I have experience with hematology/oncology but not radiation oncology.  What exactly is the difference?  Is it a difficult jump from one to the other?  Broad learning curve?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

drugs/protocols all the time.  Psychiatry because it can be very depressing after a while.  

I am actually intrigued by all of the neat things they have done to help with cancer, and people are not suffering or dieing from cancer like they used to.  The oncology field has grown so much and I think it is interesting to learn the new changes that are coming out.  It does get depressing at times, although it is more so encouraging.  I like to keep up-to-date on the new technology and watching the people get better rather than worse.  It definitely has its ups and downs, but it has also advanced so much.  It beats the same old, same old of everyday repetition with colds and cuts

Don't have time to look for more, but one time in school we had cheap glass bulb ornaments and we wrote our name and year on them with glue and then sprinkled with glitter.  You could probably get bulbs/glitter at dollar store.

You might also want to go the dollar store and look for craft kits.  I buy kits every year from a craft store and they usually make 6-12.  If the tables in the room were in groups you could just take a paper plate and pour 1 kit out on each and they could share, or you could divide up the items into a baggie and make copies of the instructions.

You could take bagels (from the bakery outlet stores and cheap) and smear with peanut butter and then press in bird seed, attach some thread and hang on a tree near their classroom - unless you are wanting them to have something to take home.  Can also use pine cones for this.

Buy some plain gingerbread man cookies and tubes of frosting and sprinkles and let them decorate them.

until i upgraded my antivirus software.  strange as it seems.  

had nothing to do with my browser.

I like these sites...

TheGreatDictator.com  All kinds of links!

OneLook.com  Awesome if you want to do a fuzzy search (part of a term)

TheAGAPECenter.com  Hospitals and clinics by state

Of course, Google.

Good luck!

Starting from mtstars.com, clicking Forums, clicking Main Board leads you to page not found.

Wow, these are all great.  More to add to my already long list of resource links. 

Always nice to have new things to explore. 

Once you know a field, it becomes a piece of cake.  I do not agree that you need ANY books if you are transcribing ONLINE.  There are many govt sites belonging to NIH and end in a dot gov which have all the current chemo drugs to date.  We also have other rx websites to check out like drugs dot com and rx dot com to find drugs and proper spelling and when all else fails there's always Google dot com search engine.

hope that helps and hope I didn't cross any rules here for posting, if so please let me know, moderators *S*

I normally type Radiology and love it but was asked to cover a radiation oncology account until my Radiology account is ready.  Heres my dilemma....

I think I really like doing oncology!  Can anyone tell me what the earning potential is for (full-time) oncology work? I normally get paid by report for radiiology (1.25/report + incentive). 

If anyone knows of any hem/onc jobs, please e-mail me...except if they use Emdat/Inscribe, then I am not interested.  Thanks for any help.

Some other ideas to consider:

If you are transcribing for an oncology practice, find out where they are on staff and check the websites for those hospitals.  Many hospitals feature their cancer programs.

Most states have at least one comprehensive cancer center.  There is a list of them in the back of the Stedman's Oncology Words book that includes the web addresses.  They do cutting edge research, and your patients may end up there or may be coming back from their to get their treatment locally.  By all means, buy the Stedman's Oncology Words book if you don't have it already.  New 5th edition just came out.

The National Cancer Institute has a massive list of oncology clinical trials.  I find it a bit clunky to use, but it is a resource.  Your tax dollars at work!

CenterWatch lists clinical trials and new drug approvals.  These parts of the site are free, but other parts aren't (and those are expensive).  This site is well regarded by those who work in clinical trials.

I hope you find these suggestions helpful.  I love oncology!

Do any of you oncology transcriptionists know of any good sites for radiation oncology terms?.  I am a seasoned oncology Transcriptionist who has a new oncology account that includes radiation oncology dictation, which I have never done before.   Help, please.

Thanks

Anyone know if oncology accounts generally have a higher rate of pay?

Generally the pay is the same for acute work of all specialties.  I'd recommend having a copy of Stedman's Radiology and Oncology.  If you haven't done this specialty before, as someone else mentioned, you'll spend time researching chemotherapy drugs/protocols, etc., so the better your reference resources, the more productive you'll be.

I'm also looking for oncology work and would love to find out where you two are working.

the other 2 links I provided evidently didn't hold your interest because voterfraud.org is loaded with the FACTS state-by-state.......if it's too lengthy for your reading comprehension, just open up Ohio and Florida...

ROFL 

As an MTSO, you should never give the "answer", but the way you found it, i.e., the links.  This way they will 1.  learn how to find it themselves and 2.  stop bothering you.  It does work, even though I must say that every day is a learning process in this field.
