My main reasons for looking to enter any job are:
Posted By: sm please.. on 2006-12-04
In Reply to: I have to disagree. Most hospitals have migrated to EMR & RNs are able to fill in online forms - rather than do a lot of writing. (sm)
First the ability to care for my family, which would mean money. Second, the ability to schedule around my children’s' needs.
But...I do like caring for people. I actually thrive in environments that are stressful and that I have to be on my toes. The drawback to nursing for me is the idea that someone's life is in my hands and that I could make a potentially fatal mistake.

Considering, one of the main reasons to work at home
is to avoid having to put your child or children in DayCare. Don't you get it! Obviously, you have no children or you would not make such a comment.
This is one of the main reasons I have not struck out on my own in the past -
I really don't know anyone else around me to back me up - you can always talk to them and see if it could wait or be done in house while you are gone. They will probably expect you to cover.
Give professional reasons why you deserve it, not personal reasons

I stayed for many reasons and while those reasons have changed - sm
I loved MT because I was good at it and it came naturally to me. Typing, language, etc. The perks of working from home and being able to raise my family were a huge plus. I stayed because in the hayday of MT you could make really good money really fast (2500 lpd @ $0.15 cpl).
I stayed while my children were young and I could be available for them. I stayed so I could return to school and have that flexible schedule to juggle everything once the kids grew older. I stayed full-time and cut school back to half time so I could take care of my ailing parents and inlaws when the time arose.
I continue to stay because I still need to finish school (3 semesters to go) and unfortunately my DH is ill and needs someone to care for him now. I stay because it is convenient, but I do not plan to stay forever.
I sure miss the big money days, but what money I make now is sufficient enough to pay my bills. It is a means to an end so to speak and it has been a godsend along the way. But I in no way plan to stay at it forever. It served and continues to serve a purpose, but it is no longer what I "love" to do.
AND - QA could not enter! Gee, thanks MQ.

How do you enter to win?
And where do we see the prizes? Thanks
i enter the first 4 letters...sm
Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed. I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once.
You can only enter one time
for each giveaway, but if you have already won a prize you cannot enter anymore. That is what that means. You can absolutely enter for each prize, but in order for others to have a chance to win, you shouldn't enter if you have already won.
had to manually enter the big
anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually. I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand. I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent). You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand. It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
That is what I was thinking, enter those
into autocorrect and you will never do it wrong again. I have a lot of words in there that are mistakes I usually make and it just corrects it for me. Good luck!
anyone know how to enter an entry for
-year-old where I don't have to backspace the expansion?
You don't have to hit the enter key for ths to happen.
It sounds like you highlighted the phrase and you also captured the end of paragraph mark (that was probably hidden), which will make the entry go down a line. Do it again and make sure you are only highlighting the words.
Ctrl+Enter

For those that use Vianeta, do you have to manually enter
all that info or is it imported? Don't know how you'd make any money if you had to enter it all manually. Reminds me of the antiquated YOG cottage program.
For those who own hot tubs/jacuzzis.....please enter :)
Does anyone own a hot tub that they are crazy about and that didn't cost them an arm and a leg? Any leads, ideas, references would be most appreciated :)
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying by not hitting enter twice...Ty for your help! nm

Autocorrect can't do that -- you'd have to enter it both ways.

I think that is what she is saying enter it into autocorrect uncapped..sm
and capped in the change to box. Then autocorrect will change it in a document.

FYI
trying to re-enter society and failing miserably
After 11 years at home minding my own business, having a fairly peaceful life, seeing people when I wanted to, not because I had to, i've become quite spoiled. I find that when i'm around new people, (trying to go to school) i'm easily annoyed and have no sense of humor like I used to. I've completely changed. I feel like a stick in the mud judgemental person, but people laughing annoys me and makes me tighten up rather than join in like I used to. I can't stay in my MT hole forever, but I feel like cousin IT amongst society now. Will this get better??? I miss my old self! I used to be FUN!

The docs and nurses enter from keyboard themselves. sm
It is VERY irritating. They spend all their time looking at the keyboard and screen and not at you, the patient. Worse yet, when you go back the next time, you find they entered wrong information.
just try to help him be sure its for the right reasons
You have to let kids this age make some decisions, even wrong ones, and live with the consequences. But i would just try to get the dialog going, find out why it isn't 'fun'...personally, i feel if the desire is gone -- he won't play well anyway. Ultimately, his is one decision i'd let him have.
Many many many reasons
Too many to type...just believe me...
My 2 reasons...
I love my husband because:
1. He's thougtful...calls or emails me several times a day.
2. After almost 20 years together, he still gives me chills when he walks in the door after work.
There are so many more reasons why, but you said 2...
my reasons
1. He knows me better than anyone else on the planet after knowing me for 27 years and being married for 23 and SILL loves and accepts me! :-)
2. I always feel that "everything will work out" if he tells me so.
there are many reasons - sm
I know of two hospitals that had decided to completely outsource their transcription to a well known large national service. Their reason was that they could not find transcriptionists in their area. Two years later, both hospitals let the service go and decided to go back with in house transcription. There were many reasons behind that decision.
I have a friend that works at a hospital in the midwest and says that the outsource service is costing the hospital more than if they had kept their staff. She had said that her hospital is in the process of hiring people to come back to work either at the hospital or, hopefully, at home.
The hospital I worked at could not find transcriptionists in the area, so they decided to outsource as well. Our boss didn't make it a secret that the service was charging them $45,000 MONTH. That was more than if our whole staff was working 10 hours of overtime a week/per transcriptionist. So our boss is looking into hiring transcriptionists that live within a 2 hour driving radius to work from home after a week of training in our hospital and paying for them to stay in a hotel.
Sometimes it is not cost effective to outsource. Sometimes the service is really bad and the hospital does not want to continue to pay for the errors. There could be other reasons, but those are ones that I can think of off the top of my head.
Which, among other reasons, is why I would -
;)
My reasons...
Well, Pattie, I have been doing this for 25 years. I am 50 years old. I am good at it. I want to work at home. I am reluctant to leave my chosen field at this stage in my life.
I could not have predicted, when I obtained my MT training, that this field would take such a nosedive in pay. Obviously I would have chosen another field had I known.
As you get older, you are more reluctant to train in a new field.
My reasons...
for stick with MT and even coming back after a couple of absences:
1. I love the work. It satisfies my need to be in the medical field (quit nursing school way back when - bonehead move on my part!) without having to go back to school or actually deal with people too much.
2. My husband is disabled and my boys are teenagers. If I worked outside the home in another field, I'd be spending everything I made on paying someone to take care of things at home.
3. I really like the company I'm with. Been with 'em now for about 4 years and have loved nearly every minute of it.
4. I'm too old (44) and set in my ways to retrain in a new field and get used to dealing with office politics again.
5. The money that maybe I'm NOT making, I'm also not spending on gas, clothes, lunches, etc. that are part of working outside the home.
6. Did I already say I love the field?
Well, 2 reasons. 3 really.
1) That seemed to be what everyone was hiring for.
2) I hoped to make more money that way.
3) After being an MT for 14+ years, I had a lot of confidence in my abilities as a transcriptionist. Honestly, I didn't realize how much I didn't know. I feel like a dang newb again 
Several reasons ... sm
1) May be checking to see if you have previous employment history with them under different name.
2) May be doing some type of credit/background check.
reasons
You know I will definitely pass these along. Some people just think you are being racist because you state the obvious and because you show such bitterness towards these people. Look at what they cost our country. Do you know how much crime these people bring here? The diseases? Do some research. They don't have proper vaccines over there. I mean think about it these are poor 3rd word people from an uncililized culture apparently. How can 3rd world culture merge into 1st world culture smoothly. It can't and it won't. They will never smoothly transition to the American culture because they do not want to.
And people can say well what about all the European immigrants many years ago? Well guess what? They wanted to be American so bad that they learned the English language and worked hard. They wanted to be AMERICAN. They did not expect Americans to transition for them they were willing to transition to our culture. These uncivilized vultures basically come here and they come here for one reason only: money and all they can get for nothing. They come here to work but they also abuse our social services to the utmost degree. I have seen on news programs where they will come over here and fly their Mexican flags. And you know how they fly the American flag? Upside down. Oh yes I have seen it on TV. I have seen them trying to burn the American flag. I don't care if it cost a trillion dollars this country needs to send every one of these people back to Mexico. Our country would be a whole lot better for it. We don't need this filth and crime in our nation. We are better than that. I am sorry if this offends some poeple but it is so true and sometimes the truth just hurts. That is what is wrong with our country today. Poeple tiptoe around the truth. Lets dont offend anyone! Well hey I say state the obvious. Tell it like it is.
Reasons
I answered your question above where you posted it as well. I must have misunderstood your post, as it seemed that you were challenging me. But, I was just trying to say that I don't want to debate the fact as to whether or not the queue is shuffled, cause I see it happen. I don't know their reasons, but this new shuffling maneuver only happens on one account that I work on there, and it just began about 5 weeks ago. It is really difficult for me to get a decent line count now, as all of the reports that I get are laborious since the reports that I find to be easiest are always being shuffled to the bottom of the pool. I understand that it is not a prison and that my only option is to get out the kitchen if I can't stand the heat.
