Maybe you were trying to be funny. I don't really

know. I personally didn't find it very amusing. I worked hard to learn nursing skills and I worked equally hard to learn my MT skills. Both jobs are very, very tough and take lots and lots of practice to become proficient. My apologies if your post was meant as a joke.

I'm sorry. This is just too funny. sm
The MTSO did indeed respond to this post, which once again, requested that only new MTs respond to.

There's no loophole there, none at all. She/he did not follow YOUR directions. They were put very bluntly, and I admit, very succinctly, also. So, it is very obvious to me that YOU would never hire HER/HIM or even read their resume.

Right?

LOL , now THAT is funny....!

lol, that ws funny

That's funny . . . I was just going to tell
you would fit in here . . . screaming at folks who are just agreeing with you.

FUNNY
I think it is quite funny. People always post about how they got lucky and this one company contacted them and gave them a chance; however, (surprise, surprise) no one ever names the company. Maybe for fear that someone else will also apply and then they will have competition!!!

That is funny :-)
Too funny!

You're too funny....

I do not work for any school, nor did I ever claim to. I am an MT and have been for a long time. You can say what you like about this school or that school, but the truth is there are many routes to success in this industry. Why don't you put up a survey on the Main Board and ask what school, if any, the MTs here graduated from. I think majority will tell you they did not complete a program through one of the "top 3."

And here is a little splash to cool you down since you become so hot over outside opinion: .

update on my newbie's response!! too funny!! sm
I sent her a reply telling her I was sorry, but I didn't think she had what it takes to be an MT, as it is very detail oriented job. She told me, I'm sorry, but I did not type that. I had my son respond for me, because I was getting ready for work. I did not know I was being tested via email. then she ripped into me with For your information, I wasn't applying for the job, I was requesting information to see if I would even be interested. I'm sorry that you are on your high horse, and need to be pushed off!!! Wow...very mean! I happen to work for a living and graduated with a great GPA for a very reputable MT school, you don't even know me women so don't judge me!!!!

Omigosh, I laughed till I cried

Love how Innahurry thinks she is funny

Funny how you keep coming back and posting this - sm
Makes me think YOU are the "owner" of Proficient Transcription. Hmmmmmm...

LMAO - this is all too funny. Nobitter, you are the funniest, after Kikki, of course.
