Simply download the ShortHand install file from the website onto the jump drive.  Then open up your jump drive and install it.  When it asks for the file location (which defauls to c:programs) change it to your jump drive (on my PC it is the F drive).  Then install it.  The entire program will install on your jump drive.  Then plug into to whatever PC you want to use, open up the drive, double click the shorthand icon and it will run the program in the background from your jump drive.

I did it for years.  I had to type radiology in the office into Cerner with no abbrev Expander provided by the hospital.  I used my jump drive and it worked like a dream.  Everybody was amazed at how productive I was.  Never, EVER ask the IT people to help, the answer will always be no.

Anybody out there volunteer for hospice?  I recently started my training for it and I am so excited.  I have 18 hours of training to do before I actually am on my own.  I can't wait. 

Anybody else volunteer for hospice? 

if their mother was not a hospice patient.  They have programs that the family participates in together and just programs for kids too.  If they are able to associate  with other kids that have experienced what they have that would probably be a tremendous help.  They don't just talk about their feelings, but do activities and play games and just be kids, but if the emotions come then there is a trained person to help them.

Sounds like the dad could use some counseling too and maybe just a break from being a parent 24/7. 

I need some help with my Transtech Extext program.  Having trouble getting a new work type selected and sound.

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.

Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.

However, I was a certified lifeguard (among other things) before I got into MT.  I do well enough at it that I quit my fulltime federal job to stay home with my kids.  They fly around the house while I type.

I have been contemplating my life and was thinking about going back to school to become a nurse, but I will be 48 this year and I was wondering at what point a person is getting too old to go into nursing due to the physical strains.  Just curious. 

form be performing anything other than assisting patient with ADLS, doing vitals, etc.   I can't believe a reputable medical facility would allow her to perform such duties without proper education/certification and this needs to be brought to the attention of management.   If indeed this is true she is a major liability.  If the facility accepts Medicaid/Medicare they would lose their license, not to mention possible lawsuits. 

Does anyone have a good website to find Nurse Practitioner addresses?

she tips her hat to his wife doing MT.  She could not do it.  She thought she could, but when she sat down, she gave up in about 5 minutes.  She stated that she didn't know how I understood what the doctors are saying; they talk so fast.  Yes, we are highly underpaid for the skill set we have as MTs.  I also had a physician tell his resident students that he was mentoring that they should transcribe for about a year before they have finished medical school and they might just learn something.  LOL

For starters a good high pay rate with bonuses.  Good benefits including a retirement with a match by the employer.  And while we're wishing, how bout a little more respect for the MTs.
