Thanks, have already bookmarked it....along with a million other sites. Hopefully I will figure out what is truly helpful and what isn't and then weed out the ones that aren't.

Helpful resource link....
I came across this. Looked like something that might come in handy. Lots of things on here. Thought I would pass it along. Have a Happy New Year!
This is a great resource (see link)
I've found this resource pretty useful for rehab work. Link inside.
Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

Thanks, dumb me was expecting to see something like www....
Useful resource
Sharing this useful search engine for MTs that I came across on MT Mastery. See link below named "search engine for mts."
If that is the same resource you
then it is no longer free. They probably only offered it for free to work the bugs out of the program.
If it was not what you were looking for, then you might look around their site and see what you can find.
transcription resource
just a thought
Handy resource
A pretty handy tool to have.
Op Note CD Resource?
I have recently begun transcribing a lot of operative note. I currently use The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier as a reference. It is rather cumbersome to keep going through the book. I was wondering if anyone knows of a CD reference for surgical terms? It would be so much easier!
You are welcome. It is my best resource for any support or technical help.

Need psych testing resource
I'm looking for a website(s) that has information on various tests used in psychological evaluations. Mostly I just need the names of the tests for reference. Any info is appreciated!
good resource site?
We used to have two people type radiology, but it is going to now be put in the general report pool. I have one book from stedmans, but am kind of nervous. Do you have any good websites?
Here's another good resource for op samples
Lots of useful samples in there.
http://medicaltranscriptionwordhelp.googlepages.com/operativesamplereports
While the internet is a good resource, I
also have reference books. Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Word Book that I cannot live without. For drugs, rxlist.com and http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name are both good. Also, mt911.com has multiple resource sites for sample reports, abbreviations, drug searches, etc.
Also, if you are doing 1 specific speciality, the Stedman's book for that speciality is a good resource. For example, I do some ophthalmology and am not familiar with that, so I have the speciality for that. Sometimes it is just easier to have a book where you can pull up the specific thing you are looking for; i.e., the listing "catheter" brings up pages of catheters. THis is much easier for me than guessing at a spelling on the internet and coming up with literally hundreds of choices.
a good resource can be found on the internet
You can go to the labor sites for various states and it will give you some, if not not all, of the information you seek. If it doesn't, it can give you phone numbers to investigate further.
Snopes is a great resource for stuff like this . . sm
I'm always leary of hearing things like this, so my first stop is usually snopes.com. They list all sorts of urban myths and legends, as well as some true stuff that might surprise you. In response to this particular topic, nope, not true, false, don't think so, etc...
I simply chose the wrong link. See inside for the correct link.
See link
what link? You failed to include link
Personal page/web page resource
Paula,
Thanks a lot for sharing these great websites!
was that helpful? sm
what was the point in going off like that? She simply asked a question. It's been a long week, huh? 
Helpful QA
One of my QA people is very personable. She signs her name and adds helpful tips which have helped a lot. When I get snappy comments unsigned, I know its the other QA. Know your business. Don't overdo the punctuation. Concentrate on the medical report and its content. Nothing makes me madder than someone correcting what I know is right, especially if it is medical content that I know to be right. I've gotten QA back so picky that I didn't even want to start work on my shift because they were SOOOOO picky, example breast-feed changed to breast feed and ; where a , works as good, etc. and send examples if you know someone is gonna need them! Bottom line to me... friendly, patient and helpful.. IMO
Helpful
Just wanted to say, as a newbie, how wonderful this site is. It is really helpful and thanks to the person who gave me the tip on how to break into the entry level MT position. 
hopefully somewhat helpful
I work full time for a company in NJ, so I cannot answer as an MTSO. I live in Santa Clara, CA, which is in the South Bay and I notice ads for MTs will offer $19-$20 an hour whereas in the Sacramento area I have seen ads where they are only paying around $14.
This is VERY helpful!
This is also very interesting...Gives me a lot to think about! THANKS A MILLION!
You all have been so helpful!!
Thank you so much. I have learned a lot from all of you, and I have plenty of ideas to try out. I also got some great tips about the nickel allergy, which is wonderful as well. That one has been around for a long time.
I will be making an appointment to take him to see a dermatologist, but in the mean time, I will be trying out some of these things and see what happens.
THANKS TO YOU ALL
Very Helpful
I believe I was one of the ones you helped. Thank you very much for the general information you gave me. I really appreciate it.
Thanks to both of you. Very helpful. (nm)

Thank you all! Very helpful. It seems there are sm
downsides to being paid by line and by minute. I am hoping I do better paid by the minute, only time will tell though.
What I think would be helpful is
taking some classes in terminology. Like I said, I thought it would be a breeze. Yeh, right. What kind of work are you going to be doing, all 4s or speciality group? How many doctors will you be working for. Sometimes, and I am sure other MTs will agree on this, your English speaking doctors are about as bad as your ESL physicians. How fast do you type? Working for an agency, they can throw you (perhaps) into a group of dictators different each day, the money dwindles if you don’t know them. What kind of training will you get with the agency? I was just saying it is a lot of money to invest in and it is not that easy. A lot of the people on this chat board talk about possibly finding something else to do. I also had terminology class but then having that and actually typing the reports are a whole lot different. I consider the operative notes the easiest by the way, they are my favorite but I also have to type other things as well. Do you have any experience with listing lab reports, x-ray, medication dosages- would you be able to question and look up if you thought a dictator said 500 mg of Ativan when maybe it should be 5 that was typed. You need some knowledge about a variety of things in transcribing because I, and probably others, have to meet a strict accountability for our work - mine is 98% accuracy, not just type and make the money.
Very helpful, thank you all very much....but.....
I need very wide margins for the header, but if I change the margins for the body of the letter, it also changes the header. How can you get separate margins for the header and the body of the letter?
Thanks again!
That's helpful, thank you...sm..
I didn't know the search key would pull up the desktop search. Did you know Microsoft has a free update for their desktop search function? It's nicer than the original, way faster with more features. Not as many features as some others but it's fast and you can pull it up with one click, even though it pulls up the whole program instead of just the document.
Thanks so much! VERY helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to post these. Looks they will be very helpful as I am just beginning to do some oncology transcription. Thanks again!
Thanks so much...most helpful

I was thinking a month or more, a week or two fits my budget mudh better.

Thanks so much for responding. I am still a little nervous but will give it a try. It helps so much to know they will get my money back if the sell does not go well.
Thanks.:)
Well, that was helpful. NOT.

That's helpful to know. Thanks so much!! nm

thanks for being helpful
some people dont like to give leads to others for fear of having competition, so it is really nice of you to offer up these websites. I did a search for MT jobs and random sites will come up, and i NEVER know what is legit or not you know.
Thank you
thank you both, very helpful ;)
;)
This is very helpful...
Thank you again - I'm going to experiment with all of it. It's good to know there may be hope for me and those bills yet!! :o)
Thanks for the helpful info. sm
I've never had this problem before, so I'm uninformed. It happened last night, so I have to wait to see plastic surgeon Monday and talk to home office then as well.
Thanks.
Extremely helpful - thank you!!! nm

You are so wonderful and helpful
I originally mailed my resumes. I was instructed to do this from the course I took. When I started online job searching I ran into websites with job boards and began e-mailing. I check alot of job boards on a daily basis.
That was intelligent AND helpful. Duh!

It's also helpful for another reason
If you have more than one item, you can offer the same thing to other bidders if you like, although if you have two listings available on the auction, you can't do this.
All of this information is so helpful!
