If the home you're visiting has a wireless network, you can connect to that.
When you're there, let the computer search for the network and when it is recognized, connect to it. You will need to enter a passcode if it is a secured network (which it should be). You can save that confirguration to your laptop for future visits. It's really the same process as with a wireless router at home.
Now, if neither router is wireless, you can get a cable from places like Staples that will connect directly into your laptop and the back of the router. You will still need to set up the laptop as described above but, again, that configuration can be saved.
I live in a small town and we don't have Starbucks, Panera, etc., close by but the public library has a wireless network that I can connect to for free; you might want to check into that option as well.
The biggest thing you should be concerned with is that you are operating on a secure network and that information going across the network is at the very least encrypted according to HIPAA standards.

We're just lazy, really.
Easier to say *Oh, but you do that so much BETTER than I EVER could* - reminds me of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond when his wife found out he was purposely feigning ignorance and helplessless regarding various household chores when really he just didn't wanna do 'em. I'm afraid once she was *on* to him the gig was up!
Yeah, it was great. I really enjoyed sm
seeing it. She was so guarded and on edge. But she rarely does interviews or things where she doesn't have absolute control, so probably that factored in. She was definitely waiting for him to make fun of her, but I think he knows better now.
I loved when she expressed that now she does exactly what she wants to do. It is hard to fault her for the things she does with her time, and a huge portion of her money. Good woman.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, NC beaches and even mountains make great vacations.
and then everybody goes home to work in Charlotte or Raleigh. This beach I went to is only a 2-hour drive from Raleigh.
Your point was? You called me jealous and lazy, and suggested I work an 8 hour shift.
Now you're being "nice". I am NOT worried about others. Why would I want to work an 8 hour shift and produce 1000 lines if I could be missing SOMETHING and increase my production? How mean-spirited you are. I would LOVE to produce more and work less, so that I could spend more time with my loved ones. And to read on this forum the astonishing line counts most MTs are claiming to make regularly - well, I'm either doing some really, really wrong, which I would like to fix, or I'm not doing something that I need to be doing, which I would like to fix! Thus, my sincere question. Truly I believe it is time to leave this board, though I used to LOVE it so much, cause you just can't get an honest thread running anymore about anything - even trivial threads turn ugly by 2 to 3 posts, let alone INFORMATIVE ones like how honestly asking my fellow MTs who are huge producers HOW they do it? As in straight typing or using normals and standards? I try to hang on this board and stay "positive" despite the negatives, cause I really like it here and I really like the admin, etc, but I'm not a glutton for punishment. I know a lot of the old regular MTs who actually carried on intelligent conversations have gone to the board where you have to pay $$$ to post. Apparently, one can still have kind meaningful conversations over there - guess the $$ part weeds out the trolls? Don't know, but its sure sad. Please, don't misinterpret this as me thinking anyone would give a hoot if I left here - cause I know now there will be the normal "good - who gives a crap? good riddance" flames, but really, the MTs who are so trollish are just ruining it for themselves. Thus is their lot in life, though.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
I have a tremendous craving --sm
to succeed in what I do. When I first started as an MT I told myself that I would do anything, including working until midnight if I had to, to do well at this position. I guess I have a work ethic above most others, but that is from too many years of others deciding the outcome of my future and keeping me from being who I wanted to be or from achieving any of MY goals in life. My work comes first, over and above everything else. I begin working about 7 or 7:30 am and work straight through. I take two breaks, one to eat something around noon and one to go and get my mail at around 3. When I eat though, I usually make a small snack, sandwich, etc. and eat while I continue typing. No TV, no music, no phonecalls unless important and job related. These interruptions slow me down thereby costing me time, lines, and money and to me that is just not acceptable. This is more than just a job to me. I love what I do. I have worked hard to get where I am today and I refuse to let anything or anyone threaten that. It is all in a mindset, I guess. but it is just how I do things and I am not recommending it for anyone else. I do get burned out sometimes, but usually a nice weekend away from it all brings me right back to the helm. Living comfortably on my own volitions is my top priority and work allows me that, so work is my top priority....above anything else. But that's just me.
difference can be tremendous
You can use highlights such as bold and underline in SH but not autocorrect. Autocorrect also has a limit of size -- once you have reached that limit, you are unaware of it, as it arbitarily just deletes the oldest entry to allow you to add a new one, or it will just stop working. I learned this a long time ago. Also, you can move your SH folder and all dictionaries to a new computer much easier than you can autocorrect. Autocorrect is only for WORD, I have yet to find a program that SH does not work on, so all of your expansions can be used in excell, note pad, Email programs, etc.
I have been using SH going on 10 years, and I would not trade it for anything different. Best money I have ever spent.
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
Such a tremendous weight loss!
Apple Scruff--Could you elaborate how you initially got started--did you follow a specific diet? With a sedentary MT job, did you force yourself to exercise much? A "scare" really is a tremendous motivator (it took a "scare" to get me to stop smoking, but I am not having success taking off approximately the same amount of weight that you succeeded at losing) Thanks for your tips.
Yes, there seems to be a tremendous amount of damage control on her lately by MQ. What is going on
 and they are just as nasty as my office has been becoming lately with everyone worrying about their jobs now that our accounts have been switched to the NE region out of the local office.

Thank you, I think you're great too! nm
Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
If you get this as an employee, you're doing great! nm

Hey all you true ICs out there, you're great!
Loved your posts. The other gal missed my point. I committed myself to 25 hours a week. Was not asked to commit to a certain number of lines, but I am continously asked for more. I do it in the name of "teamwork," which is stressed at this company. I understand their position, but it seems we are always behind. Their fear is that if more people were hired then there's a chance we may run out of work for everyone. Like I said before, I just need a little more flexibility. I don't think as an IC that is too much to expect. I work a regular schedule (9 to 5:30 with 1 to 1-1/2-hour lunch) and rarely take any time off except my two days now (and I was continously asked to work one of those). Getting a vacation is another story. It's time to move on.
Get a TOSHIBA!!! They're great!
Dell I found to be extremely limited, only 1-2 models. Order a XP Toshiba! $899 in Dec got me free shipping, no tax (it was a special), and a good workhorse XP with a DVD/CD multi format RW on a laptop, all the stuff I need without anything I don't.
gotta say, after visiting MQ board
has nothing to do with sexual preference either
Was visiting a relative in the hospital...
back in the day when hospitals had job postings on big bulletin boards anyone could read. I was 19 and had no idea what a medical Transcriptionist was or did but by the description figured I might have a chance, so put in for that job and two others. (I was going to college part time at that point, had attended a business/trade co-op type high school (you went to school year round junior-senior years, working 2 weeks, schooling 2 weeks, and they had placed me at GM in labor relations as a secretary from age 16-18 - now THAT's where I should have stayed, in the offices at Delco/GM), but then again, that's all gone now, so who knows how that would have panned out).
Anyway, I got hired for a full-time second shift lab secretary/clerk position at the hospital instead of the transcriptionist job, learned a lot of useful info in the lab, also took transcription courses at the local community college part time. So the next time a medical transcriptionist job came up on that bulletin board, I got the job and stayed at the hospital a total of 18 years.
Hospital's gone, high school's gone, and like I said, Delco's gone, nothing but big grassy fields here in Ohio now. Nothing lasts, does it? But I count all those as good days and feel fortunate I got to experience all that.
They're great - give 'em a try!
Nicest company I've worked for in years - respectful, patient, plenty of work and they appreciate their employees. They're a breath of fresh air.
You're doin' great, newbie! nm

Curves is great if you're just starting out
it becomes very easy very quickly and not much of a challenge, and then it's time to move on to a faster paced, more challenging fitness program.
It's a great start though if you've been out of the fitness world for a long time!

You're welcome. It's a great place to live!
Except in February. Dang it's cold in February.
Seriously though, I don't lock my doors and if I need to find the car keys, they're in the ignition.
The way I see it, if them fools need thaht cah baahd enuff, might's well let 'em go ahead and have it. 
If it cranks out 500 lines/hr, that's great if you're still getting -
But if you've been bumped down to 3-4 cpl, aren't you still having to put in 7-day weeks at 12-14 hrs/day to make ends meet?
Sounds like exactly how I feel. MQ has a tremendous amount of unhappy people and could care less.

the lazy way out

No, I don't think you are lazy sm
I have a dozen yrs in, I am an acute care MT, OP note specialist. I have been shopping for a job a lot here lately and I have had my pick, so I have been very choosy and I have not found quite what I think I would like best...yet.
In this search recently, about half the places that say they require testing have deferred testing me. I have a short written multiple choice test to do this afternoon, which I don't mind because the MTSO said that of the 100 resumes she got, mine was the only one that popped out at her as the ONE MT to talk to about this position. Okay, so I am a sucker and with an ego!
BUT, if someone thinks I am going to do more than 4 notes or use my keyboard to start and stop the dictation, they are can take a hike. I have to use my pedal and it needs to be 4 or less, period, and they need to be short.
My current IC position they required a test. The recruiter said I'll send you the test to do because I have to, but I'll call you tomorrow and hire you regardless. She said she felt she had found the right MT for the position when she read the first OP note I had transcribed, and this is as it should be.
All of you are right about this issue. I also think that anyone who hires MTs regularly can tell by talking to you whether or not you have lied on your resume, whether your English skills are adequate or whether you sound like a total buffoon or whatever else. Besides which, once you are a well-experienced, well-seasoned and high-caliber MT I think you have already proven yourself and a test is worthless.
lazy
You're not lazy. I'm old school, 53, 30+ years of transcribing, learned on the job in a hospital, took a few terminology courses and that was it. Best way to learn transcription but this is no more, alas. I believe it's the times we live in, the attitudes about actually having to work daily for a living, management in charge (younger generation?), our love in this country for excess nonsense "education" instead of common sense and experience, etc. I have coworkers who don't even bother calling in sick, they just don't show up and don't even get written up. That in itself blows me away. Nobody trusts anybody's word, of course. Okay, I'm done. I'm just glad I'm where I am and hope they don't change too much more before I can retire, ha-ha.
lazy men
why do you stay with someone like that, I would never stay with a man that didn`t bring home the money and put so many demands on me and gave nothing in return, what good is that.
because that is the lazy way out and sm
newbies are doing this. You learn nothing if you don't know how to research and find things out. Besides there are too many questions answered about stuff that folks should know...the basics....when they get out of school and start. I am not talking about bad dictators etc, I am talking about plain every-day medical terms that go with physical examinations, etc. etc. Its obvious people don't want to research, which I AM SORRY is part of the job. Shouldn't be working production if you are not expert at the profession yet.
Here are a couple lazy MTs now...
Its attitudes like this that give our line of work absolutely NO respect. Take pride in your work girls, you'd get treated a LOT better.
