I think it would be uncomfotable for your daughter or son (for a son even more!) when they are over the age of 14 for you to be present at their intimate exams!
Ask your children, unless you turn away your face and then you don't see anything anyways.
Give them their privacy!
They are not babies anymore!

A nice sunny room just for me in our finished lower level. Love my cocoon room.

I have never had my own room. I shared a room with my sister, went away to college sm
and had a roommate (whom I am still close to) for 4 years, moved back home and back to sharing a room with my sister while she went to a local college and then got married. In fact, after 17 years of marriage, this is the first time in my life that I have had my own dresser, not just the top two or bottom two drawers!
I could never live alone. Not for fear but for loneliness. I like my alone time but I love to have people around.
Not a present but - sm
The worst Christmas (2001) was seeing my mother in a coma on Christmas day and dying the day after. Nothing I get from now on could make me think it was worse than that.
I can help you with that, but at not at present (sm)
Please check back tomorrow. Doing system upgrade at present and cannot access information to provide you with.
And.. what's the best Christmas present

Then why does he present himself as "ghetto"
and dress like that? If he's trying to set a positive example as you imply, it's not going to happen if he's dressed like a thug while he's preaching the "good word".
Gimme a break.

She underwent the above procedures without difficulty. period. ummm period. She ummm period. She ummm
 I think its time for a break already
I did it from day one at present job, 80% ESLs, but then I'm sm
It will all depend on your experience as an MT, with ESLs and acute care more specifically, and what platform you are on.
It IS doable, but will take most moderately experienced, moderately fast MTs a bit of time to achieve. While I can and did to this from my very first day, I am NOT your benchmark, but I am here to tell you, YOU CAN DO IT with some effort.
maybe ask present employer to
cross-train you...pick up part-time job and start at a lesser rate in order to allow for training...
If this had just started with the present
administration, might write but hey, this happened how long ago now? Can we write to the people in charge then and say don't send our jobs overseas? The present one is not to blame but having said that, I fully understand where the OP is coming from. I absolutely did not go and see Slumdog Millionare (even though I heard was great) because I hear enough day in and day out of other languages and I sure do not want to pay money and hear more. I am a prejudiced person now, not against most here but like the OP, mostly India.
I didn't have to test for my present
job. She looked at my work experience and that I was from a very large company, and took that as good enough.
Forget the present. His gift will be you.

do your present laundry first and then treat yourself--sm
for a job *well done* by buying new clothes. That way you get both. just a suggestion.
I don't think the present Voice Systems will improve
I believe it is best not to name names, as others have pointed out in this message board. So, instead, I will simply post the job as listed on MTjobs.com and say that the same person is posting this job as when I was bilked. 'Nuff said.

Escription users past and present
Our clinic is converting to Escription, now after the initial training period Escription is doing OUR work..will we ever get our work back?
I would just advise to present your situation clearly w/o 'whining' (sm)
as my DH went several years back and there was a lady who worked on her farm picking crops, her husband was disabled, and she sold at market on the weekend - the judge actually bought from her - and judge refused to excuse her and said it was a 3-day trial, was her civic duty and would be over soon.. DH did QA at the time and didn't say anything after that :(
Got that right! Wish an autopsy would present itself to break the monotony. nm

NO. I'm making 0.075 cents/line at present. SM
Have 20+ years experience as an IC, mostly clinic work, which is what I like. Have been CMT since 1997. most companies will pay up to 10 cents for CMT, if you are lucky, but ONLY IF you work full time at THEIR production level which for someone like me will not work.
Keep your present job while trying out a new company; the grass may not be greener

Look, I am as tired of everything as everyone. My heart breaks for MTs who cannot buy present for t
and it breaks my heart for people not helping other people. I don't know what your point is. I just don't want to be attacked and it seems we get off the subject and take one line from a post and use it against the person.
I have given people money that came to me door saying they couldn't pay their rent when I didn't really have it, not the whole rent but what I could give. It wasn't important that I knew if they were telling the truth or not, it was important to me I could help. I took 2 cats to help a woman who was evicted from her apartment or she was going to leave them there. I already had 2 cats. I am not religious but it seems strange I was taking my trash out and commented to her about moving when she told me she had been evicted, and about the 2 cats. She was not able to get them back and now I have 4 cats. I gave her money during this time and I did not even have a car. I gave her money on several occasions and I did not put retrictions on where it went. I gave her what I could without going hungry or my cats going hungry and I know she appreciated it. My new neighbors borrowed over 100.00 from me and 2 months later I asked them when they could repay it and it made them mad. They didn't speak to me the rest of the time I lived in that apartment. So what I am saying about that is don't loan money you cannot afford to get back, I already knew that but I was going through a bad time with a company I was working for and needed it. Some people are users but I would rather believe and do, if I help someone it helps me more. The woman with the cats stayed in that apartment for 3 nights with no electricity because she had nowhere to go. The people who borrowed the money from me had a little girl and they said they needed it for a drug prescription. I could have said no I didn't have it, and no I didn't have so much money I could throw it away but even though it made them mad at me, I know that little girl got her medicine. Maybe it was all a lie, I don't really know, but in my mind she got the medicine.
I don't know why it offended you that I said don't attack me, you don't know my situation and I don't know yours. I have no family, just my pets and if someone showed up at my door I would give them what I could, I am just built that way. If I said no, I would shut the door, and then probably run down the street to find them. I have a roof over my head, doesn't mean I will in 2 months, but so many people don't. I am sorry but I really hurt over this.
GO for it girlie girl! This is your New Year's present! sm
I am happy for you! You deserve a break and here it is. I hope you love it and it works out well for you.
People cannot fight the power and corruption that is present
in he political system. These politicians are bought by special interests. Many of the people with special interests are corporations, insurance companies, etc. They have major money to contribute to run a politician's campaign. Both Democrats and Republicans take this money. So if both the politicians are in need of money to win an election and you and I can provide the money the special interests are going to be heard above and beyond the little guy with a beer in his hand who is working 8-5 and wouldn't know how to organize a revolution if he had an instruction book. Besides he is too darn tired and has to mow the grass, take the kids to the movies, etc, etc, etc.
So you got both parties taking special interest money in return for favors granted (or the funding is stopped and the party can't win) What is the American public going to do? Not vote? You only get two choices and the system is corrupt. What do you do? Once again, you are assuming the American public is intelligent and united. If you read posts or editorials anywhere you will see the American public is divided led by sound bites or blind loyalty to a political party. You aren't going to see anyone overthrow this government in this lifetime. People in power are not going to give it up to let Joe-Six-Pack run the country on his $100 day budget to campaign. It is sad but true. We have been led down a path that it is too late to turn back. While the politicians were passing these laws to allow offshoring/outsourcing, we were watching TV or busy with daily activities of living, thinking this will never affect me. And it's the same deal now.
Anybody agree on who should be president? How about Iraq war? Anybody agree on forcing the national companies to pay us more for MT? Come on. Be real. You can't unite this country on the smallest issues.
i think the whole thread is in jest at the fools who run MQ, past and present.
How many MQ CEOs does it take to give MTs a raise after 5-6 years or to award a prize of a trip to Hawaii offered months ago ? What a joke and the jokes on us - for now.
"Medical Transcription: Its Past, Present and Future"
This link was posted a few days ago. It is an excellent article written by Claudia Tessier from the Medical Records Institute. It answers your question and puts the MT profession in clear perspective.
Thank you to the original poster who posted this link.

I think it is decided, and you can kiss this account goodbye. I would present the sm
finished work, along with a bill, and when you expect payment.
Meanwhile, get real busy looking for something else to make it up.
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Rebecca, Wuthering Heights -- I really should come into the present but I
just love all of the old movies so much more than the new stuff, although some of it is okay. For current I would have to say Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and Gladiator, cause I just think Russell Crowe is a wonderful actor, although not too sure of his true personality.
The majority of pcs being sold at present are labeled as "Vista Ready." This is
your best bet. Most MT companies will not make Vista a requirement for at least a few years.
I am going to have my son present this on Thursday for his position paper in Govt class.
One way to get people, even though they're seniors in high school besides the teacher, to become aware of this situation. Because it's not just the VA, it's every record that goes overseas, and Mr. Messiah Obama, et. al., fail to understand that or address it.
Actually, I was never a nurse.
However, I was a certified lifeguard (among other things) before I got into MT. I do well enough at it that I quit my fulltime federal job to stay home with my kids. They fly around the house while I type.

I was a nurse and became an MT...
without attending a formal MT school, however, I had a mentor who was a small MTSO. She gave me the tapes (the 80s) and I muddled my way through it. But it was not office notes, it was hospital work. Big big difference. And, it took me 2 yrs to be up to snuff with all the accents, dictation styles, and vast range of hospital reports. It was by no means a "snap."
Does this look like Ask-A-Nurse? These are MTs here, and
lots of them aren't even good at that, let alone doing triage over the Internet for your son.
I have a nurse
that says "just put" before every sentence...I've considered typing "just put" LOL.
I also have another doctor that says "At the present time" every other sentence.
Oh and then there is one that likes to be cute and say 78-year-young patient
but the most annoying thing to me of all are the doctors that dictate half a report and then start over at some random spot for absolutely no reason but say everything differently so you have to retype the whole freaking report!
If they could hear the garbage we make into nice pretty finished documents they would definitely pay more! I guarantee they don't ever listen back and see what they are saying!
Oh one more...
the doc i'm typing right now leaves words out. "Attempted (to) contact Dr. SoandSo (he) could not (be) reached."
*sigh*
how old is too old to become a nurse...sm
I have been contemplating my life and was thinking about going back to school to become a nurse, but I will be 48 this year and I was wondering at what point a person is getting too old to go into nursing due to the physical strains. Just curious. 
Nurse....
In my bio class (prereq for nursing) there is a woman who is 50. I don't think you're ever too old. Another thing, not all nursing jobs are physically demanding. It just depends on where you choose work.
why not ask a nurse or two?

I got a REAL present for MT week from my part time employer. I love it!
way off topic wedding present question - is there proper etiquette on the amount a guest must (sm)
spend on the wedding present? I have known people who hardly know the bride and groom yet spend $75 to $100 on a present. Is this now the expected/correct amount to spend? I was inclined to spend $25. Am I being cheap?
Registered Nurse or registered nurse
I think I am just tired. The patient is a Registered Nurse. Should that be capitalized?
School nurse
I was really stupid about them. My child was complaining that something was in his head, and I actually took him to school nurse, she said he did not have them. By the time I actually caught on, we had a terrible infestation, and I have been obsessed with them ever since. Even going to the beauty shop, the hairdresser will pick up the same hairbrush she has used on everyone and use it on you. I am hypersensitive to them after the infestation we had. Probably not smart to treat beforehand, but gosh, we had a horrible time several years back, you could not even find that stuff (Nix) in the stores, they were sold out.
I did MT before becoming a nurse, return afterwards. sm
Hated nursing. It wasn't all that I thought it would be. I found I could make more being an MT and with a heckuva lot less stress and backbreaking labor.
First you think we're Ask-A-Nurse...
then you blame some of those who actually did try to help you. Hello? What an idiot. Truly.
With the help from a mother who is a nurse. nm

If MT got me 50k, I wouldn't need to be a nurse. lol sm
But I am about a quarter away from an AAS in HIM but am dropping and moving to nursing. I'll have to do all the science prereqs, which are the hardest, so it will still take me about 3 years too for a 4-yr degree.
CNA is not a nurse and should in no shape or
form be performing anything other than assisting patient with ADLS, doing vitals, etc. I can't believe a reputable medical facility would allow her to perform such duties without proper education/certification and this needs to be brought to the attention of management. If indeed this is true she is a major liability. If the facility accepts Medicaid/Medicare they would lose their license, not to mention possible lawsuits.
Oh and by the way, being a nurse in no way qualifies you to be and MT. SM
That was my point.
Nurse practitioner
Does anyone have a good website to find Nurse Practitioner addresses?
TIA
Stacy
Work as a nurse? Ugh, ugh, UGH! sm
You have to really be a "people person" to want to be a nurse, wipe old people's butts and clean bedpans and patient vomit. (AND have to deal with the doctors in PERSON.) I give total credit to anyone in that profession, but it's just not for me. And still, school-wise, there is a lot of remedial math, science and biology I'd have to take before I'd ever even be considered for nursing school. I guess that's the price I pay for being an English/Art major. I had MANY office jobs, plus a small business of my own, before I ever even went to night school to learn MT. I got so tired of dealing with callous, power-hungry management people, back-stabbing co-workers, reviews, meetings, politics, dress requirements, pantyhose, unmanageable hair, you-name-it. Working with words and voice-recordings was my cup of tea, and back in "The Day", we were valued (as human beings, not just extensions of machinery) by our employers. Sometimes "progress" isn't as good a thing over the long haul as it looks initially.
That is when you either call for a nurse to come in and
help explain, ask for another physician, or leave. There is no reason for a physician to be working in the U.S. and not be able to understand the citizens that he is trying to help. In that situation the manager or someone would be notified, whether I decided to stick around.
nurse anestis
Anyone know what a "nurse anestis" is? Not sure that is the correct spelling . . . thanks!
Nurse anesthesiologist is
The one that stays with the patient's once the anesthesiologist puts them under..They for the most part monitor and advise if there is a problem...
My husband had a nurse tell him
she tips her hat to his wife doing MT. She could not do it. She thought she could, but when she sat down, she gave up in about 5 minutes. She stated that she didn't know how I understood what the doctors are saying; they talk so fast. Yes, we are highly underpaid for the skill set we have as MTs. I also had a physician tell his resident students that he was mentoring that they should transcribe for about a year before they have finished medical school and they might just learn something. LOL
