aneurysm... love shorthand - just type anu and there it is...(NM)
xx
Love it. Been using PCShorthand since 1999. Can't type without it. :) nm
I love 'em too but type everything else but and Progress notes (sm)
DOUBLE YUCK.
Oh and don't you love the "WOW, you work from home?? HEY! I can type - hook me up!" sm
That burns my hiney more than anything else. Working from home is NOT a piece of cake. I can relate to those who think since we work from home we can just get up anytime. I don't know how many times I have tried to explain that if I were working in a "traditional" office, that they wouldn't just walk in, call, etc. etc. but I don't think anybody will ever really get that our time is money, literally.

inexpensive produce
Out here in CA, there is a Mexican supermarket, Vallarata (not sure if spelling is accurate but it is close)..Anyway, they are all over Southern CA. The produce is so inexpensive, Im amazed. Ten pounds of potatoes for $1.00, three pounds of tomatoes for $1.00, five pounds of onions for $1.00, on and on. Also lots of other stuff in the store is inexpensive. Their produce is so fresh. If you live in the Southern CA area, check out this store. I go in there and walk out with bags of produce and breads, etc., for about $10.00. I even have seen two Indian doctors I used to work for at a nearby hospital, LOL, they were buying produce too.
Really inexpensive would be an HP Deskjet.
You can buy online or get one on sale at Staples or OfficeMax for under $90.
One of my docs just went digital and it was very inexpensive.
He bought an Olympus WS110 digital recorder that just plugs into his computer to download the dictation. You can use digital signatures, send everything back and forth using e-mail without having to have an FTP site. You can also password protect documents in Word. His digital handheld was less than $75.00 and the sound quality is awesome. I use GearPlayer software with a computer foot pedal to play his files, type them in Word. I hope this helps.
Okay, these sound weird, but inexpensive and delicious!!!
I rememember having these as a kid when money was tight and I make them still for my family once in a while because we love them! All you need: Regular white bread. Ketchup (yes I know!). Thin sliced Swiss cheese. Garlic powder, oregano. To make: Very Lightly toast bread. Spread with thin layer of ketchup. Sprinkle on garlic powder and oregano (to your taste). Place 1-2 slices of Swiss cheese on top. Bake in toaster oven/or regular oven on low heat just until cheese begins to melt. They are really delicious and kids love them and have fun making them!
NOTE: Regarding the sticky above about inexpensive banner ads
I thought that some of you who sell art, crafts, or other items like candles, Avon, scrapbooking, etc. might like to jump on this opportunity. I had thought it would be an affordable opportunity for you to make some extra money with Christmas coming up. However, so far no one appears to be interested. Therefore, if I don't have at least 10 people interested by Nov. 20, I will scrap the idea.
What is a good inexpensive small home printer.

I ordered a clamp-on one, inexpensive, from Miles Kimball or one of those places.

Inexpensive Line Counter - http://www.mpword.com/mptools.htm - $43.00 - nm

Good anatomy book is "Gray's Anatomy" (Running Press), soft cover, and inexpensive
Lots of inexpensive decorations at Big Lots. Had a party last year.

Beware of ink replacement costs. The more inexpensive the printer, the more the ink costs.

don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.
Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....
"He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better." C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm
immediately following the slash and have it expand. For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark? TIA
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.
Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
LOL. I love it. I also love the song sm
I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. Miss the Happy Goodmans!
Repeat after me: I love my job, I love my job. :) nm

You can love a job and still love being home! sm
I got into medical transcription for many reasons. Yes, one was that I wanted to be home with my children, another was that I wanted to be in the medical field, and yet another was this just fits me. Medical terminology and grammar are two things that have always come easily to me. So, this fits. I can work early, early mornings and late nights when they are asleep. Also during afternoon naps. Yeah, doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for myself, but THAT is a sacrifice I am willing to make, leaving my kids for someone else to raise/care for all day wasn't.
I do not love money but I love what it can buy
for me. I work 4 days a week now and was not bringing home what I wanted every 2 weeks, for some reason that is at least 1,000.00. I just decided to turn up the speed and put my mind to doing at least 3000 lines a day and figured by that should get what I want in the pay line. Worked well for me. I tell people if you want to talk with me call before I go to work, do not let outside influences bother me during my hours. Other than a bathroom break, glass of water, here for the straight 8.
I love Google and I love MTs
Okay, who in their right mind would not only discuss but have passionate opinions about hyphens and apostrophes? I love it!
Anyway, in googling grammar rules I found numerous references that two days' time would not but hyphenated but when used as a modifier like two-day history, it would be.
I remember telling an OB nurse friend of mine about fretting over 38 weeks pregnancy and whether the hyphen belonged in there and she just laughed and said she thinks she would get the point either way. Well harumph!
Right above where you type (SM)
There is a "T" with a colored block. You can highlight the text you want to color, click on that block, and then click on the color you want to make it. :)
I hope your kitty will be around for more years to come. I know 19 is very old for a kitty. :( It's hard to think about losing one of our "babies."
Take care,
Chickadee
TV on while you type?
Do you keep the television on while you type? I think I would get alot more done if I would stop watching TV and stop surfing the web!
If you don't know what type you have,
you probably don't have an FTP server. You would have to know that to set it up and configure it.
FTP stands for file transfer protocol, which just means that it's a way to upload and download files from a server using the Internet. If you'd like free FTP software for a potential job, you can download CoreFTP for free from Download.com at the following link.

how would you type this?
How would you type "section 8 housing"? Would it be Section 8 housing, Section -8 housing, Section-8 Housing or Section 8 Housing?
TIA
Tabatha in Charleston, SC
you type what?
Ummmmmmm, okay! LOL!
you never type don't or can't but only do not and cannot etc...lol
If all you have to do is type....
and they do all the rest (if you are subcontracting through a service), after the 25% take, they are paying you 9.75 cents per line and that is better than most national companies. Plus, hopefully, you do not have to learn 100 or more dictators! If this is the case, go for it!
USA TYPE
Does anyone have any info on USA TYPE? Thanks
USA TYPE
Has anyone heard back from USA type after they have tested for them? thanks
usa type
I think she must have gotten a big response to the job post and hopefully is just sorting things out.
usa type
How long after you took the test were you called?
usa type
that's interesting . . . sheri told me herself last January that she was selling her medtrans business and wouldn't be hiring any more. . . . .

it doesnt matter if it is someone you know. you still have a job to do while adhering to patient confidentiality.
