It will help you learn MD names and
I think help you get a realistic idea of your nursing career. I don't have kids though. I hope you have a good support system.
Good luck to you.
Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to call somebody names before YOU

I like it. Once you learn it, it is easy.

Is it easy to learn?
Thanks
Quick and easy.
I e-mailed my letter. Already written, just sign at the bottom and send. It said 109 Ohioans had sent the letter. Everyone needs to take a minute to do this!
You really have missed something. They are usually easy to learn.
I like the ones where you can make your own. I now use Instant Text but there are others out there that are really good as well.
You just give frequently used words or phrases a short form and that's where you'll save time and make money instead of typing out every word. My theory is that the phrases are better because that's where you'll save the most.
Clarity needed. Are they easy to learn. no msg

I have tried both. Smartype is user friendly, easy to learn. I'd use it again.

Anyone with comments on MPWord? Like, dislike, easy to learn and use? nm
Homemade meatball subs (quick and easy).
Now that I can use the oven again without heating up the house. I had a sweater on until noon today. And socks! Nice relief from 90's and sticky humidity.
I love doing meatball subs, because everyone just helps themselves. Sometimes required when you're behind deadline. :) I just buy ready made meatballs, dump them in a baking pan, pour 2 jars of pizza sauce on top and bake at 350 for about an hour. When the buzzer goes off hubby and kids grab a sub roll, put the stuff in and top it with shredded mozarella.
I get my work done and everyone is happy. (I hate meatball subs).
Quick and easy last minute cleaning trick
Clean those vent covers from heaters, etc. the easy way. Put an old towel on the floor or beneath the vent to catch drips. Put hot water and your favorite cleaner (I use Fantastic because it really cuts the grease and grime fast) in a small bowl or pan. Take a medium to large paint brush and brush the cleaning solution over the slats in the ventilator covers. I do a quick brush over the whole thing first, then go back and start at top and work down. It will remove all the grime and gunk. Blot with a towel (real or paper). You do not need to remove the vent cover to do this. No need to rinse unless you use soapy solution.
Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet. Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking). Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley. Fresh is good too but I just never have it around. Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes. Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it. Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes. My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP. I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it. I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it. I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well.
Have you looked into Express scribe? That is what I use for my Wav, and it is quick and easy. sm
I don't know if this is compatible with all pedals, but maybe it will help.

Off to the right there is a button for downloading the software.
ShortHand is quick and easy. You can turn off the popup window,
but it is small and barely shows. It just reminds you what is about to play out, which can be helpful for me. Say I wanted to have copd change to COPD, so I have it in there that way. But then I add it as copdj to have it play out in full. If I can't remember if I did it that way, I can look down at the box before I hit space or punctuation and see which way is going to play out.
We're having chili and grilled cheese sandwiches, quick and easy!

Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.
allergy to muscle? ASR
ASR: Allergy to muscle. (Well, there's a reason not to work out).
Should have been allergy to amoxil. 
Perhaps she gained muscle mass SM
You can change your body compostition drastically and not lose or gain much weight if you replace a lot of fat with muscle. She said her clothes fit better so I am assuming that is what happened. Sounds like she is doing great to me!
Dear Muscle Stimulator. Brown:
The office manager did not find this funny at all. My boss and I did, however. That quick correct didn't last long.
Muscle relaxants could help also. I am on migraine medicine too but...
if it is caused by your muscles trapping the occipital nerve, injections would help, both diagnostically and therapeutically. They would then know how to proceed with your next step in treatment. The stimulator was a miracle until the lead wires moved. If the injections do not help, it rules out one type of headache and on to the next. I use Cafergot for my migraines with aura (a whole different headache altogether), but that has been discontinued now. I really wish you luck!
Deep muscle massage every other Friday-
Do a mix of cardio and muscle strengthening but note
there is NO such thing as toning your muscles! Tone is the resistance and tension your muscles have that you cannot control.
You either use the muscle you have or you create new muscle. The ONLY way to change your muscle mass is to create new muscle, which means tearing the fibers of your current muscle and growing new muscle fiber. To increase muscle mass you need to PUSH the limits of your current muscle mass. Creating more muscle mass increases your capacity to burn fuel/make energy (burn fat/increase metabolism). Also, this is measured in ounces, not pounds. Also, women in comparison to men have far less ease in increasing muscle mass unless hormones or steroids are involved. Really, ounces people. One more point, muscle fiber is muscle fiber. It doesn't turn into fat and fat doesn't turn into muscle. You create or lose muscle mass, you store or shed fat cells.
I could go on and on and on....so many myths out there about this kind of stuff. IMO, optimum exercise is a combo of cardio and weights. No pain no gain has some truth in it. If you don't push your body, and you only need to push it a little, you aren't doing much but using the muscle you already have and using the energy (burning the calories) you've taken in for the day and not the calories you've stored as fat.
My right elbow is killing me. Feels like the muscle has torn.

Take a couple of muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatories, call
in sick to work, and GO TO BED!!!! I was in a car accident years ago and still had to show up for work the next day. I was miserable because it hurt so bad and I had to wear the soft collar. Honestly, what other profession expects people to work anyways if they're sick or injured? Cripes, even my old waitressing job let us take days off if we didn't abuse it. That's not the case with MT.
Rehab is good. Might get a little boring to some
Rehab i
Rehab medicine will include PT, OT, sm
speech therapy, etc.
Try the Vocational Rehab in your state
You may qualify for their providing you special equipment to continue doing your work. Their mission is to keep people gainfully employed, especially in the face of disabilities, and off government aid like SSD. There is a well-known woman in the MT community who has had tremendous accomplisments with the assistance of Voc Rebab.
I think the Ortho and Rehab is the one I pick up the most as well.

I have a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab book too
I type strictly ortho reports and that book has helped tremendously!! They have other books for other specialties too. They are worth every penny!
My most worn Stedman's is the Ortho & Rehab.
The binding is totally beat and I actually have pages starting to fall out...second to that would be the Cardiology and Pulmonary words. Congratulations on your new gig!
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.

Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Stedman's Orthopedic & Rehab Words, both on CD and book
With the CD, all you do is highlight the word and click on the icon.
I have Stedman's Ortho and Rehab Words electronic on

Get a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab word book, . . .
and you can check. Put them into your word Expander correctly (capped or not), and you won't have to try to remember which tests are and aren't capped. :)

I've found this resource pretty useful for rehab work. Link inside.
Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

Stedman's Ortho and Rehab words. You'll keep researching screws & pins as long as you do

Gotta get the Stedman's Ortho & Rehab Words. Wheeless encylopedia is a good site to book

Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
Easy easy money they are!
I don't mind seeing those puppies filter in at all. Same for H&Ps. They are always different though, so can't really pop in the same pre-formatted autotext, but it's usually WHAMMO 2-3 pages at a time. Give them a shot...you may just be pleasantly surprised!
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most
s
Well they DO have different last names. nm

re: looking up names
If the doctors do not bother to spell the patient names and the offices do not bother to provide me with a patient list for the visit date, they get a verbatim spelling of the name and a note to please check the spelling of all names. I don't have the time to dig around on the internet looking for their patients names and I do not feel it is my job and I do not expect my subs to do it. If they provide us with a list, yes, I expect them to use the list but otherwise they get what they say for names and the office has to verify the names. If the company you work for pings you for QA issues by doing this, then I honestly would find someone else to work for.
looking up names
oh, believe me I do get caught with that all the time and it sucks!!
Let's not name names, please.
