maybe just let them fill it in?
It's a long blank for just time ???
I think she has probably just had her fill
More than hate sounds like she has had 1 too many ESLs to listen to. Know 1 plenty, every report time after time is a little much. I csn understand the feeling, some.
Can someone fill me in?
Where is the new site/what transpired?
If you're trying to fill several
positions, why don't you list the name of your company? If you had a company you wouldn't be on this board trying to get someone to type 3 reports. Why don't you let one of your current transcriptionists type them. YA BIG FAT LIAR!
Fill us in, we are in the dark...sm

What are you talking about, I am lost and am a Country fan.


 


 


Fill in work
I occasionally do fill-in opticianry work for local eye doctors.
We do have our QA fill in names & addresses
All of our clients provide us names and addresses of referring physicians. Our QA maintains the lists, and we only ask that our MTs spell them phonetically. QA then corrects any mistakes.

As far as patient names, some doctors spell them for us and some do not. For those that don't, they get their reports back with their patient names spelled phonetically, and it's up to them to correct any mistakes.
Fill in the blank: You know you're getting old when....sm

1.  For me, when a person I used to babysit from infancy until school age has completed his internal medicine residency and is in a private medical practice.


2.  When I get up in the morning my knees and back crack so much that you can hear them at times in the next room (daughter asks "what's that cracking noise" will confirm this!)


 


But where in the world do you find someone to fill in? nm

:{


don't care for it. too many fields to fill
in because it seems like the demo's are never there and of course you don't get paid for that, then you have to wait for extra screens to come up before you can select the dr/cc/patient name/etc.  there's no way to drop the normals in directly without using the menu, the Expander is more hassel than good.  it's straight forward to use but I feel it is a slow process since you can't just start typing without filling in numerous fields. 
FILL OUT THE FASA-YOU WILL BE SUPRISED
Make sure you fill out those FASA forms and private colleges want the Profile which helps.  When my daughter was applying three years ago to college.  I told her that she would have to take out student loans.  She was looking into college at 40,000 a year.   We filled out the FASA and profile.  She is now going to a $35,000 a year college and we are only responsible for $13,000.  She is on grants and scholarships.  She still is taking out loans because she is a nursing student and her income will be greater than mine and my husband together.   My 18 year old who is looking in colleges will have to do the same.  I put braces on their teeth, paid for dancing, sports, activities, illnesses that we did not expect.  I feel we gave them everything they needed and if they want to go college bad enough they will.  My daughter has a 4.0 GPA.  She had a 3.4 in High School  We are there to support, we pay for car repairs, give her money for clothes etc.  She is also on workstudy which gives her $50.00 a week spending money.  Don't let the college tuitions scare you until you fill out those forms. 
I had to miss it last night..Please fill me in?

I know who got voted off last night, but the radio station I listen to while driving to work was talking about how "drunk" Paula was last night and how she was making really off-the-wall comments.  Boy, sounds like I really missed something!  Did any of you feel like she was on something or drinking too much?


HA!! This sure would fill her time, wouldn't it?

Have you tried given your life to God. He can fill the void. nm

probably place of business and that is for them to fill in. nm

Yes, it will get buggy like that as you fill it up with entries sm
It's time to think of buying a real expander. My recommendation is Shorthand. They have a web site where you can purchase it. It is a wonderful program, much better than the autocorrect/autotext.
A shift differencial would help fill some of

Me too! Working at home, I fill up every 2 wks.
NM
I haven't had to fill up in a couple of weeks.
I don't go anywhere too often during the summer or I ride my bike. I think it's about $2.29 for the cheap stuff.
It would be just as arbitrary to penalize QA for not being able to fill in the blank. (sm)
The assumption is that all blanks are understandable.  They are not. 
Classy my ____--you fill in the blank....
--I saw the clip of Walters announcing Jones' failure to return. That was very practiced and classy, I'll hand her that; but then she's had lots of experience and people to help her craft such an announcement.

--I also saw the King show when Jones talked about what had been going on and why she did what she did. I thought that hat was very classy as well. Her being a lawyer certainly helped her craft her statement.

--Overall, I totally believe Jones' accounting of what happened, when, where, why and who knew what and who knew it when. She was quite clear, her timeline precise.

Her reasons for handling her announcement at the time and in the way that she did also made perfect sense if you listened to her closely and carefully.

I was in her situation once--unfairly "let go" and for totally bogus reasons from a large local San Francisco, CA, foundation.

I was told that I could tell anyone at the foundation anything I liked about my departure.

I was in shock at what had just happened, left my supervisor's office, wandered into the kitchen for something to eat/drink.

A co-worker (high level staff) was there and I spoke to him that I had just been let go. We talked briefly, he offered his sympathy.

After he left the room, my supervisor swooped in, telling me that it was not a good idea to talk about it the way I did...blah, blah, blah....she could only have been in the hallway, listening at the door.

Yeah, Walters, et. al. did do what Jones said they did. And the way Walters handled everything did indeed look "classy"--with time, experience, and help, how could Walters go wrong?

Jones told the truth from start to finish on King's show and the View Crew and network couldn't/wouldn't handle it and did not want to face the fall out; and, they didn't want to lose face.

The further complicating problem was that as a public personality, Jones had additional public outlets to tell the truth.

IF Walters had: Simply kept her mouth shut, just weathered Jones' early initial announcement on air that day, deferred all questions of why Jones' contract had not been renewed to Jones' (citing privacy and confidentiality), responding to all askers with a 'no comment', and referring all explanations to Jones'she wouldn't be in the uncomfortable position she is in now. Walters would not have been so exposed, AND she would not have needed to get to Larry King in advance to cover her ____, to explain anything, and trying to look good, thereby maintaining her "classy" reputation.

Yeah, it was a business decision all right, handled badly and then it came back to bite Walters, et. al. in the butt.

Whether you like Jones or not, she chose to tell the truth and, as such, she had nothing to hide. Brava.
We DO listen to the dictation! How else would we fill in blanks?

was this university account you had to fill in demos for?

How do you fill out forms in Adobe Reader 8.
I am referring an MT to a company I work for and to get the referral bonus I have to fill out this form in Adobe Reader and E-mail it to HR.  Well, I don't know how to do that.  One friend said to copy it in Word and fill it out that way.  It won't let me do that. 
That's true. My parents refused to fill out the FAFSA
because they weren't going to help me go to college at all. The school counselor just blew me off after hearing that. They wouldn't even talk to me at all and I couldn't qualify for anything on my own without my parents filling out that stupid form. "Adult" children are considered dependents by the government for financial aid considerations until they are either 22, have been married for a year, or have children. I was 18 and a high school graduate but still couldn't afford to go to college working two part-time jobs for a total of 50 hours per week. I wasn't able to go to college until after I was married with two kids to qualify for student loans.
The actual operation you're performing is Fill Down.
I should have mentioned that before. It's a shortcut that eliminates the need to copy and paste. It's one of many and is located under the Edit menu. For example, series can be used to increase in increments, like for dates.
I prefer no templates. It is easier to tx as we go rather than jump around, fill-in and delete. nm

I don't know if Ephedra will make your UDS positive, but usually you fill out a form listing any
medications you might be taking and I always thought the purpose of that was rule out false positives. 
QA works on quota. Frankly, they don't try that hard, either, to fill in the blanks.

I have to disagree. Most hospitals have migrated to EMR & RNs are able to fill in online forms
My husband is an RN at an acute care facility and he loves his job.  He has dual majors.  One in computer science and the other in Nursing.  He decided he didn't want to sit behind a desk plinking on a computer all day and really wanted to do something with his life that would help people.  Being an RN is not just about the money, it is about caring for those in need.  Seriously, think about the reasons you would be entering the nursing field.  If it's just about money, you'll be disappointed.  However, if you are the type of person who likes caring for others, then by all means, go for it.  All the best!
Depending on sound quality, lookups, fill-ins, ESLs, that's

Fill in the blank time! Today I feel ______ (for me it's good)...sm
Good work day so far, kids will be home from school in a couple of hours and the weather is nice outside. 
Whenever one of my coworkers asks me to listen to a report and fill in the blanks or make SM

corrections, I always put my initials on the report right after hers and I expect anyone who goes into any of my reports to make a correction to do the same and that includes QA people.  Where I work, the transcription clerk will put her initials in a report even if she just had to go into the report and delete a blank line to make the report upload correctly.  She puts an asterisk by her initials to let us know that she didn't make any changes to the text, just made adjustments for uploading purposes.


I've been told at other jobs by the QA bunch that whatever software we use automatically keeps a virtual record of each person who accesses a report, but I just like knowing who else has messed with my report.  I can't tell you how many times when I worked in the office, an irate doctor has come in saying "who's LN" or "who's RB".  So if QA went into the report and changed something, I want the doctor to see their initials too.


Yeah, we have no skills or intelligence whatsoever. We just fill in blanks! Geez! A monkey can le

Is that all you do, type?  It's not all I do either.  I have to know what I'm talking about, apparently you don't because you can just leave blanks!


I missed it.
What happened? I wanted Janelle to win so bad.
I missed it!
who won?
I missed so much...
Goodness, I need to start watching it again. I have missed WAY to much. Thanks for the scoop!
Hopefully all you missed was...
carrie underwear...
must have missed it
nm
I missed that!
I taped it though--I'll have to watch that.  Elliott is so sweet. 
must have missed it....sm
and yes, they do tend to come out on Fridays...given the opportunity. overworked and underpaid??....hmmm...I don't think so....just bad attitudes. JMO (even though I don't know what it was about). :^)
For all those who missed it.....
I found this website that should have the transcript soon.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/gb.html
I think you missed something -
the patient spoke English, the doctor did not and he could not understand the patient.  Are we supposed to find an interpreter for our doctor appointments to speak the doctor's primary language?
Perhaps I missed something but...
Do we not just double space between paragraphs and anatomy headings? Why would she make more money if only getting paid per character? Maybe I'm misreading.
I think you missed it by about
20 years or more. The pay was great in the past but steadily has dropped. I have typed on electronic records for at least 5+ years and nothing has changed, at least pay except going down. To make an excellent salary I would think you would have to get your own accts, not nationals, be able to transcribe excessively fast and work long hours, might be doable. To work for most nationals you need about 2 years experience also.
You missed my point I

being a roadside idiot holding a stopandgo sign.


that is the bottomline.


I have many years of experience of transcription.


If you don't see the writing on the wall of where MTing is going - well, whoa be it for me


to explain it to you.


I'm just bowled over by the fact that after this many years


my experience is worth less than if I had never learned


how to type, learned English grammar, learned to type 100 cwpm, struggled my way through computer education on my own,


learned medical terms, drug names and values, learned foreign


dialects, learned many specialties .......that here 30 years later I


can hold a sign and make the same money.


But you stay in the field if you feel like you will come out ahead.


Since they have turned the career into a profit making machine for


a bunch of suits - the respectability of it and the career side of it


seems to me has flown out the window and the MT has become nothing


more than a part of that apparatus that can be replaced at their whim, and rather


cheaply -


LOL. I think you missed my point, too. sm
I said benefits "should" be paid to employees, not that employers were required to pay them.  That is one of the main reasons people choose to be employees, the benefits.  Hopefully, your MQ PTO has improved.  When I left them approximately 4 years ago the PTO was a measly 3 days for the whole year to include holidays, sickness, and vacation.    At least now I have 6 paid holidays plus 10 days PTO a year plus other benefits including company-paid life insurance, short and long term disability, etc. 
The point you missed is...

The OP never said that her supervisor asked MTs to work extra.  If your supervisor asks you to work extra and you do, and there is no work for the other MTs during their schedule...then this is a different story.  This would then be considered a problem with management because they are allowing others to work extra and grab another MTs lines.  If MTs are not being asked to work extra and they are anyway, then this is a problem with greedy MTs not working their schedule.  There is a big difference between the two. 


The bottom line is:  The problem starts with MTs not working their schedule.  If management does not follow through and take care of the problem, then it becomes a problem with management.


you missed the point entirely.

I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must

paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.
