I'm sure they are, but certainly there must be entry level positions that would not require ESL transcribing. I would hope to gain some on the job experience first. Just out of curiosity, I was offered a job but the contract that they wanted me to sign seemed way out of line. I'm wondering if this is customary?

there's a reason why most MT's don't have their own accounts. It's a bear to figure it out. Do you have the nerve to cold call on 20 to 50 offices? Have you, as of yet, even started on an informational brochure to leave? Have you found a source to let you know who the new doctors are in the area?  You say, "I might as well get my own accounts if I have to do so much footwork," but let me ask you, what have you done yet? It takes a lot of self-starting to be an MTSO. No one will babysit you through it. You will have to find the creativity to get started and find out what works. If you would "love to receive all my files off the internet," pretend you have a client who has offered you the work. Then research the options, figure out how you would do it, right down to HIPAA recommendations, prices, and how you are going to get that account covered when you take your kids to Florida on spring break, and then you might have a chance. I have heard it many times "I would love to have my own business," but most people won't take step 1. Good luck .

I would love any advice on how to start up my own accounts.  I'd love to receive all my files off the internet.  Any advice...... Please

The whole reason I got into transcription was to stay at home with my babies!!!  I started when I was 21 (daughter was 2).  She stayed home with me until the day she started kindergarten.  I have another child (now 2), who will never go to a daycare. I get so aggravated when people call it "PRESCHOOL"  give me a break!!!  It is daycare.  It is somewhere you take your child because you cannot take care of him/her. 

As far as the social skills, take them to a play group, enrol in gymnastics, storytime at the library, etc.etc.    I know not all are so lucky, but my sister (kids aunt) loves to watch my kids for a few hours a few times a week.  She LOVES my kids.  Daycare workers do not. 

how many mispelled words and poorly structured sentences you see on this board.  Most of them are not typos, the words are just flat out mispelled.  I know that this a 'board' and that it isn't formal communication, but geeeez.  Some of these posts make me gasp.  No wonder MTSO's are having such a hard time finding good people. 

The majority of the people who are on this board inciting riots, or at least attempting to, are the main people whose posts are loaded with ebonics. It really amazes me.  I would love to see some of the work these people do.

Give her a break - she is trying to work and contribute to society yet wanting to remain home with her children.  They will remember that their mom was home with them when they were little, not that they were dumped in day care with strangers.  Who knows what kind of care kids really get at daycare? 

There are plenty of very good videos and shows they can watch or she can work while they nap.  You people are incredibly rude.  There is more than one way to raise well rounded children and the BEST way is with love from their  mother - not a daycare provider.

The school that I went to was "plain and simple".  I have given up and working at something else.  If I knew then what I know now, I would only go to the two schools that are mentioned.  Too bad we can't live our life backwards!

The ladies on this forum are amazing.  The knowledge they have are from years of hard work, study and a good school. 

But I find they like my jokes!  So I continue to post here to take them away from their work every once in awhile.  Maybe take them to outerspace or down a river! Ha!  Sometimes just have them rolling on the floor is enough for me!!!  Same place I was when I read some of the jokes!   And just add my 2 cents!

With these new online programs, post DOS programs where we really cleaned up, that has dropped for some to between 130-175 LPH....A great MT should be able (pre online programs I do believe, my opinion only) to type nearly 2000 lines in an 8-hour period or 10-hour period. If I could do that on DOS programs, anyone could, and privately I still work on a faithful DOS program and for 10 years.

Decades of typing pre MT work helped and then 25 years of doing MT work is what makes some of us pros.

it sounds like to you.  They will have a list come up with any drugs that s/l what you typed in and it lists what they are for and generic names if appropriate.   If you can't hear but the ending of a drug - for example "illin" is all you can make out type in *illin and it will list all drugs with that ending and maybe you can figure out the rest that way.  If ever in question never guess on meds. 

A lot of times new drugs may not be on rxlist, in which case you have to google, but be sure you have a reliable source as there is a lot of garbage and misinformation on google.

I have Quick Look on my computer and it is very helpful.  There are so many drugs, some you will have frequently and some that you may have once a year or so, and then new drugs are added all the time. 

You'll get better with practice, but you'll have to do a lot of looking up in the meantime.

When I go to the drugstore I walk up and down the aisles and look at products on the shelf.  At the pharmacy if I am able to see meds from the counter I look at the names.  New meds usually have ads in magazines and on TV and I make notes about them.
