The online class close to me is ''in conjunction'' with a local hospital here. Does that matter?

"and like any field, it has enough frustrated workers to fill any message board"
the frustration on the boards is a new thing. It definitely showed up in the past few years....along with the job losses....a red flag to heed...
Just another note
your 250 WPM will not make you faster because you are going to be spending a lot of time looking things up you don't know. I went to school and still spent quite a bit of time at the beginning verifying things. Not trying to be mean, just trying to inform you of things you might not realize.
SOAP note
Hi! When doing a SOAP note, at the end, the Dr. says "Thank you" and gives his name. Do you type the "Thank you" or is that for the transcriptionist. In my schooling, all the reports I typed didn't have the Dr. name dictated at the end?!
I have TOO (note 2 o's) much time on my hands. nm

SOAP note question
Hi, in the "real world", how would the patient name, date of birth, date of service be formatted on a SOAP note? Would they each be on a separate line with a space between each line? Also for the doctor signature block, do you have to put in a line or just hit return 4 times for him to sign there, wasn't sure if you necessarily have to type the actual line. Thanks
A helpful note about expanders
I just thought I'd offer this up: The ABCZ method for making shortcuts. I just came upon it after reading about it in the archives here. It's just a simple method that offers advice and suggestions about how to make and organize your abbrevation/expander files. Here's the link: http://home.earthlink.net/~agjon/abczrule.htm There's also the book Saving Keystrokes, but you have to buy that. Anyhow, the method description is free for those who don't want to spend any $$. I hope this helps! 
i agree, and just a short added note,
when i went searching for my first job, my grandma (unbeknownst to me) talked to her podiatrist, who offered me a job. I thought, crud, i wouldn't learn much there! but it was a start and i took the job. They were great doctors, it was a fun and learning experience. 32+ years later i marvel at how so many MTs don't have the podiatric terminology that i was lucky enough to get early on. That job was definitely not a waste of time. You can always move on if that first job doesn't help you along your path, but get your foot in the door when you can (barring scam companies of course).
