and some hospitals are finger-printing for background checks.
I encourage you not let your credit record keep you from applying. You will hopefully have the opportunity to share your situation.

For what reason do companies/hospitals want to do credit checks for MTs? nm

great website for credit and credit cards, interest rates
great website
Has anyone used a credit counseling service to consolidate credit cards?
What was your experience? Was it worth it? Which ones are credible?
Already have 72 applicants
in case you were wondering. 
okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.
MTSO's, are most of your applicants qualified to do
I'm curious if most MTs are qualified to "do it all." Can most of your applicants do ops and ESLs? Thanks for your input; I've always wondered this.
My take on this is that she had several applicants but was interested enough in you to call, then...
When you did not respond, they looked at their other applicants and got responses from people that were actually interested in the new job, so two days later, it was too late. It doesn't seem funny to me.
Ok, thanks. I guess I don't realize the volume of applicants they get. I will call Monday A.M.!!

patient records and prisoner records
Does anybody know if our USA prison system is keeping prisoner records in the good old USA, or are those records offshore outsourced too? I am just curious because it seems to me that law enforcement in general does not offshore records, and I was wondering about prisoner records? If anybody knows, please post. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, but hospitals are already largely using VR in hospitals. (nm)

CREDIT, everyone is living on credit, and from what I see
with a rather, 'might as well, we have no future' kind of attitude.
our credit cards are maxed out, we are buying gas, food (which I swore I would never do, how stupid - all that interest for food, yuck!), paying bills, and we would not have survived without them. now they are maxed out, and we are not making one bit more than we were.
glad things must be going so well for you, but look around in your own neighborhood.
the gap is closing between rich and poor. like it is in somalia, for example.
call us doomsdayers, but I call it protecting our own interests.
why is it the only people who are supposed to care about themselves are the rich?
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
TIA - THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR CHECKING ON THIS - SM
please do keep me posted. Thank you very very very much.
Thank you. I'm checking them out. (sm)
My most recent experience was more than the 5 years ago that they ask about on the website. Is that going to keep them from hiring me? Is there a test of some sort? Thanks again.
just checking
to see if post worked
Checking
My reports are from 1 to 50 pages. I can't afford to go over the entire report at the end. I do it as I go, using the highlighter on MS Word to mark the last line of each section or several at a time, once they're reviewed. I use a different color to flag things for the doctor or remind myself to go back and review something I need to verify. I just go back and undo the marker points when I'm done. I can't move along without proofing though, maybe because I'm still new at this, or perhaps it's my personality type.
checking--sm
if you have been doing this for awhile and have not received negative feed back from QA, then I would suggest you lighten up a bit on yourself. I leave my grammer checker on and when I am finished with a report, I give it the once over for any *dreaded green lines* pointing out any grammar errors and if there are not any, I send it on. I get very little feed back on my work, negatively. I also check, quickly for any number transposes, as sometimes I get them backwards, but that is a personal thing for me. It saves alot of time if you learn to trust what you do. good luck.
checking
The reason you hire these people is to help you out not add on more work. Believe me been there. There are plenty of good MTs out there, in fact this one is looking!
What about checking
Windows Task Manager? Would this work while you are connected to VPN? Hit CTRL, ALT-Delete once and up pops the window. Choose USERS tab and would that show you if somebody else was on your computer? Just a thought. VPN is supposed to be somewhat protective, but there should also be a firewall and a program like AVG. Where I have worked the IT people do have to know a lot about the computers. IT people tend to be very stressed out because they get blamed for everything IME.
From my checking around,
it seems like you MUST go out on your own and find your own accounts, if you want to make any decent money and STILL have a life! Physicians by themselves pay much better than the MTSO's AND less account specs, cesspool, etc. Cuts out the middleman.
Definitely worth checking into.....
left office to work here. NEVER regretted it. Good tech support, wonderful, easy going supervisors, great accounts, few ESLs, platform is easy to use. Check it out.
Just checking. It's great to see someone who is

checking my smilies
 Make sure you right click on the picture, choose copy then come here and paste. If this works, that's what I did.
I got a DBA for the checking account...sm
but did not get a business license. However, I do not live within any city limits. I was told by the bank that I should register with the state but never did and I do not recall paying any fees. I eventually got big enough where I incorporated which of course makes all the above points moot.
too much time on re-checking
I was just thinking. If I spent 10 minutes per hour rechecking what I have already typed, 10 x 8 hours = 80 MINUTES. That's a lot of time. And I know sometimes I check more than that.
I need to learn to just trust and let go. What is your rule? Do it right the first time, trust yourself, and just move on, or do you pore back over and worry too much?
I have got to speed up a bit. Seems I have always had this problem!
checking out a surgeon?
is there a way to check out a surgeon or doctor before making an apt with them? (complaints, track record or anthing else). I've never been comfortable with the "referral" from your primary or whoever it might be because I can't shake the idea of friends referring to friends and not based on qualifications. thanks
Checking the dictionary?
Are we watching the same Judge Joe Brown!?! Not the impression I get, at all. LOL!
are you checking references?
nm
yes very helpful - I was just checking
them out at Transcriptiongear, and you can even get pink ones, how cute.
I got my own accounts by checking the want ads.
Any advertised position for a medical Transcriptionist received a phone call from me. I would ask if they would consider allowing the work to be done off site. If they said no, I would thank them and move on. If they said yes, I made an appointment to see the person in charge. I landed a physician's office that was part of a larger physician's group. Through their network, I landed three other offices just by word of mouth from the original office manager. The quality, timeliness and price of my product was valued and through it I received the other referrals. I have never looked for a job since then; they have all come to me. In this job, "quality is job one".
OMG! Before doing all this checking for scam AVs, I'd
rather pay
$ 30.--
for a yearly subscription with McAfee and am safe.
It costs $ 40.-- McAfee PLUS for 1 year and if one subscribes early for the coming year, McAfee gives a discount of $ 10.-- and it comes to $ 30.--.
Firewall is included. The scanning is very strong so that it does not let through programs that I want to install and it asks for permission.
Again: for Tech Support: Why do you not favor McAfee?
checking resources on computer
Does anyone know how to check resources on Windows-XP, also on Windows 98? Thanks
Probably because someone can empty out your checking account before

Try checking out the IRS website. Maybe there's a list there. nm

Have you tried checking the IRS website for their definition?
If there's a standard anywhere, it should be based on that.
I remember checking a document
where the dr had said I was depressed, not because I showed symptoms, but because of something he perceived in a question I asked him. Needless to say, I found a new Dr. That one was obviously mysogynistic before he even got his practice off the ground.
What is your process for checking your work
 Just wondering what everyone does to check their own work before they send it off. Do you read back over the whole thing, read after each paragraph, ....
Completely untrue. I'm checking on the problem. NM

Thanks for the info. I will be checking out the fuzzytummy.com before I order. sm
Is heartworm medication, such as the sentinol, a drug that would require the Rx from the vet?
DH pays the big bills and know he won't have more taken out on him, we don't share checking ac
I have mine and he has his but like I said before, he pays for my car, his and the house note. Just moved here in 2004 and not planning a move, ever hopefully! But, as in my previous post, I have as regular employee been told to take off everything that pertains to my working at home (before becoming IC), room, DSL line, phone (have to have to use the DSL), computer, printing materials, all so I keep all receipts in all years plus we have 3 tax bills for 3 different properties for this past year (just sold a home where I used to live) but all that is kept. What I am saying is I have been told for years as an employee working from my home ok to exempt these. I do not like TAX TIME!!
It means lots of people are checking it out....
in other words, a HOT topic!
Post your resume on all the various job boards and keep checking the
help wanted ads. There are companies who will hire from posted resumes that don't post jobs. Of course you can be more productive with just one speciality, but it is also extremely boring. If you are happy with your current company and they have other specialities ask them if you can do something else.
EditScript - Checking QA line counts
I'm doing QA for the 1st time in EditScript and when I go into Transcription Metrics to check my line count, it says zero. Is there a different way to check line counts in QA? Or is something really wrong?
WhenI first got out of college and first got married, I had my very first checking acct. sm
And needless to say, I was HORRIBLE with my money! I never balanced my checkbook and went on "what I thought I had in the bank." Yes, I bounced a few checks (blushing) BUT, the local business would just contact me and I would have to go and pay the check or fee, which I always did and then it was done with. I did that at K -mart 15 years ago mind you - young and dumb, paid for my bad check, my fee, and then turned around and paid for my purchases with a check. How hilarious is that???
Since then, we have overdraft protection in case we ever need and it and Thank God for the last 2 years or so have never used it. But, in answer to your post, the businesses WILL try to collect before anything negative is posted!!!! It is when you run and hide and don't answer calls or doors that they will have to do it!
You can pay off a bad check and be okay.
We are landlords. A tenant bounced a huge check and then left the house for good. We just went straight to the DAs office and gave them a copy of the bad check. About 3 weeks later we got a letter with a check from the DAs office said that THEY COLLECTED FOR US and that future payments would ensue and then some. Sure enough - we collected!! Got that advice from our attorney! Oh, the DA will collect alright!
If you'd done a little checking on this board, you'd see that all kinds of topics are discusse

Thank you for posting. Tech support is checking on this now and will respond.

Probably too late, but checking Ebay for a local seller sm
might be an option. Ya never know!
They are checking accounts with higher interest, minimum balance required, I believe.
dd
Thanks. Just checking out options in case SE does not exist anymore next year for MQ. I dont really
need benefits and dont really want to be an employee with set hours and the amount of hours you can work. I dont know what part time employee will be because it does not exist now but just checking around. Thanks all. Of course, no one knows what the cpl will be next year for MQ either. I dont know how many hours part time employees are allowed to work and still be considered part time or how they monitor that.
You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

They will put this on your credit
Please get them to explain to you that this does affect your credit in a similar way that a bankruptcy does. After having this explained to me, I filed a Chapter 7 and was done with the problem...no payments to anyone (other than the attorney).
I was able to immediately (upon discharge 3 months later) get secured credit cards and purchased a new vehicle after 12 months. Best move I ever made.
