A big bacon cheeseburger with hot wings on the side. All my favorite meat groups.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing!
Too much information, thanks.

Thinking the same thing.
I could have written your post except that I have not applied yet to the accel BSN program and don't want to do perioperative nursing (I'm more in line with the poster down below who wants to work in an outpatient setting).
Good luck to you. I thought I would like working alone at home, but I miss being around people.
I have been thinking the same thing...
I was going to post one, but have hesitated. Then I was on another MT board the other night, lurking, and read that this board actually edits not only posts, but who gets to pay and browse their resumes. So, the discussion was that anyone posting their resume here should be aware that their choices are being limited as many companies are denied access for personal reasons with the board owner. So....that made me nervous and have not posted to date.
I was thinking the same thing myself, well said. NM

Yes - I was thinking the same thing (sm)
When my little brother called this afternoon, I told him that I thought it was a little strange that she sent them to a hospital without calling them first, especially in an emergency situation. I also told him that I thought the midwife should be with them unless, of course, she has another patient in labor. I probably shouldn't have said anything to him right now about it. I guess I was just a little stunned. I told him though that it sounded like they were in very good hands now and I was very relieved the baby and sis in law are being monitored now. I will update when I hear more news. I wonder how I can find out or get any information on this woman's credentials?
Sorry, but the last thing I'd be thinking about if
calling a friend/relative at whatever time of day/night saying "Hey, I am rushing my child to the emergency room - I don't have time to explain but how about you call my job".
First and foremost, my child would be the only thing of concern to my family/friends. Even getting them to call MY job in a situation like that wouldn't happen.
People need more compassion. Luckily the person I work for is very compassionate and would probably smack me up along side the head for putting work before a baby in distress.

I was thinking the same thing. I am 43 and
considering going to back to school. I want to be an OR nurse or anesthetist.
I was thinking the same thing yesterday...
Christmas money spent already, next big money tax return....should go to bills. Well, maybe some will, but....there's always some pocket money to be put away for a rainy day, he he...
I was thinking the same thing as AgingMT
I noticed the topic has been closed out but just keep us updated as to how you are doing. You said some pretty scary stuff like not wanting to be here and things like that. I also think you should seek out someone to talk to other than us because we are not able to talk to you freely and we are not qualified and might say the wrong thing. Yet we care and want to know you are okay. A lot of us are closet counselors and want the best for you. It could be that we are older or it could be we have been there before. I am 44 so you could almost be my child.
You can be picky about who you choose to counsel you, maybe an older woman would feel more comfortable.
Definitely agree with Jan and some of the other posters. You obviously have the brains to succeed but it takes a healthy mind as well. Depression can hinder anyone's success regardless of having the know how or brains to succeed. So the focus should definitely be managing the depression first. Drinking would get in the way of this even as recreational I would steer clear for now. Post on mental health or christian so maybe your post won't be deleted or replies blocked.
I'm Christian so my prayers go out to you but totally respect other faiths and belief systems.

I was thinking the same thing before reading your post!
Thanks everyone! Good thing I asked, as I was thinking of 2-3 weeks! Yikes.
Thanks again. I think I will give them one month and hopefully if they find someone sooner they will let me go on my way. (what a relief that will be too!) Thanks!
Speaking of Kenny Chesney, is anyone thinking what I am thinking? see message
When I hear the words, "annulment" and "fraud" in the same sentence, I can only think of one thing. Anybody else thinking the same thing?
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

Don't forget to ask...
What types of accounts you will have and whether you will have backups if your primary runs out of work. Do they pay for spaces and use of expansions or normals? Are hours flexible if you need it? Is there any charge for equipment? software? Is tech support available all the time? How soon do the bennies such as health insurance kick in? How often do you get paid and when can you expect your first paycheck? Do they give pay raises, incentives or anything else that can increase your income? What kind of training will you get until you are comfortable with the accounts? Are there a lot of ESLs?
Whether they answer any questions honestly or not you will find out when you get started. Probably best to run the company name on MTStars and see what you get. Good luck!

yes, that's what I always do, but don't forget
Frozen ham has a tendency to taste saltier, so when you use it, you probably won't need to add any salt.

Don't forget that before white out and all the other things, we had to use a razor blade to remove errors from ALL of the copies. I worked for a VA Hospital and everything had about 6 or 7 copies. Cut many a finger in those days, but learned how to be accurate really fast.
Forget about them and those like them and
live your life, period. I wish I could post a saying I got from Mother Theresa the other day but it does something like this:
People will hate you. Do good anyway. It was never about them, it's only about you and God. Something along those lines. And only half of these posts are nuts.
I'm sorry, but how can someone just forget...
Valentine's Day? That's like forgetting it's Christmas. It's all over the TV, in the stores, everywhere you go, there was something about Valentine's Day. I don't buy the "forgetting" thing at all...unless he lives under a rock or in a cave, he didn't forget...
Better to forget IC at 6 to 8 CPL
After you pay your taxes, it averages only 4 to 6 CPL. I would rather be an employee. Never will go IC again.
And let's not forget..............nm

It really helps if you can have someone who is just in charge of the money. They could sit at a table and concentrate on just taking in the money. You can get really distracted when buyers want to ask you about merchandise. So much fun at the end of the day adding it all up and treating yourself to a yummy lunch!
just like me to forget something..
also must pay local tax and Soc Sec tax of 15%. Yuck!

don't forget to look at
overstock.com when purchasing! I've found a couple of books there cheap, and the shipping is usually cheap, too. They do have the CD version for $42 and change right now with $1.40 shipping.
Sometimes they forget
My friend is a speech pathologist. She told me that before she met me, she never used to think of the transcriptionist. She hated dictating, but she had to do it. So she used to dictate as fast as possible just to get it over with, not thinking that someone had to figure out what she was saying. But now she makes an effort to be understood and actually acknowledges MT and will say good day and thank you.

Work is not guaranteed, no pay for downtime (or rarely), must know all specialties, be around when work is there - not necessarily what you agreed to, work over or get no work, be availabe via phone, messagers and email, oh and be an Office and Word expert cause we aren't providing any help with that...Plus, lunch is at your desk...I bet starbucks even gives you a lunch break without whining about it.
Don't forget to consider your
chair height and whether your hands are too high compared to your elbows.

Things like benefits, paid holidays, vacation and sick pay. Those all add to your per line rate as an employee, and you should be compensated appropriately to offset these things as an IC.
Forget it
You won't get a vacation unless you can find another IC or two who can fill in for you. Also, you will need to schedule around your doctors' vacations - at this point in my life, I don't want to work around the clock anymore and I wouldn't do it, but if you're up for it, you go girl.
Should be FORGET actually, sorry! nm

 my head hurts from the whinnnnnney voice and her total clueless-ness of what
an MT does.
Don't forget the so ever "critical" ....sm
omission of apostrophe's now. According to them it's no longer Alzheimer's disease but Alzheimer disease. Sounds stupid as crap and makes it look like we're a bunch of idiots to type things this way.

Don't forget the tax deductions
Pleae keep all your receipts for hearing-aids/batteries, etc. and check with your tax preparer at year's end or before. I would think this would be deductible but worth asking about.
Forget about it. Some people only come here
to criticize others because they have nothing in their real lives to feel good about. If they have to go around telling us what we do "wrong" and how perfect they are, they have some serious self esteem issues there. Nice judgmental personality types, too.
There's a big difference between an occasional alcoholic beverage and a full-blown substance abuse problem. Unfortunately, public schools teach kids that their parents are "doing drugs" if we imbibe at all. DH and I like an occasional cold Corona with lime to wash down spicy food. Now, our kid thinks we're going to be arrested or die from "doing drugs".
Life isn't black or white, all or nothing, good or bad. There are a lot of gray areas out there. Some people on the boards need to learn that they aren't perfect enough to pass judgment on the rest of us. There's only ONE person who's fit to do that.
Okay, bye! Don't forget to take your meds on the way out!
The level of anger and frustration is actually quite sad.
Oh and before I forget, I am so glad I did not
listen to you all and panic and take him to the hospital. There was no reason for it as, come to find out, angioedema is NOT lifethreatening (very rarely is it) and only when there is difficulty breathing. Talk about a bunch of panic-ridden posters!! WOW!!!
