I like that idea of rabbit wire and dirt....
around them and using them as planters. I don't have any stumps in my yard now, but did have a property once with lots of stumps and after I moved and got a little more into gardening realized how useful they could be. Use the stump as a pedistal for potted plants such as wave petunias. Nail a few cross limbs on it and put some climbing flowering vines like clematis or cardinal climbers and make little garden beds in the rich soil around them. Scatter birdseed on top of some and use others to make birdbaths with a shallow dish. Also they make a nice place to just sit and enjoy your garden. I wish I had more stumps in my yard!

I've had rabbit stew before.

It takes a small person to purposely
mock someone else. It just shows your level of character.

I've said it before and I'll stay it again, there is absolutely no added worth to being a CMT.

It is a waste of nearly $300 and it serves little or no purpose. You maybe get a penny more a line from a handful of services. That's it. Does it sound like it's worth it to you?

Furthermore, you'd be giving your hard earned money to an organization that advocates offshoring American MT jobs. They even recently were asking American MTs to volunteer their time and pay their way on a $4000 trip to China to train the Chinese to take our jobs.

Then there is the whole problem with the ever-changing BOS. Just when we learn their rules, they go and change them on us and make us all pay 90 bucks for the newest edition.

Uhem, sorry. This subject tends to get me fired up. The short answer would be -- No, it isn't worth it at all.

That's what I've been doing, but sometimes my hands are like ice and it takes more than the fe
seconds I have in between reports to really get them warmed up. Thanks for all the great suggestions to everyone. I wish there was a store that I could go to and just try on all the different gloves! I'm very persnickety when I'm typing. My comfort level must be as near perfect as I can get it and if my gloves are too tight or too itchy, I'll be distracted. I guess I'll hang onto my heating pad for now until I decide.

Wow. We've all heard it takes about 5 positive comments to overcome 1 neg. Great example. We ne

I've know the owner and it is a small company. He doesn't know the first
thing about MT, word processing programs, etc. I have worked for the company through 3 owners and now I do prn work for him.

I'm lead transcrip for small ofc, in the field since 88, and I've found (sm)
that depending on the person, it can take up to a year. You either have to be very smart and very driven to make it shorter, or you would have to have some exposure to the systems/docs etc. It takes a longer time if you are also new to the field of MT. But after about a year, if you don't find yourself relaxing when you are at work, talk to somebody. That's long enough, and you should be finding a niche for yourself by then.

I've been with so many companies, large and small, I can't count anymore. nm

Not fried rabbit????

Now watch me pull a rabbit
"MTIA strongly supports the development of a credentialed workforce."

And in case you were wondering who was going to be the certifying body...

ta DA! They have their very own handy-dandy organization right on hand to provide the test! AHDI!

But wait! Not only are they on hand, they have the EXACT same address as MTIA!

Oh, & in case you were wondering who was going to pay for all this, "MTIA acknowledges that there is a measurable cost associated with preparing for, obtaining, and maintaining the professional credentials referenced here. It is important to note that the Association is not including in this recommendation the mandate or suggestion that the responsibility for those costs be shouldered, at all or in part, by the transcription service organization/employer.

So let's see. They force MTs to become CMTs by pushing so hard for it in the industry that it becomes impossible to work without it. Next, they make the MTs pay for the certification themselves even though their facilitation of offshoring has driven wages down so far that it's hard to make a living. Finally, the fees for this certification go to an organization with an address identical to theirs...

how do you spell c-l-a-s-s a-c-t-i-o-n??

In France, they serve Lapin (rabbit)...yum

Yes, call your local vet, any vet, and ask for the wild rabbit rescuer in your area.
There is always someone nearly everywhere. If you can't find one, please write me and I'll search for someone for you if you're short on time. They are so worth saving. Mom might still be around. Let's hope so!

small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.

well it added up for me,
characters divided by 65 -- they DO count spaces.

plus i just rec'd the unexpected check for 'errors' of over $400, yeehah!! and another letter explaining the new 'pay plan' which includes another week off for FT'ers, pay based upon experience, etc. MQ, like i've said before, is always improving, i love this company!! i just hope they continue to be who they are and not ever sell out!!

Thanks for your Feedback.

Should have added.
new platform, even after 3 months typing about 300 lines less per day. Plus they might be doing away with incentive pay, so seeing what is "out there." The insurance coverage also got so much worse with 3,000.00 deductible, no meds covered, etc., which is a huge benefit loss. Will probably stay there, but seeing what other companies offer for a good overall pay/benefit package.

Oh I also added more RAM
I also added more RAM and it made not one whit of difference

ADDED: She knows she's likely to lose some accounts due to poor quality but figures she'll worry about that later. I think it's a horrendous way to run a business, but nevertheless, it's exactly the way it's being done.

Also, I should have added that if your
facility goes by BOS, a copy of that is also an excellent idea. BOS2 is what is most commonly used, however there is a BOS3 out now. I would not purchase these, however, until I had a job and was told that I needed them as they can be quite expensive and not everyone has flipped over to BOS3. There are many things in these books on style, how to type certain things in reports (not always logical), etc.

Have you added in the other benefits

The company has great benefits that can add up to several thousand a year. Paid downtime. Paid holidays. Vacation/PTO starting the first year. No equipment rental fee. Big discount on word books. Rental library for medical education. Reimbursement for continuing education. Decent insurance. Might make a difference.

Thanks, MTStars Administration.

You can configure it yourself and have one added in

Added" rather pay to have it done right the first time.
:P

The added pay for the CMT some companies SM
pay, like mine, is on top of basic pay, so you'd even make more than yourself if you had the credential.

One more thing that can be added - (sm)
You said: 'I was informed by 48 out of 54 potential employers that the CMT Credential that I thought I earned was false, counterfeit, and not worth the paper it was printed on.'

To all thinking of obtaining AHDI's CMT test (supposedly the 'legit' certification):

THE AHDI CERTIFICATION ISN'T WORTH THE PAPER IT'S WRITTEN ON, EITHER.

How do you spell S-C-A-M ?

Any ho t dirt y bitc hes here!
