I've heard of it and looked at it but haven't done much research on it.

I think that my first impression was it was NOT HIPAA compliant but I could be wrong on that. I'm curious enough now to take a second look.

like at staples? I haven't looked

a - because I just realized this is why my shoulder is hurting and b- because I don't want a new desk and I always seem to get talked into things I don't want.


I'd never heard of it so I just looked it up. sm
I haven't seen the actual test so I don't know how comprehensive it really is, but I don't see any reason to NOT list it. If you were also a CMT I'd probably say only list that one since it's more well known, but honestly, in this profession I think anything that looks good on a resume will at least get you a step further in the hiring process.
It sounds like you've done your research, and your
grammar, English, and spelling skills are better than most MT wannabes.  LOL  You could do your schooling, then work parttime for a while.  That's what I did for the first several years.  I worked two hours before the kids got up, another two hours during naptime, then finish up after DH or my older kid got home to watch the little one for an hour.  It was slow going for a while there until my typing speed got faster and my terminology increased, but it beat paying daycare.
Haven't heard any more
but if all the MEs would do it, we should refuse to do ASR on October 1st. This is really a disgrace what is going on with the company and with what is going on, on this board at times (which is really sabotaging our professionalism.

I haven't heard anything about
it being the last season, but the way this show goes, you never know what's going to happen. That's why it's such an awesome show. I hope it never goes off the air.

no i haven't heard
normally that indicates something that's not true.
where did yo hear this? on the news or through email?
check with snopes.com yet?

and patient personal info is not my problem. I follow HIPPA and that's all I can do
Haven't you heard the joke---
Men are like parking spaces-- the good ones are already taken and the ones that are left are handicapped! 
Haven't you heard of metrosexual
They have nice hands.  My 27-year-old son is one.  He is definitely not gay, a true womanizer, but fastidious in his dress and manner.  He is 6'4", beautiful blue eyes and dresses to a T.
I haven't heard of this, but I did a quick (sm)
search on google, and came up with intradermal papilloma of the breast, or milk ducts, here is one hit I got. It is a benign growth in the milk ducts. Hopefully, it will be as the receptionist said, and clear up for you in short order. I'll cross my fingers for you....

If you haven't heard it already, you gotta listen - sm

Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans, in a radio interview with Garland Robinette. 


I can't even begin to describe the love for his city, the desperation, heartbreak, and anger in his voice.  Talk about the captain going down with his ship.  He's not going anywhere.   He is my new hero.

i've looked at
gateway, HP, toshiba and a local option -- all have where you can change/upgrade to different specs, including which operating system. You'll generally have to tak on some bucks, but not too bad.
I interviewed to work in a pharmacy ... haven't heard yet, but -- sm
the company will send their pharmacy clerks to classes and pay for pharmacy tech certification, even though it is not required in New York state. Waiting to hear back from them this week.
this is a real dead subject, haven't you heard?

So where would I get one? I've looked everywhere and can't find it.nm

oh good grief. Haven't we heard enuf of this? Educated people are just

Haven't heard in years. Supposedly making it harder to get money

Haven't had it, never heard of it, but after I read your post I googled it, and lots of info avai

LOL. Wow, you've thought about that one a lot, haven't you?

It's good to have a plan, I agree.  I'd like to set up an SEP retirement account for myself because I know social security won't be there for me.


No, I'm just really tired of job hunting.  My perfect job would be parttime with regular steady hours.  I don't care if I'm SE or IC.  It's not about only wanting to work when I want to.  I know that the company needs coverage.  However, I'd like to be able to take a day off when I'm sick instead of being told, "No, we need this work done.  Nobody can do it except for you."  I could even make up my hours, but IC seems to mean you're not allowed to get sick or anything.  It just seems like you sell your soul to the devil just for the "luxury" of working at home.  I'm so extremely tired from everyone demanding from me all the time.  I pitch in all the time when they're out of TAT or someone else is absent, but I'm not allowed to have needs of my own.  The more you give of yourself, the more everyone wants.  I feel as if there's nothing left inside of me.


I haven't tried it, but I've wondered about it. nm

If they haven't paid you, are you SURE they've
I've been down that road before. Filled out the forms, had money taken from each paycheck, only to find out about a year later that I'd never had insurance at all during that time. Only found out when I finally needed to go to a doctor. Then WHOOPS! No insurance. I filed with the State Labor Board, won the case, and put them out of business. That sure did feel good, too.
Umm, actually you haven't been "saying" anything. You've been causing
If you don't like it here, you know what you can do, right? For one little newbie, you're sure causing a big stink, aren't you? Accept the people here for who they are, and we'll do the same back for YOU. It's a two-way street. Stop trying to cause so much trouble. You remind me of some spoiled brat having a temper tantrum when she doesn't get her way. Honestly.
I've been hearing this for years, haven' t you.? It gets boring.

You've got a point there. I haven't had a problem since I deleted Norton

I've worn mine working for a year and haven't had a problem. .sm
  I even still handle floppy disks all the time.  The magnets aren't that strong.
I've heard that before sm
then the account suddenly and mysteriously dries up and there you sit on OT waiting and waiting and waiting.
Now I've heard it all.

I just saw on CNN (which is NOT my news station of choice, now I remember why), that people in other countries feel bad for the people on the Gulf, but they figure it is "our fault"  because it is because of global warming and that global warming is the fault of the United States.  Please.  I was wondering when President Bush would start getting the blame for the hurricane.  I guess it won't be long now.


I've heard of that .........
and have a friend that seems to have it. I just give him a hard time about it *weg*, since I have menopause. 'Sides, its IMPORTANT for me to give him a hard time at all given opportunities LOL
I've never heard of this. Why? nm

Oh, please. Now I've heard it all! nm

Well, I've heard it all...
Well, I'm struggling through a dictation and finally figured out the problem.. The doctor is driving while dictating (quality is wobbly and he is by nature a VERY fast dictator) and his wife/girlfriend/friend/significant other is on her cell phone talking just as loud and fast as he is... It's terrible.. yak-yak-yak-yak-yak. She hasn't slowed down one bit to even take a breath.. 4 minute dictation.. has so far taken 30 minutes!   OUCH!!!!!  Why do I put myself through this??
I've heard of it
...about eight months ago and it was pretty user friendly, I'd say, based on the tour of it they gave me. Do you mind if I ask you the per-line rate they're going to charge you?  When I talked to one of their reps last year, the per-line rate they quoted me was pretty darn high, which is the reason I didn't go with it, but if they've lowered their per line rate a bit, I would consider using it. Thanks, and please let me know anything else you find out about IntraScript.  I'll keep an eye on your post and replies.          
I've actually never heard that myself, but
I wouldn't think you would be any less fertile than you were prior to this pregnancy.  Be sure if you do miscarry to keep in touch with your doctor and when the bleeding has stopped that you go in for an ultrasound to be sure it is complete.  I did not pass everything during my first miscarriage and ended up with an infection and was on antibiotics for a couple of weeks.  An infection could obviously cause problems with fertility if left untreated.  After both of my miscarriages, I was told to wait three months before trying again, but I ended up having a D&C in the office for the unexpelled contents the first time and the second time I opted for a D&C in the hospital under sedation because I found out the pregnancy was not viable and my first miscarriage was very painful - a lot worse than menstrual cramps.  The three month wait could have been because I had the D&Cs.  I am so sorry to hear someone else is going through it. ((((Hugs))))
Okay, now I've heard it all
I could be mistaken, but I think I am transcribing a doctor who is breast feeding while she dictates.  I can hear the baby (sounds like a newborn), and her soothing little comments, and then a definite almost like an "ouch" sound, but she keeps trying to talk through the pain. 
I've heard both..sm
I leave it on the majority of the time, but on the weekends or when I know I won't be working I will turn it off to let it rest (so to speak). I don't know why but I just can't leave it on forever, which is why once or twice a week I turn it off.


Now I've heard it all!
Nice try, but your excuse just doesn't fly. Everyone's "overbooked," as you say and the vast, vast majority of people's salaries keep going down, down, and DOWN!  We'll see how much you appreciate doctor's padding their wallets when, God forbid, you don't have health insurance and your doctor won't treat you or your child unless you're able to pay for it all out of pocket.
I've heard like maybe being put on (nm)

I've never heard of this?

Please, tell me more?!!


 


So I've heard
I don't take for granted how nice it is that she stays where I put her (she isn't yet mobile), never talks back, is always smiling, and hasn't even started teething. :) I wish I could figure out how to keep her like this forever.

That's why I was looking to find something to fill my time with, not something permanent. One day all too soon she will have a mind of her own! :) I honestly wouldn't have it any other way of course.
I've never heard of that either sm
Is this supposed to be similar to Word? Does your new computer have a number where you can call and they can give you instructions over the phone on how to work it? You could call the place where you bought it if not and maybe they could tell you who to call or even help you themselves.
that's what I've heard as well...
It's kind of like wireless internet set-ups where if the person wasn't aware of and able to patch the holes in security and someone tech savvy were in a certain range, they can hack into and use your internet service, access files on your computer, see everything you are doing.
I've heard of it
Sounds like a position that is similar to something that I read about in my local paper not that long ago.  It is being implemented in one of the local hospitals in Minneapolis and is a job for medical students only.  Here is a link to the newspaper article:  http://www.startribune.com/1757/story/1060338.html
I've heard that one before - the
protein pump inhibitor. Nails on a chalkboard. Thankfully I just type ppi no matter whether they say it right or wrong.


i've heard some say
that their carpal tunnel symptoms went away after using the classic type kinesis keyboard, ? It did help mine, but mine weren't severe yet either. Or for another line of work, what about dictating for the doctors? I'd bet you could do better than these nurse practitioners as a whole...or take your medical knowledge and go into coding. Or teach local wannabe transcriptionists the trade?
I've heard these ads for these

seminars before, and I'll admit it is frustrating.  It's what makes your friends and family members think you have a cake job and anyone can do it.  But in all reality, most people that hear those ads and go to those seminars don't really buy into that.  And even if they do, they soon realize they've been had.  I encourage those who think my job is a cake job to go those seminars.  Not only does it give them false hope, it also wastes about 3 hours of their time.  Serves 'em right for thinking I have it so easy.


I had a coworker (in the office where I temp) who went to one of these seminars and she actually thought she could do it since she was a physical therapist assistant and had some medical background.  I told her she might be okay if she sticks to orthopedics or physical medicine, but otherwise I doubted it.  She was miffed that this company held this seminar and wasted her time as well.  She ended up working per diem for a nursing home as a PTA to bring in extra money, realizing MTing wasn't something she could "just do for extra money".  Satisfaction.


I've never heard of a company having to pay
when they got out of TAT.   In the contract it states that TAT time is, and if consistently out of TAT is a negotiable point for renewal/cancellation of the contract, but no financial penalty to the company for not meeting it.  My company is out of TAT 80% of the time and rarely offer a bonus to work extra, though does occasionally offer bonus, more often just asks everyone to work 2 more hours.
