 Way to go I knew you would do it. Hey I am in the same boat rocking with you on those line counts. I have been working for about 5 days and only been able to produce about 6 reports. I know that's not alot but everyday I get higher and higher. Further more, I have to try to make it to 1000 lines. I was like wow. The other thing is that I have nothing but ESL dictators so that's why im starting off slow. People complain about the ESL dictators but I think that it's just a challenge and I love the challenge or else it would be boring . Anyway congratulations and I wish you the best.

I am very happy for you. I have been playing email tag with Sten-Tel since September. No word on any new openings yet, but congratulations!
Congrats!
Sounds wonderful for you!

I started out of school doing PT/OT, and it was absolutely wonderful. It's not as limited as you would think since, depending on why the patient is receiving PT/OT, you are exposed to many different medical conditions/procedures (especially ortho). After doing PT/OT for a while, you will definitely be familiar enough to go out and do ortho with no problem - besides the fact that you will have the advantage of knowing the PT/OT aspect of orthopedics, which is recommended for a large majority of ortho patients.
Straight from my PT/OT gig (right out of school) I was offered, by word of mouth, jobs in ortho, physiatry (not psych - not a typ-o), chiropractic, etc. Also, in my experience, I have not encountered any ESL therapists out there - if ESL is not your thing.
If you take the PT/OT job, can you fall back on the neuro clinic since it would be working for a friend? If so, I would definitely go for the higher pay w/the PT. I'm sure you'll enjoy the work. Plus, if you are going to be in-office, many times the PT clinic will let you use the exercise equipment free of cost - usually with athletic trainers standing by to lend a hand too (if they're nice enough)!
Best of luck to you. Enjoy your new career!
Congrats!

Congratulations to you!! You are an online success story but it's nice to see that you, too, recognize that hooking up online can be disastrous!! *S* Best of luck!!! 
Congrats...I am happy for you
So, tell me more. I guess I am excited for you because I remember those days...but not quite the same senario. I was considering voluteering when I landed my first job. I did not care...volunteering would bring about experience so I was willing but instead landed a job. The day that I was to start part-time, a full time position came up in medical records (my supervisor was willing to let me transcribe when I was caught up on my work). She was the greatest. She taught me quite a few things. She initially started me out on an ESL doctor and told me that if I could do him then I could do anyone else in the hospital. I really benefitted from that. I can go on and on...
But you tell me about your excitement.
Congrats Ed!! I'm starting the CS
course at the end of March. I'm taking it through Everett Community College, so I'll have additional help from instructors! Maybe we can help eachother out! You'll be about a month ahead of me, but Everett says their timeline to complete the course requires about 40 hrs. a week. Maybe I'll catch up with you quickly if your not studying full-time.

Congrats! That is wonderful.

Good for you!!! Congrats...
It's basically reciting your resume in most cases. They want to get a feel for you as a person and how you communicate. Then, it becomes online most of the time! Congrats on completing your course!
Congrats and good luck to you!

Congrats on completing your program.--sm
You also might want to check with your school and see if they can provide you with a list of companies that will waive the experience requirement for their graduates and let you test.
Woohoo! Congrats! I'm an EvCC grad...
I really enjoyed EvCC. They expand on Career Step's program SO much and are really helpful. I still talk to a lot of my classmates via a Yahoo! Group and consider them friends. We always welcome new EvCC students if you're interested .
Whee! Have you started testing yet? Congrats! nm
