I just checked it out and it looked like (sm)

In Reply to: MT w/disabilities...it's a legit site - Nanna23

a "return to work" site to get people off disability and working.


They want you to sign up with a state worker to help you with vocational rehabilitation and get you back to work?  That's what I read.  And also they want you to work 30 hours a week with the telephone jobs.  That would be almost full-time, persons on permanent disability are not allowed to work that much.

Did you check and see what's checked or not checked in Preferences. Maybe something got messed up
s
Well, I looked & looked but did not find it. Maybe tomorrow!
`
It was $89 the last I checked, but...
you can pick them up at a much better price on eBay.  :)
I checked this but....sm
I couldn't find the medication any cheaper than the one local pharmacy that I'll be getting it from. Buying in 1-3 month supply didn't cut the cost more than 75 cents for the entire 3 month period, so basically not worth the hassle of multi-month purchasing.
Have you checked into
your local telephone company? I have my DSL service through my phone company and I only pay $20.00 a month for mine.
You should have this checked out!! sm
My uncle and his wife were living in a mobile home that had some water damage from a hurricaine. This causes mold to be inside the walls. She was sick for months with respiratory symptoms and cough - they finally found out about the mold problem. By then she had some sort of infection in her lungs and ended up on oxygen and eventually died. Please get this checked out! She and her family had to make the decision to turn off her respirator (she was conscious the whole time, just could not breathe on her own.) It was terribly sad.
Just checked on this
Spouse is on disability and wanted to go back to work. They told him he can work 9 months out of 5 years if he makes under 640. a month. If he makes over 640. a month working, then benefits stop sooner. There is information on their website.
thanks -I checked with my
local govt office yesterday and they said I needed a vendor's license.  Maybe I should just do a little more checking.
I just checked it out myself.
There is always someone out there trying to be funny. NOT. I reported that one too.
Thanks, I checked
and Comcast doesn't seem to have any numbers local to her.
I checked there
It completely disappeared. Unfortunately, I had the disk for the spellchecker when I worked for my first company and I don't have it any more. The tech said he'd put something different in my computer (I forgot what he called it). He has no idea what could have happened to it either. Thanks anyway.
Just checked again, and I'm sure
I guess it's kind of strange that there would be different variations. Maybe it depends on if it was pre-installed on a computer when you bought it or if it's a purchased version, or I'm sure there might be other things that could change the way different things look. I did go back and check again just now, and after the last comment, and I am sure that under the 'view' tab, if I click on 'outline', I have empty white squares.
Who knows? At any rate, at least the OP was able to use everyone's suggestions to find and the problem on their end.
I don't think he looked
like a drug addict. It is just a look. I loved his singing and cannot get that song "Trees" out of my head. He did not look too disappointed when he did not get selected, perhaps cuz he knew he is creating his own success on his own.
I have looked.
If you're offended, don't read it. It's great that your job is going so well. Mine isn't. They overhired yet again. We're all either out of work or bouncing from one account to another. Why should I lose my house and have my kids go without Christmas because their management is too ignorant to properly staff? I would be making more money at Burger King because I'm not even getting minimum wage now. Don't even tell me it's because I'm not a good MT. I got 100% on my last QA, I do ESLs, I do acute and clinic. Ah, but that's what it's like around here. Any time someone is down, people kick them down further by blaming the victim of bad management. I am worth at least 3x minimum wage and then some, but how am I supposed to quit my job 10 days before Christmas?
We looked into it
I am at a small company and we looked into the Fusion Voice, but they wanted something like $18,000 to start us off.  For a small company, no way!  They wanted us to start off with everything new.  We already were using DVI, but they wouldn't or didn't want to, just license the software for us to use on the DVI system.  I also tried to find people that had it, but it does not seem to be a popular system as compared to others.  Why I don't know.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I just looked under the bed....not there! nm

I looked into it a little bit...(sm)
And while I think it is probably legit, they are mostly surveys that either get your name into some type of sweepstakes, or you would have to do an awful lot of them to make any money. I could be wrong, so if anyone else out there is making decent money off these, please correct me...


Yes, I looked at those :)
I am going to apply to TRS and Webmedx tonight, as well as put my resume up on the board. I have a friend at those places and she recommended them to me. TY!!
Just looked...
...at their website...sounds very interesting!  What has your experience been with them?  How much do they charge you for advances?
I looked over it
mainly I was wondering if there were any other programs that could do it (for cheaper :O))

I reckon I'll have to save my pennies! :)
I have looked into this, but . .

In my part of the country: 


The training is 2 years.  You must pass with 95% accuracy these tests:   225 wpm 2-voice testimony, 200 wpm jury charge and 180 wpm literary.  Must do 40 hours of actual writing time during internship and submit 40 pages of transcript and a written narrative to get your degree. 


Also, you must invest in your own stenography equipment, $2,000+ (could go quite a bit higher depending on equipment).


Then you must do 2 years with a legal group. 


Then you can apply for a courthouse job after that (that's how my courthouse in a decently large city does it).


Then after you do 2 years of courthouse experience, the closed captioning company will take your application for consideration of hiring and "transitioning."  


Closed capitioning for live capitioning (news, sports, etc.) I am pretty sure those people can work at home. 


But if you want to do movies, etc., that is done in house.  At least in my neck of the woods this is how they do it and what I was told by someone at the company over the phone. 


I doubt that you can go straight into closed captioning from school--I am pretty sure that they want you to have pretty much courtroom experience and be pretty well versed with the steno machine. 


If you can make it, it seems like a pretty lucrative career.  I looked into it many years ago and went into med transcription instead.  Could kick myself now. 


Have had a couple friends who were court reporters, the machine seems it would take quite a while to master with any efficiency.  You know, it reminds me of the alpha-hand I took many many years ago.  But again, you would have to practice, practice, practice, and really enjoy what you are working towards. 


I just interviewed last week with a court reporting school and then with the local college to check out their court reporting course.  The court reporting school said as long as you get up to the 225 per minute speed, you can finish a little early, about 18 months. But not so with my local college, you must do the entire 2 years and classes only start once a year. 


Interestingly, I was told there is an 80% drop-out rate.  It is pretty tough going. 


I changed my mind about going this route, wasn't interested in the courthouse work, wanted to go straight to closed capitioning, but it sounds as though that is not possible.  I don't have 6 years to spend for school and experience.  


Then I have been reading on the internet that they are starting to get rid of the court reporters in a couple states and replacement them with the audio/video recorders that the courthouses already have in place.  So that doesn't sound to good to me.  Not sure how accurate that method would be for record keeping, but we all know with offshoring has done to the quality/accuracy of medical reports. 


Still thinking of what I should do instead now.   


Good luck to you.  Again, this is in my neck of the woods, could be different where you are.   


I looked into doing this myself - sm
I have decided againist it for a number of reasons.  First, I would be repeating a lot of subjects I already took for MT 10 years ago.  Second, the pay around where I live is about HALF of what I currently make as an MT.  Third, and the real decider for me, is that after I complete MA school I would be qualified as an MT, which is exactly what I am trying to get away from - argh!!  Nah, this is not for me. 
I checked the archives and there isn't much on TRS.
TIA
Get your magnesium checked
I used to grind my teeth and nothing helped. When I had a physical, a wonderful physician mentioned that a couple of my symptoms (including bruxism) sounded like a magnesium deficiency. After taking a supplement a couple of weeks, the grinding stopped and has never returned.
Checked out your website and it looks like
But the Red Cross has actually done it, and that makes all the difference.
Have you checked with the school he goes to?
I know that some of the colleges my daughter has applied to offer health insurance, although she will be going full-time. I'm not sure if he would qualify, but its worth a look!
Have you checked the Job Board
If you go under Careers, then Job Bank, there is a company from Canada needing MTs.  I don't remember the name, but the ad is not very old (within the past week).    
Maybe have your thyroid checked? sm
A malfunctioning thyroid can cause those symptoms, I think. I used to work with a gal who was always freezing and slept alot and doc said her TSH was almost zip. He put her on Synthroid and she felt a lot better.
If OP had checked the archives on any of these
companies she would have found all the info needed.  I've posted in minute detail many times about SS when asked, so the information is there. 
Have you checked out Flylady.net?

Thanks, I checked the strength
and dosing, and you are correct.
I checked it out recently (sm)
If I weren't already in my senior year of college and on a different path, I'd definitely check it out. The average income was something like 45K (salary.com).

I'd not worry about competition. MT is considered hard for newbies to break into, but we did that, didn't we? Where there's a will, there's a way.

I'd definitely consider it if I were you. Frankly, getting out of the house sounds really nice to me.
You haven't checked around much then.
Spheris' top accounts pay 10.2 cpl base plus incentive and differential for acute care work.

My current national employer pays me 10 cpl base plus incentive and differential for acute care work.

That's 2 that I can personally vouch for.
I checked out the link and...sm
It does not even contain anything in regards to the message I posted, therefore I do not believe it has been found to be just an urban legend or flat out lie. However, I did state in my original post that I did not know if it was true, just passing along information I received...this link does not disprove what I posted, sorry!
I just checked out both of these sites and
there is no rsp.com and the other said the site was under construction. I have heard that VA jobs are the jobs to have, though. Good luck!!
Can both be checked at the same time? That's what
x
He needs to be checked out by a doctor.
Allergies can devlop to things one has eaten for years. This is a warning sign that something is not right. Please do not ignore it!!
Checked for a gas leak?

I just checked this out, Hand-Eze about twice as sm
expensive. About $20.00 for a pair of Hand-Eze and $11.99 for a pair of Thergonomic Hand-Aids. The only difference I've found is the color and the name.
I checked with the manager

and she said it made my report bold!  Yikes!  This board has helped me so much though.  There are so many knowledgeable MTs who are willing to help and give advice.  I only wish I had had this when I first started many years ago!


Nice to know another ER MT who is also technically challenged! 


Never heard of this so checked it out....Wow! Thanks!...nm
nm
Already checked half.com and they don't have any at all, e-bay only had
edition one cheap, edition 2 more expensive than any other place I've seen. 
O'm'Gawd! Just checked it out and that would
defenitely take care of ALL my problems. Leg swelling, shoulder pain.

What a change tho, I'd have to practice (a long while) before working with one.

any info/input anyone can add - please do!

TIA
Do you have dss files checked under
xx
get checked at doctor to know for sure
I'd definitely recommend he go to the doctor and get checked. Everyone is different but it's best to have a check up. See if there is a clinic in your area where you can pay what you can afford. Not to frighten you but night sweats are a common symptom of hepatitis C. I think this should be checked. better safe than sorry. and I think it depends on how he sweats. is he drenching the sheets or just clammy, etc.
Where I work we are checked for
punctuation and poster below is correct, there is no comma between year-old and white female.
just checked on line about this and --sm
It SAYS it has a version of Word 2000, but still some files from excel and access programs from MS office cannot be opened or read with the Suite. They DO have a converter download in order to open some of those files.

I would still be very cautious about the program. but that's just my opinion. I have not really heard anything *good* about it.
Check to see if SRI box is checked.
I think there are about 15 or so file types you can check
Hugs to you! I looked everywhere.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never looked at that way, but maybe that's just why it works for me.

HAH!! I need some sleep - I looked right over it..
