If you get a doctor to prescribe it without testing from
at least a psychologist I'd go to another doctor. Adderall isn't something they should be prescribing casually. I believe it is a class that you can't get refills called in, but have to have a hard copy every time.
God gave us the ability to judge for good reason. Then told us judge not, lest thou be judged. NM

Line-based vs. hour-based requirement
Hospitals do have an hourly requirement, and generally incentive after a certain line level. MQ only has a line based requirement, which is 12,000 per pay period. The hourly requirement is strange, unless they now plan to convert to an hourly pay plan?
Regarding testing. I have given in-depth testing but I have come to find that sm
no matter what a company wants, be it ESL specialist, etc., the best test to give ANY applicant is one that is not planned, one given right on the spot, verbal, one that has not been scheduled so the person has had no time to get nervous, but throw about 15-20 questions at them, general knowledge for their level of skill, and it can tell you wonders about their knowledge that is retained!! I actually find that the retention rate of folks hired this way is actually higher than intense testing given by some of these larger national companies. We all know that it takes sometimes a couple of weeks for even the best MTs to understand (I am speaking of the ESLs or bad dictators). There are some companies that give these as tests and what does that tell? Tells nothing and means nothing! Some of these that do well on these actually cannot do the work. How do we know that these folks have not actually had someone else do the test for them?
I find the best way is to pull a pop test on the spot in the middle of the interview and it works! Don't ever give the same questions to two separate applicants. Have a database of questions to pull from. Score from the ones you ask and move on from there. If the person cannot do the work, you know it in a day.
I believe it was the old EDiX that used to give over the phone questions, but they still scheduled this and people had time to get nervous. This way there is no time and well, you would be surprised at what folks actually do know...and in some cases...what folks actually do not know when given multiple choice, but to me this is an excellent way of testing, takes very little time, which I personally consider to be too valuable to waste 3-4 hours on a test, which someone who is experienced and has worked for 10 to 15 years in the field should not be required to do anyhow, should not be asked to do. When you have worked 12 hours during that day for a company (and some have), why should they have to take 4 hours to do a test?!
Think about it!!
I have recently spoken to other recruiters from other companies and they have agreed with me on this and I hope it catches on because it certainly is less time consuming and tells you all you need to know without giving them the actual work to do.
Love Judge Judy but love Judge Joe
Brown. I often wonder how many of the people involved in Judge Joe's cases have to go home and look up in the dictionary what he said to them. Some of them just have blank faces staring at him when he is giving them a lecture, w/o a clue of what he is actually saying to them.
Who is anybody here to judge how somebody
lives their life, how much money they make, or where they live? Just because somebody doesn't live the way you do (or would like to) doesn't make it wrong, and she should be proud to be living where she wants and to wake up every morning in a place she loves. My house isn't the greatest house, but I love it and am proud that I am able to be buying it on my own. I don't see the need for people to be putting her down after she was ASKED to share details of her home.
to sm and tm...do not judge until you have
judge not, lest ye be judged
does that ring a bell....hmmmm?
Please don't judge
For some it does not make sense to leave the home when you add child care costs, expense of a car, gas, clothes, food and so on. Please don't judge. I like to think when my daughter is grown up, she will appreciate that I was home for her not that she had a nice vacation (you seem to keep mentioning that)or the finer things in life.
It is confusing. But it's the only way to actually judge how much you are...
getting paid for the exact same amount of work. As long as you work with the same big block of text, it works perfectly.
Judge Alex!

Does anyone like Judge Judy?
I think she's mean and rude!
Judge Judy
I think she makes a lot of incorrect judgements based on insufficient evidence and also sometimes refuses to hear evidence in someone's defense. I dont like her. I dont watch her anymore either.
I just think it's crappy to judge m
someone's ability to responsible by their credit report, especially in these times when you can make the same amount of money as you have been and have just the basics (no luxuries) and everything has gone up and you scrape to make ends meet. I know many people like this now. I've even read articles on how people are in worse credit card debt than ever because of what I just described and they're bridging the gap by having to charge x amount each month to get by. It's very sad. Because one's credit is poor most often isn't because of a lack of responsibility or willingness to pay, just life happening.
Well, if it is unchristianlike to judge and
condemn others for what they believe, then why do the born again or saved christians believe God does all of those things? I do not choose to be born again or saved because I simply do NOT believe that God judges or condemns. I believe if I simply live a good moral life free of major sin, I too will go to heaven. And I also like to believe that God forgives; and of course I'm not talking about murderers or just plain evil people here. It is so odd because it is the born again christians stating that if you are not saved or reborn that you basically may not be accepted in heaven. Doesn't that make God seem just a bit like a judging, condemning and almost evil being? Very strange religion if you ask me. JMO.
so quick to judge
come down to earth people.
can only judge from own experience
Maybe the other is so, or maybe it is mgmt speaking, who knows.
Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

You know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor. nm

and you Judge only Certain Posters as Fools?
and only MQ Certain Posters upset and embarrass you? why not address MQ Certain Posters rather than making blanket statements?
with all due respect you are backtracking big time and sliding a bit on the truth side. read your posts over. but that's okay. kind of clintonish whether you like it or not.
You shouldn't be so quick to judge.
Those of us who haven't got as high a pedestal as you have made mistakes in our lives. It is not the child's fault we made a bad decision. Single mothers have it really rough and I should know.
The above poster did not make it sound like it had anything to do with her being a single mother.
I am married now but, at times, have been the "breadwinner" if you will, for my family. Would that make it sound better?
I don't want to be treated any better than anyone else, but I have had to do a lot of things.
The recruiter made a mistake. She should have never put the offer out there if she wasn't completely sure.
You can't judge a company by how often they hire. This could be
due to new accounts no turnover.
The truth is that most people look beyond the postings on this board and others because it is too hard to separate truth from fiction.
Don't be so quick to judge Supercuts. sm
The fact is there are bad hairstylists everywhere as much as there are fabulous ones. My sis worked for Supercuts for years , just recently left to start her own biz on the side after taking a cushy county job. She took a huge cliental with her also; she's really, really good at her job. The fact is places like Supercuts do so much more business than smaller salons and so generally those working there have a lot more experience than you might think. My whole family patrons our local Supercuts and most of the ladies there are really very good. There are one or two over the last couple years we have learned are not so good, so we just don't let them cut our hair. Can't beat the prices either.
Love Judge joe brown!
 he's my fave
Judge Mathis my favorite!
What a sense of humor he has (plus sharp legal mind)! Both he and his bailiff--very cute!
What does Povitch have to do with Judge Judy?
:[
disagree - all bibles say Judge not....sm
Born agains that I have run into act like they have never sinned.....yeah....right....it's the reason they become born again to begin with, they wipe the slates clean once re-born as if the BAD never happened prior to them becoming born again. Everyone that I have met (including the x-spouse who became born again after the divorce) just appears to me to be so darned hypocritical!
Just my nickel's worth.
Please dont judge all by the bad apples
Some of us are happy with what we do and are happy to lend a hand. Not all, or even the majority of us are rude. There are just a few that like the attention on these boards i think.
You can't judge people by what coast they live on....
I am originally from the East Coast and I am NOT a "nasty woman". The writer was cold hearted yes....but it doesn't give you the right to blame the East Coast. You could live anywhere...it depends how you were raised in the long run. I was taught to always treat others as I would expect to be treated...imagine that from an East Coast momma! Have a good day.
Who are you to judge? Most people gripe about their spouses,
Its called venting. We're allowed to do that.
Don't be so quick to judge others by yourself busy-body MT!
No joke.
PS: Where do you get the TIME IN your busy schedule to prepare essays and lectures to MTs what with your "busy" MTing and getting degrees etc? How's dano? She seemed to back you up with essays also. Same hahaha. Worn out?
I love Judge Judy. She tells it

I love Judge Judy! She's awesome!

On the contrary, Christians ARE expected by God to judge sin. sm
There are numerous versus to back this up. There is a verse that says if we as Christians observe a fellow Christian falling into sin, we are to go to that person (in love, not condemnation) and try and guide them back onto the right path away from destruction. How are we to follow God's laws if we do not judge right and wrong? That verse has been taken so far out of context.
WHAT WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE is another person's relationship with God or whether that person has obtained salvation or is saved.
WE ARE EXPECTED TO JUDGE SIN. I'll be happy to dig up the verses for anyone who would like to see them.
Whoa . . . another thing, don't be so quick to judge.
It depends on the type of account you're on. A lot of time the 300 lph MTs are working on short clinic notes for one or two docs or ER reports. There's a big difference in the types of account you're on. I work on an acute care account for a large teaching hospital. I do H&P, consults, ORs, discharge summaries, echos, eegs, and about anything else they dictate for internal medicine and all the specialties, including infectious disease, radiation oncology, cardiology, neurology, etc., you get the picture. Sure, I can fly on short clinic notes or ER reports, but then I get so bored I could scream. My dictations are more technical and time consuming, but much more interesting. I have to stop and research sometimes on the latest meds or procedures, but it keeps me on my toes!
Okay, I understand that...but judge was wrong in the final decision.
These judges need to get off their high horse. They're lawyers for crying out loud!
Taken from article: Far too much injustice is perpetrated on individual plaintiffs and defendants because of questionable judges. Even more important, people's faith in government and in our society is seriously undermined by the presence of too many such judges presiding over our courts.
Love Judge Judy!! - she does not mince words
Sounds like Judge Marilyn Milian is ruling.
.Best Wishes..
Laura Bush, Judge Judy, Mariska Hargitay (from L&O SVU)

I watch Judge Judy and am not a crazy and do not like Sylvia Brown! :) NM

When I worked on site, we would judge docs by ability to dictate ...
As it turned out, our assessments were usually correct as to who the best/worst doctors were by the way they dictated. It was not necessarily just that they pronounced words correctly. It had more to do with general sloppiness and lack of attention to detail.
Good thing you're the self-appointed talent judge to the stars,
LOL
I don't think so - my pay is based
on my base rate of 9 cpl and then my incentive that can be as high as 2 cpl.
Nothing was mentioned about extra pay for weekends or holidays.
M, based on what you know,,,,
from doing transcription for an insurance company, what do you feel is a fair price to charge per page. The font is Courier new 12; the right and left margins are 1.5 inches - each side, with the top and bottom margins being 1.0 inch - each side.
If her job was based on that and they
found her out I guess they could fire her, but unless she is saying she is an MD or such and practicing, doubt it.
Have set up the new web-based email,
still not getting any info that you are "quoting" on this board.
Wonder why ALL MT's are not getting the same info???
levels are based on what you can
do, i.e., can you do ANY type of report or only clinic notes? the more types of work you are able to do the higher your level. Supervisor told me about levels, I think they are relatively new.
I think your compensation would be based on the...sm.
following: Your level of experience, the time that you are able to commit to transcribing each day, your use of expanders, your baseline typing skills, your ability to utilize the software package utilized by the company, your ability to adapt, and you ability to negotiate your line rate.
DOS based system
Has anyone ever worked for a company that is DOS based? I started a new job today, and their system is in DOS. To me it is really old-school, but I guess I will just have to learn.
American-based here!

What exactly is a DOS based program?
I think I have heard this is kind of an outdated platform; is it really? Also, is it anything like Word or WordPerfect, and is it complicated and slow to use? THANKS!!!
Most are internet based. $$$
