Mine is a Director of Nursing
He makes way more than me, but the flexibility of my job makes it possible for him to do his job.
We are both nurses and met while on the job. He is 20 years older than me. 
My previous HIM director was sm
a true psychowitch. One day nice as pie and would give you the world. The next day, a bug would bite her and you would spend the next two weeks on all the garbage reports, worst ESL's. I got out. She liked me but didn't like the fact that I didn't suck up or tattle. She hid in a meeting on my last day of work. I went on call but got so busy with my new job that I wasn't able to come in three times when she called so she fired me. How's that for being a witch. She had one other gal on call for a year that didn't come in when she was called and as far as I know, she is still on call. Go figure.
I know a director looking for MTs in central FL
She's an ex-boss who wanted me to work for them but I'm out of state. The facility requires the MTs to be in-state and wouldn't budge on that. She wants to depend on outside services/off-shoring as little as possible and hopefully not at all. Again, another I've found who is nauseated by the whole thing - do I see a hopeful trend? Cardiology background is necessary. Want me to check particulars?
New director of operations
Thank you for your response, I've worked for companies like that in the past, plenty, where a new director appears and employees disappear. I won't be wasting my time applying there!
Ang Lee is an excellent director.. havent seen this one yet. NM

MTs at my hospital tried to say 20 cpl was average. The director is no fool.

My first boss in medical records (the director)
had a policy that no one could break. When doctors came in, everything else was put aside and they were first to be helped and given whatever they needed, including a cup of coffee, run to coffee shop for lunch or snack if that is what they wanted (they would always pay for theirs and whoever went to get it), and had someone sit with them just in case they had a question or needed help. She, too, said they were tired and "abused".
Oh, but the payoff was wonderful. Christmas was the best with gifts that you could not believe from everyone of them. If any of us went to the doctor's office for treatment we were treated like royalty, never had to wait, and never ever had to pay. She had the bad or difficult doctors teach a class for the transcribers and coders in whatever specialty they were in to "help" us, but it made them so aware of our problems that they soon learned to be good dictators. And when new doctors joined the staff, they were escorted by a senior staff member and told to treat us like we were the most special people in the world because this was the one office that would make their life as easy as possible. Those guys were truly tired and exhausted, but they always had time for us. She never had delinquent charts, flew thru inspections like they were a routine item, and when she retired, we all cried. Sure wish the person who took her place could have taken lessons from her.
Doctors are people, too. You just need to give them the credit they deserve, including the non-American ones. Remember, they not only had to learn English to be a doctor here, they had to learn the medical field in a language that was not their own. How many of us could do that?
Our library doesn't have them either so
we may be bidding against each other. I checked HPI too, and the prices are real killers. 
have you tried the library (if you still have one) or the grocery store...
like, lingering, you know? I have been approached many times by men like that...
how about friends, does anyone have a set-up for you, even just for some companionship?
how about volunteering for things, like a food pantry or wildlife center.
of coures, goes without saying to be cautious always when out in public these days...
also, laundromats I always see single guys...
anyone else?
I worked in a library for 14 years--
and after 4 years of being an MT I make $10-15,000 a year more than I ever did with the library system.
have 18. expand library based on your need,
not on what the 'jones' have going on!!
I just requested this at my local library.
Even though I've been an IC for a while now, I'd love to see what this author has to offer. Thanks for the tip.
This took me to the William Hung library, am I in the right place?
evacuee - just found work at library
Hello!
Hope I am doing this right. Do not know how to reply to posts but here goes -
Library down the street from where I am staying has wireless internet. They said I could stay there all day. Going to by a lap top tonight!!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Called Medquist. My supervisor and the main office I am from - kind of overwhelmed with calls from evacuees and their e-mails.
Talked to payroll. VEry helpful. Said I could use vacation time for day I missed. Medquist is not THAT bad!!!

I actually borrowed a set from the library at the community college here.
I used them as long as I needed to, then returned them.
i have a massive library but still prefer the internet
Especially when working on-line, the Internet is a much faster, up-to-date resource.
Your brand of rudeness is a terrible thing to have in this profession.
Ever hear of the doctor with no bedside manner? This applies to MTs helping MTs also. The next time you need assistance, I pray for your sake Divine Intervention doesn't help you first!
Charge what the bank or library charges. nm
Try your local library or perhaps a small tax service would give you one. (nm)
Yes. I went to the library today and was told I had an outstanding book--sm
so I came home and looked around. Asked my husband if he saw it. Said when I asked him to drop off boxes at the Goodwill for me last week that were in the TRUNK he thought the book on the front seat was also for them. A 12 year old book cost me $24.76 and its my fault because I did not tell him that when I specified trunk I did not say "do not take items inside the car".

It's waaayyy too early, but it helps me as far as working! I just have to get up so much earlier but not as many interruptions! They are trying to get the kids going to school year-round here.

I used to transcribe for a county (sm)

It varies by county in NC
I live in Randolph County, NC and the high school kids here can miss no more than 10 days of school per year before they have to start making up time. The elementary kids can miss 20. If this kid has missed that much school, the school should be contacting social services or someone to get involved. In NC parents can be held responsible and even be put in jail for their children not attending school like they are supposed to. It is truancy and it is illegal.
I'm in Cobb County. We were originally....sm
supposed to have started Monday but so many parents beat up on the school board that they delayed it a "whopping" 2 days.
At least our school board didn't get by with spending the $100 million on laptops for students! It's a shame it took a judge to block them and put an end to that nonsense. Speaking of which, I would expect that Apple will be having a huge sale on laptops soon since they've been blocked from selling the 63,000 laptops to the school system!

Westchester County work
Joanne,
Yorktown isn't that far away from you and if you don't mind being an independent contractor, Phoenix is a good place. Nice people who will treat you right. They pay high line rates for well experienced people on an internet platform. They have a lot of hospitals from Orange County down throughout MH and into Conn too. You can earn enough as an IC to afford your own health insurance. There are also a couple of other companies on the West bank of the Hudson where you could work from home with hospitals on both sides of the river.
email me if you like.

County mental health
If she is on state or county aid she might find something available. But I am not being mean but how can you expect to receive "free services" - would you do your work for free? Again, unless she is on welfare or something like that or perhaps through your church you might find some help but even then you usually have to pay on a sliding scale and don't get it completely "free". If she is suicidal or there is a chance she will do harm to self or kids, she can go to ER and they will set her up with something but again it would only be so many visits. Does she work? Does her husband work? Do they have medical benefits? Again, don't mean to sound mean or cruel but not much in this life is free as if everyone gave it away "free" how would they pay their bills. But look through your county/state directory or go to your church and see if they can help.
If you know the county that he was divorced in, do a google search
for that county's public records website. Where I live, I can access the county's public records via web and lookup by last name and first name and these are free searches as they are public records. If he had any prior record of domestic violence, it will show up there.
Hi Soho! Just north of you in Dutchess county. :) nm

county vet versus in-town vet. . . I have noticed(sm)
the change over the years since our vet's practice has grown tremendously. About 20 years ago when they first opened up they had one small converted farmhouse and three doctors. We live on the suburbs of a small city. When this vet came into practice there were a bunch of vets in town but everyone seemed to flock to my vets because they were good, inexpensive, really cared, and not pushy about extra services. HOWEVER, in the last year or two they've built a HUGE new building (basically a small surgicenter), added tons of support staff (at least four gals behind the counter checking people in and out versus one), each doctor has his own "assistant" that comes into the room with him now, there are computers in every exam room, the waiting room is the size of a small hospital lobby, etc., etc. The minute the building was finished I noticed that prices on basic services (shots, special food, exams) went up. Then came the push for the "extra" services (blood work, teeth cleaning, etc.) I only call these services "extra" because before the new building and huge practice the only time anything extra was mentioned was when I had to take in a sick animal and then it wasn't "extra" it was necessary. Now it seems they're pushing a lot of baseline things that they want us to "think about having done" even though the animals aren't sick.
In our county, 10 days lands you in court sm
excused or unexcused. They found the schools were failing NCLB criteria mostly on attendance. Now you have to show a judge the reason your child was absent (hospital records, etc...). Above a certain age, it is a truancy issue that the student is held responsible for. Below a certain age, the parent gets in trouble.
They put out a very wide net in order to catch the people who simply don't feel like taking their kids to school on certain days and the families with joint custody who simply yank the kids back and forth between different schools. Unfortunately, many people who have valid reasons for the absences are having to go prove themselves in court.

Anyone out there live in Habersham County, Georgia ? sm
If so I'd like to e-mail with you about the area as we're considering moving to that area. Thanks!
Sorry, this absolutely depends on the county you live in. Going through
She was just told they won't even look at expunging her felony drug conviction until she has a clean record for 10 years. In the meantime, she has had to fess up in a couple of interviews and hope for compassion. She finally got a job she lives but she's always afraid what will happen if she loses it.
I'm required to be licensed by city & county...

Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.
