Why are you asking? I am about to jump ship here too
A post today was taken off twice for no reason really. They blanked out places just because I was asking about what company now did so and so work. I worked for the hospital before and wanted to hook up again. They are being overboard on these matters.
Tell that to the cruise ship industry.

I didn't have to pay to ship the computer.
I had no problems with the people I worked with. The work was easy, and I always had very high QA scores. I left because the work kept running out and they don't pay much at all, although hardly anyone does. If you get an offer, look at the benefits before you decide. Personally, I'm done with nationals, but Amphion is probably not any worse than the rest of them.
40k here as employee, but ship sunk
I just jumped ship from a large national after my account converted to SR. I had made 41K the previous year, and that with very little overtime. I knew that with the conversion to SR my income would drop drastically, so I left for another company. It will take me a bit to build back up to the 40K+ level, but I know I will. The name of the game for me is expanders!
Unionization WILL NOT ship jobs
If American MTs were to unionize today..jobs would not magically clear up and go overseas. Why?? Because if Cbay, MedQ and other large MTSO do not need the threat of a union to ship jobs overseas...if they had the manpower set up (as they are busily trying to do....training the little Indian people as quick as they can to decipher american medical language...most likely very poorly)....then these jobs would be gone now... We do not have jobs because we are not unionized. we havwe jobs because at this point in time..India, Philippines and any other third world country they can set up their server is not able to handle all of US transcription.
If we were able to form a union....the first order of business would be severely limit the amount of transcriptinon that goes overseas...as well as provide informed consent to the docs, hospitals, and clinics that their dictation is going overseas... Also..I would demand to see examples of transcription provided by these third world countries. I would also demand ASR is paid NO LESS than 20% of an MT Line rate and I would ensure cost of living raises just like every other industry. I also would dismantle the worthless AAMT as their only purpose is to sell exhibit space to MTSO. They have historically servied the MTSO...NOT the individual transcriptionist...
Transcription... sinking ship?
Is it just me or does it seem like every hospital everywhere is outsourcing their transcription??? Has anybody in the transcription field changed careers or have thought about changing careers??? I am thinking about going to college for x-ray tech if my hospital gets outsourced. I was going to go to another hospital, but I am scared of being outsourced yet once again. Can I get you guys thoughts on this??? Is anybody else feeling down and out about this field for a career??? I hate I am having these dreary thoughts, but it is just disheartening to me to see how this is affecting alot of people.
Staying on board a sinking ship
I worked at a different company in an unrelated field where all the employees were required (not requested) to take a 15% pay cut and receive stock options in return. I left. Others chose to stay with the company and told me I was crazy to leave; I would "never" earn as much money elsewhere. I thought they were crazy to stay and said so. The older employees said they had to stay or lose their pension. Well, the company went under anyway, the stock was (of course) worthless, and the pension fund had long since been looted by the major shareholders. Staying on board a sinking ship of a job may be more comfortable but not in your overall best economic interests.
Staying on board a sinking ship..maybe
I forgot to add that if you are making top pay at that company and the 1 cent per line pay cut is still better than you would earn elsewhere, it may well be in your best interests to stay on board that ship patching and bailing (grin) but still being mindful that the ship may go under suddenly.
Might also be a good idea to ship the equipment

Jan, it has been great exchanging information with you - thanks and I hope your ship comes in soon

Cruised Mediterrean in 60 passage cruise ship
South of France, great food, great wine, wonderful shopping, ancient ruins, Michaleangelo, so much more. Well worth 10 grand.
My sister makes Clipper Ship Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Milk chocolate chips, sometimes toasted pecans, and varies between Grand Marnier or sometimes Amaretto in them!
Oooooooooo!!!! Large cookies, and fresh baked with a glass of super cold milk!
Now my mouth is watering! LOL
Jumping in here .....
But I just wanted to say that I know very well where both Rome and Douglasville are -- I'm in Cedartown !!
JUMPING
Change your macro or Expander to include a destructive backspace.
jumping
Also, if you do not use those fields to type on you can simply hit Alt + A then ctrl + shift + F9 and it will turn all the field codes to test instead of having to go delete them all.
No hoop jumping
I said nothing about specific companies, nothing about cpl. It was mentioned having to sit for days with no work and to that I say, then why stay? Keep one job while you look for another, but there is no reason to stay with a company that has no work. And while we are at it, why do so many people say "Tell me a good company that pays well." Do you want someone else to write your resume and do the work for you, too. Check out ALL the MT boards, Google for jobs, send out resumes, make phone calls. As has been said a million times on this board, a good job for one will not necessarily be a good job for another. Just don't sit staring at an empty screen, waiting for the MT fairy to drop jobs in your lap. Last I heard, her job was sent to India.
Jumping in topic....
A third of my work is radiology and the rest is basic four reports. I prefer doing rad because of the fast pace. It's a small hospital with a rotating doctor and I do anywhere from 50 to 150 (this is not counting combined reports) reports a day which only takes a couple of hours of my day. Would really like to do more rad but afraid of the committment it would mean. Any suggestions?
Ctl + F9 works for me, then F11 does the jumping
Have you taken MT courses yet? Or are you just jumping in on your own? nm

You are right. I guess I'm jumping the gun. It
just really upset me. I'll be shocked if it's NOT true, but stranger things have happened. Time will tell.
I'm jumping in a day late.
I just wanted to second that dogs don't do well with berber. My dog loosened one loop while chewing/playing with something (I can't remember whether it was a treat or toy). When he realized what he'd done, he then proceeded to pull it until I had a huge run in the carpet dead center in the room. We've never had behavior problems with him since we got him, but he didn't know any better and kept right on going. I vowed never to get berber again after that.
jumping around in word doc
Is there anyway that you can jump around in a word document? Meaning say if i have a template set up with all these headings is there a way just to put a * or something after the heading and be able to hit shortcut keys to jump right to that spot so I could start typing. THANKS FOR THE HELP!
Why is everyone jumping all over her post?
I don't believe she mentioned that she believes there is anything wrong with prayer. I think she was surprised to hear this being dictated. It is surprising! I have never come across such a statement in my entire career. It doesn't mean that prayer between patient and physician does not happen, it just is unusual that it is being dictated...that's all.
Jumping to fields
Hi everyone! For years I have been jumping to fields in Word by using the F11 key. Does anyone know if I can customize my keyboard to use alt/c to jump around and how to set that up?
Thanks!
Those jumping on you are jealous, that's all.
I think when some people got into transcription, they figured it would be easier than it is. It's a real job that you have to concentrate on at all times. I don't answer the phone, my husband knows not to bug me and when my kids were still at home they knew not to bother mom while she's working.
This is still a great career for me. I get as much work as I want and make as much money as I want.
Again - Someone jumping to conclusions
Is it that they can not comprehend what they read? This post was an effort at encouragement to some, not all. Again, someone takes a sentence out of context, turns it into something else, just so they can be this rude. No some may not want out of this business. It is all they have left. What she was encouraging was that if you are still young enough, why not start searching for another passion if this one has been taken away from you? I don't think the message was too hard to comprehend. If you want to "vent" (if that is what some call it), please do not do it to people who do not deserve this.
There you go jumping to conclusions.

That is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am rolling on the floor with that one.
I saw that, and it's hilarious!!!
Hilarious!
Ha! That is the funniest thing I've heard all day! I remember way back when I first started as an MT, the surgeon had dictated what sounded like "slap reconstruction," so that's what I typed. It was "flap reconstruction!" Gosh, I'm sure glad the surgeon had a sense of humor and he read the document before signing it...hee-hee!
Those are hilarious! (nm)

That's hilarious!
You'd elect Bush all over again!  God help you! And you probably thought, and still do think, that Iraq has WMD. Hahahahaha! 
Have fun shelling it out at the pumps honey. Bush and his oil buddies count on people like you. 
you think everything is hilarious

OMG that is hilarious! My DH's is too! sm
It never fails, he will start talking as soon as I step on the pedal. As soon as I lift my foot to try to catch what he said, he stops. Then when I think he was just making a rhetorical comment or something I didn't need to respond to, I will step on the pedal and he will start talking AGAIN!! This will go on for a couple of minutes, listening to the same little bit of dictation over and over, until I finally tell him to either SPEAK OR SHUT UP!
That is hilarious even though
EVERYTHING you said is true and very very frustrating, it was still sooo funny...especially, and I forget what number...the yawning issue...I always love to try and figure out what they are saying in the middle of a yawn.
You also forgot number 11...spell the word "the" but don't spell physicains names, names of other doctor's office or words that THEY can't even pronounce!
thanks for the laugh...I definitely needed a good on! 
I seems strange that clients would be jumping
ship when the TAT time is pretty much up to the minute. You would think transcriptionists would be jumping ship instead. I don't believe the clients are jumping ship.
I really don't have any problem jumping accounts
A bit time delaying at first to learn the specifics and keeping the client profile open for referrence.
The only thing I hate is when I'm literally changing accounts with every other report and realize (usually as I hit send) that I did things on that report that is the standard from the account previously ie: number med list versus not...using 1. vs 1) etc.
Woops. I am so sorry for jumping the gun like that. Didn't know. Sorry! :(

You are certainly jumping to conclusions. I assure you sm
I would not send anyone to AAMT for any reason.
For 63 yrs old, I was surprised he's still jumping aound like that.
I think alot of people are jumping to --sm
conclusions here about the whole situation, including yourself. You do not know that just because she gave your husband's friend a ride home, that anything happened between them. Since she already had his friends cell number, perhaps he simply left something in her car and she wanted to return it. It could be totally innocent on everybodies parts. She may not even be aware he is married. But any way, that all is between your husband's friend and her. Since your husband told you about it in the first place, I think there is nothing to worry about in that respect. However, your over reaction to it will probably change things between you and him, and calm open communication is the only thing that may change that back. You already crossed the line with a jealous outburst, and perhaps will never be able to cross back. He will always see you in a different light now, and that you possibly do not trust him, and he will be very careful about what he tells you in the future. I have learned through experience that jealousy, anger, and mistrust are the quickest ways to drive your husband to find someone else. Secondly, if there IS an affair going on between the friend and this woman...it is none of your business. Don't confront the friend..don't confront the other woman...and definitely do not call the wife to tell her. If there is an affair going on, she will find out on her own, but if you stick your nose in, and they patch things up between them, you will have lost a friend for yourself, and your husband. Stay out of it. I definitely think you need to sit down with your husband and calmly talk about this. Tell him that you are sorry for over reacting and that you DO trust him. That is the most important. Never bring up the phone call again. Never ask for the number. He probably feels that you will interfere in something that is not your concern and that is why he does not want you to have it...not because something is going on. He thinks you will embarrass him. that is all. Don't start making waves when you are the one who would end up losing in the long run. Trust me...I know. I was jealous and suspicious of my ex husband and all of his female friends. I reacted to every situation with jealousy and anger, and tried to FORCE him to stay with me. If they want to go, you can't stop them from going. I ended up losing him because I drove him away with mistrust and jealousy. He is married to her now, and I hope they are very happy together. I am not angry and I am not bitter. I did it to myself and I take full responsibility for that. I just do not want to see it happen to anyone else, because it can be avoided simply by how you approach things. Take care and good luck to you.
Cannot remember macro for jumping
I need a macro for Word 2003 to jump to ?? as the next field and, even though I've done this before, I cannot for the LIFE of me remember how to do it. 
Any clues? THANKS in advance!

Sounds like something I would do... I actually did LOL!
