Good for you...i am moving on as well...
I decided to go back to school!
I use Pledge Mutli-Surface
It can also be used on wood but it seems to leave a residue on my furniture so I only use it on glass & electronics. Has a nice scent too.
Cleaning up after one's self and cleaning up after strangers are two different issues
Nice try though
Maybe some Windex or Pledge All-Surface wipes always at the ready? Might be able to use car wax on

Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Cleaning
Why do you do this? If a dish is left on the counter above the dishwasher, I call the guilty party to the kitchen and make them put it in the dishwasher. I will even call them to come home from a friends house to do this. The guilty party has to be responsible for their own mess. I have even gotten the kids out of bed, to pick-up after themselves. Believe me, doing this just a few times works wonders for getting them to be responsible for their own messes. Also, my kids have chores, including running the vacuum, that they have to do. A lot of my friends say it is just so much easier to do it themselves and at first, it is. But the kids will never learn to do it right if they don't start somewhere. Even if you have them do it initially and then you go over it, after they go to bed, and do it a little better, they have to start somewhere. You can only be used as a maid if you let yourself be used that way.
how about cleaning
up for small businesses/offices/clinics. You might know of somebody in your town who can give you a referral. Somebody from church maybe?
Thank you for the instructions. I will try that! nm

Instructions -sm
This is for WORD 2003. Just follow the steps EXACTLY as outlined.
1. Open a plain word document and type your ??. (A couple of sets with one set per line).
2. Go to Tools>Macro>Record New Macro
3. Name your Macro (type it in the box) Mine is named "jump". (Make sure in the second box, it says NORMAL template or normal.dot.)
4. Click the Keyboard button - choose the keyboad combination you want to use (I use ALT+J) Click Assign.
5. You should see a little button floating around that looks like a tape somewhere on your screen. Don't touch it yet. Instead, Go to Edit>Find and type in ??.
6. Hit find next (you should be seeing your ?? being highlighted while you are doing this.) Click the cancel button on that same window.
7. Go to Tools>Macro>stop recording.
Type in a few ?? sets and hit your shortcut combination to make sure it works.
If you have trouble with this, feel free to e-mail. I make these all the time. :)
Instructions
If you set a tap stop where you want the DOB on the same line you should be okay. In sounds like there are spaces there instead. Set your tab point by clicking on the ruler at the top. Retype your patient title then tab and put the DOB title. If this does not work, feel free to email. I am workin all day. :)
there are instructions
in the system on how to do this.
I'm sure most of you get instructions like this
from your employers:
The BOS is to be followed, except when it differs from this company's style guide and except when also not in conflict with the site specific information of the client.
So, you check the site notes from the hospital and if the question is not answered there, you check your company's style guide, and then if there is still no answer you do what the BOS says to do.
Does this make any sense? Making us consult three different references for the answer to one simple question? Do the MTs in Indiastan have to do this? Or do they get a pass because they work so cheap?
First I will be cleaning like a madwoman
because my in-laws are coming. I think we will have a traditional family barbecue and maybe head to the beach.
cleaning sofa
I have a white sofa and have cleaned it myself many times. You can rent a Rug Doctor with an upholstery attachment and it is really powerful. Your sofa will hardly be even damp when you finish. You can use regular upholstery cleaner in the Rug Doctor or sometimes I use Simply Green. Try the Rug Doctor. It really works. Linda.
cleaning keyboard
Gosh, I cant believe you did that and it didnt destroy your keyboard! I know in the past when I have even dropped a minute amount of water on my keyboard the keys would no longer work. I am always afraid of having water near my keyboard so much so that when I work, I keep my soda glass way on the other side of the keyboard. I know there is a spray to clean the keyboard as my previous boss woiuld use it constantly. I would probably go with that as with my luck over the past five years or so, I dont want to *rock the boat*, ya know? :o)
Don't need to be cleaning no trailer.
Y'all can jist haul it off and git you a new one iffen it gets dirty.
I'd have taken pictures when you were done cleaning.
They just think they can rip you off. They obviously didn't have to clean a darned thing! (And I don't even know you, but believe your description of things) :)
cleaning for businesses
Definitely pays more and there is less grunge to clean. You vacuum, empty trash cans and easy. Probaby depending on the size of the office, good money
friends of mine pay house cleaners once or twice a week, $75 for half a day.. the hispanics do about 2 or three hours and leave to another job.
KEYBOARD CLEANING
I shake it out upside down, used canned air, and wipe with an alcohol wipe. I kill about one keyboard a year, so it doesn't have much time to get too dirty.
cleaning house
We have a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom house, about 1600 sq. ft. and I have my girl come every other week and pay her 30.00, she's here for 2 hours I've had her for about 8 years now. She's like a daughter to me. Hope this helps.

Faux fur cleaning
Looking for solutions to cleaning a faux fur duvet cover, says to dry clean by fur method only, no one does that in my area, has to be sent away and would cost me $80, only paid $100 for it, so that is out of the question. Any one ever clean one on gentle cycle in cold water before and what were your results, no drying?
I definitely would have gone into CARPET CLEANING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carpet cleaning is an incredibly lucrative industry and wish I went into that 25 years ago. I got into transcription to get out of bagging groceries. It quite a change for me. But sad to say, I got burned in many different ways in this particular field (transcription). I love doing pathology though. But believe me, I have found that people are much quicker to pay for cleaning services than anything else. Making between 17 and 30 grand a year is ok, but in carpet cleaning, a guy/girl can make at least 50 grand on his/her own first year out. This is no joke nor is it an insult to the transcription industry. Just a comparison. Regrets? yeah, some. But it seems to me that no matter how old you are, if you have the ambition and desire, it's never too late to start over again.
Cleaning your screen
Never use windex it will mess up the screen and good. Water is okay, but not the best. I use Klear screen. You can order it on e-bay fairly cheep. It is recommended by all computer industries for both laptops and regular desktop screens. It is awesome.
Have you tried cleaning the heads?
Check the printer software for an option to do that and/or diagnostic tool.
Moving to AZ...sm
I tried posting this on the state boards but there is no activity there, so I am posting here.
Thinking about moving to Arizona next year. Somewhere around the Goodyear, Surprise, Litchfield Park area. Love Estrella Ranch but it is just a tad too pricey for what we want to spend. Anybody from Arizona care to share if there are other communities similar to Estrella Ranch? Where are the best schools for high school and middle school? good, bad and ugly would be great.
Thanks
Considering moving on from MT to QA at MQ and
 am wondering how that works. If you're in QA, do you ONLY do QA work? Or do you also do transcription?
I ask because when I receive updates from my office, and it shows which MTs and which QA's are currently working, sometimes there are NO REPORTS in QA, and it makes me wonder if those folks just sit there until something comes along, or do they do something else in the meantime?
No one to ask this evening so thought I'd ask here. Thanks!
lol thats it? lol moving on....

Moving up sm
I know that most places, this is the luck of the draw to find a management position. I have experience doing it and I can't get a job to be able to do it again, and honestly I don't know that I would want to at this point. I was a wonderful manager, as far as my MTs were concerned, but it is not my forte' in this business and I didn't particularly enjoy it. I found it pretty thankless all the way around, from the QA to trying to motivate a good MT to work more and try to teach a poor MT how to do a better job, assigning work, taking STAT reports in the middle of the night which I was not supposed to type myself, but usually did because I am not going to call someone at 3 a.m.!!! Yuck.
As far as MTing goes, I am a better than average MT and I know what I am doing. I can get in, get it done and get out to take care of my life. It doesn't have to encroach on my free time. I didn't find this true when I was manager, there was no free time. I make substantially better money with about one-third of the hours.
Also, in order to get in on one of these management positions, I think you need to distinguish yourself as an outstanding MT. Now, if you do that, they will notice you, but they will not promote you because you are now too valuable as an MT. This is the situation I was recently in in. My last job I was told I would *never* be considered for QA or management because of my MT skills. I was consistently in the top 3 production wise, my QA numbers were well below 5% and my accuracy on audits was over 99%. I was just too good for it. You are darned if you and darned if you don't.
Then again, my goal was never to manage, it was to be an excellent MT. I think as it is your goal, you should go for it. You might consider taking some management courses at a local community college so you can put that on your resume too. If you have anything that could be considered management experience, make the most of it. Be valuable to your company, but not too valuable! LOL
Still not moving - sm
I tried both suggestions, but neither moved the "file through help" portion back to the horizontal toolbar - still vertical on the left side of the page.
thank you for trying...
NSS: Here's the macro instructions
In a Word document, type a few words, like a diagnosis on a line. Leave your cursor at the end of the line.
Click TOOLS, MACRO, RECORD NEW
A window called Record Macro pops up. I suggest you put a name in the "Macro Name" field. (Hint: No spaces allowed in the name.)
Click KEYBOARD to assign it to the keyboard.
A window called "Customize Keyboard" pops up. In the field "press new shortcut key", press what you want as the shortcut. (Hint: I use ALT+N so I can remember it for numbering.) That key combination you type should populate that field.
Click ASSIGN, CLOSE
You will be back at your document (your cursor still at the end of the line of text you typed) and there will be a small window called "Stop" that has a solid square (the STOP RECORDING button) and another symbol (PAUSE RECORDING button). At this point, every single thing you do is being recorded!
Press the HOME key (to put cursor at the beginning of the line).
Press the 1. keys and space twice (or however many times you space between your number/period for your account).
Press the END key (to return cursor to end of the line of text).
Press the RETURN key.
Press the 2. keys and space twice (or, again, however many spaces you put between your number/period for your account).
Click the STOP RECORDING button in the little window.
Your macro is complete. I suggest you try it out. Skip down a few lines and type a line of text. At the end of that text, hit your macro shortcut. It should run (you won't see it do anything but make the changes you recorded) and automatically go to the beginning of the line, number it as 1 with a period and spaces, and return at the end of your text and start the number 2, period, spaces and be ready for more text!! Email me if you have problems.
NOTE: This will only work if the text you type is only 1 line long. If it word-wraps to a second line, this will not work...you will just have to manually return to the beginning of the line and number.
More ideas for building macros, at least the ones I use most:
-- macro to increase the zoom to a certain percentage (I use 110%)
-- macro to scroll down 1 frame or page
-- macro to copy the preoperative diagnosis heading, the 1-line text below it, return a line blank and type postoperative diagnosis heading and paste (for when the dictation is for "postoperative diagnosis same"). I use ALT+; for postoperative diagnosis and ALT+' for postop diagnosis
-- macro to copy the physician names/credentials in the signature block and search for the header for SURGEON and fill it in, putting it in all capitals, etc.
Just a handful of ideas I use. Hope these help.
I think you can d/l instructions from their web site. NM
.
Instructions inside (sm)
You have to right arrow on HISTORY when you are completely finished your report (it's in the demographic screen). This will sign this report to you, it adds your initials and that way no one can go in and get credit for it. Hope this helps.
Can't you post the instructions here instead

And if you read the instructions (sm)
it will tell you that you cannot use that to file with.
Doc asking for instructions on dictation
A wounderful young man at my church is in his 2nd year of general surgery residency. When he found out what I did for a living, he asked me if I would please help him with his dictation and give him some pointers so that he could do better on his dictation. No one had critiqued him and he wanted to be sure it was o.k. Now THAT'S a good guy. He's a good Christian, he'll be a good doctor, and I know he won't ever change. You cynical so and so's just keep your opinion to yourselves. This was so refreshing to be asked for help like this. It made my day.
Meditech instructions
Could someone be nice enough to help me find some instructions for shortcuts or commands in Meditech. I have asked employer and only get a few basic ones. Where can I look?
So, did my instructions work?

I sent you email with instructions

Instructions ...see inside
Go to Tools, Templates and Add Ins. Click Add. Browse and select support.doc (Program filesMicrosoft officeoffice 11Macros folder) Click OK twice. Then to run it, choose tools, Macros, Macros. In the drop-down box choose support.dot. In the Macro Name box choose AutoCorrect Backup. Click Run and then backup. Then save it as whatever you want.
To put in on the next system, run the utility the same way to get the support.doc and instead of clicking backup, click restore. Check your entries because some may not be completely the same depending upon how you have them set up. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail
Part # and instructions.
This site, option #3 will give instructions, part # you need. (From Radioshack)
http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/pedals.html
I have a nice set of instructions in PDF...
that includes diagrams! The plug in for phone is rear left on the bottom. If you would like me to send you the PDF file of C-phone instructions I would be glad to, just e-mail me.
Some detailed instructions for you. sm
I believe I understand what you're trying to do. Try following these steps.
Open a new blank document and set the margins as you've been instructed (File, Page Setup, Margins). Next, click on the tab for Layout. Make sure Section starts has New Page in the box. In the next section, Headers and Footers, make sure none of the boxes are checked. Change the measurement from edge for the Header to 1". In the Page Section for vertical layout choose Center. In Preview Section make sure that Whole Document is selected. Click OK.
Now, Go to View, Headers/Footers. Type the information that you want into the Header area. Don't worry that it looks like the Header area is larger than it should be; it will shrink as your letter grows. Save this as a document template (.dot)
Now, whenever you use this template, just type your first letter, use Ctrl+Enter to go to the next letter/page. The Header information will show at the top of each page and each letter will be centered on the page for you.
Read the instructions doc that was sent to you.
It gives detailed instructions of what to do. Sounds like you only read the first half of it if you actually got the test files.
I did read instructions....
I did read the instructions, thank you. I downloaded the PlayAll player also, but my footpedal that I use for Olympus player is not working for the PlayAll player. I can play it by starting and stopping it with the keyboard, but I would prefer using my pedal.
One file has an extension “.ofc” This is an actual work file. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THIS WITH A CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE. You must download this file to the .wav player software and open it with the PlayallX or the software you already have.
The file “playallx.zip” is a zipped file that will open the software to play our compressed digital work. This is necessary if your .wav player will not open the compressed file with the extension .ofc. PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY.
This is like the "stupid" instructions on...
products like shampoo and hairdryers. Even though it seems stupid to us that they are pointing out "rinse after lathering" or "do not submerse in water"...the fact that it is on there is likely due to the fact that someone somewhere in this crazy world actually did it..and might have even tried to sue them for not telling them not to. I've been an MT for 15 years. And from your post I knew what DEXA was because I type radiology. I had no clue what pallor was. If I did clinic notes I would probably have known. It's all in what you're familiar with. So the other poster is right...if he's spelling it, it's probably because he knows a newbie is on the account or he's already had to correct it himself on a previous report.
To the original poster, don't feel like it's whining. That's completely understandable. I get frustrated over the same thing too. The docs sometimes spell a word that they have got to know we use all the time...but do you think they would spell a referring doctor's name that they could hardly pronounce themselves? Uhhhhh no!  So yeah, it is funny and frustrating at times what they think we need help with and we all need to vent sometimes.
I just e-mailed you with instructions
for the AutoText entries. You cannot use outside programs (text expanders, shorthand, etc.) with InScribe. It's kind of a long process to add AutoText, so I save up 25 or 30 and enter them all at once, usually.
C-phone instructions
I've got the PDF file with everything, so if you need them ... just post a message and I'll be in touch with 24 hours.
