Would your niece be interested ...sm

In Reply to: My neice has found out that she's pregnant. - me
in talking with one of the agencies that works with pregnant women that really goes in depth with her about the options? If you know anyone who had an abortion try to have her talk to them because I've not known any woman who had one that didn't wonder about the baby and what the child may have been like if they hadn't aborted it, and despite what the abortion doctors try to say - it is a surgical procedure and ends the life of a child and there are emotional implications from that. She should also talk with women who have given up a child for adoption as well. If she's serious about not wanting to keep the child then she should consider adoption and realize that there are resources out there to help her through the pregnancy, including the pregnancy bills, and alternatives that will give the child to a loving home instead of a dumpster.

My niece does this
My 14 year old niece does this to me, I finally blocked her from my incoming list and she doesn't know the difference.
get yourself on the phone now. your niece will thank you later. MUCH later probably, but oh well.

I wish my niece would read this...
she has a Sheltie that does NOTHING BUT BARK, at every pin drop, every car that goes by, every shadow that passes. It truly is enough to drive you nuts.
pregnant niece
I had a similar situation and my niece was 19 at the time. She was not sleeping around, was with 1 guy but not using OCP or anything else because it was her sexual relationship and she thought she "couldn't get pregnant." She had sex ed and was told better, but apparently she listened to her stupid friends instead of her teachers.
I'm a little more hardened than you - I would have told her that I was taking her advice and minding my own business.
I'm not opposed to abortion. I think it is much more of a sin to bring a child into the world when you cannot support s/he and do not love s/he unconditionally.
Your niece made a mistake, a big one, but she should not have to forfeit her chance at a life because of a sexual encounter. If she can't remember to take the pill, she needs to get a patch. But she should be using a barrier method of some kind to prevent STDs.
The fact that she is not responsible enough to use birth control should be a clue that she is not responsible enough to raise a child.
My niece is a product of IVF (sm)
I remember only too well my sister-in-law's tears as she and my brother-in-law (husband's brother) struggled to have their first child. Finally, they tried IVF and had their first daughter, my niece and my Godchild. She just made her First Communion a couple of weeks ago. They had two more girls after her, both through IVF. (They are 7, 5, and 3). I know those 3 little girls are so adored. Mom and dad are going to be paying that debt down for quite a while, but I know that they, and I'm sure everyone who has gone through the same, will say that it was worth it.
WRONG - my niece does it and you can
only have so many parties before your friends and/or relatives are ready to choke you. LOL. It's really a pyramid and good if you get in at the beginning. Not a good time to sell it now - it will be a thing of the past very soon.
I really have to clarify that my niece..sm
really isn't the kind of girl who would send anything suggestive.
I despise ain't! My niece says it sometimes and
She's way too smart to talk like that, and my kids spend a lot of time with her, and now I've heard them say it a few times too. grrrrr. I'll have to tell them that little riddle - they'll love that!
My niece is getting married later this month BUT they are
actually only throwing themselves an engagement party as their BIG wedding and reception will be next year. They are really getting married this year, I wanted that clear, they just have to save for their big fairy tale wedding. Anyway, we're invited to this little ceremony this year along with the "engagement" party. What is an appropriate gift for this kind of occasion? I'm not a cheapo but want something appropriate as next year are the big doings and of course the gift then should be bigger and nicer, or go with the nice gift now and the appropriate 1-year anniversary gift next year. Any ideas ladies or gents? Thanks.
It's rough. I have a niece who's having trouble. sm
The sad part about being a newbie is all the hype the MT schools throw at you about "You can work at home! You can make $40,000 a year!, blah, blah, blah!"
I have a niece going through the same thing. She paid for school, graduated with top honors and couldn't find a thing for months.
What a lot of the MT schools don't tell you is about the real world. The big companies are looking for turnaround time and making money. "Newbies" (and by the way I hate that word) are a risk.
I just started working at home after 15 years in the medical field, but had to start as a receptionist after spending 8 years as a legal secretary/paralegal. It didn't take long for the docs to realize that I could spell and I could type and I offered to try and type their reports. With a lot of help from the docs I found I loved doing MT. I took on a part-time MT at home job at nights 1 1/2 years ago for a local person, took a medical terminology class and then took the "plunge."
So anyway, (sorry to go on so long), my advice to you is to try to find something locally, if you can, even just signing patients in at a local hospital part time and offer your MT knowledge and typing ability to human resources. Once you have even 6 months of experience, I'm sure you will be taken more seriously.
My niece did eventually find part time work and is working at home, but she's getting paid 5 cents a line.
Best of luck to you.
A co-worker of my niece took in a family
When she went to work, they cleaned her out, including her kitchen utensils!!!
My niece was born at 4:16 this morning.
My sister in law gave birth to my niece at 4:16 this morning and I am sure that people will raise their eyebrows everytime she tells someone her DOB.
my niece is an ultrasound tech and has sm
been for about 8-9 years. When she went in there was a shortage of ultrasound techs (kind of like the MT profession). I think her schooling was 2 years. She had to take some pre-requisite stuff that she didn't have in highschool. She makes great money. But she told me that there is getting to be an overabundance of US techs now. Use to be you had to go through the whole radiology program just to even think about being an ultrasound tech. Because of the shortage they took the US tech out of the radiology program and started programs independently. I am wondering if US is going to go the way of MT and there will be so many of them and not enough jobs.
On the positive side of it, they have many options available. There are traveling US techs that go from state to state or just facility to facility. Go for it!
My niece was involved in a similar situation..sm
This man, my father-in-law, her grandfather recently grabbed her breast and butt and tried to kiss her. We all thought he was a saint and could do no wrong. I find it hard to believe that your stepfather just started this behavior. He may have done things like this before. I told my niece to tell her grandmother. It did not go over well but in the end, she believed her granddaughter. She chose to stay with this jerk, but she also still has a relationship with her granddaughter. The granddaughter does not go over there anymore but grandma goes to see her. We've warned other family members to stay away. Later, it came out that he fondled his stepdaughter when she was 14. We have also found pictures of a neighbor in her bikini on his computer. My niece was 25 when this happened. The incident with the stepdaughter was 25 years ago. That's why you should be very careful about your stepfather. I would just tell your mother and stay away from your stepfather. Don't be afraid of the person with the big mouth. This shouldn't be kept a secret. Tell everyone. My husband's family wants to hide this from everyone because they'll think badly of the grandfather. Too bad for him. I've told everyone who will listen. He at least admitted to it. I think everyone who comes in contact with him should be aware that he's a pervert. I wouldn't even talk to the stepfather. Just stay away from him. Good luck in what ever you choose.
I would think you'd make lots of money. My niece had her sm
eyelids and eyebrows done a few years ago, and I don't know what the final cost was, but the DOWN PAYMENT was $800!!!
Good luck! 
I have a niece studing to be a PA. I told her to call me when she starts dictating sm
I told her to be sure to ENUNCIATE, spell difficult names. I hope that will give us one PA that will be clear. LOL
I'm interested in a MT Course??? HELP!!!
Can anyone give me some advice on going thru a MT course? I would very much like to do an online training but not sure if they are legit or not. I have some information from Allied Health which is about 1500. Is that normal? Does anyone know of any better courses? Is it okay to take an online course? I have so many questions but don't know who to ask. Do you guys get paid decent money? HELP!!! HELP!!! All answers will be appreciated!!!
I was interested but...sm
I was interested in finding out answers, not listening to flaming. You were rude to the poster in your first post. How is that helping anyone? No one else had to have a rude comment. So, no I am not interested in your post if it is smart instead of productive.
B and E. Not interested! nm

Who is interested?
Insurance companies are interested. If you are running for political office, lots of folks would be interested.
Not interested
I am not interested in your suggestions. I posted a message to the Administrator, not to you or anyone else. You don't tell people what to skip. Since we are making suggestions here...I SUGGEST that you not respond to my messages that are intended for the administrator.
I'm interested in this myself.
I would only need it to receive faxes, not send. It says that with the free account you get a non-local number versus a local number with a paid account. This wouldn't matter if the person I am getting the bulk of my faxes from is not local anyways, would it?
Also, I am referring to the efax software. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm interested
Hi, there - I'm actually in the Midwest, but have the capability to handle uploaded dictation, and am definitely interested in taking on a new account. Do they require the MT to be located in their area?
Theresa
I am interested :) Thanks! nm

I don't know, but am interested as well

I am interested in VR, also. Which co. is this?

Interested in more than QA sm
I don't know if it was clear in my original post, but I am interested in more than QA, for instance supervisor, manager, coordinator, etc. QA would be last on my list.
Interested in tips on moving up in company.
Not Interested
I don't believe a word she says and am not interested in communicating with her!
Would be interested to know
what are some of the negatives, if you wouldn't mind sharing...I was actually thinking about applying at a state hospital, and there seems to be a lot of good reasons to take the job. So, I would appreciate your input on some of the things I might want to be aware of before making my decision.
Thanks!
I would be interested in this as
well, if you hear anything! I use my F11 key as well and would like to try another key.
I am interested in this too!
I have just started hearing about the EMR system. I have heard this will do away with clinic reports, ER reports for medical transcriptionists, but it will not replace acute care.
You getting me interested!
Ok for my headings I have hpiub which will expand to "HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: " all in bold letters. Is this what you mean by a macro or do you mean to actually set up a macro in MS Word?
Thanks
I'd be interested to know if you have the facts on this
Not flaming at all, just would like to know what goes on, what they're not telling us. I've seen documentaries on how humanely they do it, by injection for cows and they give pain relievers to chickens. Am I being naive here?
Thanks, i'd be interested to learn more
Butting in here... I am very interested in sm
this. Is it hard to learn? I know I probably sound ridiculous but I take it we just have our headsets on and dictate what the doctor dictates, right? Can you edit as you go along, such as putting in addresses and such? This is intriguing to me. Does it end up saving you lots of time in the long run?
Thanks for any information you can provide. I would love to have one of these, I think.
To snowbunny and anyone else interested...
You asked what line rate I thought my experience and expertise was worth. Realistically I would think anywhere between 13 and 15 cpl. Of course, that would put me back to where I was nine years ago! Forget inflation, I would be happy to have my old radiology clinic back at that rate but, wait, they are now paying a large corporation 8 to 10 cpl. And, the corporation is paying someone in a third world nation a pittance of that. However, for the Transcriptionist in the third world nation the salary is great! Perhaps we should be happy that we are doing our best to bring these third world countries into the main stream. While that sounds sarcastic, it is not completely sarcastic. I do not begrudge the transcriptionist doing the work. I am just tired of Corporate America paying the executives exorbitant salaries with "golden parachutes" and leaving the worker hanging. Executives can ruin the business, trash the name of the company in the news and still be handed a bonus in the millions! Sure the upper management should be paid more for the responsibilities they bear, but 500%, 1000%, and more?! This is happening in every business - not just ours and I believe it is the main reason that we are losing business to other countries. American companies cannot pay American workers what they should be paid in order to live in our society as long as they pay huge salaries, bonuses, and buyouts to their failed executives. Perhaps executives should be paid only if they produce and the company is successful ... kind of like a ballplayer! Start losing money and you are out of work! But wait - that will only cause them to fire more American workers and piece meal out the work to people who can live on less. Where are we going wrong? Yes, we need corporations to make a profit, yes we need to pay upper management for their skill and expertise, but shouldn't we (the collective we) try to keep American workers working???
Im interested and whants to know more.
Well, im a Editor already for MQ and im not sure if i want to renew my contract with them. It actually interesting to teach kids english. Is there a online school or training program for this i so could learn while doing my current MT work?
Here is a question for anyone interested....
I was reading on another board... The problem with the larger companies was switching from account to account to account. However, learning the account specifics (or at least printing them so you can refer to them) should not be that hard. I want to know what is so hard about jumping around? I work 7 accounts as an Editor and never have been able to figure this particular "gripe" out. Docs are docs are docs. No matter what hospital they are at. Reports don't change that much. How hard is to jump from to another? I just don't see why this is such a problem. Your paycheck should not be an issue, because as an MT you should be able to transcribe any doc out there. If you really have an issue with this, you might want to rethink what you do for a living.
But in saying the above, just for a note, I don't understand these MTs that can only do 800-1000 lines in 8 hours either.
I am an older MT (16 years) and have had to do all of it. Never thought once about any of it except do my best at it, learn from it and then excel at it.
The thing that really interested me is the sm
potential to set my own hours as a deposition court reporter. I also see jobs to do closed captioning for television working at home. Right now I just want to be sure - before I spend the money and time - that this is a field that won't be taken over by VR anytime soon.
A few more tips for those interested
I use the number 8 key for my ectomy words.
For examply. Appendectomy is programmed as a8
Cholecystectomy c8
Hysterectomy h8
Tonsillectomy t8
You get the idea. In the rare instance that this interferes with another word (i.e. T8 on a spine exam. I type t8n which means (NOT) so it will expand to simply T8.
instead of using the semicolon, I do pretty much the same thing but with the slash / on the right side of the keyboard. I use this pretty much when i can divide words such as t/a therafter. u/w underwent u/g undergone l/h lightheaded.
for family members I use the number 9. For example,
b9 is brother s9 is sister sil9 is sister in law d9 is daughter gm9 grandmother gd9 grandaughter.
I use the letter z quite a bit to just to phonetically shorten words. For example.
dz disease anz aneurysm rz resolve rzd resolved rzg resolving bz because czd caused czg causing etc. If i here a "z" sound in a word I take advantage of it.
My psych words take the prefix nut. nuts is psychosis nutc is psychotic lol. Cute, I know, but I never forget these.
For really common words that I type a zillion times: AR anterior pr posterior ll lateral ml medial I try to make these as short as possible.
KEEP THE TIPS COMING. This is great to share.
Do you have a link? I'm interested.

I would be interested in knowing this as well....
Question - I am interested in getting
Vonage. I have roomates & have to share a ground line. There is a teenager in the house who is always monopolizing the telephone. Would I be able to get Vonage set up just for myself on the computer, or would I have to get the person who has the land line to order it?
Dr. Phil seems only interested in
for his weight loss supplements and snack bars. I read the ingredients and they are full of trans fats, which are the ones that plug up your arteries. Now he is in movies too. Tired of him and his pop culture psychology.
Interested in MD transcription--help!
Hi--
I am a high school social studies teacher whose salary is so low I can't live off it. I am looking for a part-time job that I can do from home and am interested in MD transcription but I'd like to find out more about the job first.
I've looked around the internet and found much conflicting information. I've seen pay ranges from as low as $8. per hour up to a high of $40. per hour and want to know what I can really expect. Also, can I easily get a job working from my home? I already have a graduate degree. Do I still have to go through the official training for MD transcription or can I get a job and do on the job training? If I have to train, how long does it take and how much does it cost? Will paying for and going through the training virtually assure I'll get a job? Also, what schools are the best/least expensive? I don't want to get ripped off. Could I work at this job from home as little as 10 hours per week?
I guess what I really need is some direction to a web site, or book to help me work through this process to determine if I really want to do this.
Is there someone out there who can direct me?
Thanks.
Call them and see if they are only interested in FT - sm
or if they might look for 2 PT people. As for them being rigid, they are the employer, they have their way of how they want things done. One hour for lunch (and not more) is the norm for most FT jobs. Of course they are not going to let you take 75 minutes or 90 just because you have things you want to get done during your "lunch hour". PT jobs usually only allow 30 minutes for lunch....again no more than 30 minutes. Believe me, if you don't want to work 8-5 (or whatever) with your 1-hour lunch, there are plenty of others who will jump at it.
Yum, I'm interested ;-) no message
.
Yeah, the $60,000 is more what I am interested in.
Since I have no degree whatsoever, the master's would probably be a bit much. It wouldn't hurt looking into though, so I will definitely do that.
Well, good luck with school. I hope you get in and do well!
I am interested in hearing how this goes for you - sm
I too am waiting on a foot pedal for a new job that uses EMDAT. I should have mine on Monday though. I thought it would be just a plug in and it would work kind of deal. I just don't want it to interfere with my other foot pedal (serial port) and my MS Word, which it does mess up I think. I will know for sure the next time I use it (going to repeat the training) and then later try to use word by itself on my computer (rebooting fixed it, just hate rebooting as it takes about 10 minutes for the whole process since I have so much on my computer). You may have to change your hot keys, the EMDAT is F2, F3 and F4 keys for play, rwd and FF respectively.
I'm interested in this as well. My husband can
take a lot of vacation. I would love to work when we are driving different places, etcetera.
I found it for anyone interested (sm)
Place you a sticky note or short note pad to your monitor with the function key commands. Where you were referring to closing spaces, were you talking about joining lines? Go to the end of the sentence and space, then do Shift F6; this joins your sentence together. Do you mind telling me the account you are own? Send it to my email. I will be starting soon and was wondering about the account. Thanks.
