That's true. My parents refused to fill out the FAFSA

In Reply to: At recent financial aid seminar, I was told... - MT back to school
because they weren't going to help me go to college at all. The school counselor just blew me off after hearing that. They wouldn't even talk to me at all and I couldn't qualify for anything on my own without my parents filling out that stupid form. "Adult" children are considered dependents by the government for financial aid considerations until they are either 22, have been married for a year, or have children. I was 18 and a high school graduate but still couldn't afford to go to college working two part-time jobs for a total of 50 hours per week. I wasn't able to go to college until after I was married with two kids to qualify for student loans.

FAFSA EFC
Isn't it amazing how FAFSA does not take into consideration any medical expenses or unusual circumstances? After playing that game for a year, I contacted my Congressman and was told to take documentation to the school financial aid office (who had previously told me there was nothing they could do to offer further assistance) and they would have to figure our EFC again. Because my husband has a rare neurological disease, our medical expenses are horrendous. We also have a dyslexic child in a special private school, which the IRS allows us to deduct as a medical expense. When these figures were deducted from our income, our son qualified for an additional $3000 per year in grants that did not have to be paid back.
Not all of us are parents. Not everyone had caring parents. nm,

Don't blame you - I refused also.

Never actually refused to do one doctor out of many, SM
Usually they're just part of the averaging out, and I've never had an account where I couldn't make acceptable money.
A few times when one was truly consistently horrible I just started sending all those reports to QA with masses of blanks, rather than fighting to fill them in as much as possible. The forwarded reports from someone who tries to send as little as possible to QA, and the intensive work they require, hopefully spoke for themselves to someone closer than I am to the people who have to stroke and handle the clients. At least I never had anyone fuss at me for it. To the contrary, my employers usually want as little time as possible wasted in struggle instead of production.
Speaking of stroking clients, thank goodness I don't have THAT job in these days of scrambling to somehow hold onto accounts...
Maybe if we all refused to do cruddy Dr, they

Has anyone ever refused to do an account or doc? sm
I am so frustrated and pulling my hair out here. I do editing for 0.03 cpl for my MTSO but I also have my own docs straight typing and make good money from same MTSO. My problem is the editing. I am not just filling in blanks. I am basically having to retype half of the reports. I mean the names are not even correct even though they get patient lists. It is such a waste of my time and money as I may be earning max of $10/hr off the editing, yet my other good money making accounts get behind. I want to say I can't do the editing anymore or pay me more, but I am worried about risking my good accounts if I do so. Anyone been in this situation before and how did it turn out? Any suggestions for me?
I agree. I have already refused to do it.
It is never going to work. The MTSOs should at least make sure that the MTs can use their bloody systems and make money on it BEFORE cutting their pay. Most of the ASR systems I have worked on are a complete joke! However, it is not funny when the joke is being perpetrated against your paycheck.
The only way to fight VR is to refuse to be used to train it to further cut your pay :-(
I agree! I just refused a job with a company because
the tech didn't do what he was supposed to do for my computer to work with their software and then got extremely upset with me when I questioned him about it. He told me that if I had used their computer, these problems wouldn't have happened and it would have been so much easier and better for HIM! So much for support for the MTs. I guess we should all acquiesce to what is best for tech support and help to make their lives easier, not the other way around.
I'd inform the boss of this and if he refused
to pay, I'd turn him in to the labor board and then I'd quit but just like MT world there will always be someone willing to work for free thus nothing ever changes with making employers do the right thing.
Well, Saddam refused to allow the UN weapon inspectors to come in and
look for WMD's. This problem just didn't come up in recent years. These evil nasty my way or the highway countries have been causing trouble for millenia and will continue to do so until something is done about them - and done right. If you don't mind living under threat of terrorism, go ahead and sing your Girl Scout songs. Clinton didn't do squat regarding the Middle East. He didn't want to and he didn't know how to, so he chose to ignore it instead.
If a job can be rejected, refused, or hung up on, it's being cherrypicked. nm

No, my turkey is still in my freezer. I refused to cook this year.
I'm either going to cook it at Christmastime or slap some Cajun sauce on it and BBQ when the 18" of snow melts.
The national I worked for refused to pay mine when I decided to move on for better pay.
Hope it works out for you!
maybe just let them fill it in?
It's a long blank for just time ???
I think she has probably just had her fill
More than hate sounds like she has had 1 too many ESLs to listen to. Know 1 plenty, every report time after time is a little much. I csn understand the feeling, some.
Can someone fill me in?
Where is the new site/what transpired?
If you're trying to fill several
positions, why don't you list the name of your company? If you had a company you wouldn't be on this board trying to get someone to type 3 reports. Why don't you let one of your current transcriptionists type them. YA BIG FAT LIAR!
I MISSED IT-CAN YOU FILL ME IN?

Fill us in, we are in the dark...sm
What are you talking about, I am lost and am a Country fan.
Fill in work
I occasionally do fill-in opticianry work for local eye doctors.
We do have our QA fill in names & addresses
All of our clients provide us names and addresses of referring physicians. Our QA maintains the lists, and we only ask that our MTs spell them phonetically. QA then corrects any mistakes.
As far as patient names, some doctors spell them for us and some do not. For those that don't, they get their reports back with their patient names spelled phonetically, and it's up to them to correct any mistakes.
Fill in the blank: You know you're getting old when....sm
1. For me, when a person I used to babysit from infancy until school age has completed his internal medicine residency and is in a private medical practice.
2. When I get up in the morning my knees and back crack so much that you can hear them at times in the next room (daughter asks "what's that cracking noise" will confirm this!)
But where in the world do you find someone to fill in? nm
:{
don't care for it. too many fields to fill
in because it seems like the demo's are never there and of course you don't get paid for that, then you have to wait for extra screens to come up before you can select the dr/cc/patient name/etc. there's no way to drop the normals in directly without using the menu, the Expander is more hassel than good. it's straight forward to use but I feel it is a slow process since you can't just start typing without filling in numerous fields.
FILL OUT THE FASA-YOU WILL BE SUPRISED
Make sure you fill out those FASA forms and private colleges want the Profile which helps. When my daughter was applying three years ago to college. I told her that she would have to take out student loans. She was looking into college at 40,000 a year. We filled out the FASA and profile. She is now going to a $35,000 a year college and we are only responsible for $13,000. She is on grants and scholarships. She still is taking out loans because she is a nursing student and her income will be greater than mine and my husband together. My 18 year old who is looking in colleges will have to do the same. I put braces on their teeth, paid for dancing, sports, activities, illnesses that we did not expect. I feel we gave them everything they needed and if they want to go college bad enough they will. My daughter has a 4.0 GPA. She had a 3.4 in High School We are there to support, we pay for car repairs, give her money for clothes etc. She is also on workstudy which gives her $50.00 a week spending money. Don't let the college tuitions scare you until you fill out those forms.
I had to miss it last night..Please fill me in?
I know who got voted off last night, but the radio station I listen to while driving to work was talking about how "drunk" Paula was last night and how she was making really off-the-wall comments. Boy, sounds like I really missed something! Did any of you feel like she was on something or drinking too much?
HA!! This sure would fill her time, wouldn't it?

Yes, it will get buggy like that as you fill it up with entries sm
It's time to think of buying a real expander. My recommendation is Shorthand. They have a web site where you can purchase it. It is a wonderful program, much better than the autocorrect/autotext.
A shift differencial would help fill some of

Me too! Working at home, I fill up every 2 wks.

I haven't had to fill up in a couple of weeks.
I don't go anywhere too often during the summer or I ride my bike. I think it's about $2.29 for the cheap stuff.
It would be just as arbitrary to penalize QA for not being able to fill in the blank. (sm)
The assumption is that all blanks are understandable. They are not.
Classy my ____--you fill in the blank....
--I saw the clip of Walters announcing Jones' failure to return. That was very practiced and classy, I'll hand her that; but then she's had lots of experience and people to help her craft such an announcement.
--I also saw the King show when Jones talked about what had been going on and why she did what she did. I thought that hat was very classy as well. Her being a lawyer certainly helped her craft her statement.
--Overall, I totally believe Jones' accounting of what happened, when, where, why and who knew what and who knew it when. She was quite clear, her timeline precise.
Her reasons for handling her announcement at the time and in the way that she did also made perfect sense if you listened to her closely and carefully.
I was in her situation once--unfairly "let go" and for totally bogus reasons from a large local San Francisco, CA, foundation.
I was told that I could tell anyone at the foundation anything I liked about my departure.
I was in shock at what had just happened, left my supervisor's office, wandered into the kitchen for something to eat/drink.
A co-worker (high level staff) was there and I spoke to him that I had just been let go. We talked briefly, he offered his sympathy.
After he left the room, my supervisor swooped in, telling me that it was not a good idea to talk about it the way I did...blah, blah, blah....she could only have been in the hallway, listening at the door.
Yeah, Walters, et. al. did do what Jones said they did. And the way Walters handled everything did indeed look "classy"--with time, experience, and help, how could Walters go wrong?
Jones told the truth from start to finish on King's show and the View Crew and network couldn't/wouldn't handle it and did not want to face the fall out; and, they didn't want to lose face.
The further complicating problem was that as a public personality, Jones had additional public outlets to tell the truth.
IF Walters had: Simply kept her mouth shut, just weathered Jones' early initial announcement on air that day, deferred all questions of why Jones' contract had not been renewed to Jones' (citing privacy and confidentiality), responding to all askers with a 'no comment', and referring all explanations to Jones'she wouldn't be in the uncomfortable position she is in now. Walters would not have been so exposed, AND she would not have needed to get to Larry King in advance to cover her ____, to explain anything, and trying to look good, thereby maintaining her "classy" reputation.
Yeah, it was a business decision all right, handled badly and then it came back to bite Walters, et. al. in the butt.
Whether you like Jones or not, she chose to tell the truth and, as such, she had nothing to hide. Brava.
We DO listen to the dictation! How else would we fill in blanks?

How do you fill out forms in Adobe Reader 8.
I am referring an MT to a company I work for and to get the referral bonus I have to fill out this form in Adobe Reader and E-mail it to HR. Well, I don't know how to do that. One friend said to copy it in Word and fill it out that way. It won't let me do that.
The actual operation you're performing is Fill Down.
I should have mentioned that before. It's a shortcut that eliminates the need to copy and paste. It's one of many and is located under the Edit menu. For example, series can be used to increase in increments, like for dates.
I prefer no templates. It is easier to tx as we go rather than jump around, fill-in and delete. nm

I don't know if Ephedra will make your UDS positive, but usually you fill out a form listing any
medications you might be taking and I always thought the purpose of that was rule out false positives. 
QA works on quota. Frankly, they don't try that hard, either, to fill in the blanks.

I have to disagree. Most hospitals have migrated to EMR & RNs are able to fill in online forms
My husband is an RN at an acute care facility and he loves his job. He has dual majors. One in computer science and the other in Nursing. He decided he didn't want to sit behind a desk plinking on a computer all day and really wanted to do something with his life that would help people. Being an RN is not just about the money, it is about caring for those in need. Seriously, think about the reasons you would be entering the nursing field. If it's just about money, you'll be disappointed. However, if you are the type of person who likes caring for others, then by all means, go for it. All the best!
Depending on sound quality, lookups, fill-ins, ESLs, that's

Fill in the blank time! Today I feel ______ (for me it's good)...sm
Good work day so far, kids will be home from school in a couple of hours and the weather is nice outside.
Whenever one of my coworkers asks me to listen to a report and fill in the blanks or make SM
corrections, I always put my initials on the report right after hers and I expect anyone who goes into any of my reports to make a correction to do the same and that includes QA people. Where I work, the transcription clerk will put her initials in a report even if she just had to go into the report and delete a blank line to make the report upload correctly. She puts an asterisk by her initials to let us know that she didn't make any changes to the text, just made adjustments for uploading purposes.
I've been told at other jobs by the QA bunch that whatever software we use automatically keeps a virtual record of each person who accesses a report, but I just like knowing who else has messed with my report. I can't tell you how many times when I worked in the office, an irate doctor has come in saying "who's LN" or "who's RB". So if QA went into the report and changed something, I want the doctor to see their initials too.
Yeah, we have no skills or intelligence whatsoever. We just fill in blanks! Geez! A monkey can le
Is that all you do, type? It's not all I do either. I have to know what I'm talking about, apparently you don't because you can just leave blanks!
My parents use it
I can't help you with the pre-exisiting conditions question, but my parents use AARP for all of their insurance needs. They saved a lot of money when they switched and have been very happy with them.
I don't think that her parents did it, but I do think..sm
that they are covering up for the person who did it (maybe the brother).
Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!
