My SIL's mom also wanted to work from home cause she was *bored*. nm

if they stated they wanted her to work from home
they should have included all the other "but" and "if" and not made working at home sounded like it was going to be permanent whent they gave her the option. It is their duty to include the details. The boss is just leaving the door wide open to whatever he or she wants to do whenever it suits her. Too many prima donnas out there on both ends! 
nope. i just noticed it and wanted opinions. NM

Nope! At home. :) NM
When the kids started school I wanted a job in my home town. A hospital clerk position (sm)
came open. You started compiling charts, making copies, etc. Then I was promoted after a few months and began learning transcription and did that part of the day. Then a few months later they taught me coding and abstracting and I did that part of the day. It was a great learning experience to learn things from the bottom up. Needless to say, I am an old dog here who has been doing this more than 25 years now.

I tried Relacor, it didn't work because I wanted it to work without
my trying to really lose weight, i.e., dieting.
My true belief is that any product will not work unless you TRY yourself. I had 20+ lb loss with Metabolife (sp?) and really felt more energy.
BUT, I truly believe if I don't really try, nothing will work to make me lose weight. Please know, I'm right there with you and wish there were a magic pill that could make the lbs just shed away.
my take is that she worked inhouse, not at home, and now wants to find out how to work at home. nm

Nope, won't work
Microsoft is really cracking down on things like that. You will have to buy another copy of XP if you want to put it on another computer.
What my husband and I did (we each have a computer) is buy one copy of XP which we installed on both computers, then I bought a second copy on ebay that was still sealed in the package, and used only the code that comes with the software (which is visible thru the clear packaging) for my computer. That way, if and when I decide to upgrade, I can still sell the sealed copy of XP on eBay. I'm sure by that time I won't get as much as I paid for it, but at least I will get some return on my investment.
Just a thought.....
Nope...MDI-MD...no work x 2 months!
Nope, cause I only work 32 hrs a week.

After 25 years, nope. Just work. But I used to. nm

Nope, hard work and have to prove yourself.
Don't get discouraged though, we have all been where you are at...good luck!!
Nope, I am working exactly the way I always have worked and I always am careful with my work but
lets face it the only way to be certain you are PERFECT is to relisten.
Nope, my computer is owned by the hospital I work for, and does not even

Nope, happy to be paid 30,000 a yr to work less than 8 hrs a day, in the comfort of my bedroom,

Quit after 2 years. If I wanted to work 8 hours a day, I would have stayed in the hospital. Seemed
to be working all day long just to make a decent living. Although, I wanted to be home with my kids until the baby was at least 5, had to breakdown and return to working outside the home, to make ends meet. Just to stressfull trying to make a good living with the rates they are paying now.
New. Wanted to put in a better card to support a game my 17yo DD wanted to play.

Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

Has anyone breast fed while trying to work at home, can you do this and still work full time?
It seems like the more literature I read on the subject, the longer it seems to take, especially in the beginning when you are breast feeding every two hours, or does it really just depend on the baby?
Does anyone do any other at-home work other than MT?
I need to get more work but don't want to go back to an office atmosphere. Any ideas would be appreciated.
at-home work
Hi there, I do web design, all self-taught through many, many hours on the "free website" places on the net over the years and help from my geek/techie friends ;) My sites are basic but luckily that is what my clients want. I really can't to all the fancy flash stuff yet! It pays very well by the hour but unless you have lots of clients, it only works out to an extra $100-200 a month once the basic site is designed and up and running. (I have only two clients at this time and its basically maintenance and small changes here and there to the coding). Its fun and interesting but if you really want to get away from a computer, this isn't a good choice! All day medical typing then a couple more hours web design can be hard on the eyeballs after a while! Another suggestion, my DH works full time and has a cleaning business (cleaning offices) on the side but that only can be done when the business is closed so that means weekends or nights. Best of luck!!

In case you see this post twice - another person asked this question as well so I will repost my reply here too :)

Thank you!. I am trying to help those who need to work from home, but cannot
due to financial constraints. I am also doing research for other work at home programs that are legit. If anyone has info they would like to share with me either MT related or not that I can use that would be awesome! This is about 1 year out as I have a lot to get together with that and some things I am doing with my house to get it "organized."
work from home!
 click on my link below for an incredible oppotunity! Only $49 start-up cost!
Definitely work at home is the way to go.
I began working at home after I had my son. I got see his first everything. I get to wake him up in the mornings (the best time to get all the kisses) and I get to tuck him in every night. I get to go to all the school functions. I get to drop him off at school and pick him up. I get to be with him all during his summer breaks. I get to go to all the sporting events. He is now 8 years old and I can say with great pride, I got to watch my child grow.
I have gotten very frustrated with the company I work for, but it all truth - I wouldn't have missed this for the world!
If you have a chance to work from home and be with your child, I would say go for it and never look back. They grow so fast and being a mother is such a privilege - take advantage of your opportunity.
work at home.
Do you really want an answer to that question about working in your bedroom???LOLOLOLOL
Looking for work at home
Sorry to be a little confusing, but I am actually looking for work at home. I know most home-based transcription companies (ie. cymed, spheris, medquist, accentus etc) are looking more of Radiology, OR, oncology, acute care experience but all I have right now is Pathology experience. I've been transcribing surgical reports for 6 years now and would like to do this at home as well, just to pick up some extra $$$.
Thx to Carrie for your suggestion. I appreciate it! M.
work at home??
Is it possible to do this from home as well or is this something that you must do from a courtroom or lawyers office or other??
For those who work from home..
Do you ever feel like you get away from transcription when working from home full-time? I work part-time at home, and it seems (especially on my Sunday shift) that I'm typing all day and half the night! Do you just completely shut down after a strict schedule and walk away from it? Even when I quit, I'm there in my bedroom which is where I also have my computer armoire and I feel as if it is staring at me! LOL...calling my name...pleading with me to come work. The co. I work for part time is always needing extra help and I feel so guilty just to lie around when I could be typing. It may sound silly, but it is really getting to me!
work from home
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! That is THE MAIN REASON I am taking this course, and going to work from home so i can be home with my children. I also homeschool them, and know that it will go so much more smoother with mom being home all the time.
I would work from home.
I think you have to weigh the savings on gas, clothing, daycare (if that is an issue for you), eating lunch every day (unless you packed your lunch), and personally I hate dealing with office politics. I personally enjoy working from home because I can be here in the afternoons when my son gets home from school. If he is sick I don't have to worry about missing a day of work or leaving early to go and pick him up from school. If you don't have children to consider, then it really would be a toss up. I think you would really have to look at the monetary situation and figure out which job would be more beneficial for you to take.
MTs are not the only work-at-home
employees who have the "jammies" image. Get a clue. Don't worry your little self about MTs like Red and myself.....we are doing just fine. And, let me add that my employer is very happy with me -- jammies, kids and all!!!!!!!!!!!!
I work at home, too.
But I still get the dose of nastiness, rudeness, unprofessionalism. I can only imagine (shudder) what it must be like to actually work IN these doctors' offices. If they're rude and snipping on the phone, imagine what they must be like in person, and this goes for the doctors too. They all just seem totally ice cold with a take-you-or-leave-you attitude. It's just total unprofessionalism all the way around from everyone and from every doctor's office I've ever transcribed for, with the exception of one office.
Work at home
Dear interviewee MOM,
I am looking for work at home and have greater than 3 years experience of working in different files of medical transcription. I am outside of US.
Can you give me some advise or help.
Thanks
She said she will be doing the same work, but at home as an IC.

work at home
would greatly appreciate the name or names of companies that hire work from home positions as I have had no luck working as a MT from home. thank you
Work at home...
Have tried most of them around here - all are about the same. No singles, mostly young married with kids and elderly. That is rural Iowa for you!!
:-)

If you really want to work at home
all the time, you might need to find another job.
FOR THOSE WHO WORK AWAY FROM HOME
How do you connect to the internet? Thanks in advance for the help.
I take it you work at home..
just asking because I am not too far from Pittsburgh. Does the hospital ever hire anyone right out of the immediate area? I would be interested but I know with some hospitals you have to be local in order to work at home. TIA!
work at home
I am looking at M-Tec or Andrews right now.
I see/hear a lot about "acute care", what exactly is this?
As far as income goals, if I can make around $1000 to $1500 a month I will be happy. This would let my husband stay home more.
My grammar, spelling, and listening are pretty good. (My mother teaches high school english so I grew up with it in my blood) And learning vocabulary should not be too much of a challange as I have devoured books since I started reading and new words are fun to me.
I just do not want this to take so long that it feels like a waiste of time to both of us. Finding something to do from home is tough with all the scams out there.
Thanks for all your advice!
Is there anyone who just cannot work from home.
I have ADD. Actually a college friend of mine diagnosed me when I graduated HS. I went to college and I was explaining to a friend of mine why I had so many problems in school is because my mind won’t shut off from something that happened earlier, or something that I know is going to happen later and I just cannot keep focused on the task at hand at the moment. I do have good days and bad days, lately more bad than good. She said that she thought I had ADD because she had it and she had done the same thing. She said she went to her PCP and she got on Ritalin and her grades went from Ds and Cs to As and Bs. I did not go back then because I did not have insurance of money. I tried everything else I know of. I tried counseling, I tried the tips I have found on the internet, nothing seems to work. I went to my PCP, told her what I have been doing and she dx me with depression and ADD and put me on Ritalin and Celexa. I have been taking this for a little over a week now.
Well, my OM called me and told me that I needed to work in-house because my line count was so bad. I did and H threw such a fit and cussed me out royally. We cannot afford the drive and why the heck isn’t my line count like it should be, he shouted. I told him that she will probably just keep me up there a few weeks. Well, I talked to her today and she said that I was going to have to stay permanently. No going home again for me. I told her that I have been taking meds now to help my mind from wondering and could I have another chance. She mentioned that someone else in the office (no names) is doing that too and it helped her tremendously but she thinks I do a better job in-house than I do at home. I told H and he is so mad. I can understand why but I don’t know what else to do. OM won’t give me another chance to go home. I could try an MTSO but H doesn’t think there is no use. He mentioned to me moving in with my brother because he lives closer to the hospital then we do, then he said that I should quit my job and he will find a new one that pays more and looks at me like I am a complete useless failure. I know he is just mad but him doing this doesn’t help me with my depression.
I just started these meds. It maybe the answer for me and it may not. I don’t know if I should try an MTSO while taking the meds because if it does for me what my friend said it did for her, I should be more successful. H wants to give up on me.
But we'd still have to work at home?
That's what is driving me nutso.
If you work at home,
that can cause boredom, that's for certain.
If you are an IC, then I'd suggest you get a regular job of some sort to get out of the house, whether it involves MT or not.
But the truth is that people in every line of work have trouble with burnout, from what I read, so it's not just our type of work or anything.
Anybody out there work at home for
your local community hospital. If so, give specifics - paid by line, etc. and how that is working for you. I'm thinking about applying to local community hospital. They have recently sent all their transcriptionists to work at home and they are loving it!
Those of you who work at home for a
would you mind saying (anonymously of course) what your base pay is, how your incentive pay works, and how much you are realistically able to make?
I worked for a hospital for years, but before they had MTs working at home, and left to start my own service and get my own clients.
I am trying to decide if I want to keep my own accounts or possibly work from home for a hospital, but would like to know how much I could realistically make working for a hospital. Of course, I know it can vary a lot but would just like to see what some of you are able to make.
I'm getting closer to retirement age and the benefits that I didnt't really need/want/care about when I was younger are looking better all the time...
You are right, we do work from home....sm
And when you work in an office you can be mentored. I guess that is why most places want 2 or more years exp to work from home. But if you don't have 2 or more years exp then 2 or 3 days to be off QA is asking a lot. I guess it all comes down to exp.
They will never get that you work at home. Lm.
After working at home for over 10 years now, I just want to let anyone coming into this field, or anyone experiencing a lot of distractions, they will NEVER get it. For example, my son is now 23-years old. I have worked at home since he was 10 years of age. The latest company I am employed with, my schedule has been Tues - Sat 9 to 5 for 4 years. He will call me up and say" hey mom, it's me Nate". (He is an only child, it is not like I have everyone calling me mom so why he thinks he has to identify himself along with the name I gave him after I birthed him is beside me). Then he will say something like"what are you doing 4th of July" and I have to say, if it is between Tuesday-Saturday at such and such an hour I will be working. Same with DIL. She will call me up and say can you watch the kids tomorrow? I will have to say, no if it is not Tue-Sat 9-500 I cannot. They will never get it.
Work at home
I work from home and connect via a VPN only when I am working to my office.
Need more work at home.
I need more work at home. I have only dial up, which is causing me to find very few jobs to apply for on the site. I am qualified for multi specialities and many years of experience.
