I give them information for schooling and this website

and I never hear anything else from them again. I guess once they figure out how much work is involved, they change their mind. I agree that most people think it is a job where we sit here and do nothing. Most of us can make good money, but it is a lot harder than most people think.

Here's a website with lots of information for you...
http://www.peppinc.org/

These people are great - in the past when I first contacted them they sent me a lot of books and pamplets and didn't charge a dime.

Remember that your child has a right to an education and to have her needs met. The schools must meet them according to the federal laws. Don't back down! A lot of schools actually want parents to home school their kids that don't learn as an "average student" so they don't have to deal with it - but the law doesn't state you have to home school!
Please do NOT give this information....

You really don't give much information, sm
so it is difficult to help. Are you just out of a school? Do you have any training at all, or are you just starting out cold? Without knowing, it is hard to offer advice.

If you have some training, you might want to look into a mentoring program. They will help you over the learning curve. There are also tapes you can use to help you learn different accents.

Some companies offer an intern program, I'm not sure what it is but I think it is for beginners. Clinic work also might be an option, to help you get some experience. Or check with local doctors and hospitals to see if they are hiring.

If you are trying to do this without any training whatsoever, your chances are very slim. Being able to sit down and type one doctor isn't even scratching the surface. In many jobs, you will have new doctors thrown at you on a daily basis, so the learning curve is very steep.

If you really want to be an MT, it takes a lot of work, and the training period after school often extends over several years. Every new job is a new experience. Don't give up because of one bad experience, if you really want to do this work. Good luck.
Give them the information they need
Do your research and figure out exactly what system you want to use. Then put together a packet of information explaining in detail how it will all work. I did this with one clinic I had.  I even explained how the recorder would work.  I put every detail of the steps involved so they would know just what to expect.  Also include what their share of the costs will be. 

 

Put it together in a very nice packet for them to read.  Leave one packet for each of the doctors.  Let them know that they can call you with any questions.  This worked beautifully for me.  They went to digital quickly after reading about it. They saw how easy it really would be and that the cost was lower than they anticipated.  One last thing, have a cover letter attached explaining how quickly TAT will be, etc.  You have to let them see how it will be a benefit to them.  Hope this helps!

Can you give me more information (sm)
On your Vostro?  Did you get a 2.0 gig processor with 1 meg of RAM?  Any other information would be helpful.  Sounds like you are happy with it.
You really don't give enough information.
Are you running Win XP or Vista? If Vista, are you running as administrator or a second profile--running as administrator often fixes this problem.
Can you give the website? nm

I can give you a website
If you want to email me I know a website that gives you names of companies that do these type of things like surveys, demos, etc.
Please! I do not give out personal information to strangers on the Internet!!
    
I would not give up that information freely either. That is what gives you the leading edge for cli
You are not a horrible person.

Do not be so free to give your business information out to anyone - it will cost you in the long run. It is a good business decision.
You don't give enough information for ANYONE to answer this post intelligently.
Try including more information like what makes a line, TAT, georgraphic location. Otherwise, if you're truly an IC, only you should determine what your time is worth.
Tired of those insecure team leaders who are afraid to give any information
about the account, the names or titles of dictators, etc.  Are they so afraid that if someone learns how to do the job well that they will be replaced?   Everything is top secret.  
Awesome stuff! Thanks for all the information. to Give Cards you should be very Standard: http://www
Very interesting! I liked it! Profound TV is always Coolblooded Circle , International, Green, Astonishing nothing comparative to Full to Make Game you should be very Greedy , Boy will Table unconditionally right Round will Expect Cards without any questions
Could anyone give me an insurance or maybe licensing website that shows where hyperbaric
oxygen therapy is located?  Need one close to where I am considering moving to.  Thank You.
what schooling

Been at this since late 1970s.


Schooling
How do you tell someone who is looking at schools that they should only go with the top 3?  I learned the hardway and I am enrolled in M-Tec currently.  I am sure you can get jobs from other schools but I personally would like the opportunity for the job placement. 
Schooling for MT
Can you recommend the best online school for becoming an MT?
I don't think schooling has anything to do with it.
I had on-the-job training many years ago and I have no problem getting jobs. It's how much you know, not the schooling. If you have only been transcribing a few specialties or can do acute care but not OPs, cardiology, etc, it might limit you as to jobs.
Home Schooling!!!

I am currently home schooling my son via the interent. I am not sure who loves it more him or me. He is a link to the main school page if you like to look into it.

Home schooling

I home school my son via the interent and it is great!!! He still has friends. School is not the only way to make friends there is church, sports, etc. My son has been diagnosed Ped. Bipolar and is a very, very smart child and the school stystem was only holding him back.


Home schooling is not for every child, but it has been working out GREAT for my child


Home Schooling
I have one daughter in college studying to be a teacher. I have one daghter who home schools her 6 and 9 y/o. The 6 y/o is in the first grade. He reads on a 3rd grade level. The 9 y/o reads and does math on an 8th grade level. They both play soccer and basketball, dance classes, swimming, library days. It takes discipline on YOUR part to make a routine. Her county has a very large home schooling network. They take field trips. This may not seem like much to any of you, but my daughter was a "C" student, more interested in makeup and Vanderbilt jeans, clothes, boys, etc., etc. She was made to wear designer diapers. I was very skeptical when I found out the plan, but no longer. I am amazed at what the home schoolers are doing. My great-grandson is also 6 and does NOT even know his alphabet and is just now learning how to print his name. He does not know his address or phone #. Colleges are actively recruiting home schoolers because they make better students, fit into college life better, and get along better in the college atmosphere. Check out your local home school organization - they can get you started on planning for next year. You'll have plenty of help and good luck.
what difference in schooling for PA's?
vs. MD's?  What can they NOT do?
Home Schooling
I have 7 grandchildren, all my daughter's, and she's home schooled all of them.  The oldest will have her Masters soon.  The next 3 oldest are in college.  The next 2 are at home with mom, and the youngest is in private school.  He has Down syndrome.  I'm so proud of all of them. They're doing great, and it's primarily because of home schooling.
I agree on schooling
If you don't go with the top 3 you are likely to not find a job. That is something a lot of people find out too late, unfortunately.

I'm a Career Step graduate and had my job within 24 hours. I couldn't have done that without quality training.
You were not stunted in your schooling, were you?
Again, if you do not understand, maybe taking a brush up course would give you some assistance in what the poster meant, was trying to do. This is why so many people are upset about this and you, as well, do not have any scruples because you are out to get any and all that you can regardless of the next person. You have no thought for your peers. Shame on you, also.
About 670 first day, no schooling, no training, no

expander.  That was gross line though. 


You can't be a decent MT without the right schooling! I don't care what you say.

Home Schooling Via the internet

That is what I love about home schooling my son via the internet. We have an office here in town and they have 2 days a week where you can bring your child in if they need help or just to be able to work around and meet the other kids in the area. Here is the link to our local chapter and below that is the link to the main company.

Home schooling issue

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10028966/


So much for the benefits of home-schooling and keeping your kids away from those bad, bad kids who attend regular school!



OK, I respect you home schooling, but when my
daughter was in high school, a very good school, most of the teachers had advanced degrees from excellent universities. Her chemistry teacher had a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. How many parents have those kinds of credentials?

Oh, by the way, it was a public school.
Experience means more than schooling... sm
I took typing in high school, became a nurse, dabbled in MT for a doc, and have now been an MT off and on for 30 years, steadily for the last 10. No one ever asked me if I went to an MT school. I took the acute care, basic 4 tests and passed. It is what you know and where your have worked that matters. Maybe you need help with your resume to present yourself in the best possible light.
Check out my post above about schooling and what I think is happening. sm
Like I said, newbies cannot do VR effectively. They just don't have the experience. They need to do about 5,000 clinic and/or acute care MTs with extensive notes, books, the ability to do their own research via google, etc., in order to do VR.
No problem with the anger the OP showed towards home-schooling?
I didn't spew venom, only pointed out the obvious, kids are kids are kids. Anybody who thinks that people home-school their children to keep them away from "bad kids" is greatly mistaken. The minority may be for that reason. The majority have real reasons for their conviction to home-school.

Some people choose to home-school because their kids are the bad kids. Some people are forced into home-schooling bad kids by the public schools who can't handle them. It does happen, I've personally witnessed a friend being put through exactly that.

But, thanks for pointing out my venom (it was not intended as such) and thanks for the prayers.


Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I also believe their country pays for their schooling too. sm
I am not sure about their residencies, whether they do them in the US or their own country, but I have also heard it is very easy and very short period to become a doctor in another countries. It scares me more about them not knowing what to do if they have very little training compared to ours. I would flat out refuse to have a foreign doctor work on me!! To the lay Americans though, they cannot understand medical language period so I think they don't understand anyway whether it is English or another language.
YES, it's true, funding for schooling to replace outsourced jobs...sm
my husband is a machinist (was a machinist) in Illinois where manufacturing took a hard hit. They sent home a piece of paper with his pink slip about getting funding for schooling if the company was identified as having lost jobs due to overseas outsourcing. His company was too small to qualify but I went on the list and found many companies in the Chicago area that qualified. I even posted the info on the boards here about six months ago.

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


Remember we are all "HUMAN." 


 


A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post. 
Tell him you'll give him your macros if he'll give you his Lexus, his ski cabin, and (nm)
;p
Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.

Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.
nm.
information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.

It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks.  I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?

My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid).  It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower.  Does anyone have an information on this.  He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.   


Any information would be great.


Thanks!!


Thanks for the information!!!
