an MT should know the differnece between wandering and wondering...
:)

There is a difference (sm)
between imparting wisdom and spreading doom and gloom. A huge, huge difference. Yes, our field is changing. Just as EVERY OTHER FIELD IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.

I hate to tell you but there really have not been "American" jobs in my lifetime. Read any label and you will see "Made in China" or "Hecho en Mexico". That is not to say that ALL work will be farmed out to foreign countries.

This "end of the world" rhetoric gets old and I for one am standing up and saying, stop the panic and the drama. Because, quite honestly, the drama and the panic that is perpetuated on these forums does more damage to morale among MT's than the actual outsourcing does.

What is the difference.....
between acute care and clinic notes? The reason I am asking is because I applied at a local hospital and they had in the position section an opening for acute care.

There is a difference between

What's the difference
Thanks for the encouragement. Can you tell me what the difference is between an Expander and adding entries to the auto-correct? I've already been looking at a few different Expanders and from what I can tell the only difference is the ability to switch between different "dictionaries". Is there anything else?

Can someone tell me the difference between M-TEC and CareerStep?
I'm trying to decide on which school. I hope to work at home and I do have a job lined up after I get training.

M-TEC looks so complete (their Premier program), but of course more expensive and longer than CareerStep. Does M-Tec offer open enrollment and working at your own pace? Do they have scheduled classes you must sign on for at a certain time? Are their classes a work at your own pace type?

I know that CareerStep has open enrollment and allows you to work at your own pace. It also doesn't have classes at specific times which is something I need since I have 7 children and I homeschool 5 of them. I just cannot stop everything in the middle of the day to do a class. Also, CareerStep is more affordable. I'd be able to afford to get another computer (my kids use this one for school much of the time and it would be too difficult to use it for schooling) and still pay for the program and the extras.

Anyway, I'd like your experienced input if possible. Thanks for your time.

It isn't going to make much difference either way because
you're not producing a lot of minutes, a lot of lines, or a lot of pages.

The difference in education might

Have you compared how many hours of transcription training you had in college/school with Andrews and M-TEC? Were your instructors CMTs with many years of experience? Did your curriculum include anatomy, diseases, pharmacology? I assume it included medical terminology. Maybe if people were to compare the curriculums (or if you prefer, curricula) they would understand why M-Tec and Andrews have such a good reputation. When you graduate from those top two schools, you are very well prepared to work, and that is what many companies have come to realize.

Right now is a difficult time to find employment because many companies are running low on work due to the holidays. Have you inquired about internships locally? Doesn't your college/school offer any help with finding a job?

Was your goal always to be an MT? If so, why obtain an associate degree? If you have come to realize that you want to be an MT, then maybe you would be better off investing into Andrews or M-TEC.

Have you passed any tests/all tests? Many companies have a direct link on their websites for the testing. I would assume if you aced a test they would be willing to talk to you. How many resumes have you sent out? I believe it will be harder for you to get your foot in the door somewhere, but if you really want this, you will find a way.

Good luck!

AAMT BOS 2 and 3 difference?
I have the AAMT BOS second edition. Of course, now there is a third. I am starting to notice a few things different (such as numbers). I want to know if I really need to buy the newest book or if there is a place I can download anything that might differ between the second edition and the third? Thank you for any suggestions.

It's the incentives that make the difference
After transcribing for 7 years, I was making 13.60 per hour. I believe the starting wage back then (12 years ago) was around $8-9 per hour. Luckily now, most hospitals also offer incentives, differentials and bonuses. That's what really made a difference for me. The more lines we typed, the more $$ we made. With the incentives, I averaged $4 more per hour. $10 an hour starting doesn't sound too bad, considering you're in a small midwest town. I also live in a small town now and wages are never competitive unfortunately.

No, there's a difference between VR and "point and click"
you don't even have to dictate for that.

My doctor (my PCP, not a doctor I work for) mentioned that I probably won't have MT work for much longer and told me that even his office is going to EMR soon. I don't think records will be as detailed, but don't see much work for the MT with point & click & templates.

A lie is a lie, there is no difference berween lies...sm
what makes you so sure that you would get hired to work in a grocery store? Because you are an MT ?! Even sales people are asked for 'experience.'

Maybe they would hire you to sweep the floors.

A LIE is a LIE, there is NO difference berween LIES.

NOW versus KNOW - Learn the difference as you will need to KNOW it at some point.
Trust me, you don't scare us. As experienced professionals, we know what happens to MTs with delusions of grandeur; they are in for a very rude awakening, to say the very least.

word document/template what is the difference?
Thanks,
