They value their transcriptionists! And websites don't lie.

I didn't forget.  Never will.

I had my tissues out.  What made me really lose it was Lee Greenwood's song.  It was 13 years ago when my daughter was only 10 years old and her dance class used that song in a dance recital and they all did sign language while dancing.  Everyone in the audience was in tears or close to tears.

When 9/11 happened, we had no cable TV.  We did manage to get the local PBS station in and watched in horror.  We had just moved into our house.  We had a flag, but no pole, so we went out about 6:00 p.m. that night with the younger kids and hung the flag from a branch on our tree in the front.  Within the next week there were flags at every house in our neighborhood.

I'll never forget.

where you can change your address online for multiple magazine subscriptions?  I did this a few years ago and am moving again...cannot for the life of me now find that website. 

Thanks!

I think it is AAPA.  If you put physician assistant into Google it should come up as one of the first entries.

I think they have an explanation on there. It does vary by state, and I think the state board of medicine sets the standards. 

I do know that PAs have to have the MD sign off on their charts - again, it depends by state whether this has to be done right away, once per month, etc....The ARNPs I type for don't have to have a sig line for the MD, but the PAs do. 

There are probably specific procedures that PAs cannot do.  The difference in schooling is quite a bit.  PA is a 2 year Masters program in most cases, and applicants are expected to have health care experience to build upon.  Medical school, as you know is much longer than that, but you can go straight from undergrad to med school (if you can get in).  I am sure there are still PA programs you can enter as a college freshman and graduate with a Masters in 5-6 yrs, but many of them are now Masters level, requiring a BS to enter.

try dogfriendly.com

I never got it either, I just found the website under autocorrect shortcut but never actually tried to go into the website, and when I did, unable to find the list either.  Sorry

that is informative about how to start an independent digital transcription business. Has anyone here written or thought about writing a book? I guess I am looking for information about how to go from being a great transcriptionist to knowing more about the actual technology involved in the business. Or is it just a learn as you go type of thing.

Amazing site.  You can build each room.  Try different cabinets, colors on the walls, floors, furniture, drapes, etc.  Fabulous tool for home remodeling or redecorating. 

Subscription is cheap.. $9.95 for a week, $18.95 for a month, $27.95 for 3 months or $36.95 for a year.  Well worth it.  I used it to design my new kitchen.  Check it out.  Also, you get a free tour before you decide.
