background check, which will take from 2 weeks to a month to get back. I understand red tape as well as the next person, but is this really necessary? They are asked for people to help load trucks and pack and sort supplies right now, but only from people who are already in "the system." I guess I'll go another route and go to one of the local churches and volunteer, without the red tape.

Convince to go locally
Anyone have any good answers to this question:
Why should I (physician) let you to do my dictation(local person) VS hiring a National Company to do? Any help would be appreciated. Trying to prove to Dr to choose me instead of the leech-like Nationals that are only out for themselves and taking advantage of this profession that once was valued before they came along and started slave labor.
Convince to go locally
Are you a physician looking for someone to do your trascription? If I were you, I would go locally if you want quality.
Work locally so it's different
I work for a nephrology office and I'm assigned to five doctor's. I do their work in the 8 hours that I have to put in each day. If the doctors (the ones I work for) all have the day off (and it's happened), then I don't have to work at all. That's my favorite part. LOL.
Been offered a job locally....sm
the pay is 0.06/line and includes all characters, spaces etc. Says that this amounts to about 0.09/line in the end ??
I've done all 3 x10 + PT employee locally

Unless you are working locally, where you live
has nothing to do with what you make. National MTSOs have their own pay scales, everyone is different.
Volunteer
It may be more dignified to retire from MT workforce and take up editing or transcribing as a 'volunteer' stating we would simply do it for free.
To accept a paycheck for a very low paying job may seem insulting to the profession itself, the skills it demands, the stress it endures, the tenure and experience it comes with. Unfortunately, it also gives out the wrong message about the profession conveying a simplicity that it does not bear and understating the practice it takes to excel.

Sounds like an account I work on locally
can ya try to focus on ONE thing. I know I would NEVER go to this doctor. He's not sure if he did a colonoscopy or an endoscopy??? Scary.
Volunteer at the Astrodome
You can pick up after people who are making a mess and not cleaning up after themselves, and maybe you could hand them their food, since they don't seem to be able to get it for themselves. I'm sure they'd love to have you. I know, blast me, go ahead, but I am so sick of seeing these people being waited on, on TV. I know they have been through a terrible, terrible thing, but come on people, it's time they started picking up after themselves and helping each other. If that's what you consider "helping", then get on with it. It's like doing too much for your kids when they are small, they never learn to do anything for themselves.
We're MTs, we volunteer every day.

I bought a Dell because I got a better deal than buying locally.
I got the computer, Windows XP, WordPerfect, other software, a photo printer and a digital camera shipped to my door for $398. However, I worked as a computer technician for several years, so I know I can add components, fix it, or upgrade as needed. I don't like the fact that Dell offshores so many jobs, because they totally forced technical pay rates down, laid off thousands of American workers, and forced computer prices down. However, I figured they'd be losing money on this deal if I just bought their basic system on sale with nothing added. Some guy from India called wanting to sell me an extended warranty and service plan. I told him NO because I can do all of that myself, as well as working any job at their company. I didn't want to buy locally because most of the local computer stores are staffed by idiots. There's a high rate of bankruptcy and computer stores going out of business here, then they won't honor their warranties.
I am planning to volunteer today.

How many of you do volunteer work? I am considering volunteering..sm
to help in an outreach store where donated items are dispensed to those in need and while I really want to be of service, I keep dragging my feet and putting off making that call. I don't know if it is just because I am afraid to step out of my comfort zone or what, but so far all I have done is think about it and don't get any further. I am so blessed and really feel the need to give back whatever I can, but I still have not made that call. What is wrong with me?
Yup, I think so - do the worst dictators volunteer
... to work holidays? I'm actually still on yesterday, so I'm for now. But in about 2 hours, probably lots of   and 
Hang in there! I feel your pain!! Hopefully you're getting a higher, holiday rate to offset some of the frustration.
I got my computer locally so as not to deal with Dell and Fed Ex etc. I have a flat panel and I
think it is okay but not as clear as the regular monitors. I think if you pay a fortune for an LCD you get great clearness but with the 3 or 400 dollar ones it is adequate. I live in PA also. I got it because it is better for your eyes.
If you decide to pursue your own accounts/doctors locally, how/what software sm
do you use for internet transcription. Do not want to pick up work as it may be several hospital versus one facility. Where do you buy software like this or does the hospital provide this? Unsure, new venture for me.
Since you don't believe in Christmas, can we expect you to volunteer to work that day? nm

When buying a new computer would you use a company locally that builds new computers or go with Dell
or a large outfit like that. This local company has been around awhile. Not sure what to do about buying a new computer that is going to be compatible with just about all MT jobs.
I always volunteer to work holidays, weekends, etc. because my husband is off
so he can watch the kids while I earn incentive and holiday pay. Plus, I'm the one who has to cover so the childless women can go on cruises with their latest boyfriends or husbands, or they didn't show up for work because they met a guy at a bar and have the bottle flu. Oh, poor you. Life's unfair. Suck it up and get over yourself.
Mothers volunteer as "aides" at their children's schools
supposed to help, not hinder.
Thank you. For anyone else interested the website is: https://volunteer.ccrf.hhs.gov/

Maybe you could volunteer at the 1st grader's school one morning a week? sm
You can be the "cool mom" and see a little bit of what your child's day is like when you're not around. I did this and it helped a lot. Also, after a couple of hours with a roomful of kids I was anxious to get home and make some money!
I volunteer a couple of afternoons a week -- gives me that social contact I need. :-) nm

Tax guy told me to hold 30%. After first year when got idea what I would be making, he told me
:P
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
do you really think they cross the border on their own?
God bless the Red Cross
And some people have the nerve to say not to donate to the Red Cross because of not being sure of where the donations are going. Shame on FEMA.
Keep those donations rolling. We had some little kids who set up a roadside lemonade stand a few towns away from us and they made $50.00 to send to the Red Cross. Isn't that sweet?
Our local firefighters were out in Wal Mart parking lot holding up their fire gear boots. No signs or anything. We knew what they were doing. Sure I only had a couple of dollars to stuff in a boot, but if every person entering Wal Mart even put in a quarter, it would make a big difference. What really shocked me was the amount of people that just walked by.

Yep, he is from Level Cross

A Cross pen or pen set is always safe. :-)

how to handle -- be sure and dot your I's and cross your t's
First you need to be able to substantiate what you are saying.
you need to know who is signing off the report? Is she??? or is the physician???? or is she signing the report off by another physician???? If she is how is she doing it.
You need to get all your ducks in a row so that you dont go to administration and look like a troublemaker making things up.
Personally I would gather all my proof and turn a copy of it in to adminstration anonymously (make sure that cannot trace it back to you because when the fire starts you dont want to get burned in the aftermath).
If doesnt take care of it take that same info, write a letter explaining what you have witnessed and that you reported to administration but it continues and anonymously submit all of this info to JCAHO.

2 cards - FEMA and Red Cross
They haven't gotten to the FEMA ones, I don't think yet, but the Red Cross ran out of their cards today in Houston at the GRB after people stood in line for about 6 or so hours. They thought there would be rioting. Yeah, we are having a great time here in Texas.
How about counted cross stitch

No and I didn't and don't cross the eyes....sm
And I do it alone in front of a mirror in the bathroom...*lol* - not a pretty pose, you're right - but it WORKS for TMJ.....*S*
