How I job-searched
Last fall, after nearly 28 years with a local office (and 36 years of experience in all) I found myself having to look for a new job when my boss closed down his practice. I searched local jobs (nothing) and online MT job boards (mainly the jobs board here at MT Stars). I applied for, I think, 31 different jobs all told. My biggest problem was that half the companies wouldn't even allow me to test because, despite 36 years of experience, it was entirely clinical, and I couldn't even get arrested in acute care.

The last day of my job hunt, I went through the "companies" section of another board (MT Chat, as it happened) and looked up every company that got good reviews. If they had a means of applying online, I did it. (Companies that either got out-and-out bad reviews, or for which the only response was a curt "I sent you a private message," I ignored.)

I sent out 14 applications, tests and/or resumes that day. As it happened, the very LAST company I applied with (and I took their test at the end of a very long day, so I was TIRED) just happened to have a suitable opening, and I was hired the very next day. They weren't even advertising; I had applied "blind" via the "careers" section of their website.

And after some of the horror stories I've read on this board and others, I consider myself very, very lucky. Every single promise made by this company has been fulfilled, including the promise to "up-train" me into acute care.

So hang in there, and keep trying. You might want to try my method of applying "blind" to companies that people are happy working for. It takes some research and time; but it's well worth it, because the stakes are so high.

Avatars can be searched on sm
yahoo, but to fit on this site as a profile ID they must be only 100 x 100 or no more than 12 kb as hayseed says. Go on www.yahoo.com, and then search avatar for message board or message forum. I still have not figured out how to crop a true pic of myself down to 100 x 100, but I will eventually. The rest, hayseed has in her post. You avatar will post as long as you fill in Profile ID when posting.

Tough situation. Have you searched the ads and

applied with the companies who have been advertising ER accounts? I know I just saw 1 this past month or so. I do believe there is a good place for you; it'll just take digging and time. I would absolutely refuse to do so many different unless in the same field. Right now I have probably 15 different docs but all in the same field so it is not bad.

I have no idea how anyone makes 50K+ unless they are tied to the computer day and night....not my choice or my life.

Good luck and I hope you find some sort of resolution to this.

I knew I saw this a few pages ago and searched for you.
Here's a link

Just searched and yuck is right! How digusting. nm

I searched by patient name today as I needed
to find a medication that the patient was on. So I searched patient name and pulled up the H&P for the visit to check what medications had been listed on admission to help me figure it out. Great feature.

I had head if you were connected to a VPN your computer could be searched without your knowledge ??

Have you searched the board for posts on this company recently?

Thanks Darlene. I searched hi and lo all day and couldn't find a thing. nm

I've searched and not all Dell laptops have the parallel port.
So I just wanted to check to see more specifics from those who have. Thanks.

Yep, google has it goin on... I really like the google earth...
Have you tried Google earth? You can type in any address, street, city, state, country, etc. and it will zoom in and show the area and then you can hit the + button and zoom right in and see the exact house, building, etc. that you are looking for.

Mainly Google; I google the known words in the phrase (sm)
That's my most frequent tactic if I don't find the word in my word books. I'll play with leaving certain words out and adding them in, in various combinations, to try to get a hit that has a word which sounds like my blank. If I get a hit, I'll Google WITH that word, and see what hits I get, and what their source is (i.e.,checking the sources out for reliability). When I say 5 sites or searches, I mean I don't often try more than 5 different combinations without a serious hit. If I get a hit, then I will spend a little more time checking that out before I give up.

If it's a drug name, I use RxList, or more frequently the Drugs.com website. Since they redid RxList, I haven't found one that has quite as good a wildcard search, but Drugs.com works okay most of the time.

If it's a place name (like when they give names of outlying outreach clinics and etc.) I'll use Mapquest and look up the city my hospital is in, then "pan out" and look at the outlying towns.

Hope that's what you're looking for. I do have bookmarks, but I find that even the ones I think I'll visit again, I waste more time doing that than with an intelligent google search. An example is the time I was looking for "banana bag." The only place I managed to find it with a degree of reliability was on a nurses' message board. I've found quite a bit sometimes on the various specialty message boards out there, but I think the quickest way to locate that is through a search engine rather than bookmarking each individual site and trying to figure out which ones to search for a particular term.

Thank you, Google God. My google icon is

If the OP had done a google, she would have...
SEEN the answer to her question. People need to learn how to fish for themselves. Giving quick answers doesn't teach them a thing, and it certainly doesn't help them in the long run. I'm not trying to berate you for offering an answer, so please don't be offended. It is just that learning/knowing how to effectively research is a VERY important part of being an efficient and good MT.

google.com

Tia,

use www.google.com as a search engine (the best) type in exactly what you are looking for and see what you get- if you don't find exactly what you are looking for- keep searching but slightly change the search phrase.

I did google them and they are
still around $600. That is out of my price range right now. Maybe someday...

google map

yep, a totally new addiction. I entered my nephews addy and just realized he is only 3.5 miles from the White House! No wonder I kept seeing the Washington Monument every time we got on that nightmare highway system

Go look at your favorite amusement park like Cedar Point in Ohio...you can actually see the roller coasters in 3D!

Google? If Google, just go to google.com
and download their toolbar. They usually have several options! Happy Googling. If its goggling, I can't help you!

Google

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Could anyone explain the Google page to me? I mean the "Google" header with the cat and mouse. I usually enjoy their little embellishments for the different holidays, but I can't figure out what this is supposed to be.

I had to Google your
phrase, as I was not familiar with it. Now that I know, all I have to say is...'I resemble that remark'...

That is a Google ad.

You are probably trying Google..

I have been using Google Suggest to narrow down search results.

i like Lycos.com

Does anyone know of a site like Google that transcrptionists can use for researching. I have always used Google, but lately it seems to be getting slower and slower, plus they have a Pop-Up status on that is driving me crazy and can't get rid of.

TIA

Google
Google "radiology terminology" and you will get some sites.

I've had the book Stedman's Radiology and Oncolocy Words for over a decade and it's my bible. There are newer editions. When in doubt in the middle of a report, I Google the word/phrase/drug I'm looking for if it isn't in Stedman's.

Good luck!

I found my current job with a small MTSO by a Google search for "medical transcription" followed by my state.

I went on google and put in--
complaint form sample and it came up with all kinds of things. some of them you pay for, others you don't. you just have to read and find what is right for you. good luck!

I use Google and mine seems fine.

Google.
I typed in Lanier LX-219-1 with VTI and got lots of hits. You should be able to find something.

Google it.

Have you tried to Google this?
I always check Google before posting questions like this on the board. I just checked it before posting this answer and there are lots of hits. Try looking at some of them and you may find the answer you're seeking here. Good luck.

did you google? NM

I think that's ok....also from google
Vibration sense was tested with a 128-Hz tuning fork. .... were left-right flipped to correspond to the other patients with left-sided anesthesia. ...

Google

I also Google the name...just type in the doctors name, and then the state that they are in, and it usually brings up their address. I don't know if anyone posted this one or not, but here is the link to one that I use also...

Google
If you don't know what a word means, a simple Google search will usually answer your question without making you look ignorant.

google it.

No, but Google has something...
like that. word document, spreadsheet. I think it's a great idea. It would be great to save ydocuments online, etc. I hope someone here will have tried it.

Google ads

The ads at the top are Google ads. They are used as revenue to help keep this site going. The site doesn't have any control over the content, however. Google has a spider mechanism that reads what is talked about on the site and it tailors the ads accordingly.

I had the same thing happen with a shout box I used on a free invision board. We would be having lovely conversations and then the ads would change to things that had words that we had been using or talking about. It's a little creepy.

Google Ads
Yes, this what they say Contextual Google Ads without any control of content by MTStars. I can bear these Ads for such a nice FREE board.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contextual_advertising

Put her name in the Google box at
top and have it search MT Stars. Plenty of info.

you need to google it
and do research to see what it is.. looks like a Spyware or trojan or such.

Google MT
I've been using PogoFrog.com for quite a few months. It's designed for MDs and other allied health personnel. Don't know if any of you have tried it, but I really like it.

P. S. Google it! :) nm
......

Many places, google them
Ebay is probably the cheapest, that is where I got mine 8 years ago at $600, I am sure they have come down some since then.
