you'll do fine
but yes, with anything there is the learning curve where your paycheck generally suffers a little. I love it tho. Hope i never have to learn another system. The expander part is quick and easy. I would not recommend trying to learn their preset shortcuts, just make your own. i developed my own quicker than remembering theirs; it is quick and easy to look them up if you foget 'em too.
You'll be fine.....sm
It is a bit cooler today than it has been lately. We were at 80 yesterday. Today, 74. I think it will be fine to lay out, but I don't know about going into the water. lol :)
I used Short Keys, not Short hand for Bayscribe, it worked fine.

Fine, you shop where you want to and I'll do the same

Tell him fine, you'll quit your job and he can figure out
me no end the amount of guilt and burdens we women allow ourselves to take up trying to be all things to everybody--in other words, Superwoman. Tell your DH to not just present you with a problem in order to heap one more thing on your shoulders, but to come up with a solution for it! I am sick & tired of us being expected to roll up 3-4 jobs into one. Being a mother itself is a full-time job, taking care of & managing your home and/or marriage * activities of daily living is another, and we have to help bring in the income too! No wonder women are so sick and stressed out all the time, me included.
You'll be fine. I was afraid to be around people again too but
after the first week I couldn't believe I was working at home like a recluse all those years and actually enjoyed making friends and having conversations with coworkers and patients. I missed being sociable and didn't even realize it. Also, it does wonder for the disposition when you're not at work too. I've never been happier and am better able to participate in conversations now that I'm not alone 8 hours a day typing. You'll be fine.
If you keep to the schedule you commit to, you'll do fine
I had to get ShortHand and build my abbreviation dictionay to build my speed. The sound quality was fair, the platform okay. I was usually able to do my lines in less than my 8 hours and we ended up parting ways because they wanted me to work 40 hours a week even if I was able to get more than my minimum lines in less than 40. Things were better there when George (may he rest in peace) was there.
You'll be fine. Just stay busy with....
...work and last minute wedding details and the time will fly by. But remember to eat. That is one thing I can say is I neglected to eat I was so busy with everything and weighed 7 pounds less than my usual (128) on my wedding day. Which I guess is better than the alternative. LOL.
And remember, even if something goes wrong try not to freak out. After all, it is your love and future that really counts! Best wishes to you.
Still happily married, 11 years, and it gets better every day!!! 
I think it's fine; I would just make sure if it's a Jewish doctor

Re: Chart Script
It's okay, we use it currently. But it crashes alot.
cut apart chart notes
Told you I was an old timer. I print on sticky paper so that they can stick the chart note into the chart one after another on a piece of paper. It is an 8.5 x 11 label. I print sometimes up to 3 to 4 patients on one sheet as I can and I cut apart the different patient chart notes so the gals in the office don't have to do them and they can be filed right onto the charts. Just an extra service I provide. Takes me 5 minutes to do about 20 pages for all my accounts.
Fast Chart, Inc.
Anyone work for Fast Chart or know anything about them?
why not? it's just key points of the chart ---
or chart condensed. anyone needing to know anything will go into the chart itself, including the courts.
Fast Chart
Does anyone have any information about Fast Chart? I applied for a position there and am curious to know if it is a good company.
Fast Chart
It could be better, but could be worse. Pay is low, but there seems to be plenty of work and pay is on time. They seem very friendly and tend to leave you alone to do your job.
QA may or may not be "friendly" but do not tell the QA anything that you don't want repeated to the owner. Pay attention to details and always confirm, in writing by email or otherwise, your understanding of anything important that is discussed in a phone call, especially with regards to the account assignment, pay and contract. For instance, you may be told that an account with XXX specialty is not available and then find them advertising within just a few days for that same specialty.
They seem to be a bit disorganized, with account specs being rather vague and incomplete.
They are very flexible and allow you to determine your own schedule monthly; however, they do require weekend work.
IMHO, Fast Chart is a pretty good company compared to some of the other choices in the industry right now.

I have been at Fast Chart for a little over 2 years. I did start off at 6 cent typing 3 cent editing and worked my way up quickly. They pay headers, footers and spaces. The accounts are easy and the people are always available to answer questions. I know they do not send anything to india. The owner is adamant about keeping work in the US. The edit script platform I am on is so user friendly. I am so glad to have a job with consistent work and receive my money on time. I say go for it.
Fast Chart
Actually, I understood it a little differently. Fast Chart seems to have two fees. The $7.50 per pay period is if you do not commit to at least 13,000 lines per pay period. There's another larger fee if you do not reach your promised line count, based on the percent of your promised lines that you DO produce.
As an IC, wouldn't these fees be somehow tax deductible?
Fast Chart
Yep. And a friend of mine told me that she was chastised by the company President for communicating too much with the QA and other administrators by email. She asked too many questions. I guess they prefer her to figure it all out by herself and not bother them.
Power Chart
Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?
Thanks.
According to the line count chart - sm
at http://www.medicalese.org/line_count.html
.09 cents for a 65-character line = $138.46 per 100,000 characters typed, and .10 for a 75-character line = $133.33 per 100,000 characters.
So .09 and 65 characters is the better deal, benefits are icing on the cake.
Does I-chart have a good expander?
Anyone familiar with Dictaphone I-chart. I'm thinking of working for a company that uses this. Is it good for productivity. I have Word 2000. Is it compatible? Thanks in advance!

Question on transcription by chart...
I have a doc I have been typing for for years. He HATES dictating lol Rt now he has stacks of patients on his desk and I am getting ready to go on vacation, but there is no way he will dictate before I leave. These would just be short orthopedic FUs, Im wondering if any of you have gone by the chart or the diagnosis and the prior note and typed a note for the patient. Does this make sense? lol Anyway any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
