Jemez Mts are pretty neat also
You can drive the Turquoise Trail from ABQ to Santa Fe. I think its state road 14. It runs from east of ABQ up to around SF somewhere. Take the tram to the top of Sandia if you would like some nice views of the city. There is a 2 mile nature trail up there too, if it is still there.
On the west side, there is Petroglyph National Monument.
Are you going to be there during the balloon fiesta? It was always so cool to see all of those balloons in the air when I got up to go to class in the morning. I went to the mass ascension once. Very early morning and COLD! but a worthwhile experience.
Red River, NM is small but I have been there twice for long weekends. There is a gorge somewhere near there that I stopped at both times to take pics - forget where or the name - sorry.
I do believe you can actually go to the exact point of the 4 corners. Sounds like a fun photo op - not sure if much else in that area is exciting though. Its pretty darn rural.
Have fun!
Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.

That's really neat..
That you get together with a friend and have lunch or whatever. That is so important to keep up your friendships, keep your life balanced. Sounds like you have done a great job!
I think that is so neat. sm
My fingers get so stiff when they get cold and this could be the answer. I also have thought about just getting plain gloves with open fingers. My only concern is would it get too hot?
Well that is neat...nm

That's a neat idea. I may have to try it.
By the end of the day my hiney is about dead. Maybe that would help. 
Sounds neat to me.

here you go. A neat site. It is not about
any company, strictly a help site for production, including Word, WP, IT, Shorthand, etc. Its very active, questions are answered quickly. But remember, it is all volunteer help, so no demanding.

This is a neat trick, if you don't already use it...sm
I'm sure many of you have heard of this already, but for those who haven't...it sure helps me when I'm typing AND reading back over my work. You can hold down the control key and turn the roller wheel up a notch on your mouse to enlarge the print on your screen. Then just hit control and scroll it back down to make it smaller again. This has made it "easy on the eyes" for me. Hope someone can benefit from this as I have!
that sounds neat...
Were they hard to get accustomed to?
They have this really neat thing at the top of this page
It's a little green box with the word "search" in the bottom middle. If you press that and put in the company name, you'll get all kinds of info that has been shared previously on most companies. It's really a neat feature provided by this board. Give it a try.
Aw, that's so neat, I needed that after a long day!
Thank you for posting that, many points worth remembering.
Pet collar for surgery. I found this neat
collar for my dog who just had surgery. It works better than one of those cones. It is called a no-bite cervical collar for pets. They are available on the internet.
I never thought of that. A newsletter would be kind of neat.
It means you thought enough of them to update them on what's going in your life and your family. And just think, years later someone who did not even know you personally would surely have interest as well, kind of like family heritage things. I thoroughly enjoy going back and reading several notebooks that my MIL wrote while she was alive. She always kept her notebook handy to write notes of things going on. It really is interesting reading and perhaps one day someone else will find these newsletters the same. Now....can I really take the time to actually write one? We'll see.
Want to keep winning? Having fun yet? Got tons more neat stuff!
I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it. 
You know, that sounds really neat. What kind of stuff do you hear? sm
Any recommendations if I ever want to get one? What kind do you have?
thanks!
The timestamp sounds neat, but that URL reirects to another site? What's the right URL? Thx nm

How can we learn this neat stuff if it's not in the help menu? We have to wait till

neat web site 'chemo angels'. Help cancer patients
http://www.chemoangels.com/
okay neatly correlated lies. and the trailer parks are really neat little hideaways the statistics
no excuse for not researching with google or even yahoo. my neighborhood is zoned to not allow trailer parks (ever wonder why???) thus my property if more valuable than another community that is not zoned against trailer parks. Now did you ever consider why communities would even think of having a zoning commission that would ban trailer parks. Community standards might come in to play and they don't want property values diminished. GOOGLE friend. The truth will set you free.
What a load of ....
hooey! Forty five-year-old people getting high, cussing like teenagers (can you say no class), and acting like idiots? You MUST be an old hippie. The establishement? LOL Yes, I must be a sell out. But then again, I know how to act in a social setting without offending everybody in a 10 foot radius. Don't even get me started about hippies. My brother is a 57-year-old specimen who hasn't grown up either, still toking on his joints every day. God gave us the ability to judge for good reason.
MY samples
I am the poster accused of holding MY normals hostage. Cleaned off the sample and just left in headings. And this was a sample with a table in it and I omitted that even. Then I sent the doc. But again, all they had to do was make a copy of a done job and that would have been the end of it. The only thing, I don't think this person was ever smart enough to figure that out. lol.
Get a load of this....
MTSO here - I *used* to send my accounts Christmas gifts, but I stopped doing it. Why? Because one year, after sending a $100.00 gift basket to one of my docs, for thanks, he dictated a formal letter to me, mixed in with his other dictation, thanking me!!??
Another very well to do doc sent me a $3.00 or so Walmart-style Hersey mug with a little bag of Hersey kisses in return for the nice gift basket I sent him.
Two years in a row, another doc couldn't even scrung up a thank you note - no acknowledgement whatsoever.
Another office did the same thing - no thank you - no note - no nothing.
Needless to say, my gift giving came to an end after about three years of this.
You need samples
of the work or offer to a do a trial for a week so you can get an idea of what a page contains and average it out.
I charge my NJ client $3/page but first did a one-week trial and gave my estimate based on that. They also claimed they had local transcriptionists willing to do it for $2. I did not drop my rate, and they went with me anyway. Just thought I'd share that to prove you can charge a higher rate and still get the account. ;D
samples, samples, samples. That is sm
the way she will learn what her dictators are saying. Surely they have some available to her?
Samples
Go to www.mtdaily.com. They have samples of a lot of reports done by transcriptionists. The job board, classifieds, and samples are free services.
report samples
Does anyone know of a web site with surgical report samples and EMG reports? I've searched google for hours and can only find informartion ABOUT them, not actual reports....
Thanks for ANY help!
What a load of crap!!!!....nm
nm
they were carrying most of the load
thats why they were sick at the end.
One brick shy of a load.....
Work load
I've been with Amphion since June and it has been pretty easy to steadily increase my line count. I've never been harassed by anyone. There is tons of work and right now mandatory overtime, an hour extra a day plus whatever you want to work after that. I have no complaints myself.
seeing samples like that just makes
you realize just how valued and appreciated you are by the nationals and AMMT who believe offshoring is good for the industry, doesn't it??? NOT!!
work load
Not too much going on today. I did about 300 lines, (whee!) and did about 1200 yesterday. Boring...
Can you ask your supervisor for samples of
the ESL doctors' other reports? This will help you can get a handle on what they say frequently.
You have a great attitude. Remember if you can transcribe ESLs, you can transcribe anything. Good luck!
Definitely agree with getting samples. Get
lots of them. They'll save you a lot of time.
For me, I'll listen to a word a couple of times and if I can't understand it, I leave a blank and finish out the rest of the report. Then, I go back to the blank and re-listen again and if I can't for the life of me figure out what the dictator is trying to say at all then I go ahead and leave the blank.
I use Google also. I'll type in the phrase after the blank or before the blank in case something comes up that looks familiar or sounds right.
And lastly, I also stop and walk away for a second from my PC just to clear my head and re-listen again and sometimes just doing that helps.
Good luck! If you can conquer those dreaded ESLs you can conquer anything.
Ask for samples of work...nm

yep - my PS said not to load it and I disabled
.
You must get samples of their reports so you can see what they are saying. sm
Most ESLs say the same thing, in the same way, over and over. If English is difficult for them, then they learn a way to say something, and always say it that way. Good luck.
Ask for samples. It really helps to see what they are saying. sm
Most ESLs say the same things the same way, over and over. You just need to see what they are saying. Then you get it.
Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.
I believe MT Desk has samples.

Can't you get any samples from your doc? Eyes are

dictation samples
I sent you an email with some info.
Can you tolerate the ESL load trying to get up

Work Load
For the past 4 months the work load has been consistently lighter, i.e., less work throughout the day. At first I thought the company overhired, then I blamed the holidays, and now my boss is blaming the Inauguration. I have 4 accounts and all 4 have less work during the day and run out by 7 or 9 pm. EST. Three are based in the Maryland area and 1 is in Florida (so the Inauguration blame game does not work there) I can't even begin to understand how the West Coast girls are dealing with this. Anyone else having this problem? I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile to pick up a part-time job or just hope this gets better? My pay has been steadily decreasing for 4 months now and it has to start picking up or I can't keep up with the bills.
Samples? It depends. sm
Sometimes you'll get a large set of sample reports for various physicians. Sometimes you have access to prior reports in the system (which, I have always felt, is a bit dangerous, as far too many times I've seen errors carried over from report to report on a difficult dictator simply because people pulled their samples/canned text from earlier reports that contained mistakes).
Usually, though, when starting out and you have no samples for a particular dictator you just do what you can with him/her then request a corrected copy (or sample) from QA ... that's what I have done, anyway, when I've come across a particularly challenging dictator.
Good luck.
get a load of this math
ST: 250 lines an hour at 8 cents a line is $20.00. (I can do 250 an hour if I concentrate). If I can only do 200 lines an hour, that is still $16.00 an hour.
Now for the VR:
VR: 400 lines (roughly 60% more than straight typing 250 lines an hour) at 3 cents a line is $12.00.
How is that more money? It's a 25% cut!
How many of you spent years perfecting your macros and shortcuts and Expanders just to have it taken away from you so you can't make a decent living?
I won't be doing any VR work. I think they wasted their money with this new technology. They could have given us raises with that money and had happy employees cranking out the lines. Win-win.
Too bad for us. Shafted, once again!
MT Desk also has samples.

I'm afraid the deodorant samples were not a gag...
tho I wanted to gag after opening the box! Yes, that could be true about wanting others (strangers) around since our parents died - I suppose it IS easier emotionally, in a way. Its like being at an office party.
