Check with your CPA--a $3000 tax credit may apply!
We're looking into this as well. Even if we don't go with the hybrid, a purchase of a new, more fuel-efficient auto may result in a $3000 tax credit (versus a reduction, so a wonderful thing) for the 2006 tax year!
is it safe to apply for a credit card
over the internet? I hesitate to give out social security number and personal things on the net. Is it okay or not? Thanks
Credit Check
I have never had a credit check done in my experience in applying for a hospital job, so I would not worry.
Agree to credit check.
I have seen several applications where you had to agree to a credit check.
As long as there is no credit check I would see no problem - sm
I am in deep too, though I have a job, the debt came after unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control. But just lost one major expense and hope to be out of the hole in about 3 years if all goes according to plan (5 at the most), just plan to work my butt off to pay it off and not incur any more. Money sucks but your need it to live unfortunately. But it should not affect your ability to find a job.
can you go on your day off and check out the new hospital? sm
ask them about dress code, productivity requirements, and those things you are concerned with. see if you can go "visit" the MT depart for an hour or so, maybe go to lunch with one already there and get more detailed inside info before you decide. money talks to me in this day and time. besides i read somewhere you don't get paid more for your senority anymore so advice was to change to more money offered.
great website for credit and credit cards, interest rates
great website
Has anyone used a credit counseling service to consolidate credit cards?
What was your experience? Was it worth it? Which ones are credible?
Check the Hospital/Clinic MT board right here. nm

Hospital background check laws
Can someone tell me where I can find the hospital background check laws? Looking for IL mainly. Thanks.
Depends on what kind of hospital? Large urban hospital or small community hospital? SM
Also, is it a large teaching hospital? If so you have to consider there will be A LOT of different residents dictating, usually a lot of ESLs at teaching hospitals, and the residents rotate out and new ones rotate in every summer. So you can't expect to get the same dictators and build up your macros because the dictators change all the time.
I would say 9 cpl would be a pretty good offer for a small to medium community hospital where you will be doing the same dictators on a daily basis. But for bigger, urban or teaching hospitals I would want at least 12 to 15 cpl.
CREDIT, everyone is living on credit, and from what I see
with a rather, 'might as well, we have no future' kind of attitude.
our credit cards are maxed out, we are buying gas, food (which I swore I would never do, how stupid - all that interest for food, yuck!), paying bills, and we would not have survived without them. now they are maxed out, and we are not making one bit more than we were.
glad things must be going so well for you, but look around in your own neighborhood.
the gap is closing between rich and poor. like it is in somalia, for example.
call us doomsdayers, but I call it protecting our own interests.
why is it the only people who are supposed to care about themselves are the rich?
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible. The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

Will the same apply for IC??
x
I'd like to apply.
Apply, apply, apply
I would suggest you check the archives of this and other MT boards. I would also suggest you send out a lot of resumes and apply to many companies. A great company for one person might not be a great company for you. I would never quit one company unless I already had a job with another one. If possible, work the 2 jobs to see which one is worth leaving and which one is worth staying with. Don't sell yourself short. You only deserve the best.
No, you don't want to apply here.
If the Twilight Zone did a show regarding transcription companies, this would be it.
I'd t ake it. If you don't want it, I'd like to apply.
;-D
does not apply to IC's...sm
you are self employed, remember? therefore YOU are the employer. If you have your house built and the guy who comes to put the siding on is slow, and doesn't know what he is doing, he might only make $3.00/hr by the time he's done. Does he go to your builder and say you need to pay me minimum wage...no, he bid the job and he is responsible for doing enough work in an hour to make it worth his while...just like you are!
400-650 when I apply myself.
Using Escription.
Apply to any and all
You can find online, through magazines, etc. I applied to over 100 when I first started out after school, and finally found someone who was willing to give me a try. You will eventually find someone.
Also, if you can't find someone to hire you right away, write to a company to see if they might give you a short intern position or something. It would be worth a try anyway.
Good Luck with your search!
did we apply for the same job? LOL sm
I've been at home for 12 years and it's taking a toll on me. I need some social interaction. There are 2 local hospitals here and one had a unit clerk, nights and weekends. I applied and within a few days, emailed me back and said no. Geez, didn't even get an interview.
They will put this on your credit
Please get them to explain to you that this does affect your credit in a similar way that a bankruptcy does. After having this explained to me, I filed a Chapter 7 and was done with the problem...no payments to anyone (other than the attorney).
I was able to immediately (upon discharge 3 months later) get secured credit cards and purchased a new vehicle after 12 months. Best move I ever made.

www.creditboard.com
Cars and homes can be purchased 1 day out of discharge.
thanks, but the credit goes to......
the--ahem--offshore MT who actually transcribed this. I don't think it's an urban myth.
getting credit for CCs
I guess really I don't care what the client wants, necessarily, I just want to know if we get paid for those Keystrokes if we do have to add physician names and addresses to the CCs.
I have had a check bounce over a boo-boo in the check book...NOT A DEADBEAT!!

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???
Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options. You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.
I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received. I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.
That said, he is getting Social Security right? Is your son receiving a dependent check? Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.
The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00. If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems. You can also find this out on their website, HTH
Why is it only for SEs? If its really quality they want it should apply to
Quality is quality whether an employee or not.
FYI, you can apply online...sm
at: www.fafsa.ed.gov
All the instructions are on this site. You can get your "PIN" here (which you will use for applying online) and and also fill out your application for aid online.
1099 does not apply to SE

Let's apply your logic here once again.
OK. So now people who don't like skanky celebrities think the celebs are their friends? ROFL! Please, keep posting. It's quite amusing. The more you post, the more you reveal your own crazy thinking. Must be why you like Angelina so much. She's some hotty kinda nutjob, eh? Birds of a feather flock together. Chirp, chirp! 
I did say that what I was talking about might not apply to the OP
Those are problems I usually see in MTs who have received an inadequate education in transcription, or who have only worked for 1 or 2 doctors in-house. If you weren't serious about "Why go to MT school" as a question, then I misunderstood.
So are you hiring or not? I'd like to apply
and see if I have what it takes to work for you.
Thanks..I won't bother to apply with them now.

Call me if you would like to apply
I don't count the peaNUTS. I have someone do that for me. Actually, it usually turns into a naughty game if you know what I mean. Would you like to be a counter in the weekly peaNUT game? We always have room for more.
Not because of pasting but if you apply to any job
if it reaches the company you sent your resume to, just like when you post a message your email is already filled in. It's cookies in your browser like above poster said.
Thank you a bunch! Looking to apply
there - are they good?
Mostly apply to ones with no pay posted
Most of the ones I see with pay posted list their high figure as one being below what I would accept, except there are one or two IC ads I have seen that were in my pay range. For employee status, most don't state but I know what my worth is and what I want from a company, which gives real added value to the cpl. It has been my experience that most employers will negotiate the cpl when a good applicant comes their way, so I don't worry much about going through the interview process not knowing the pay scale. Even if I go through all the testing and interviewing and the pay becomes the ONLY issue that would break the deal, I still feel that I learned something from the experience and can apply that to being more selective in choosing another company to apply with. Knowing what the competition of your employer is doing gives you power and confidence in finding your niche.
What is the company? I don't want to apply
NM
How would I apply? am sure I'm out of state. (nm)

Well, then doesn’t apply to me, just
telling it like I have lived and see it now. Reading just below today another person who has been in for quite a few years saying outsourced and giving it up. Thank goodness don’t have to do that as in the golden years but earlier I would have just had to work a heck of a lot more to make it and raise my family....
Absolutely does apply
All reports must be approved and signed by physician. If she is not qualified to create reports on patient charts, which means given approval by the doc to do such as a nurse or PA, big big trouble. I know.. I supervisor HIM department. Joint Comission would have a fit.
Can I apply with your company?
Thank you for your post. It is a pleasure to know you are out there. Any chance you are hiring -- part/full time? If so, would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.
And Tude-Y MTs need not apply!
!
DO NOT APPLY WITH SPI/CYMED
They are "eliminating" positions apparently to start their transfer offshore. Not a good company to work for by any means!!!
I would think just go ahead and apply.
If you've done acute care, you should be fine with radiology. I've never done pathology, but I would think it would be pretty similar to radiology in that they use certain tests for certain specimens. I think there's a touch of radiology and pathology in acute care reports. I do a lot of clinic and also have worked full-time radiology, and they are seem to intertwine. I would say either let your current employer know you're interested and see what happens. 
Apply the BOS rules
Expand abbreviations in diagnosis, impression, and assessment. Otherwise leave abbreviated. If you have the BOS, you can check under "abbreviations." A lot of companies say in their ads and/or on their websites whether they adhere to the BOS or not, and/or if that is a reference they require. I do not think you can go wrong if you generally apply the BOS rules whereas you have to watch out because some are using the 3rd edition now.
