like the person you mentioned above, knew he was speaking English and I barely knew the first word he was saying. I guess most think we sit at home just "typing" a bit and then eating chocolate chip cookies the rest of the time.
just an observation, but I don't believe that lady had PPD
I believe she was psychotic. It's hard to second guess a diagnosis, but as I remember she had been ill for some time; her problem was not really post-partum depression. Does anyone else remember the details of this?
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Wow! Your one busy lady! My hat goes off to you!nm

No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
I wonder if you have the same boss lady as me...
She is terrible. She constantly acuses me of things I am not doing and then when I call her on it, I never hear any more about it. Never an apology. I have tried to speak with her on the phone but she won't and it's always by e-mail which is so frustrating. I have been slammed so many times I can't even count any more. I just never know from day to day whether I'll have a job or not because I never know what I will be accused of next. Oh the things we put up with to make a living in this business
Ask the Fruitcake Lady. sm
Just for grins and giggles. Still LMAO.

What a nice lady you appear to be..sm
In this world of nastiness, it is refreshing to see your giving post, your willingness to help a Mom out by taking care of her child because she is not able to currently. More impressive is that you are the *mommy* but are very open-minded and have full intentions of returning said child when the Mom returns back to being Mom.
KUDOS to you!!! You will be blessed and are probably blessed today!!! What a great holiday post even though it's not holiday related!! Warmed the cockles of my heart!! 
(((hugs2u)))

Which First Lady do U admire most?
Eleanor Roosevelt for me. 
Lady Baltimore!!!!

KYMT thanks for that tip. To the lady asking SM
about the macro, when recording your macro, you use the Control F9 to make a field, but when recording the macro you have to use your right arrow button to get out of the gray highlighted field and then continue with on creating your macro. When you are executing your macro, you would use the F11 button to move from field to field. This is essentially what KYMT posted, but her tip is so much easier!
Just wondering if there is a way to somehow "program" the autotext entry so that it takes you to the first field in the report after using the enter or F3 button?
Are you the same QAdragon lady I had
because before quitting the last job my dear QA had the nerve to get her fingers moving too fast on her instant messaging and sent me a message meaning it to go to another QA person and darn if she wasn’t talking about me! That was the last straw and I quit that very second. You 2 might be the same one?
GOOD! QA LADY, YOU ARE SO RIGHT NM

lol Lady, I am not jealous! She, however, has
I still think her BA is in BS! LOL
For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
