Made 60K last year working 50 hours a week being paid on gross line
nm
I charged by the gross line and made more money that way.

Fresh out of school 13 years ago I made 8 cents gross/clinic/no ESL

Thirteen years ago made 9 cents gross/clinic straight out of school

DH has a hairy back and it is gross to me. I know he can't

help it, but I still find it gross.   He has to have yearly skin check because he has had dysplastic moles several times.  On his last visit we talked with the dermatologist about a permanent hair removal and he told me that laser was the only way to get it, that it was painful and that is potentially could scar my DH.   I had electrolysis on my eyebrows once and it wasn't like labor painful, but it was painful enough I wouldn't do it again, not to mention that I was swollen, red, and tender for several days.  I don't know how laser compares to electrolysis, just passing along info from DH's dermatologist. 


Actually, I made just under 56K last year...
It is only in the 40K range for the first year. 
I made $13,000 last year

working full time.  Constantly out of work. I moved to a different company in September of last year as an IC QA and still had the same problem.


I made 33K last year. nm
xx
I made $45K last year doing rad, 9 cpl.
I make a lot more there than I do with acute care.

Gotta love it.
I made over $20,000 my first year.
I graduated early this year and I worked 30-35 hours a week and pulled in just over $20,000. I started in acute care and then switched to a clinic account which I make a lot more money on.
Wow. I only WISH I made 31K per year!

Last year I made $36,000...... BUT
I work 12 days on and 2 days off.....anywhere from 8 to 12 hours per day just to make a buck.
If I made $250,000 a year and had Air Force One to myself, I'd
take a lot of vacations, too.
A co-worker made this last year sm

 


for a Halloween office party.  So cute to see a plate of mice with licorice tails and almond ears.  She actually put these on a huge cookie sheet with a Rat Cake in the middle.  (rat cake was covered in chocote icing-- inside was a red cake, actually quite delicious.)  LOL   Rats and mice. ....  not too scary for that age group though.

Full-time without OT. Made about 40K last year. nm

so far no one has posted they've made 100 grand a year. nm

I made 21,000 last year working part time...
hoping when my youngest gets a bit older (she is 16 months) I can make a bit more...
Made more back then, did not work
for a large service, had my own business and also worked for a clinic, better pay.  Services are stingy.  I hard one complaining because half their expenses were MT salaries.  I asked him why don't you just get rid of the MTs, then you won't have to pay them.  Cheapskates. 
Sickest thing, I made more money my first year as MT as I do now, for working
zz
I made a whole $12K this year, granted when my daughter got cancer in March - sm
my income took a big hit as I went "on leave" from my FT job, and cut back on my PT job drastically. I did not get back to working a more normal schedule until October. I now work 2 PT jobs. So had I not had a 6 month hit in the pocket book I expect I would have made over $20K this year, not a fortune. My goal for 2006 is $24K, and as I am going to try my best to "work smart", I should be able to acheive that, staying disciplined is the key, of which I am sorely lacking. I am lucky that I don't have to live on this though, I'd be starving. As it is I have to play catch up on a lot of bills since I lost 6+ months of income, not fun.
Spheris made it public months back that they were going to try and buy them.
They said it in a news release and they were serious. It is my guess that this is a true rumor and if it is then you can expect it to come to a head in about 2-3 weeks. Just be watching
DH ordered it and I made him send it back unopened
I think that was 2005 edition - using 2004 which I found at the time (2004-2005) not to have a lot of the drugs and actually Google and the many, many drug sites were more helpful.  Agree with Wise below.
Please tell me I am not alone. Just got a report back where I made a MAJOR mistake. (sm)

I normally try to be very, very careful, but I don't know what happened, but it did.


Feeling a little shaken regarding my skills and attention span right now. 


Please tell me I am not the only one who has made an error and had the client send the report back. 


Got $$$$ back last year but this year
I have to pay them, sold a property I never lived in but I had enough sense to set aside $45,000 so just waiting on them to send me my WT2s so I can get started.
It was a $1 a mile, not hour! Made good noney back then. nm

So you could end up getting more back at the end of the year
if you have your home office deduction, etc.? At least if that happens I can feel like I am making more money doing this! GRR, I hate the IRS!
I did it for a year and have just gotten back
from a 6 week trip, though don't usually travel much now except for weekends and vacation. 
I saw them in concert about a year back...
It was at a venue that was tiny, compared to most places anyways. They were on a stage that would spin around. It was so intimate and probably the best concert I have been to. The opening band was awesome too, Lennon. It was mostly just her playing the piano and singing. Awesome, awesome time. And, this is coming from a 26-year-old who loves them! lol
I went back to school this year
In my area both the RN-AD and dental hyg. programs have wait lists, however the dental hyg. wait is like 4 years versus the RN wait being 1-1/2 years. I am just finishing up all my gen eds and I should be off the wait list and into the core program next fall. I am taking extra psych classes to fill my "elective" courses as I was told that hospitals prefer nurses with their BSN to have psych minors, and I'm only in the AD program (associate degree), but I can still list extra psych courses on my resume. I wish you the very best of luck!!!
back in the mid 1980s it was 80K a year.(sm)
I worked with an MT who went and that's what she made.
Congratuilations! I did a year ago and never looked back!

Happy New Year back at you! Have fun! We'll
be fine, won't we, folks?  Have a good time!
but don't worry - next year BOS will more than likely change it back! nm
.
I have been waiting since I first heard they were coming back last year...

and I'll probably fall asleep before the ending. Happens all the time.


A study a year or two back was assessing if hormone changes were
Specifically, does LOSS of estrogen cause memory loss in women. Multi-year study, BIG study, lots of subjects.

Upshot? There WAS memory loss happening. It was not due to hormones. Middle-aged women were SO busy and SO stressed and had SO many things on the brain and things to do and places to be and things to remember about spouse, kids, job, parents, extended family, that they were STRESSED TO THE POINT THEY COULD NOT REMEMBER IT ALL! Bah on the hormone theory. We just get full up to our eyeballs of all the things we have to do and something has to give.

Like, spelling the word school or something. No can do, school does not exist in this brain any more, it got kicked out so I can remember to pick up beer on the way home!
Paula just signed a 3 year contract with AI. I can't believe they want her back. She really get

Fine. Be sure to post back here in a year and tell me about her at-home job. nm

I'm 46 and I went back to school this year full time for a BSN...sm

I was worried about because, let's face it, my short term memory isn't what it used to be LOL. Plus the program is ONLY full time. They had 1000 applicants and picked the top 70 of us. If you didn't have a 3.5 GPA, you didn't get in. But I am doing really well in school - after I got past the shock of the first 6 weeks - tons of work- and I am at the top of my class. My husband, bless his heart, is doing all the cooking and we are basically kind of ignoring the dirt. My house will be clean again another day. I am finishing up my second semester, have 3 more semesters for a BSN, and then another 2.5 years to get my masters and be an advanced practice nurse. 41 is definitely not too old! You will have to work smart to save your back but it can be done. Also MT is starting a slow slide out...you would be smart to start your second career now while you still have a job... IMHO


good luck!


 


 


 


I had back pain for an entire year. They did a trigger point
injection and it's gone. I couldn't believe it. I wish I'd found it sooner.
Love to know how far back it goes, was a member for about a year in 1998, we could use $$, furnace b
so its cold here! Actually it broke the 15, the night before we left for Disney on a Make-A-Wish trip for my daughter Jenny....(we had a blast)...got back 2 days ago, it broke again that night (21st). DH got it running again, but the heater guy disassembled it last night and has not returned yet to put it back together and fix it. Luckily we have a propane fireplace or we'd be in big trouble, still chilly though especially since it goes down to 25 at night, brrrr!---so any $$$ if we are included or entitled would be wonderful...but I doubt we will get so lucky since it was so long ago that I was a "member" of AOL. Guess I will just have to work even more to pay for the repair, fun.
Yes, I lost 42 pounds on LA Weight Loss, but gained back 50 a little more than a year later . .

I was on the program for approximately four months and lost 40 pounds.  The weight did come off really fast.  At the time I was a member, there was a rebate if you kept the weight off for one year.  It sounded good, but you had to buy the supplements for the entire year, which by the end of the year added up to a few thousand dollars. 


In any case, after I finally lost the weight, I got pregnant with my fourth child.  I am now trying to lose the 50 pounds that I gained while pregnant, but my metabolism seems so much slower now.  The weight isn't coming off nearly as fast as before. :(


My 8-year-old threw up on the way home from family celebration Christmas Eve, all over the back seat

Then threw up approximately every hour from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning.  Not the Christmas I had planned, up cleaning bodily fluids all night.  Somehow Santa managed to come overnight, too.  My husband, me and the 2-year-old didn't get the bug until last night, it's vicious!  Hopefully that's all over now and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation!


 


 


i think it is incredibly gross. personal hygiene commercials are just gross anyway.
this one is stupid and gross.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc.  Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.
44-year-old WF, M, Texas, 3 grown kids, just had 26 year wedding anv.

A gross line IS a gross line regardless if it's 90 characters long or 1 character long... SM

I'm very sorry that your lines are 90 characters line and you get paid by gross lines.  You are cheating yourself - that's not my fault.  You cannot change the definition of a gross line.  So I gues I'm not understanding what you are trying to say.  Now if you are trying to say that your line equals 90 characters and that's how you figure your lines, than you are not using gross lines.  You have defined a line to be 90 characters, whereas most MTSOs define a line as 65 characters.  If that is the case, then I must say again, you are cheating yourself.


So which is it, do you get paid by gross lines or by a 90 character line?


Nothing this year. We ALWAYS got a cool surprise in the past, but this year nothing. :-( nm
