It is so subjective. Those who are looking
to define what THEY consider "good" pay, etc.
You're confusing the new QA plan with the new pay plan. New pay plan is still completely under wr
Shhhhhhhhhhh....
There are at least three objective tests now to show ADHD objectively...sm
PET scans, TOVA, quantitative EEG's and the UK just came up with a new one that has to do with the eye following a red light. So much for your bull theory. Maybe you should get out the chair once in a while.
A good place to get reasonable, objective info regarding ADHD is CHADD
just keep it in mind for the future. www.chad.org. Also there are some informative videos at coolnurse.com. About 10 videos regarding ADHD. you will have do a search on the site but it's worth it. If it's in her father's family it could be possible that she has it, and if so, you needed to get educated about it and be her advocate. School systems respond very well to confident, well prepared parents who come in to meet for a plan that allows for reasonable accomodations. I've been doing it for years.
cmt self-assessment sm
This is not clear to me. Is there a self-assessment test one can take free of charge or are we talking the actual test itself? Thanks for your help. Would like to assess myself without formally testing.
Has anyone ever had their tax assessment jump 50%
because they have chosen to work at home doing IC medical transcription? This may not be why, my DH is down to the TA office right now to find out why they jumped it this much. That's enough that we could have added 2 rooms to our house. DH thinks they may be doing this with the assessments locally so that in a few years they can raise the tax rate and say, "Well we haven't raised taxes in x years." It's a load of bull either way, so wondered if anyone else has had this happen to them. Thanks.
That's a little bit of a harsh assessment, IMO.
I'm no prima donna, either, but I think anybody with a clerical background would be surprised to get an offer for dishwashing, to say the least. I would have been shocked. Not insulted, just extremely surprised to be offered such a different position than the one I was qualified for.
When I entered the workforce 20 years ago, I actually tried for a job like that and didn't get it; they said with what college I had, I was overqualified! I didn't care, I just wanted to work; but they wouldn't talk to me. The scenario the OP describes is so different from my experiences that I too would be shocked if it happened to me.
I disagree with your assessment. The reputation of MQ
CEOs and managers is only poor because of their ethics from the get go. Maybe you aren't aware of their past reputation. Many of us knew it would finally catch up with them in the form of lawsuits. It's taken a decade, but now it's here.
have to agree with your assessment of what nursing really is...
I'm in my junior year of a BSN program, on my second clinical and in the hospital I see nurses working really hard to get all their ducks in a row and pass meds. Not too much therapeutic communication, just keeping those ducks in a row...I already decided a long time ago that acute care wasn't my cup of tea. I went back to school just to get a Bachelor's and felt nursing was the only thing that made sense because of my healthcare experience (paramedic, medical assistant, MT). I then thought about going into the physician assistant program but where I live, it would be a daily 1.5 hour commute for 27 months. I still have a 4th grader and 8th grader so didn't feel I could pull that off. However, at the university I attend, there is a nurse practitioner program. 5 more semesters, classes are scheduled back to back with some saturdays to allow people to work at the same time. Can go part time if you want. If I go full time, there is a grant that will pay for my tuition (nursing shortage, you know). Most of the job postings ask for NP/PA so it looks like I would be in the same job market anyway. Last week in the Chicago Tribune I saw an ad for an NP to work in a physician's office, $75,000 plus benefits. Some practices will let you be a partner, or you can even have your own (supervised) practice in some states...which will become more of the norm, I think.
I've already worked in a physician's office so I have an idea of the work load....that's where I'm heading. After having the autonomy of a paramedic working in the field, I know that suits me just fine.  I can go to school longer, but then have 9-5 hours and look at sore throats instead of bed pans 
love and responsibility are sure left out of your assessment.

You did a completely accurate assessment of the situation.
with experienced MT's offered 7-9, you are correct, a newbie is only worth 4 cpl. I see no reason to hire and train a newbie if I can get an experienced person to fill the same slot, unless the newbie is willing to offer me more profit for my time. You have made a wise assessment. Business is business. It doesn't matter how much you are "worth" or what you "demand." It matters what the competition is. By the way, if you don't take this job, what are your other offers? Unless you have something better, I would take it. At least you are earning experience and in 2 years you will be more marketable, even if you are only earning 4 cpl now. Or sit home, twiddle your thumbs and earn 0 cpl.
I use ASS for Assessment, and wimp for Impression for one hosp that starts with a "w".

format
The example given by the other poster is good, but you may also want to add the date of the exam.
DSS Format
If you download Express Scribe which is a free program that does play .dss formatted files, you should have no problem getting the files to play. Good luck.
format
Just use all caps for headings. They aren't testing you on format. Worry about terminology, spelling and grammar.
Also, I have never heard of "acute care clinic" work. Acute care is hospital work, clinic is office work. Don't bill yourself as having acute care experience if you do not. They are quite different.
format
I use Wordperfect at work. There are approx. 7 people to have access to my files. Over the past 2 months, I am finding "Word" symbols in some documents and the format is changed, font, etc. No one is supposed to change one iota on those pages. Can anyone tell me what's happening?? I hope I'm on the right message board. This is my first. and thanks!
WAV pedal-.dss format
My doctor just switched from using the regular WAV pedal program using the WAV format to using the .dss format. This is coming up in Media Player and I cannot get the WAV pedal to work with it. What am I doing wrong? It leads me to believe I have to work online rather than download and work off line. It brings up My Documents and it looks like I should be saving it there. (I used to have in My Documents in Word a file set up for My WAV files, and one to Archive the dictation to keep for a while before deleting). This does not come up in My WAV any more, but is still in Archive. Any help or direction is appreciated. Please email me at maplehil@rea-alp.com as soon as possible. My work is piling up and I cannot be typing one line at a time. TIA
Start with Format...
Tee hee, I just learned this like last month! It took me long enough and it's really simple. Start with Format, go to Paragraph, you'll see the alignment of the paragraph is Left, change that to Center.
CLICK ON FORMAT,
Then the arrow at the bottom to bring up more choices. Pick "background", then choose the color you want.
You would need to learn format.
Perhaps if you take an at home MT course that would be sufficient, and with your medical background might be able to land a job. After getting a dentist's salary for so long, might be depressed when you see your paycheck, and with all the ESLs out there might not be so much fun. Not trying to disillusion you but just stating the facts. Also, need to be able to type pretty quick, and have listening/typing coordination - takes some getting use to in the beginning.
If you decide to do it, good luck.
Format heading
Tt the top, under format, check 'bullets and numbering'. Or, you can click on 'reveal formatting' under the same heading, then click 'show all formatting marks' and it might show you what is turned on that you don't need. Make sure you un-click the 'show formatting marks' when you're done to get rid of them.
What is the file format - wav, dss, etc.
What program are you using to try to load?
One thing I do is use the same format
for many of mine. (Old PRD formating)
Example - admin - administer
admins - administers
adminj - admininstration
admind - administered
also for diseases like -
chf - CHF
chff - congestive heart failure
Headings/phrases
hpii - history of present illness
hhpi - HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS
Also - if you have words you constantly transpose letters in, put those in -
teh - the
adn - and
eh - he
Every little bit helps.
If you are consistent on how you add your expansions, no matter what you put in, they will be easy to remember and become second nature.
It depends on WP format,
Spellcheck is no longer available for WP5.1.
Format question
I am currently transcribing a Consultation and never can remember these simple little rules... Under the recommendations section of the report the dictator says that "surgery is indicated for these 5 reasons" and then continues dictating and 1., 2., and so on. Would it be appropriate to add a colon after "these 5 reasons" and skip to new line to start numbering or finish sentence with a period? Or should it be a colon and the numbers starting on the same line? Thanks for anyone's help!
answer to format ?
I woud put the heading "Recommendations" and then type under that the ". . . these five reasons":
1. ________
2. _________, etc.
Auto format
You should be able to restore by formatting your commands. Just go in and find auto commands and click the one that over turned that.
Good luck!

Does anybody use DS2 file format?
One of my offices just switched to the Olympus DS2 file format (without checking with or giving me any notice!) so I need to get a player since I use Express Scribe and that does not handle the DS2 format. Anybody using this file format yet? What software are you using for transcription?
DS2 audio format
Joan, the Bytescribe WavPlayer will play the new Olympus DS2 audio format. If I can help you let me know.
DS2 File Format
You can use the DSS File Converter to convert the DS2 file to a .wav file and then use Express Scribe to transcribe the file. DSS File Converter is available at http://www.pcdictate.com/DSS_File_Converter_p/dssconverter.htm
Psychiatry format help
I am testing, so I can't really call for help. The way it is typed will make or break my score, and I have not been able to find any online exapmles to help me for sure.
Is there a new format on Forum Section
or am I the only one experiencing this....
about two or three days ago, I've noticed that when I go to the main board, other forum or topic options were not listed on the blue portion of the page, and it feels weird to go back to the home page every time I want to change topic/section. 
You need to add a tab to the format. See inside for instructions. sm
Click Format and then Paragraph. A box will open and in the lower right-hand corner, click the Tabs button. You need to set a tab at 1" (or wherever you need it). If you have problems, post back and I'll try to help again.
Platelet count format
Help, please....when transcribing platelet counts, do the facilities you transcribe for want them typed as platelets 250,000 (with zero x3 at the end) or do they allow platelets 250? Can someone tell me what the approved method for this is, and from what source? Thanks a lot.
Platelet count format
I like 250K, as in platelet count 250K, WBC 5.7K (K being appreviation in medicine for 1,000)
how about under format/line/spacing? sm
there's a tip in help in that topic that explains it
TrueSpeech Wav File Format
I already have the foot pedal, but I am trying to get some software that will play the TrueSpeech Wav file format. I have a serial port connection for my foot pedal. I have an old version of Playall Extra, but it will not play the sound files.
If anyone knows of a software that will play this file format, would you kindly let me know? I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you ! David

Does anyone have a pdf format for dictaphone EXText
I am starting with a new company and need the user manual for Dictaphone ExText and cannot find a download for it anywhere......does any body have one that you would be willing to email to a fellow MT. I would really appreciate that or any links where I can find one.
Yes, you can format it and wipe it clean. nm

Format change, no announcement?
Here it is after 1:00 p.m., and there has been a big change to the templates for the account I type for a service, which suggests there may or may not be a change in the instruction we have about strickly adhering to this format, no matter what order the dictator dictates, and still there has been no e-mail to clarify what's going on.
We are graded on how closely we adhere to format. Why wouldn't the company send out an e-mail to tell us what's going on? This co is usually good with the e-mails, and since they are very busy and get way too many e-mails, wouldn't it make sense that they'd send one out as soon as they knew something? I know they won't grade us down for not knowing, but if formatting is important enough to grade us on, doesn't a change warrant a simple e-mail? They rather do 20 individual e-mails?
Weird.
BOS format 1997-2010 s/m
BOS format 1997--- The patient is a two-year-old female who presents to the emergency room with a chief complaint of shortness of breath. (two spaces) For the past three days...
BOS format 2003---The patient is a two-year-old female who presents to the ER with a chief complaint of shortness of breath. (one space) For the past three days...
BOS format 2007...The patient is a 2-year-old female who presents to the ER with a chief complaint of SOB. For the past 3 days...
BOS format 2110...The patient is a 2-yo fe who presents to the ER with a CCOM of SOB.For the past 3 days...
Date format 01/03/2007 or 01/03/07 or
1/3/07 or 1/3/2007? If it's in the AAMT BOS, I can't find it. I looked under dates, months, years. I work on various accounts with varied preferences but curious if there is a recognized standard as to the preceding zeroes in above examples or shortening a year, e.g., /07 from /2007.
MS. Word Format Question
I hit something by mistake and now my Word document shows a little black square box at the beginning of each line; actually not every single line, but wherever I have hit "Enter" to start a new line, to the left of that new line there is a small square box on the screen. Any help to get rid of those? Thanks.
I do similar format, but I use "X" to expand. sm
Like CHF is chf, but congestive heart failure is chfx, etc.
I put phrases like "The patient will", tpwx
Put your days of the weeks and months, etc. all in there capped so it does those automatically.
On headings I use like HPI I use hpi, to expand it I use hpix for history of present illness, and for capped and bolded I use hpib.
One thing I can NEVER remember is my "She has had" or "He has had". For some reason, I just type those in before I realize I have Expander for that, ARGGHH!!
