"was anyone else dumb enough to pay PCDI for MT training?"

I saw where someone named Nichole asked what H&P meant and someone else had already answered correctly. I posted in response to "was anyone else dumb enough to pay PCDI for MT training?" indicating that if PCDI did not tell you that much then you did get ripped off, and that I was not trying to be ugly to you. Again, just agreeing with you. You did not seem to understand my post when you replied with your question, screaming at me (all caps), "MEANING?"

I was admittedly ugly in my next post indicating that if you could not understand my post, as simply and clearly as I felt I had stated it, then maybe it was you and not PCDI.

There is a job posted right now
for orthopedics and pain management, but it's one of the few I've ever seen. But make note of the company's name for her just the same. (Job Seeker's Board).

Is this the same Nichole that posted a little further down?
If this is you, we talked yesterday. I am the one that emailed you with the links.

No it wasnt me. I posted below. nm

I posted a response to her too (sm)

Someone else responded to her original post and gave her constructive information regarding her grammar. She then turned around and told that person to kiss her you-know-what, etc. Then she kept complaining that people were offending her and wanted posts deleted. The administrator did so and also deleted her offensive post. What goes around comes around. The administrator admonished us not to treat her badly. When she used offensive language to the first response she was asking for it. Of course, that is just my opinion. Are we still allowed those? We spend so much time trying to send out perfect work that when we are posting on these boards it is easy to get lazy and not proof as well. It is just in our nature that these errors would jump out at someone else reading them. We do get paid for that, after all. Of course, there is no need to criticize each mistake made on this board although, as I stated previously, when you come here with an attitude you can be pretty sure that you will get it back x10.

Peace out....

It is clearly posted on their site but

There are 3 schools listed here and it shows their prices and their web addies and stuff like that.

I posted my response to you above accidentally.

Be careful. M-Tec may not be very forthright with you about it. It has often been posted here
about newbies being shocked at how hard it is to get a job. You may email me for any further questions. I have been in the MT business for 25 years, worked for hospitals, doctor's offices and now have an MTSO. I am always happy to help newbies. One more thing I would do right now is archive everything on this board. That will give you a taste as to what you are up against.

I posted it AFTER she told another poster to (sm)
kiss her, well, you know. That has been removed now though.

I think I posted this same post 3 months ago....
and today I look up drugs every so often but still NOTHING like I use to!! It does get better trust me. I have been doing this for 3 months and loving it.

It gets better. *hugs*

Here is a list that was previously posted...

Corrie, I'm the new grad that posted...
I'm the grad from Everett Community College (which utilizes CareerStep courseware) who posted about getting my IC position after 18 days of job hunting and only 4 applications. I'm sorry you found my news hard to believe, but it is a fact.

I posted my good news to encourage all new grads, no matter where they might have graduated from. Those who claim M-Tec and Andrews are the only schools that produce employable grads are WRONG!!! That is another reason I felt a strong need to post my news here on mtstars. When I was working through my MT classes, I found coming to mtstars was a real bummer. All I ever read here was negative posts, and checking out this forum became a waste of my time. I hardly ever see new grads posting that they got a job here. Why is that? Do they just forget to post when that happens? I can't figure that one out. I had to post when I got my first position! I THOUGHT it might encourage other new grads, and I certainly didn't mean to bring them down because they haven't found work yet.

I believe the road to getting that first MT job can indeed be long and bumpy. Actually, that is what I was planning on, and it is the case with most new grads. I think I have solid employable skills, AND I applied at the right place at the right time.

I know it has to feel redundant submitting all the applications and tests to only find out later that places are not hiring, don't hire new grads, or when you hear nothing back at all. My best advice is to keep playing the game. If your skills are solid and true, it's all about the timing! Every day that you test or apply, there is a chance at getting that first job!

Again, my post of how long it took me to get my job is true and only meant to encourage ALL new grads! M-Tec and Andrews are probably great schools, I don't doubt that for 1 minute, BUT they are not the only great schools!

Keep moving forward! I once heard it said "If you are still chasing your dreams, you are not running fast enough! Run faster!"

Corrie - Feel free to reply by email if you think I can help you in any way!

I've posted jobs and they have never been "scoped."

India is hardly ahead of us. I have posted this several times now.
MTs required to do the same amount of work. Do you call that being ahead of us? I don't think so. The only reason there are a lot more Indian MTs, or from other countries for that matter is because it's about a 3 to 1 ratio. Yes, there is a lot of dictation going overseas, but keep in mind that the quality coming back is very poor and requires American editors to clean up the mess, which equals jobs to Americans.

Sorry - posted in wrong place - disregard

Sorry, posted this on wrong board! Please ignore

All we have to go on is what you posted. You are losing work, going out of business, failiing
If you aren't doing well, the wisest thing is to change your situation. Get a better education perhaps. All we know about you is the fact that you have posted that this career is not working for you and some of your friends are also having problems.

above post is a bunch of crap, posted by school owner obviously.nm
