I started my son in preschool and he got so sick, that I decided to keep him home with me. I've been a Transcriptionist since before he was born and I figure I could teach him myself. I sent to the local educational store and got a few things. This worked out fine for the both of us. He became healthy and stayed healthy. I know you stated you didn't think you could do this but it's not that hard. On the other hand, when my son did start school I kept a close eye on his teachers. There was one teacher where him and her just didn't get along. He would come home totally unhappy almost every day of the week. I gave it about three weeks, then decided I would get him changed to another teacher. This worked perfectly. He is now in 4th grade and has been getting either honor roll or principal's honor roll every since. You are the master of your child's future, not the teachers. They are human and a few of them will not click with your child. I taught my son until he could start kindergarten. When he started kindergarten, on his first day he came home and stated "Mom I knew all the work in school. I did it all and it was easy." That was my shinning moment in life. Always remember you are the mother of your daughter and you have to make decisions for her, even though some people will tell you different. Your child's education is in your hands, not the teacher's. Now days we have too many children growing up too fast, especially the girls. She sounds like a real sweet child and is doing appropriate things for her age. One more note, every though you don't think you can teach her, you can. It is so much easier than you think. Even if you just get something for her to write her ABC's and her name would be a real plus. You can search online for things to give your daughter to do at home in her spare time. If she gets tired easily when writing then you can help her by giving her extra at home, just 30 minutes or less everyday to do. She will do just fine and will show that teacher one day that not only was she ready for school but look how far she has gone. STAY STRONG MOM, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THERE AND SURVIVED. YOU WILL TOO! Hugs to the both of you!!

We are so proud of you...now STAY STRONG!!!
He will be trying to worm his way back into the household. Be firm, be strong! Set a time limit (in your mind, but to him also should he start begging) that you WILL BE SEPARATED FOR A SET AMOUNT OF TIME no matter how much he begs or how much you might start to miss him. Maybe 6 months or thereabouts. By that time, I think you will be SOOOoo glad you booted him out!
Please let your community's support system know you need a little help. Get the word out that you need a car. I'll bet a car shows up! Probably not a real spiffy car, but transportation nonetheless! Let your neighbors (if you have any)know what the situation is so they can be on the lookout for him and watch over you.
Please accept help and counseling from whatever community support groups there are to help bolster you resolve!!! If you have a neighborhood patrol (depending on your area...here, we have senior citizens that patrol neighborhoods in police cars, checking homes for people on vacation, etc) have them swing by the house often just to make a statement that someone is watching out for you. Even the police might do this if you are not out in the boonies. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND KEEP US POSTED.
You just stay strong, he will try to wear you out.

reunited after high school at a local night club. I married a former classmate 18 years ago.
The BBB is not as strong as some like to believe
Companies join it if they wish - it is not a requirement - if you are a member and someone complains then they might get involved if it is something they can do - but I seriously doubt they would get involved in $$$ issues. As far as I know - if your business is a member they make record of the complaint and whether or not the issue was resolved..... I would file a claim in Small Claims Court for the amount owed you by this company.
How strong is your ESL experience?
At least, in my area. But ESL? I don't care for ESL and I know I could not type ESL day in and day out. Something to think about??!
Be strong, but be careful. sm
He sounds like the type that knows better than to come to your house and violate a protection order, but you never, ever know and it's still early yet. Keep your doors locked.
My ex was "pre-protection order" (i.e. many years back) and he got through the basement window and was sitting at my kitchen table in the pitch dark. I can still hear him sneer, "Did you have fun with your boyfriend?"
I was grocery shopping and my mother was watching the kids. I got lucky because he really didn't want to kill me, just control me.
He finally gave up on me when I found and eventually married a great guy that doesn't expect me to fold towels in high heels and "poofy hair".
Sad part of that story is that he also disowned his own kids. But, after 15 years, the kids have realized that it was neither my fault or theirs. Their "father" lives with me. Their "donor dad" is living 5 miles away, a recluse, and drinking himself to death.
I send him a case of vodka on his birthday every year. Just kidding! 
Keep strong. You can do this. Now, about the satellite,
you can move it with you. If you move to a place where it isn't available, you're out of the contract easily. My son actually moved to a place where when they tried to set the satellite they found that the neighbor's trees were an obstruction and you're obviously not going to ask a new neighbor to cut down or even into trees, so they let him off the hook, no problem. The phone company should not be a problem as long as you're moving, again you can just move it with you, unless you're moving a long distance and then you'll just cancel this one and get another wherever you move to.
I do think you need to keep this in perspective with your kids. They are losing their daddy (almost like he died to them) whether they feel good about it right now or not. It really couldn't hurt for all of you to get into counseling. Eventually it will be a problem for your kids when they "miss daddy" and they "forget" (and they will since they are of young age) how bad things were when you were together. Of course, this is JMO and others might see things differently.
You can do it, we'll all pulling for you and saying prayers for you and your children.
yep!! VERY strong in numbers!!! nm

Yeah I did. 13 years and going strong. :)
people just have strong emotions on it...it seems to be
a healthy discussion to me, albeit controversial...
5 years and still going strong, I have a back up one though- sm
that I use for travel, that is about 4 years old but only gets used about 20 days out of a year if that. That one gets abused a bit and still works fine though.
The answer to a strong business...
Your comments regarding "happy" and "unhappy" MTs are chilling. When I, as an MT, see my physician I always ask for a copy of my chart note just to make sure that everything is "in order." About 10 years ago, I found on one of my physician's dictation, just by accident mind you, that my weight was listed as 417 pounds; I weighed 135 pounds. While that may seen insignificant, it was nonetheless an error!
You are coming across as being very strong armed
They are employees and they cannot just go in there and strong arm their way in and make demands. They can sit and talk with them and tell them what they would like but if they accept the job as it is, that is what they took and must work with. She never said, but if they are doing EMR's some of those programs will not work or read some of the word based commands or whatever you want to call them. I have worked on three programs, two were semi compatible with Word and the other definitely not. Could not cut and paste into it. But I knew what I was getting into and if I did not like it, there was the door and I could leave. Sounds to me as though the doctors have found out that they do not have time to do the charting and want them to catch them up. They did not write the program to be transcription friendly probably. Again, I agree that they should have some of these tools but you are coming across as though you are pounding your fist and saying, just do this, this and this and it is the company's equipment and not theirs. Sorry if I took you wrong but that is what I hear. She does not have to take the job.

Stay away
This is the worst company to work for, please take everyone's advice. Certain accounts get put on what they call a lock out for depositing THEIR checks that bounce constantly!!! Then you can't get the money you are owed! There are so many better companies. Please look for one except this one.
I will stay.

I would stay where you are (sm)
until January. This is already a stressful time of year (the holidays) and you'd just be adding to your stress by learning a new job. Although your new employer may grant you the time off, it most certainly would be without pay. Good luck!
stay
I would stay for the house, nothing better than peace of mind in having your own home.
They should stay away,
it is nothing but a pyramid scheme, no matter what anyone tries to tell you!!!
Stay far away!
The owner is a lunatic. You should look elsewhere.
I would stay away if I were him, too
Do not blame him at all!
Help! They won't stay. :(
I had to set my home page as the main forum page here in order to get the links to "stay"/show up. Does anyone know, what might I need to change in NAV in order to get the links to stay without having to use this as my home page?? I normally click on the main forum page from my Favorites.
TIA.
If your DH wants you to stay out of it...
then I think you should.
Just my opinion. If you don't want to fight with him over it, then don't. Why should this other woman's indiscretions cause problems in YOUR marriage?
You are probably better off to stay out of it.
I can't see why an administrator would have to "make-up" anything unless she's covering her own butt or the MT's that work under her. Is she making it up because the dictation was erased by mistake or the doctor didn't dictate it in the first place. I just can't see someone putting themselves on the chopping block when it is simply a matter of asking the doctor to dictate the report. Is this an MTSO? I know there are certain things that are legal which is to state at the bottom of the document "dictated not read". To me this basically means the doctor trusts the report was transcribed/handled in the proper manner.
If you really think about it there are probably more errors made by MT's and doctors overlooking things in their reports because they won't take the time to read them thoroughly then this situation of an administrator "making-up" reports.
I'm not sure I'd want to be involved unless I knew for sure. I think you are better off just doing what is expected of you as an MT. JMO. Stay cool.....
I'd stay out of it.
A workflow coordinator isn't necessarily QA, so as long as she's not correcting your reports, she may do just fine making sure everything goes where it needs to and arrives on time.
If she IS QA-ing or changing your transcribed reports, then I'd say you have a right to bring it to someone's attention.
VR is here to stay...
I agree, it is less money, and sometimes the reports can take even longer than it would to type it, but then you get the really good reports in between that only take a few minutes.
VR is not going away, so somehow we need to embrace it and make it work for us. There will be a few companies that will stay with straight typing, but that is because they do not want to spend the money or time to train the VR. My accounts are 80% VR and 20% typing, so I do still get to type and balance out the $$$$, and it is not easy, but I still prefer it over typing all day.
stay or go
Tough call... I worked for a local group until October 2008. We heard about EMR coming for more than 3 years before it actually started to become implemented. That particular group did go with a point and click system and indeed, when they went to it, that was it. With over 25 doctors, though, they brought it in one department at a time. I will say this... when it became obvious that the time was drawing near (training sessions for other employees, etc) and we all started to get that antsy feeling you describe, the "head guy" came in and held a meeting with us in the transcription department. He stated (falsely) that it would be a year AT LEAST before any of our MT jobs would be at risk and assured us that we'd be offered positions (in house, of course) elsewhere in the offices. Needless to say, that ONE year was less than 5 MONTHS.
If you're feeling antsy and it's giving you so much grief, I would definitely start my search for other IC work. I mean, if you've no benefits to lose and you know you've no interest in anything in-house with them (IF it'd be offered), then why cause yourself heartache..
Just my opinion from a "been there, done that" perspective.
Thanks, but I try to stay away from DQS...sm
i just never liked that platform and never could get the hang of it. I will stay where I am because I plan on retiring from this profession for good in a few months. :)

We all start out in really crappy jobs, but stay there because it looks good on the resume for a better company. My first place I worked with, I had to work with a guy who had no idea what he was doing, would type just about anything he wanted just to get paid (at that time 7 bucks an hour was big bucks) and when i'd correct him, because it would look bad on me too (there were only two of us per shift in the small room connected to the ER), he'd flip me off behind my back and make faces. It was complete nonsense, but it got me into a better company.
Our QA stay on the same page. Here's how. sm
We give feedback to our MTs on every report that comes through QA. The way our QA staff stays on the same page is to provide feedback to the MTs and we BCC to the other members of QA along with a BCC to the QA manager. We SEE what QA is telling the MTs and if we have a question, we ask amongst ourselves. We stay on the same page. That way, if an MT decides that they want to say a QA person told them something, we all know what was said.
It is a wonderful way to stay on the same page. It also is a great way to help the MTs.
We work with our MTs very closely.
Stay away from SoftScript
Please read further down this board. There are MTs threatening law suits against this company. Not only are they rude, but they promise you the moon and once you start working for them don't deliver. Many of these MTs are complaining about SS stealing their lines. The line counter software shows how many lines you transcribe, but this is not jiving with the pay they are receiving. The QA manager is a totally incompetent ass. Just do yourself a favor and stay away. There are many other companies out there who are good to work for, but not this one.
Stay at home DAD???
Any wives out there have a stay at home dad? Or, any dads out there a stay at home dad? Today is my husband's last day of work (YEAH!!!) I am very happy, he was a branch manager of a huge company and was working 13 to 15 hours a day. We readjusted and got rid of some bills and he QUIT!! I told him to take AT LEAST 2 months off before he even thinks about working again.
Since I work at home, any tips for making him feel great about what he is doing? I happen to know that staying at home with kids is the hardest job in the world and I want him to feel appreciated. Also, I am worried about us getting in each other's hair too much since I stay at home also. Any advice? I know it is kind of a strage situation, but we are very thankful and blessed that we get to do this. He missed out a lot on my 5-year-olds growing up and he doesn't want to miss anymore (we also have a 2-year-old and planning for 2 more within the next 3 to 4 years)
The best stay at home Dad
My hubby stayed home with our 3 kids when our twins were born. Our oldest was 5 when they were born. Since I had the better job, he stayed home with them during the day and worked at night after I got home. He is the best Dad. The twins are now 9 and they all are so close to their Dad. He cooks, cleans, does laundry, take the kids everywhere (the last favorite thing they did was a fishing derby when he left with the kids and all the neighbor kids at 5:30 am). This week they spent a whole day at Grandpa's farm. He even kept 2 other kids when he was a stay at home Dad to earn extra money for groceries. It is wonderful to see how close children can be to their Dad. These are memories they will never forget. So bravo to all the Dads out there that have stayed home with their children. It is not an easy job, but many blessings come with the job.
