Hey!

I am a CS student and I am currently in the Editing and Proofreading section.  Boy is it hard .  I am working my way through it.  I will soon be beginning Clinic Notes Transcription.  I can hardly wait .

I better get back to my studies.

Thank you for having me here! 

questions and without being viciously attacked the way you were.  There are a lot of very nice, helpful people here and will answer your questions.

Why would a company advance you to paid status if they are able to get you to do the work for free.  You should get paid for your time and knowledge.  I am new also, only on my second week working, and on full QA.  I am getting paid, as you should be also!  My advise would be, quit now, put this 'internship' as professional experience on your resume, and begin looking for a new PAYING job! 

Where you are at now they very well may never intend to advance you to paid status.  I'm willing to bet the company IS getting paid for these reports that you are doing the work on. 

Remember to check into any company that is offering you a job.  Unfortunately there are crooked companies and people out there.  Best of luck to you!

Hi!  I recently updated my Stedman's reference library and have the following books available.  They are free to whoever wants them.  They have served me well over the years. 

Email me if you are interested at jerrilynoliver@yahoo.com

Stedman's

Cardiovascular/Pulmonary    3rd Edition

Ortho/Rehab  3rd Edition

Path/Lab  2nd Edition

Equipment 3rd Edition

Plastic Sx/ENT/Dentistry  1999

Abbrev  2nd Edition

Ophthalmology  2nd Edition

Derm/Immuno  1997

Psych/Neuro/Neuro Surgery 2nd Edition

Radiology  3rd Edition

I will be graduating shortly. I understand how hard it is to get a job in this field without experience. I know that 2 years is preferred but I also figure that some is better than none. I have been doing free transcription work for free in return for a letter stating I did work for you. I will only be doing this for a short time so take advantage of this offer! This would be a great opportunity for any ICs that have an abundance of work right now but do not want to hire anybody, or if you just want to lower your workload for a short amount of time. Let me help you...so it can help me! This is a serious offer! Serious inquiries only!

BTW, if you are going to comment just to be rude or insulting, please don't comment at all. We all have to start somewhere.

job boards.  There are companies that will hire from the resumes and don't post openings.  Unless you went to one of the better schools you probably don't stand much of a chance of getting an at home position.  Even if you did go to one of the better schools it may be difficult to find an at home position.   There are companies that will hire newbies and pay them almost nothing, there are companies that offer mentoring programs that may or may not pay you anything and some may even cost you.  There are companies that may offer you a position and then say you have to buy equipment/software from them first.  These are probably not legitimate companies and you need to stay away from them.  

Most companies want 2 years of experience, though there are exceptions.  Your best bet would be to look through your local classifieds and see if you can find a position in a physician's office or a hospital.  

I'm looking for a temporary med. spell checker. I hope to purchase Stedman's soon, but right now I need a decent spell check for employment testing!

Thanks!

but I could not get the footpedal to work.  Anybody have experience with this?  I downloaded Express Scribe to listen to the dictation.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for your response.  That helped a lot! 

I think I am just scared and need to get over it. 

Hopefully some day soon I will be stopping by your pub as a Module 1 student.
