Check thru the Cooperative Extension programs in your state. Info might be there. nm

What state requires a breast exam for a driver's license?!?!

check out state
Maybe check out state or federal jobs. That is how I started. I was hired with absolutely no experience to work in a clinic for the state. They then sent me to a local college at night and paid for my education. MQ used to hire from transcription schools. I dont know if they still do. I think I read also where Encompass does. I know Chronicle Transcripts used to as I worked there as lead transcriptionist and used to help train newbies. Good luck!
Check your state
If you do a blind health insurance quote for your state- you should have companies that will come up to browse for insurance cost/premiums. My DH and I couldn't afford insurance through my last job because I would have been out of network, and the cost was so extreme regardless just for me, so I got individual health coverage through HealthPartners in MN. Make sure it is a health insurance, and not a health discount program. Now we pay $277.00/month for both of us - at $750 deductible.
What state are you in -- that you received the check already?
No check here, but does show up in ipay.
What does the attached letter say?
also, check out the laws in your state (sm)
regarding how the landlord should handle your deposit during the time you rented from them. In my state, it must be kept in an escrow account, and the landlord must show proof of this. Also, landlords are liable for lots of routine maintenance on the house/apartment while it is rented. For example, landlords are responsible for painting, replacing miniblinds, cleaning carpets, etc every four years, in the state of Georgia.
Go online and check it out...you could get your money back, plus some! Good Luck! 
Check with state and city
Portland has just decided to require all all I/C's have a business license. Also check with your state to register your business name so you can put it on your checking account, etc. It does cost but if you are a business and run it as a business you pay the the business costs as well as reaping the awards of the tax write off's. But you need to check with your state and city for requirements.
You will need to check your state overtime
laws. In mine (Kentucky) if you work 2 Sundays in a row without a day off, the 2nd Sunday is automatic overtime, no matter if you have 40 hours in for that week or not. Need to check state laws and then with your MTSO. If it is overtime, then they probably would not go for that.
Check with your city and state.
I only found out about the license because the city came by asking me questions about my neighbors running a business out of their home for their investigation. They got caught and had huge fines. I now make sure to stay current on my licenses!
Or maybe check with your state's labor department?
?
Must check your state labor laws
This is what most of them follow is whatever state you live in. I live in a state where you have to get 40 hrs before you can hit OT. No OT for more than an 8-hour day.
But of course, I also live in a state that has $1.95 as its minimum wage still!
Check with your state's Labor Board on #2
.
check state certification requirements
Make sure you check not only how much a program may cost you, but what your state requirements are. I'm in Utah and we are required to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice. There is also a national exam that is supposedly good if you take it, but is get pricey. I took the course locally with a program that included an internship. I personally found the career boring and it didn't pay well enough for me to pursue it, but every state has different pay scales so check into it.
You should have a leg up because you do have to learn and memorize a lot of drug names and what they are for. Also, make sure your basic math skills are good. Mine stunk, so make sure you can remember how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and decimals. Good luck!!!
It all depends on what state you live in and what their laws and requirements are. Check with your

Check into adoption through local Catholic services, fees in our state (Ky) were based on income and
although expensive, not as bad as private adoption. Still, a long wait, we were told.
Couldn't the QA just check the info and just get it done in one instance rather than foward to QC
Just seems a little crazy to me.....
It was for a job, which requires me to ....sm
download ExpressScribe. I am trying to get this on there and it won't let me. To take the test, I have to have this ExpressScibe. So that is why I was trying to do it.
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
If it requires that much knowledge
above the normal they might consider paying a wage for it - starting .07 cpl doesn't exactly scream you're valued for your knowledge.
Editing requires a somewhat different set of SM
talents and skills, Carole. Some make more, some less, depending on that. Also, very important, depending on how the lines edited are being counted compared to the amount of work required--this can vary widely, even within a company depending on which account being worked on.
Excuse me, but VR requires the same
skill as a QA also. It would be exactly like reviewing a report sent to QA as it has to often times be corrected for grammar, punctuation, spelling, words, etc.; just as if an MT had sent it in for a question.
That doesn't even matter if the DOJ only requires your
SSN and address. The criminal background checks aren't coming from the DOJ. The MTSO or national is requiring a criminal background check. That's their prerogative. You either submit to the criminal background check, or you look for work elsewhere. It's that simple. There is NO law requiring background checks. It's not a violation of privacy because you agree to it before it's done. As the other poster said, what's wrong with it if you've got nothing to hide? Many times, you're getting a computer and access to people's private health records. I don't want a criminal having access to my medical records.
Co. requires outdated version...
Trying to get started with Focus and they require Microsoft Office Professional 2003. I cannot get this from a reputable company. They tell me that 2007 is not compatible with their system, but the people from microsoft doesn't see how it couldn't be. Does anyone know a legal and reputable way to get this?
I have 1 year of experience. Does anyone know of another good company that willh hire PT with this experience. Thanks.
But QAing requires much more knowledge
and experience than VR editing. They can hire newbies to do VR editing, but not QA.
If the law requires that a patient's record be
protected by HIPAA, and HIPAA laws have no effect overseas, wouldn't it logically be a violation to send the record overseas?
Only if your city requires it. I work as an IC
and my city does not require a business license for this.
My question is why do you want that kind of pressure in a job that requires you to
work 80 hours a week? If working 80 hours is part of the job at any given time, why would you want it?
Becoming a nurse requires education and certification.
MT does NOT. A flying monkey could become an MT with a little training. Some people make it sound as if we're doing brain surgery here. Honestly, we are glorified typists. Anyone who thinks it's more than that is just trying to feel better about being a medical typist. I get slammed all the time for this opinion, but the harsh reality of it is that this is NOT a difficult field to get into IF you have the proper skills. Don't slam someone for being a nurse and wanting to transition to MT. She has more education and certification in the medical field than we do. As long as she has good grammar, spelling, research, and typing skills, SHE WILL DO GREAT!!!! Why do people have to be so egotistical and negative on these boards? We ought to encourage newbies getting into the field instead of telling them it's too difficult or they aren't qualified. Hey, let's just alienate all the newbies and send the work overseas to people who don't have EFL skills.
You need Microsoft's Word. It is a program that requires
installation. The account sounds good at 13/cent a line. Better invest in Word (costs a bit) unless you have a kind friend who will share theirs with you.
PA requires you to charge sales tax on your work...
if you send your completed work to a MT company or doctor within PA. However, I send my work out of state, so I don't have to charge sales tax and I don't need a license. I had asked someone at one of the companies I IC for and she said that she had heard of that before from one of the other girls. When I lived in WA state, I had a business license from the state and had to file every year. The sales tax thing was a real shock to hear at first!
This is a very serious situation that requires medical attention
Believe me, it will be worth it. You need a slow steady six month wean off that powerful medication or your body could possibly seize up with an abrupt withdrawal - and that needs to be monitored by people who can help you.
I took Klonopin rx'ed for a year to help me sleep. When stress factor was removed, I tried to stop it and nearly went crazy literally. It sends you into a state that is highly agitated and your thought process is also going to be useless (you need to be with people whom you are safe with, people who know you). Tinnitus is one symptom that I experienced which was at a high decibel. Had I the ability to get away from work, I'd have gone into detox but instead, i cut pills up over six month period and weaned - even with the wean, you see, it is nearly unbearable. Oxycontin is being considered to be pulled off the shelf because of its highly addictive nature. When prescribed for over a two week period, providers should tell a patient what to expect when they want to stop the med; had I known, I would never have taken it. In the end, I appeared to be a drug-seeking individual when I was only in a state of anxiety due to the state my body and mind was in and could not tolerate it - leading me to beg for just one more prscription to get me off that monster of a drug.
Please, find another physician, possibly a psychiatrist as they are familiar with this, and get a regimen that will cause the least symptoms if you cannot go into a 30 day detox program.
I need help in MS Word. I have a new doc that requires almost every page to have different margins.
I used to have an account that we could type Control and L and that would make a page break with the margins for a letter. I don't know how to create this. I looked into macros in Word and am totally confused and have no idea what to do.
Can anyone help me figuer out a way I can assign Control and L for the letter margins and control P for progress note margins. I'd really appreciate any help
The plural minutes requires "were". If he had said....sm
A period of 45 minutes (the singular period would be the subject thus requiring was). Also, it would be the possessive Dr. Smith's
This won't keep records in the US. It only requires "written notice" - sm
I support this law, but only because it's the only game in town on this issue. It does not prevent private information from going offshore.
The "written notice" will be buried in the legal gibberish of patient privacy notification forms that they're required to sign - in Section 18, subsection 49, paragraph M, subparagraph 27. And, it will be expressed in terms that sound a lot better than sending your information to Bangladesh.
Ditto, credit cards. This notice will come in one of those gosh-awful "notice of changes to your account" things that we get from time to time and that no one can comprehend.
As a matter of fact, this law might actually cause more records to go offshore because it presumably provides "cover" for any company that complies with this extremely weak requirement ("notice"). All they gotta do is sling some of legalese past you, buried in pages and pages of other legalese, and they're home free.
Where I work requires average of 1200
lines per day for a 2-week period.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
I won't work for a company that requires me to pay long distance
After getting reamed over by one MTSO who verbally promised to pay my unlimited long distance bill and didn't. I have no use for long distance because I use an inexpensive calling card or the Internet.
Company requires a C-phone. Will a Lanier Lx-219 work as well? sm
What is the difference in a Dictaphone, C-phone, Lanier LX-219 and Lanier Expresswriter or Voicewriter?
Thanks!
Vonages requires high speed internet...
so you would need either DSL/cable or broadband. I have broadband and hooked up to Vonage for 2 months for C-phone use. The audio quality was frequently poor and I would have to reboot. Some days I would just hook up to my home phone line to avoid the hassle. The kicker was when I went to disconnect this month, they charged me $97 TO CANCEL! Its all in the fine print, apparently.
My audio problems may well have had to do with broadband/satellite service more than anything. If you have cable/DSL it may be worth a shot, but know that if you cancel after their 30-day trial you are going to pay! 
A macro shortcut requires that you strike 2 or more keys. nm

Might need to mail her a letter from a lawyer that requires a signature and take some action. nm

It's a one-trick pony that requires us to sit on our butts on auto-pilot all day
Yeah, we do need to know terminology and how to use a computer to locate information, but every job has specifics that are required. How extensive is the knowledge we need if you think about it? We do the same thing every day, every month, every year like a hamster running in a wheel to nowhere.
Agree! Board is like chatting. Work requires more brain cells.

PT position requires Lanier dictaphone but I have VDI 3006 Digital SuperStation
Can I use a VDI 3006 Digital SuperStation when the job calls for Lanier dictaphone? I read a post that said Super Station could be used in place of Lanier but not the other way around.
And, if not...Do you think I should purchase a Lanier Dictaphone in order to get a PT job which sounds promising? It would be a fast return on my investment and I could use it in the future.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

Check the connections from where the cable originates to wear it comes into the house. Also check t
had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible. The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.
