I wasn't saying that you were
but I have also been told by a lot of people that you can get scammed...so I wanted to ask on here to see if anyone else had done something like this. They have never talked to us in class about interning for another 3 or 4 months after graduating.
I don't know I'm just getting really discouraged. It seems like after being in school for a year and half for medical transcription I should be able to start working when I graduate, not have to intern without pay. I mean this is a legitimate school that I go too, a real campus where I actually go and sit in class for four hours on Monday and Wednesday, and then take another class online. Does that not count for anything?
Jade I wasn't saying you were a scam, I just wanted to get some feedback from other members. I didn't mean to offend!
Well it wasn't
just one post in particular, I see it a lot.
Another thing, just because it doesn't come naturally, I still think it can be mastered, you just have to make a conscious effort. If I was to sit here and pound out an email to one of my friends mindlessly, it would probably not be the best example of correct grammar, but if I turn on my brain and pay attention to what I write, I can make sure there are no grammatical errors. So don't be discouraged if normally your emails need a decoder for someone to read, but just be mindful when you are on a professional board where future employers may see what you write. I know we can pretty much be anonymous on here, but I am sure there are ways to find out who it is!
Tulip thank you for your kind words!
It wasn't one - it was twenty. nm

I wasn't criticizing M-Tec. It is a very good
MT school. My point was, M-Tec notwithstanding, AAMT pronouncements should be viewed from the perspective of their championing of off-shoring. Simply having an endorsement from AAMT should not be the sole criterion for choosing a training program since AAMT does not have the interests of American MTs at heart. This should especially be borne in mind if (or possibly when?) poor training programs start getting AAMT "approval". M-Tec would be a fine choice for anyone considering an MT career. I was simply cautioning the OP not to base any choice of a school on AAMT endorsement. That's all. No need to get your knickers in a twist. Sheesh.
lol It wasn't for this case...the 1st answer was there

If the OP wasn't pulling our collective leg,
then heaven help us all.
You know, some of the companies that offshore their work use the excuse that they can't find enough qualified MTs in the US. If the above is any indication of what's coming out of some of the schools, their excuse is actually starting to make some sense to me.
As I said... heaven help us all.
I wasn't aware that I was misleading anybody with my post.
Did you have a bad experience or are you just going by what other people have said?
OP wasn't asking about caps in diabetes mellitus
rather asked about if the word *type* after diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) is initial capped. *S*
Posts from March said the pay was very low & there wasn't enough work to go around. Ask about

RUDE
Sounds like you have been at your computer for way too long. Get up and move a little, it will unwad your undies.
so not necessary to be rude
rude
I wasn't asking to be told that its rip off and if I dont believe folks I need to go find out for myself. Im new at this and was simply asking a question. I was/am unsure what makes them a 'rip off'. I simply need to gain experience and their name seems to be on every board all over the web. I was only asking a question and was hoping for some actual help, not a rude response.
Wow..how rude!
FYI, I put more effort into my tests than I do a quick response on a forum. I have to say, I am shocked by how snotty some of the responses are on this board. I thought people would pull together and help each other out, but some people can't resist making snippy comments. Guess that's just my naive viewpoint. Seems there are a lot of people ready to jump down someone's throat at any opportunity. I would say more, but I have more tact than that and will refrain from further comment. FYI...got a job offer today too.
Rude?
Well, it may seem rude, but you have to remember that you're posting on a board used by people who take great care with spelling and grammar and make a living doing just that. Don't take it personally. Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but accuracy with words is what makes a good MT. By the way, I've never corrected anyone on this board for spelling errors; this is just an opinion from an interested observer.
I wasn't being nasty - quit reading between the lines
x - but do not think that you are just going to walk back into this like it's a walk in the park. It's not. Things have changed and it's not what it used to be and it is not where the money used to be.
nm=rude comments
From what I can tell all you do is make rude comments on here toward other people. I suggest yoga or pilates, it will help you get rid of unwanted stress in you life. Stop being hateful!!
that is rude of you to type that.
I'm sure that is why you did not post a screen name. Worried people may start screening your typos too.
As I sad you are extremely rude
You're not talking to a mom of a 2 yo. I have 3 children, 2 in college and 1 in high school, so if you think for a minute you can tell me how to raise a child, you are very mistaken. All three are scholar athletes with consistent high honor roll grades. You obviously spend a lot of time alone or with your 2 yo by the way you "talk" to adults on this forum. You really do need to get out of the house and interact in an office where you can learn some social skills.
You are the One Coming Off as Rude.
How do you think it feels to mothers who work in-house to see you saying there's no way you'll work out of the house, your real job is a mom, blah, blah, blah?? You don't think they feel guilty at times because they can't find an at-home position or they can't afford to give up the in-house job and benefits?
That's what irked me about your post.
The other poster was not rude - she was right s/m
It DOES make a difference what school she went to and if she cannot find a job, it can certainly be related to the school. Sad but true that a lot of people spend - waste - money on 'MT certificates' that are not worth the paper they are written on.
I'm not trying to sound rude, but
are you sure that you have applied with them all? There are thousands of companies out there, and testing takes some time. Every time I thought I'd applied to them all, I found several dozen more. From what the woman who hired me said, getting a job has a lot more to do with timing than just about anything else. She says when she has an openning and receives a resume that day, she is more likely to hire them then sift through her file of resumes. I am just trying to encourage you to keep trying if you want it. Just remember that searching for an MT job is a full-time job.
pet peeve but it's incredibly rude
to judge someone's command of English by one mistake in a short paragraph. I know it is a common mistake (I see it all the time) but it really was a typo. There is no need to insult people.
construcftive criticism, not rude
I would call it constructive criticism. Spelling correctly should be second nature for an mt, whether it is an email or a quick response to a post.
MTStudent, the person who was quite rude to you has been banned. MTStars encourages new MTs to ask
questions and without being viciously attacked the way you were. There are a lot of very nice, helpful people here and will answer your questions.

I didn't find it rude that you didn't agree with me. That doesn't
matter. We don't have to agree. What I found rude and condescending was the way you hammered away at how you had to have training, saying that anybody with common sense would know that you had to go to school to be an MT; things like that are what I found rude. Some of us did just what you said couldn't be done. Like I said, it doesn't matter if we agree or not. We all have our opinions and are entitled to them. Just don't try to tell me that what I, and others, have already done is not possible.
