Don't know where you are, but networked ours through DSL provider, Bellsouth. We have 3 and it is wireless networking on mine. They are at one end of the house and I am at the other pretty much.

Networking with people throughout the day
was a benefit to working outside of my home. I am always surprised at the amount of information we absorb just by talking with others in the cafeteria line, waiting for elevators, sitting beside someone and chatting with them about daily events, common interests, places to shop, etc. When 9/11 took place, at that very moment, I was so eager to talk with another human being about it, I recall,
Re: Networking/Advice
I have lots of the same questions as the poster below about getting set up with some kind of web-based file transfers, etc. I am going to do my own research, but if anyone has a suggestion of which direction to look that would be great.
I see the point about connections, and since I live in an area where I have not worked in-house I am kinda stumped. I did once land a small solo practice account by writing a letter. It was very close to my home and I pointed out the convenience to both of us and he called. When I moved he said he would write a glowing recommendation letter to anyone.
So I'm thinking if I can get that first account, the "connection" situation can be helped along.
What about the doctor you/your kids/your mother, etc., go to? How about the chiropractor? Even if a doctor is part of a conglomerate, they might refer someone to you. I am thinking of asking my doctor (solo with 2 NPs) next time I go what her transcription situation is.
Still, what I am stumped about is how to set up getting the work. I don't want to pick up tapes and I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on my 10-report-a-week job, either!
Are you using a wireless router for networking or
do you actually have wireless internet? We got a Wii last Christmas and I use a wireless router and we haven't had any problems at all.
If you are using a router you may need to adjust the channel settings on it. I think Nintendo recommends channel 11. You can go to Nintendo.com and see if you can find a solution or Google it and if no help there call Nintendo. Their customer service isn't in India.
I got mine from networking and working
themselves asked me if I'd be interested. That was 10 years ago though and still going strong, but now I think the competition keeps one from landing their own accounts. However, it can be done. I've heard others say they've mailed flyers or gone cold-calling to offices with a business card. I guess if you have local medical facilities, it's worth a try. Even mailing a letter with a business card could land you an account. You never know who is unhappy with their current transcription provider.
One account I had (he's since retired) asked me because his Transcriptionist was retiring. So quirky stuff can happen.
yeah..networking on who she can bully the most.
making herself look better only to herself. there is *bluntness* and then there is *bully*. and being just plain mean just because they *don't have time* to be nice.
G and N only apply to wireless networking. nm
Absolutely agree! Word of mouth and networking are key!! nm

stick around for the networking...ignore the doom and gloom...sm
i've checked these boards over the years; when the doom gets thick, i take a break; when i get "isolationitis" i come and see if there's someone i can help; i think you can CHOOSE your RESPONSE to these boards and their content. there are plenty of us on in this career who are choosing to make the best of a difficult situation; i CHOOSE not to be negatively impacted and keep my motivation up by helping others in the network. don't take this stuff personal...stick around...building community is always better than going it alone.... jmho
