Yes, and did an intern...sm
The Virtual Learning Center out of Canada. I did the intern through the AIM program. Yes I wished I had got into acute care. Much easier to get a job in acute care than clinic. Clinic is too limited. I like clinic but too limited. But I had to take the first job I could get as a newbie whether clinic or acute care. So now I am having a hard time finding work. I have 1 1/2 years exp and a lot of what holds me back is they want 2 years and some won't budge on that and plus a lot of them want that acute care exp. I have put in SO many resumes. I put in a couple more last night. I applied at Advanced Medical Transcription last night. Another thing is I will be so sad to leave the job I have because I love it but there just is not enough work.
Yes, way too often.....type a lot with my headphones on but not working, or just perusing the intern

Well, I looked & looked but did not find it. Maybe tomorrow!

why are we in Iraq??
Job needs to be done?? Why are we there?? No WMD, no reason to be there. They dont want us there..We need to leave, now. I have talked to many veterans for peace, from the Vietnam War, Korean War, Gulf War and Iraq War and they want us out now..You see, I have total respect for our soldiers that is why I want them out NOW..This war should never have happened..Why did it happen?? Tell me a legal reason why this war happened. First it was WMD, then it was to get Saddam..then it was to bring democracy to a land that believe me will never know democracy as we know it..Well, there were never any WMD, I knew that, we got Saddam, so why the freak are we still there?? Bush, et al have already been convicted at the International Court and we have broken the Geneva Convention..You do not invade a country that was no threat to you, a soverign country that meant no harm to you..how dare America..Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Rice are war criminals, including Blair..We are worst than Saddam ever was..We have killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and over 1, 744 of our soldiers, we have wasted billions in our tax dollars..for what?? Do you think they will ever accept our way of life, not ever..We will leave one day with thousands upon thousands of Iraqis killed for nothing and thousands of our military killed for nothing and billions spend for nothing..Open your eyes!!
DH is currently in Iraq sm
It's a hard life. He wasn't regular Army though so I was not prepared for it. He's Nat. Guard. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer as best I can. Mine has been gone 13 months and won't be home until this autumn, around Thanksgiving. 
I think she would not have been financing a war in Iraq over oil...
Oh that's right - WE don't have to pay those billions and billions - we're going to let our kids and grandkids foot the bill.
the contract for gas in Iraq is for $2.**
a gallon and is brought in from Kuwait. However, the price of gas in Iraq is 5 cents. Something seriously wrong with this picture
What problem in Iraq was that exactly?
THIS administration is responsible for creating a terrorist state in Iraq.
What to send to Iraq
When a package arrives of this nature it is shared with everyone.
Snacks are always welcomed and a microwave is accessable to them.
Don't forget things like babypowder, toothpaste, Q-tips, soap on a rope, lip balm, gum, taffy, licorice, Werthers.
Once i sent the individual containers of applesause and it arrived safely. Books are well recieved too.
Have you talked to soldiers who have been in Iraq?
I have. I was told that we definitely needed to be in Iraq, that the job was far from being done. I was also told that our soldiers would be in less danger now if the U.N. were not imposing so many restrictions on what they have been able to do. The technology used to protect them costs money, yet we want to yah-yah over what is being spent. Wars are horrible, but they will always be a reality. I will not even argue about whether what Bush is doing is the best that can be done, but I know there are more minds working on the problem than just his, and we do not know, and probably will never know what is really going on. We only know what the media lets us know, and how reliable is that?
Yeah, like in Iraq....lots of help there
.
care package for military in iraq ideas?? sm
i have a very close friend who is in iraq and i went to send something but no idea what? he ideas or someone know anyone in military and what they like to receive or need? FYI, they are on a ship. TYIA!
Clinton never shot anyone and didn't start a mess like Iraq.
I don't think he looked
like a drug addict. It is just a look. I loved his singing and cannot get that song "Trees" out of my head. He did not look too disappointed when he did not get selected, perhaps cuz he knew he is creating his own success on his own.
I have looked.
If you're offended, don't read it. It's great that your job is going so well. Mine isn't. They overhired yet again. We're all either out of work or bouncing from one account to another. Why should I lose my house and have my kids go without Christmas because their management is too ignorant to properly staff? I would be making more money at Burger King because I'm not even getting minimum wage now. Don't even tell me it's because I'm not a good MT. I got 100% on my last QA, I do ESLs, I do acute and clinic. Ah, but that's what it's like around here. Any time someone is down, people kick them down further by blaming the victim of bad management. I am worth at least 3x minimum wage and then some, but how am I supposed to quit my job 10 days before Christmas?
We looked into it
I am at a small company and we looked into the Fusion Voice, but they wanted something like $18,000 to start us off. For a small company, no way! They wanted us to start off with everything new. We already were using DVI, but they wouldn't or didn't want to, just license the software for us to use on the DVI system. I also tried to find people that had it, but it does not seem to be a popular system as compared to others. Why I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I just looked under the bed....not there! nm

I looked into it a little bit...(sm)
And while I think it is probably legit, they are mostly surveys that either get your name into some type of sweepstakes, or you would have to do an awful lot of them to make any money. I could be wrong, so if anyone else out there is making decent money off these, please correct me...
Yes, I looked at those :)
I am going to apply to TRS and Webmedx tonight, as well as put my resume up on the board. I have a friend at those places and she recommended them to me. TY!!
Just looked...
...at their website...sounds very interesting! What has your experience been with them? How much do they charge you for advances?
I looked over it
mainly I was wondering if there were any other programs that could do it (for cheaper :O))
I reckon I'll have to save my pennies! :)
I have looked into this, but . .
In my part of the country:
The training is 2 years. You must pass with 95% accuracy these tests: 225 wpm 2-voice testimony, 200 wpm jury charge and 180 wpm literary. Must do 40 hours of actual writing time during internship and submit 40 pages of transcript and a written narrative to get your degree.
Also, you must invest in your own stenography equipment, $2,000+ (could go quite a bit higher depending on equipment).
Then you must do 2 years with a legal group.
Then you can apply for a courthouse job after that (that's how my courthouse in a decently large city does it).
Then after you do 2 years of courthouse experience, the closed captioning company will take your application for consideration of hiring and "transitioning."
Closed capitioning for live capitioning (news, sports, etc.) I am pretty sure those people can work at home.
But if you want to do movies, etc., that is done in house. At least in my neck of the woods this is how they do it and what I was told by someone at the company over the phone.
I doubt that you can go straight into closed captioning from school--I am pretty sure that they want you to have pretty much courtroom experience and be pretty well versed with the steno machine.
If you can make it, it seems like a pretty lucrative career. I looked into it many years ago and went into med transcription instead. Could kick myself now.
Have had a couple friends who were court reporters, the machine seems it would take quite a while to master with any efficiency. You know, it reminds me of the alpha-hand I took many many years ago. But again, you would have to practice, practice, practice, and really enjoy what you are working towards.
I just interviewed last week with a court reporting school and then with the local college to check out their court reporting course. The court reporting school said as long as you get up to the 225 per minute speed, you can finish a little early, about 18 months. But not so with my local college, you must do the entire 2 years and classes only start once a year.
Interestingly, I was told there is an 80% drop-out rate. It is pretty tough going.
I changed my mind about going this route, wasn't interested in the courthouse work, wanted to go straight to closed capitioning, but it sounds as though that is not possible. I don't have 6 years to spend for school and experience.
Then I have been reading on the internet that they are starting to get rid of the court reporters in a couple states and replacement them with the audio/video recorders that the courthouses already have in place. So that doesn't sound to good to me. Not sure how accurate that method would be for record keeping, but we all know with offshoring has done to the quality/accuracy of medical reports.
Still thinking of what I should do instead now.
Good luck to you. Again, this is in my neck of the woods, could be different where you are.
I looked into doing this myself - sm
I have decided againist it for a number of reasons. First, I would be repeating a lot of subjects I already took for MT 10 years ago. Second, the pay around where I live is about HALF of what I currently make as an MT. Third, and the real decider for me, is that after I complete MA school I would be qualified as an MT, which is exactly what I am trying to get away from - argh!! Nah, this is not for me.
Hugs to you! I looked everywhere.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never looked at that way, but maybe that's just why it works for me.
nm
HAH!! I need some sleep - I looked right over it..
x
I looked at the web site.
Looks inviting and I might look into it more later. My dh is worried about me for worrying too much about this and wants me to rest. LOL. I was just wondering if they always have work available and how flexible they are. My old job said we had a 12 hour work window to get production in then they changed their minds on that and we have to get it all in 8 hours and forget to tell you the new policy until your already in trouble. I can get up to 1500 to 1700 in 8 hours if I stay focused but with the end of my pregnancy it was hard with back pain, rib pain and I was making what I thought was production which was a little over 1100 a day to get their 1000 a day by their figuring “sigh”
I am due 9/25 and am taking 6 weeks maternity leave. I thought I would look into something then as now I would hate to get hired on somewhere then take maternity leave 3 weeks later KWIM.
Well let's see, 216 so far have looked at the message
and only 3 of you are complaining so I guess YOU are out numbered. Go get a sense of humor.
Thanks for the info. We have actually looked
in the Destin area too. It is just so beautiful there. I would love to live by the beach. I would be there everyday. My husband actually hates living near the water and said he never would. Now it is me dragging my feet. I love the newness about it, etc., but I hate to leave my family, especially my mom. I am really all she has here. She can take care of herself, but the emotional part you know. I have actually lived across the street from her for the past 7 years. She has already come to terms with us moving, but not to another state! I have lived in Houston my whole life and actually have only been out of Texas once. My kids have had her there their whole lives. They have been surrounded by family, and that has always been very important to me since I did not have that growing up. When we move, we will not know anyone. I guess it is just pretty scary. At least we will be moving to a great area though. Thanks for all the help.
I have looked at a lot of those photos before and I
thinking maybe it had something to do with the type - brand/style implant, or the amount of fat the breast had to begin with to cover up the shape, or SOMETHING. But I would just die if I ended up with round things instead of breasts!
I just checked it out and it looked like (sm)
a "return to work" site to get people off disability and working.
They want you to sign up with a state worker to help you with vocational rehabilitation and get you back to work? That's what I read. And also they want you to work 30 hours a week with the telephone jobs. That would be almost full-time, persons on permanent disability are not allowed to work that much.
When I looked into nursing ...
When I looked into nursing, you had to get at least your LPN or RN training at a real school where you could get the hands-on training. The part you could do on-line would be the more advanced book parts, like getting your BS or masters.
Wish I had not looked. Too depressing. nm
nm
Just looked it up to see what the average is now. sm
The middle 50% of RNs earns 43,700-63,000. So you know the beginning ones are still in the 30s. Might sound good or might not. For me, it wasn't enough for something I wasn't enjoying at all.
I'm not loving the MT world, but I'm loving the freedom, and it's letting me have the flexibility to finish college for something else I actually enjoy.
If you do find you love nursing, there are lots of areas to go into. Just know it may take many years to get there. Specializing usually takes more schooling past the RN.
I realized that when I looked at the
She has tons of wigs and I've seen her with those styles through the years! We just don't know how many stars are wearing wigs and hair weaving!
I looked into it and our number is still
registered as do not call, has been since 2003, but (and I did not know this part) it expires in 2010. I am glad I saw that. Thanks again!!
I have looked around and the range for pay is
.60-.75 and the range to charge if you own customer is .80-.95. Sad but true :(
I thought he looked ill actually.
nm
I looked into that, but I need a system that will...
automatically route work to my MTs.
Thank you for the suggestion though!
I was curious so I looked it up...(sm)
This is fascinating. I have never seen or heard of this. See a pic...
http://www.vrbo.com/29508
oh, I didn't know that.....looked like...sm
Looked like an ignored post. Sorry for my faux pas. *S*
The one I looked forward to...
He did his dictation at home I suppose and every night..."Daddy, stop talking, look at me".....for what seemed like hours on end. Never took the child out, just let her screeeeeaaaam into the mic the entire time, while the wife talked in the background, oblivious to the child...I suppose she was glad someone was taking it off her hands. 
Thank you! I looked him up on the internet, and ... SM
I'm pretty far away from either of his offices, but if he's very good and would help me, it would be worth it. Thanks again. :)
Looked mandatory to me...
With PayPal popping up in there....that's not right!
i've looked at
gateway, HP, toshiba and a local option -- all have where you can change/upgrade to different specs, including which operating system. You'll generally have to tak on some bucks, but not too bad.
And get THIS! I looked into proofreading - sm
on a tip from a friend. Checked with the companies she mentioned (there is a whole proofreading industry, just like there is for MT, coding, etc.) This was for universities, medical papers, etc., and they actually want their proofreaders to be working towards their DOCTORATE degrees in the same field they they are proofreading! ????
If I was that far along in my education that I was working in a doctorate program, don't you think I could probably find more lucrative employment than PROOFREADING, for goodness sake?
oohhhh. just looked at those.
Thanks for the tip. My son has a Toshiba laptop and loves it. Do you have any problems with the keyboard being much smaller than a standard keyboard?
I'd never heard of it so I just looked it up. sm
I haven't seen the actual test so I don't know how comprehensive it really is, but I don't see any reason to NOT list it. If you were also a CMT I'd probably say only list that one since it's more well known, but honestly, in this profession I think anything that looks good on a resume will at least get you a step further in the hiring process.
I just looked at it on line and I don't
see that function, but I am not at all familiar with the program. Perhaps somebody else will come in with all the answers. Was that ability offered on this web site? I have not researched it enough to know. sorry.
Have you looked at MedicalTranscription.com?
There's a lot of information about starting a service. I just signed up in their directory for free.
Same thing. Looked into it at
one point for my own peace of mind but very expensive and you will have to look around for someone you can get it through. FYI- I think it is called E&O insurance (Errors and Omissions).
