I used to have AOL. I got rid of it because it was expensive and I had security problems. Now it's free, but I can't tell if the part I miss is free, and I don't know enough to know if I can still be using Mozilla and have free AOL. I just don't get how all this stuff works - sorry. I hate to put this in question to a tech board because tech people really look down on AOL. But what I liked was the way you came to a page with a wide variety of news stories, pictures, and interesting stuff. There was a lot of fun customizing you could do with graphics, but mostly I think I miss the opening page. I have not come across anything with as much variety as far as AOL's page, say with Yahoo. Can I have a home page like that with Mozilla?

My home page says it is Wednesday, not today - sm
they say they will have a memorial service at the zoo at the stadium there with 5000 in attendance and have big screens showing it in the zoo and in Queensland, Australia. They are to be televising the service then. So someone is wrong, either Animal Planet or my web site, but I will check it out just in case. Thanks.
Might want to check the Microsoft home page and see

I have never had links on the left side. I have always had to go back to the home page to get them.

Are you using Mozilla Firefox? if not, you probably should be.

Firefox by Mozilla
I have used it for years. If you interface with your browser for your transcription needs, be sure it is compatible with your company.
Its Mozilla Firefox that's the problem tho'
I've made sure all language settings are in US/english. This is so bizaare. Where's giddy PC guru ???
If you use Mozilla Firefox, see inside.

You can list websites that tend to lure you away from working, and block them for various periods of time. This has been a great help to me.
Personal page/web page resource
Paula,
Thanks a lot for sharing these great websites!
Yep, $2.00 a page and the page has about 30-40 lines on it nm

NJ $3 page, though I have heard as low as $1 page.
When I worked for a national, up thru 2 years ago, I was getting $1.75 page and heard they got $4.
My kids have suffered greatly from me working at home with them home. SM
I have been working at home as an MT since my two kids were born. They are now 4 and 5. In the first few years, I had no help whatsoever. Their father was a bum who didnt work or take care of them while I worked. Your children get neglected while you work basically. And babies and young children desperately need your attention while they are home with you.
My kids have so many behavioral problems right now because of their neglect. I would try to set them up with things to occupy themselves, like coloring or a movie, etc.
I finally put them in day care and things have improved, but there are still a lot of issues because of the damage that was done. They still try to seek attention by doing bad things and they dont listen to me because they are so used to me letting them get away with a lot of stuff because I was too busy typing to discipline them in their early years.
If I could do it all over again, I would definitely have put them into day care from the very beginning.
My advice would be to seek PT care for your baby. Maybe you can do some work around her schedule a little when she is home, like when she takes a nap, and then bang out a bunch of work while she is in day care.
I enjoy being alone at home, but I've got one home sick from school already.
One on one with a kid is nice, too.
This summer has been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a moment to myself for three months because all of my kids were home traipsing their friends through the house and yard. My husband switched his work schedule, too, so he's around more than usual. However, I like not having to do two loads of dishes and four loads of laundry a day. There are no toys or clutter dragged out everywhere. I can clean the house first thing in the morning, and it stays clean until everyone gets home at night.
I even got to relax with a cup of coffee and watch TV for half an hour this morning, something I liked for a change instead of cartoons or kids' movies. I signed up for an online class that I've been wanting to take. I can exercise without being interrupted. Yesterday, I went to the mall and spent all my saved up gift cards. I got some clothes, books, bath stuff, and a new coffee mug. My work gets done a lot faster, too. Call me nuts, but I've never had the luxury of being alone in the house for 14 years. It's kinda nice. I love my family with all my heart, but I love having a few hours to myself each week, too.
Except now the cat and dogs have been acting weird since the kids went back to school. They must think that I need someone or something to clean up after and correct behavior on. They're getting into everything and racing around the house behind me.
my take is that she worked inhouse, not at home, and now wants to find out how to work at home. nm

Forget "per line." Your take-home pay should be taking home SM
roughly what it was before. If it is not, is it because your current pay rate for editing (which in many companies keeps changing as the VR system is developed) is too low or is it because your talents and skills are more for speed typing than speed editing?
If the first, discuss it with higherups, and go get a new job if you don't get the response you need. My last MTSO was secretly refiguring how production was counted to pay us less. I can accept hard reality, it was the secrecy that burned. Sometimes, though, it's just that the learning curves of individual editors and that of the system aren't in sync, and you end up temporarily making less.
If the second, though, recognize it as soon as possible and change to straight transcription work, in your company or a new one, for as long as you can find it.
As for why we aren't paid more for a higher skill, that's just the way the labor supply ball bounces. Best wishes.
I think she means she has wireless TO her home, not IN her home..nm

hospital at-home -vs- national at home
I have an interview today with a hospital...work in-house for 3 months, then go home, paid on production. I don't know as of yet what they pay production, so my question is to anyone who works for a hospital at home AND has also worked for a national at home...
Which would be the best to choose? The hospital offers great benefits, but the national I work for now also has benefits, not as good as the hospital, though. Any input would be most appreciated!
It's on page 129 of the BOS II if they like to use it. nm

Page, AZ
This last summer we took a driving trip and were set to stop in Page, AZ for one night... Ended up there for an extra night because of car trouble and we loved it -- the entire Page/Lake Powell area is gorgeous and we are planning a trip back asap -- I'm jealous!!
Their web page...
www.limewire.com explains why they aren't breaking any laws - something about there is no central hub where people are downloading music (as with Napster back in the day) but simply file sharing - so therefore it is legal. But I would never pay to download music - and I don't think the Beatles are upset about lost revenues! 
per page
I actually work for a service by page and actually I do pretty well and feel almost better than a per line rate. I wonder if 60 lines is a combination of both text and blank lines?
Per page
I get paid gross line and from top to bottom of the page. My rate is lower which is what the docs like and on chart notes just take the line count for word. Kind of like your two lines on a page you get the page. One word on the line, I get the line. Also with my clinic notes, there is just one blank in between patients but I do get that line. Of course I cut apart the notes for the clinic so that kind of pays it. I also make good money and can't complain.
By page
You need to turn it around so the doctor feels he is "saving money" by being charged by the line and therefore for only the part of the page that is completed. Tell him that if you charge by 1/4 of the page anything over 10 lines would be a mininum of $1.50 - 2.00 and so he would be paying for part of the page that would not be filled up. The same applies if he were to go only 1 line past the 1/2 page mark and thus pay for the entire page. So make it seem more economical for him. Also make sure that you figure your line charge out in the font you want to type in and if he wants a smaller, convert it over to charge out. As long as they know that a gross line -- which is what I charge -- consists of how many characters in the Courier 12 font in, you are not cheating. But show him how it would be beneficial for him to do the line charge and don't go with an attitude of "my way" show him you are looking out for him. I would probably start out around 12 cpl per gross line as you will probably get a lot of standards that you can set up, etc. So if work up to 200 to 300 lines per hour that is very good pay.
Patti
Wow, we are both on the same page!
I would love to be a homemaker and be with my children, btw I dont have any yet, but that is what I would love to do!!! I agree with your comments totally on this board. Have a blessed day!
It's not there for me either. I think that and the mom page
should have a drop down in the menu thing above.
Could be anywhere from 1 page
to 5 pages. These would be reports, not chart notes.
If you will look down the page...
There is a discussion about this. Here is a link to my post, which gives a link to the chair I currently use. I highly recommend it.
Are you saying $10 per page?
I just raised my rates to .12 for gross lines, old accounts but again I make good money per hour and just cannot justify raising higher. I am happy. That is gross line per Courier 12 and 1" margins. With one account lots of consults and letters and can make $50 to $70+ per hour and so am happy. Guess that would equal 13 to 14 65 cpl so that is in the ballpark. My accounts pay on time, within 48 hours, never a bounced check, NEVER question my line counts or TAT. I pick up and deliver, do envelopes, cut apart chart notes, and make good money. Was just sick last week and did a pick up and delivery anyway and one of my docs told me to go home and rest and all others asked how I was feeling. So do what is fair for all, do not price yourself out of the account as he could think that he could do it again himself but show him how much more free time he has and it is worth the money. Oral surgeons will have lots of letters and op notes and so you can make a lot of standards and use a lot of expanders. So you have the opportunity to make good money, again I always see what my bottom line is or hourly rate and not what cpl I charge.
$1.30 per page???
I know it really depends on many factors, but I was wondering if $1.30 per page is a good rate? I haven't typed a per page rate in years and I don't remember! This would be a psych. account. This company gives a template (I get paid for the template lines). I am thinking this seems kind of low.  Any help would be appreciated.
$1.30 per page?
Oh, gosh...I almost fell over when I read this. Maybe I missed something here, but when I had my own private accounts a few years ago I was charging $5-$6 per page, which was actually low at that time. The reason was that these docs were excellent dictators (hand-picked, of course), and $ wasn't an issue.
I'd be interested in any other input.
Good luck.
$1.30 page
They should be ashamed of themselves. Don't take the job! I type speech pathology reports and charge $5.00 per page and do 200 pages a month for the last 8 years. These reports take up every inch of the paper, as they do not say
"new paragraph" very often
You can do better I'm sure!
I get $2.00 per page
Have a look at this page.
Copy and paste this link. These guys are GOOD. Looks like at least a couple of things to help.

pay per page
Does anyone know the average $ per page, not radiology but clinic notes?
By the page if the majority
of your work types are diagnostic plain films, such as chest and bone x-rays but if you have a lot of MRI's, CT's and special procedures such as catheter placement and removal, PET scans, angiograms and stent placements then by the line is more profitable.
i think its on the 2nd page of this board
i did a little different, added more
1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, lots of paprika and lots of garlic and probably 1 cup of olive oil. I had a lot of chicken to cover. I mixed it all up in a bowl to wear it was pretty thick, not runny. placed onions and garlic at the bottom of crock pot. dipped chicken in sauce and completely covered. It shouldnt run off chicken. Placed in crock pot and dumped the rest of the sauce on top of it. she said she cooked it about 6 or 7 hours i think. It smells awesome!!!!!
Our QA stay on the same page. Here's how. sm
We give feedback to our MTs on every report that comes through QA. The way our QA staff stays on the same page is to provide feedback to the MTs and we BCC to the other members of QA along with a BCC to the QA manager. We SEE what QA is telling the MTs and if we have a question, we ask amongst ourselves. We stay on the same page. That way, if an MT decides that they want to say a QA person told them something, we all know what was said.
It is a wonderful way to stay on the same page. It also is a great way to help the MTs.
We work with our MTs very closely.

Under the question about who is quitting before Oct 1st.
it's the same main page, but when I go to look
up something and get results, it is the results page that is really different.
I am getting 1.46 per page, doing about 100-150 per day. Instatext, 1 ESL.
How many accounts will you be doing. Do you have an expander.
I am making rather good wages now that I have become familiar with format and the doctor's dialect. But, I have one account only and have a lot of each physician dictation (about eight in total) in expander, for instance, their routinely said sentences for mammograms or chest films.
per page is better with rad than per line - sm
Per line means you will work your hiney off just to make any $$. Per report is the best way to go. I was paid $1.40 per report. I averaged about $33-35/hour and worked 3 hours a day.
If I worked onsite for a radiologist I was paid $88 (EIGHTY-EIGHT) for 2 (TWO)hours onsite.
Guru - did you get the one at .50/page
I have never worked thru them but am listed. Did you see the one who had a 50 page paper they wanted typed and said they "heard the going rate was $0.50/page"? LOL
how many lines are there per page?
A friend of mine works on a per page and half page basis rate wise and I was wondering how many lines that is.
lines per page
Depends on font, character size, margins -- anywhere from 54 to 62 per page. Type a page in your usual font and count the lines -- easy to do, type numbers all the way down your left hand margin. Or do one page and use the property function in Word and it will tell you the number of lines on that page. Change the font and it will show you how many in different fonts. Easy enough to find out.
$3.00 a page. I wish $300 - sorry. Also by fake it, I
mean, just be confident when you speak to the doctors' offices - don't let on that you are unsure of yourself!! That's what I meant by "fake it"!!
Per page rates
Hi guys, I just received a call from a doctor looking for transcription services but he uses templates and also wants a per page rate. I have never charged a page rate before. Does anybody do this currently? Is there a way to calculate or a going per page rate?
Saw that too. Page has worms, lol.
On that note, I was notified of a nasty e-mail virus or worm going around. Watch out for e-mails with attachments, even if somebody you know because it gets the addresses.
