My kids are older, though; they are all teens.  But still, your husband is not "babysitting" when he is with the kids.  You work during the day too - is it your job to take care of the kids in the evening so he can relax?

You DO have to take your marriage and your family into consideration, though.  If you are in class every evening, when are you going to have time with your husband?  Do you have to go to school full time in the evenings?  Is there a way that you can take classes during the day?

Last semester I took classes two evenings a week.  I didn't like being away in the evening, so this semester I am taking classes in the afternoon.  I figure I'll get up a little earlier, get my work done in the morning, go to class in the afternoon, and still be home in the evening with the family.  Sometimes I waste hours a day on the internet; I just won't have any time for that anymore.

I plan to buy groceries on the weekend and plan meals that I can fix quickly, or that can cook in the crockpot all day, so we can eat out.  I kind of let things go last semester and I don't want to do that this semester.  I want to make sure we have meals every night without eating out too much, and also want to make sure that the house is clean.  DH does a lot of laundry and a lot of cleaning, but I still feel like I need to do my part and I don't want my family/home to go to hell just because I decided to go back to school.

If you can work it out so you can go to school during the day, where it doesn't affect your DH so much, you might want to try that.  Make sure you figure in time for you to work, time to spend with the family, time for you and DH, and don't just throw the kids in day care for hours and hours a day; they need you too.

I plan to put myself on a strict schedule of studying 1 to 2 hours every day; that way I don't get down to test time and have to abandon everything for days to study for the test.

In another year I will have 2 years left and my classes those 2 years will be from 9 till 12:30 Monday through Friday.

I asked this on the equipment board, but I think maybe I'll get a better response here, so I hope its okay to post it here, too.

Does anyone know what the SUM CDs are worth?  There are some on ebay.  The beginning one is 2005, and usually they are the older ones on ebay.  I looked on the HPI website, but they come with books and are VERY expensive.

Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what they are worth without any extra books?  I want to bid on them, but don't know how much.  They are at $9.99 each now.  There is a beginning one, an advanced one and a surgery one.  Shoot.  I want them, but don't want to pay too much, you know? 

Thanks for any input. 

Hello out there - Starting position who has DQS program.

I find it to be very poor.  (In fact those who know the Meditech program - I prefer Meditech over DQS anyday)     

I have a lot of issues with the program; however, will just ask two questions, please.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

1.  Does anyone have advice as to the quality of dictation.  I am not referring to the physicians quality, but the inability of the DQS program to have more than 4 selections for speed, which are terrible.

Is it me or is this par for the program?  1-2 speed hash marks are draggy, 3-4 is distorted.  There is not a happy medium for clear dictation but at a rate you can type quickly and accurately.

2.  Also minutes - never measured my work in minutes how many minutes a day approximately to produce 1500 lines a day ??

35+ years transcription experience - this is the worst program ever.  Hey that is just my opinion, I could be wrong (5000 lb gorilla).

My reports, especially with ESL, come in better than they (the ESL dictators) can actually dictate.  I have to do editing, sure, but it's mostly punctuation, or wrong word(s), setting up paragraphs, doing some headings - it's very rapid for me (used to edit in a previous setting but not medical) but, yes, it is less $, so you work smarter, not harder, in this biz.... I'm much faster on VR than straight transcribing and wish I had more VR.....

it to work.  What I do is take the phone off and stick it in my desk drawer and the headphones work fine and no speaker phone.  If you do get the speakerphone hit stop and it will go away. 

Does anyone know if there is a site to download for free Word Perfect?  I googled but was unsuccessful in finding it, yet I've heard there is a free version out there.

If anyone can link me up, TIA!!!

which is taxactonline.com, they have a section where you calculate what portion of square footage you use for your office space and that is how they calculate the percentage of deduction.  So, if your house is 1,000 sq total and you use a 10 x 10 room for your office, or 100 sq, then the deduction would be 10% for utilities (if I am calculating that right, it's been a long day).

I wouldn't say I liked it exactly.  It was a lot tougher than I expected and sometimes I got discouraged.  However, I finally finished and was hired right off the bat.  My employer loves M-Tec grads!  In addition, I continue to get emails from M-TEC about other employers who would like to hire M-TEC grads, so I guess all that hard work was worth it.  If you really want to be an MT, I don't think you can go wrong with M-TEC, but search your soul and make sure it is really what you want because it won't be easy.   

TIA

From what I have read, it seems that EditScript is the only VR program that seems to work quite well.  I hope this is not the one you are using.  Could you tell us which one?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give me some info on an Abbreviate software program or which is best.  Is it feasible to make my own on autotext or should I invest in a program.  Or do I have to also make my own on the software program?  Thanks so much.

it's the fact, as mentioned in other posts, that we don't get the headers/footers, CC's, etc, anymore.  Also right after starting on DQS, I got put on a totally new account, not even one from my home office, which NEVER EVER has the ADT screen completed, and the patient's names are NOT in the ADT search...so I have to fill out the whole screen, hoping that I've got the correct name, cause the dumba** docs don't seem to realize that I have to type it in!!!  I'm just disappointed because I thought my line count would go UP, not DOWN, considering I now have the quickcorrect with DQS, and also the ability to use more templates, normals, etc.

Oh, well, gues that's what I get for thinkin' anyways, thanks for all the replies ya'll!!!
