thanks for the pick me up :) LOL!
what is really funny is that she has posted using several monikers and gave contradictory information about how long she has been working. She repeatedly states she started her job in October...now it is January...isn't that less than 6 months as she was leading others to believe her OTJ experience is? Maybe I just don't know how to count, though!
She also expressed her appreciation on an initial post when I gave her sound advice to stay where she was until she got her skill set stabilized and productivity up before changing jobsm but you see how that sunk in. I think it would be more helpful if she had taken the four-year course instead getting that "associate degree" in two! No, it wouldn't have helped. 
Offered job too.
I was offered a job there for editing at 5 cpl to start. That is all that I know for now. Waiting to hear more information.
I was once offered a job
at a local hospital where I had to work there for 6 months and then could work from home. What I didn't like, and many may have to do this, I don't know, but I still had to work their hours, and they could go on-line to see if I was working. I, too, decided on this career so I could stay home and work at my own pace. The docs I work for now don't care when I work, (I have terrible insomnia so sometimes I work in the middle of the night), just as long as I get my work done.
Just trying to pick a school
I have been researching different schools and home courses and was getting confused which one to join, I was leading toward the AHP courses,now I am scared after reading all your reply's. I glad you asked about AHP or I would have never known.
THANKS, I don't want to waist my time or money.
Work offered
I am a new and I was offered a job by another MT who has lots of extra work. Is it a good idea to take work like this. Please I need some advice on this.

Need some pick me uppers!!
I am a newbie that just started working last week. I am having a hard time. To the point where I just started crying today! I love looking this stuff up, typing, medical language but ughhhhh I am struggling with hearing drugs. Please tell me this will get better. My boss is giving me more work because she thinks I am doing pretty good. If she only knew how long it takes me to get these reports done. Please someone give me advice or some pick me uppers.
Thank you for pick me uppers!
Wow! I cannot believe how many people responded to my frustration. Thank you, Thank you. I feel so much better. The warmth and positive feedback that is given on these boards is unbelievable. MTs are one of a kind!!! I chose the right profession. Thank you again.
pick up the pace
There is a great book called "Saving Keystokes." I bought it on Amazon. I have been transcribing for almost 30 years and just found this book last year. I figured I had hit my max quite a while ago and was satisfied with my line counts, thought I was using Expanders extensively and appropriately, but this book has really helped me increase my line count even more.
no reference books offered
We do not have reference books. There are about 20 reports to transcribe in the entire course. No we do not use the SUM method. However, I am planning to purchase additional practice tapes from HPI. I was told that they do help with placement. From what I can tell so far, this course gives you the basics of MT. I know now that I will need to practice, practice, Practice.
Not really, but I was offered one account that needs a Cphone....
Would that make it worthwhile? Are they widely used?
Thnx
Can you please share the company that offered you a position? Thanks. nm

Every time I offered to hire newbies...
they told me they wanted 6-8 cents a line, some even asked for 10! I'm through with hiring new people that I have to train about every single thing in the business, from research to finding doctor's names, to software, to file transfer protocols, to long distance packages, etc. They take up all my time when I have other MT's with tons of experience who will do it for 7. Plug N Play.
and yes, my children go with me to pick up tapes on their off days from MMO...nm
Focus hires newbies and she can probably pick her hours

Check out
the New MTs forum at MTChat. There's lots of good info there.

Check out M-TEC.....
you cannot go wrong with them.

You need to pick a school that is approved by AHDI.

I went to school back in 1971 to be an MT and if I would have had my internship that they offered back then to work during the summer months (as it a was 2 year college), I would NEVER have finished my second year of school to be one. Been doing this about 35 years and my pay has been torn in half compared to 1987 salaries. Even working part time, don't think you would ever get a paycheck that would be worth anything.
And if you are doing this to stay home with kids, how do you expect to work as an MT with the headset on trying to figure out ESL doctors and watch the kids too? This profession is definitely not worth it anymore, and if you are still young enough to go back to school, RUN, RUN, RUN and sign up for something else.
Check out Andrews and M-TEC if you want the best-nm

Reality check
When HIPAA went into effect that fateful October, the AMA did a survey and less than 50% of physician practices had any HIPAA compliance practices in place or had started preparing them. That is a fact. In the private office setting, the office can include anything they wish into their compliance notification their patients sign and their patients have the option to opt out of whatever sections they don't want to participate in. That is a fact.
It is personal preferences in complying with HIPAA regulations, not just for the MD but for the patient. That is a fact.
Reality check.
You may think you are a great MT or can be, but experience is not something you can fake. I have no idea if you are new to MT or not, but if you are trying to break into the field and plan to lie about your experience it will show and it will show in every aspect of your job. I know for a fact my company checks references and many companies do. Posting such a question is just galling. What kind of work ethic is that?
Check the archives
I recommend you go to the MQ board - they have their own, you know - and read the archives. You have to punch an "e time clock" and work exactly your schedule. Seems they frequently run out of work, and have to make up that time from their personal time. However, they may be more likely to hire a newbie than another national. Happy reading!
I agree - definitely check out M-TEC! nm

check what is required before u
take the exam. For myself, I did not take any exam at all and had been doing med transcription for more than 3 years now. I did, however, took a course as my background was engineering. If you are just new in this career, most companies will require a formal training. The fact that a lot of MTs are competing for jobs, you would be better off with a formal training (just like any other career). I hope this helps.
Could try RMT w/less than 2 yrs exp. check w/AHDI

Check with your school and see if
Check out the All Type ad
They may consider you.
Spell Check
Try to avoid using a medical spell checker while you are in school, but always use regular spell check. For employment testing, use both.
For troublesome medical terms you might consider creating an alphabetic electronic word list.
Website is ahdionline.org
Please check out the classifieds
board to see my newly listed item please. I think many of the new MT's or students will find it quite helpful. Thanks!

check with local hospitals
I contacted a local hospital (SW Michigan) and was told that they hire MT students and graduates. But they also said that all you really need is physiology, medical terminology, anatomy and typing skills. Seeing how you have a strong medical background, you might want to check into something like that.
Check with your local hospitals
Sometimes they offer training if you have the basics. There is a hospital in my area that will work with you for up to a year until they feel you are ready to be on your own. Definitely worth checking out.
My glasses are fine, thank you, you should check yours.
I never said the poster said those schools were approved, but when the poster makes a statement about the AAMT and then makes the following statement, "I also wouldn't recommend anyone to one particular "approved" school". That comment could be confusing for someone unfamiliar with the industry because the only approved schools are Andrews and M-Tec, which the poster than proceeds to recommend.
It's obviously somewhat confusing because it managed to confuse you.
Double check your glasses...
Poster did not say the schools she/he mentioned were approved.
Check the "company" board
or do a search.
If you're going to be honest about it, you'd check nothing.
With just an education under your belt, whether it's At-Home or M-TEC, you have no working experience.

I saw a couple of ads that mentioned newbies could apply.
Been having extra taken out of DH check for 3 years now at the
advice of my tax guy and have had no problems whatsoever. The IRS doesn't care where the money comes from, just that they get it. We file a joint return. If you file separately the situation might be different.
Reality check and kudos
To all you experienced MT's out there, I offer you my Kudos and job well done!! As a new MT you think you "know it all" which, in fact, is not true. I have downloaded a test from a MT company, and the Doctor's dictations are so out there, it could only take a highly qualified professional to decipher what is being said.
For new MT's just starting out, if you find a company who is willing to train you, be faithful to them. Those companies are rare and it takes time to train you to be able to listen and transcribe some of these reports.
I appreciated all of you "seasoned MT's" and for the positive feedback that you post on this board. Keep it up!!
