Good luck..hope you have a better experience..
than I did with them
Good luck. I hope it works for you!
I always used to wonder why so many people on ebay started listing from smoke-free home. Then I bought an antique book,and boy did I understand! Now you will definitely be asking the smoke free home question right away for anything on Ebay, right? Yuck. Again, I used to smoke for decades and had no idea how awful it smells.Smokers don't really smell it themselves! Have fun, too!!
Anytime! Hope it gets worked out. Good luck! nm
Good luck, I hope you get a nice raise! nm

Good luck, but you'll need your CMT...
The only other way possible I can think of, and someone above already mentioned it, is have another Transcriptionist train you. That's how I got into this field. However, most transcriptionists aren't in the situation to train to nor do they probably want to. If you do choose to do online courses, I would personally recommend CareerStep... just stay away from PCDI! I have two friends going through CareerStep and they both are enjoying the course.
Otherwise, this isn't a job you can just walk up to and start without any knowledge. If you want an easy job like that where you need no training, or training on the job, try a gas station or fast food restaurant. Sorry, I'm not trying to sound harsh, just truthful. You need a lot of training before working as an MT, as another poster said, it really is like a second language! You have to learn terminology, pharmaceuticals, anatomy, etc. However, I wish you the best of luck. If you *really* want to become an MT, then you can do it!
Good luck to ya! Hope 2008 is the year of the transcriptionist !

well oldtime, I'll bet that you have good work ethics. But, people like you are far and few in
6 to 8 MTs only a couple actually work out. That is an absolute shame, but it's the truth. How do I know this? Because I surveyed several services asking the very same question to each and this is what the averages were. Of course, someone here will whine about how many services I surveyed, were they friend, etc., but I can say with absolute certainty that I was completely fair in my end figures.
I hope either Paris or Elliott go home tonight
I think it will come down between Taylor and Chris. Ultimately, I hope Chris wins it - I LOVE HIM!
YES! I'll be at Borders tonight along with my Starbucks!

We wanted to drop a telephone line... couldn't get a human being on the phone... couldn't get a reply to internet... couldn't get anybody to just drop the wretched phone. Kept getting billed. Finally did get somebody, got a service number, but kept getting billed even after that. Hours, and I mean hours were spent on hold, on the phone, getting shifted around. I wish you a whole lotta luck dealing with AT&T.
dinner tonight? I'm having fried chicken and macaroni & cheese. I'll make sure it's a whi

Okay, I'll bite and respond but I hope it isn't over your head
Here is what I did. I've had ST for years. I got the updated Stedman's ST. I don't know if you have the comuter skills to do this and this is why I am concerned you still think it's over your head or I'm not trying to help.
All the words in ST are also in the spellcheck. If you use ST, the words on put on your document from Smartype are spelled correctly AUTOMATICALLY. The Stedman's ST was overhauled in 2004 and has all the medications and surgical terms up until then. Now, if you want those words in your own spellcheck without buying their spellcheck, you can add the ST words into your dictionary in two ways.
The first is as you type and spell check at the end of each report.
The second is to convert the ST program into a text file (please go to productivity board for help doing this if you don't know how). Once it is in a text document, run your spellcheck on the entire document and add all the words at one time to your own spellcheck. This may take 2 full days of doing nothing else as the text file is huge. Also, you would need to take out any abbreviated forms first (anything where xxx=xxxxxxxx) so you don't add abbreviated words to your spellcheck. That takes another day's work.
Now, to update from 2004 to today, go to prescribing reference, register and copy all the new medications from the last 2 years onto a blank document, run spellcheck and add those to your spellcheck.
Now go to the Stedman's web site and sign up for the 30-day free trial and letter by letter copy their surgical word list onto a blank document. Run spellcheck to add those words to your spellcheck.
So now ask yourself, if it takes me 5 days to get a spellcheck I didn't have to pay for, how much income did I lose, how much time not getting a job did I lose and was it worth saving a few bucks?
Your choice. I've been around the block a time or two and know that trying to cut corners on how you earn your money isn't smart in this business.
Whats for din din tonight? Need some good recipes!!!!
I usually have lots of ideas but starting to run out . Need something different for a change.
what's up for dinner tonight? Any good ideas?

Based on the posts below, there must not be anything good on TV tonight. -nm
:P
If I stay up and get my work done tonight, then I can take
an extra day off tomorrow. It's going to be warm and sunny all day. Then again, I'm exhausted and bleary eyed. I feel like my behind is molded firmly to the chair.
BUT I could sleep in and have breakfast in bed served by hubby. Take a long bath. Putter in the garden. Read a book on my lounge chair on the deck. Have a picnic at the park. Take a nap. What to do?
I really wish you good health and good luck!
I know that what you are doing is a major undertaking. Just remember that this is what you want and that you CAN do it! It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but once you have accomplished it, you will truly know what you are capable of. I think you are very brave. Please know that all of us are pulling for you and are here to help you if you need it. Go to the hospital if you are feeling at all unsure or unstable. Don't give up because the reward will be great. Please let us know how you are doing.
Pulling for you!

Good luck!
I used to be on MedRite with MQ-- loved it and it was SO easy-- then they switched to DocQScribe. I haven't been able to make my line counts any more like I used to. I work much longer and much harder and wish MedRite was back. The other night, I had to a split job-- the lovely doctor batched three preop H & Ps. I got the first two OK, then the last one never came to me. I had to call the office, girl there said I "needed to call the techs"-- which I did. I was on "ignore" for 35 minutes (I timed it) before a real person answered the phone-- only to be told that he couldn't do anything and I had to call the office. Another call to the office-- the girl said she got a "system error" and still couldn't give it back to me. Now if that would have been MedRite, I could have just gone back to the job myself and retrieved it and had it finished and over with. But I guess that's PROGRESS .
Good luck
I have been in many hurricaines, living on the east coast, but nothing like Katrina. Good luck to you.
I just sent it. Good luck!
Good luck!
I wish you luck because having a baby and getting to stay at home with it is very rewarding.
In my opinion, having the experience of working at a hospital is definitely in your best interest. If I were you, you could go to the local job seeker's board here or go to MTjobs.com and apply.
You will do fine!
Best of luck to you and the baby!

We have a lot of drama in my family also, so I totally feel for you there. Ironically, the holidays seemed to be the only time everyone was nice to each other when we were younger. Now, we all live so far apart we are lucky to get together once a year. We are all so different!
Good luck with 10 cpl...sm
In the last three years going through the hiring process twice I have never seen more than 8 cpl with five years experience. I wish 10 cpl, but you just don't see it. If you are acute care you may get more, but I do clinic work.
Good luck. sm
Wal Mart knows what it is doing. They are very generous with donations to local communities and the local governments eat it right up.
As I posted above, our local Wal Mart, which was obviously thriving, just had to move across town to open one of those obscene Super Wal Marts and built it directly behind Kmart and a large supermarket. Kmart and the supermarket are hanging in there, but I don't really see it lasting much longer.
I used to go to the old Wal Mart for office supplies, but I'll pay the extra buck or two now.
Just the way the store layout goes ought to tell you something. If you want to go in and grab some food and you need dog food, cat food or shampoo too, you need to walk all the way to the other end of the enormous place, passing all the "bargains" in between.
Like I said, they know what they're doing. The sad part is that the majority of the general public actually want a Wal Mart.
Good thing is that when our Super Wally World first opened there were major traffic jams and no parking spaces, but even during the holidays the hub bub had died down considerably and you could get in and out of there in a jiffy.
Okay, I admit I went there at Christmas. It was the only place in the state that had any Q20's left.
Thanks! Good luck with yours too!
See a pain management specialist if you can. They are right up there with God in my book! Again, good luck Laurie. I have to take my meds and get to bed. Tomorrow is another day.... Nice chatting with you. How is the work in Seattle?
Good luck
I have no real advice as I have the same problem. You would think our hands would get hot as it seems they are busy. It must be something about the rest of our arm staying still.
I had DeQuervains about 10 years ago. and occasionally get tendinitis in my thumb when I am sewing a lot. I have had hip joint achiness (maybe bursitis? who knows) from time to time since 1990. Doing MT 35-40 hrs per week is probably not the best idea for me in light of all of this. I'm fairly new to it and think this will be a temporary career for me. I thought sedentary work would be easy on my body - wrong! I think my body needs variety. I'm only 35 and between the tendon/synovial/joint problems and the Raynauds, I feel much older than 35 if I don't take care of myself physically. Right now as a matter of fact, my right wrist is starting to ache on the ulnar side and I have logged only 27 hours so far this week. Time for some Aleve.
Hope your hand feels better soon.
Good luck to you too!
To finishing up your BSN!
good luck to you!!
That sounds great, good luck to you! That has been one concern of mine too for MT'ing solely as a career, the uncertainties of the futuring of MT'ing. The different possibilites of nursing are very appealing. I have thought about becoming a NP eventually too, as well as what I mentioned earlier, doing some operating room nursing or possibly nursing research, I really like all the different growth opportunites and possibilites of nursing. Email me too anytime!
Good Luck to You too!
Not sure - maybe. Good luck with that. nm
