"nm" that I see after some of the posts mean "no message" or something, so the MTs don't have to bother clicking on it for further text?  The "sm," is that "see message?"

experience.  I've asked questions before also but when I do, I will state the references that failed my efforts.  Everyone needs help now and again, but when someone leans too often on the power of the knowledge of others, it becomes a problem.  Will they remember what someone else _told_ them the next time that term/phrase comes up again?  Statistics have proven that 98% of what we retain is by learned by doing it first hand.  That means 98% of the people will not retain what they are told.  I like the quote "knowledge knows when to speak and wisdom knows when to listen."  I'm afraid we are somewhat short on wisdom on this board.

Subject: Read the TOS for the board

It states that this board is not designed to be a place to get unlimited advice.  It is here to foster dicussion.  My opinion is people tend to use this site as a crutch because they lack maturity or motivation or just don't care to experience the pleasaure of researching and making discoveries that will benefit them for life.


Opinions are what the board is here for..

Subject: No, this is not a suggestive help board, sm

You're thinking of another word board where suggestions and hints are given rather than the actual term in question so that the person asking the question does his/her own work and learns something from it. This board, as someone once said and was badly flamed, "spoon feeds" answers to questions. The answers should be researched before they are provided. It is up to the questioner to research the supplied answers to make sure they fit in with the dictation.

No one can learn from incorrect answers like "expressive achalasia" and "polynephritis." They'll only lose their jobs and wonder why.

it used to say so right at the top of the board, that it's not for testing or for school questions. They are supposed to do their own research instead of asking questions here. It isn't my rule. She can ask the site administrator what the rule is.

SOAP Transcription is a company in Michigan. They do ER transcription and also run an MT school.

I was offered a job, but did not take it, so I do not know what they are like to work for. They seemed very nice on the phone.

that I don't want to be intimidated if I haven't checked all references (I love being able to hop on here and get answers). I just don't understand why someone would take the time to check this board and tell someone to get reference books and do it 3-4 times. But nonetheless, you are right, it was useless. Sorry, am I forgiven? I love the main board and word board.
