That is it. I don't deal with it anymore. I usually just write down the website and go take a look. You will see how much experience, etc. you need. Good luck.
I have learned from past experience.
Never hear anything again from that same person.

Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.
:
but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
Think you need to refer this to your QA,
they are 2 words where I work.
It has nothing to do with having a spine as you refer to it..
As long as the place I work helps me pay my bills, raise my children, and treats me fairly, it doesn't matter to me. You are never going to get the entire transcription community to do that. If we were all alike and had the same opinion life would be very dull and we would all be like drones. If you CHOOSE not to work for companies that outsource, that is fine with me, as that is YOUR CHOICE. However, I am happy where I am and it gives me what I need in life. I hope that you can be a bigger person and respect other peoples choices in life. They need not all be like yours. 
What are these "loopholes" you refer to?
My DH has been in administration healthcare for over 20 years (national health care company). He says there is no "loopholes" that keep him from following the wage and hour laws, overtime is overtime, PERIOD!! Their MTs get paid overtime just like everyone else, and have no FORCED mandatory overtime.
You need to contact the wage and hour division PRONTO...something is stinky here!!!
so it's okay to refer to doctor as like a pig!!
but i suggest we might be more professional and MY post is deleted!!?? Good grief. What gives?
Yes, I agree here. You want them to refer you
You want to keep them happy within reason. I doubt it would be that much of a bother. You can write off the expense of the stickies and the travel.
The other worry I have is setting up digital for an office just because I don't want to travel and have them go with another MT because they could get cheaper rates by already being digital. You don't want that to happen.
Can you tell I'm a firm believer in tape work and loyalty?
No matter what, there are things in this profession that you do that are sort of thankless, but I think in the long run if you like the account, you're better off just cutting the stickies and attaching just a small fee each month as Patti says.
Is there a manager for QA you could refer all these

Here's a nice one I refer to
This one has a good collection of ops. See link below.
Here's another useful site I refer to
This one's come to my rescue quite a number of times.
http://medicaltranscriptionwordhelp.synthasite.com/
I'm sorry, but why would you refer to ?'s about ones puppy or what's for dinner
Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think? 
We have a gal in our office who I refer to as the 'notetaker'. She's always got some e-mai
that lists this or that infraction. No one is immune. She just isn't happy unless everyone is unhappy and I think the complaints are really just a way to elevate her own status in her own mind.
Not everyone is like our "notetaker", but I've learned when it comes to work, do your best, meet your quotas and if you can have a little fun while doing it, then life is good. Pick your battles, don't sweat the little stuff, and you'll have a whole lot less stress to deal with.

You should refer them to the testing site.
That's what I do when someone says they *would like to work at home, like you.* I had someone tell me, quote, *You just type what the doctor says, right?* I just looked at her and said, *Yeah, you're right. I just type what the doctor says.* ARRRGGGHHHH!
Refer to the Spouse Equity Act
You are entitled to coverage for 18 months...some of these responses just floor me!
You refer to ME as smug when you call sm
yourself "your fine self?" That's rich.
I'm so done with this. I'm amazed you have a job.
A lot of physicians refer to their patients
as heterosexual or having same sex partners, it is very relevant in some aspects, as in exposure to AIDS/HIV, etc.
I still refer to myself as a 'transcriber' because I hate
I don't think any of us even CARE what the real name of that buncha shysters is.
Try to refer to ref sites and books
Sites like these help.
It's not a fad. You need her doc to refer you to a therapist for her. Took my teen years to get

I don't have time to refer to reference the law details but (sm)

You'd be surprised!
An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Without having Word open to refer to, I'll see if I can help...sm
When you click on autotext to open it, it should be where you can type in a new entry. Type in the entry you want to delete, and when it is highlighted I think an option should show to delete. I hope this is right, but like I said, I don't have Word open and I may have missed a step. Hope this gets you started in the right direction anyway.
That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
We don't have to SAVE lists of mistakes to refer back to. They are readily available at any given
Believe it or not, that's the kind of stuff we see all day long on a daily basis. Your resentment for QA is shining through. Perhaps you recognize some of these errors....
Template lines usually refer to pretyped canned reports
These would include such templates like epidural steroid injections and such where you are just typing in patient demographics and the date of procedure, cataract surgeries, or whatever canned dictation the physicians have come up with so they can cut costs and not dictate. Make sure you are not always having to revise the templates constantly at no cost; otherwise, that is a good price.
Experience on top, current experience first. Education second. Leave out ALL fluff.
Recruiters don't need your life story. They need to know if you can do the job. If you want, put your current employer, then state "I have 20 years in the profession doing....." Keep it simple; keep it clean. If you want to go into more detail, do it during the interview. A HUGE red flag is to see that you've worked for 10 different companies, for months at a time. I know that someone who has worked for the same company for 2 years or more is going to have some degree of loyalty and will work through issues rather than cut and run.
Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!
LOL
Maybe try to find a good web site to refer to! Good luck NM

How is one going to get experience, when no one will hire without experience????
 I constantly see all these job openings asking for experience. How can I get experience, when no one will hire me without experience???
I am new to the boards...
and I am not too sure if I want to stay on these boards. I am afraid to say (write) something wrong and get crapped on! I think that *some* people need to grow up. You are ruining it for everyone one else that enjoys to post and read the boards!
Welcome to the boards!

I should included all other boards as well, i.e., Recipe, Equipment, Politics, etc.

If you look at the ads on various job boards they
list equipment. Some still use C-phone, some use Lanier, some use wav pedals, some require you to rerecord and there are still a few small local ones that still use tapes. Even though some companies use the internet, some you download and work off-line, others you have to be connected the whole time you are working so high-speed is a must, either cable or DSL. I you are going to buy a foot pedal I'd get a generic that would work with ExpressScribe or Start/Stop, one that is capable of working with multiple types of voice files. The ExpressScribe software is free so you just need the pedal. I haven't read your other posts so don't know if you are trying to go on your own of what, but if you are working for a company I wouldn't buy a foot pedal until you have a job where you need one. Some companies use a proprietary software and you need a specially configured foot pedal. You can always download the free ExpressSribe and use the keys to do any testing.
we don't have to be 100% on these boards...
I see improper usage of their, there, they're all the time on the boards but doesn't mean that's what the poster uses in medical reports - sometimes people just forget and type the wrong word on public boards -
Except for the word board, the admin here at this site says we are never to correct the poster's typo.....so let it go, let God, and not to worry.
One should never assume anything in this business - one of the first rules of thumb. 
MT boards
You'll have to do a Google search or maybe someone will email you. There are others, but it is against the rules of this website to direct people to them, at least on these boards.
and all the other job boards - there are may outside of two.

There are already boards where you can
do this and they can also post on the various word boards. I help on the word boards when I can, one even has at least 1 physician who frequently helps, and with a word board you get a whole lot more experience than you would working one-on-one with someone.
Have seen it on other non-MT boards too
Don't know if it is the general mindset of people in tought times; participation at another site I frequent is down significantly because of the negative and attacking posts.
:(
Do you believe everything you read here on these boards? No one knows any better
than I do whether they outsource. They do not.
All boards are up and running.

I would like to post on these boards. Can anyone help?
I am totally confused as to what section of the religion board to post on. There is nothing for general Christianity or perhaps Quaker pursuasion, etc.
I also have no idea what I am, liberal or conservative or what. I liked it better when you could have a real discussion. We exchanged ideas. I know sometimes they got out of hand, but I don't like any of these boards now. They are just plain too confusing now.
With all due respect - I go to several web boards, SMT, and SM
the AOL boards. This is the only one where I read so much about dissatisfied MTs. Oh, once in a week or so you'll hear something about VR or EMR, but mostly, the people in other places are still excited about being MTs, proud of what they do, certainly not talking about working fast food.
There's lively discussion about home stuff, hobbies, and kids, but I don't hear many people at all saying they can't make a living at this.
I wonder why that is? Serious question.
Anything that does not belong under the other boards. (NM)

boards and then GO FOR IT, whichever way...nm

lighten up - I have gotten a lot of help on these boards (sm)
We're just having a fun day. Are we allowed? I've also noticed that many of the questions that have no answers posted are the ones that have already been asked and answered ad nauseum. Check archives. People get tired of repeating the same things over and over.
