That is GREAT news! Good for you!

That IS a rainbow after a storm now! 


I am truly happy for you and KUDOS to that hospital system for yanking those jobs out of the grips of the greedmonger MTSOs in India. 


I would apply myself if I didn't have to drive to Michigan!!


I hope all goes well with you.  Congratulations. 


I love to hear such news! :) sm
It always makes me happy to hear when someone has bettered him/herself professionally. Congratulations!
My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.

As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
Did anyone hear the full story on the news about...sm
using your bank card as credit instead of debit and being charged $20-50 extra.   I just keep catching the tail end of the report but really want to know if I heard it right??
Marry me?! :) Seriously...hear, hear. Good post. - nm

Great news!!! (sm)
Have another question for you...just curious here...am I talking to Sandy Hames who used to work for YOG???  This is JoAnn (formerly Volgstadt)...aka Hummingbird from the Friendship Board.  If the vibe I'm getting is wrong, then disregard what I just said ;-) 
Wow!!!!!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!
I think you have just solved a HUGE problem!!!

I hope that everybody reads this, because this is BIG!!!

I'll post how this goes after I try it.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Great news!
Where are some good places to apply? I am currently looking as well.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!!
Great news for Soft Script
There are a few of us going to the labor board in reference to Soft Script and their stealing of lines.  So far, we have a good case per the labor board.  Anyone and everyone that is interested in possibly getting their back wages, contact your local labor board and help us get what we have earned.
Super! Great news! Happy MT Day to you, too!

That's great news! What a happy ending for them.
~^,,^~
That's a great news Rose, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter

guess, that all we could do for now.


That's great news! Dogs respond to clear leadership. (nm)

Great to hear!
By the way, I work for pet rescue and am a veterinary assistant. A great way to locate homes for pets is to check out the AKC website and go to "breed rescue".

There are breed specific rescue organizations all over the country who can help you place a lost pet or help locate the owner.

I had a lab for placement 2 weeks ago and had 10+ emails from people who were interested in adopting him.

That's the most popular breed in the USA right now, BTW, so it's easy to find a nice home for these cuties.

Merry Christmas!
Great to hear!!! nm

Great to hear from you
It is so wonderful to hear that you are doing well. This last week must have been so rough for you. I hope that you are patting yourself on the back, you certainly deserve it! Good luck to you
Good news - thanks
:)
Good news! sm
She wrote back about 2:30 and agreed to 8 CPL. Very happy. I know it's hard out there, as I was an MTSO. Very happy she could do it.
good news
Glad to hear there are so many still trying to steer their kids in the right direction. I've been wondering have all the parents gone mad. Around here there seems to be a very few who take the time to know what their kids are doing. What really blows my mind is those parents who know and dont' do anything about it--or worse, encourage it. Let's hear it for the strict moms! Whoo-hoo!
Good news
I will be starting back on my old position in the next few weeks. Whew! Big relief! Thanks for all the replies
Just good news
Just heard on the TV where a teacher got choked on a salad at school. The only person around her was an 11 year old student of hers who asked if she was alright, she told him no and he immediately got behind her to do the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the stuck food. Now get this, he said it must have been intervention from above- he did not know the name of what he did, had never even seen it performed and basically he said just had to move and move quick to try to help her. Is that not a good story??
GOOD NEWS
What a good story - thanks for sharing.
Good news. Woo hoo!

Good News
My mammogram came back normal! I am so relieved. I want to thank those of you who responded and provided caring and encouragement to me. I really appreciate it and I also appreciate having this place to come to that is full of people who understand all about being an at home medical transcriptionist.
Sorry not to have good news, but the UK went to SM
the EMR some time ago (national health insurance). Do a search on MT activity in England and see what you (don't) find.
Well at least some good news
is that Sallie Mae announced that due to unemployment rising they are moving over 1,000 jobs back to the USA from India. That's great news for me, as I have to deal with their poor English skills and rudeness to handle my student loan account.
Good news
Thanks. It sounds like I am doing the norm. I was given a different impression from my company, but as I mentioned in my bottom post, the communication and thinking there leaves a lot to be desired. I was also instructed by a couple different people in management that asking for advice or tips on this (or any) MT board was the worst thing I could do. Hmmm...? :)
Assigning Can Also Be Good News s/m

My office assigns work to me, and in DocQScribe, they come up with a little "R" next to the job number for "routed".  Periodically, they are nasty and were obviously attempted and jettisoned by someone else.  More often, however, they are a bank of reports for a particular dictator, who I suspect has gone through the channels and whined and wants all their reports NOW.


The pros of this situation:


One dictator for 10 reports means I can fly through because they're probably saying the same things over and over.  Or at least I can get used to their style and plug away.


Sometimes the group I'm routed is awesome: seven podiatry surgeries or consults in a row.


I like to think that things are routed to me because my office knows I will sit still and type until every one of them is done.  I'd like to think they can count on my accurancy and efficiency.


I take it as a compliment.  Maybe it's intended that way for you too, even when it sucks rocks.  My partner gets nasty, nasty dictators routed to her sometimes because she's one of the few people who can do them and refrains from whining.  Building goodwill with your MTSO pays off in odd little ways in the long run.  And again, while it sucks for you, it might your strong work ethic and accuracy that leads your supervisor to believe you are the one for these jobs.  Take heart!


Congrats to you on your good news!! :)

The good news about links...sm
"missing" on that site is that you can add more yourself. That appears to be the whole purpose of the site - to provide links to references (ergo MTReference) that one might need while working.

Anyone can find anything on the internet; you're right about that. But I'd prefer not to be worried so much about that and more worried about doing my job correctly with appropriate references and answers.

Don't register if you are not interested in the site. I, for one, appreciate that it is there.
Thanks for sharing the good news! (sm)
it's so nice to hear that things are better instead of worse for someone!

:-)
Well, the good news is no one knew you were a newcomer!
But can't you look back and re-read your post and rather see the humor in it? You describe all these horrible natural disasters, but with no detail, and then say your landscapers "suck". Sometimes we have to be able to laugh at ourselves, especially our written words, and that did sound funny! And with fires and monsoons and microbursts, your post just shocked lots of us!
Hope you get good news from the biopsy, sm
My husband just had a similar situation, only his was a growth on the side of his nose. Doctors thought it was a cyst or a mite that got stuck in there. After sending it off to 3 labs, it was diagnosed as Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. They may have gotten the whole thing during the surgery, but husband still has to undergo 20 days of radiation therapy to the site. His prognosis is excellent. He was very scared during the waiting period and once he received the diagnosis, however he has adjusted to getting the radiation and has settled down.

You can be his support. When my husband had all kinds of negative things running through his mind, I kept encouraging him that it may not be as serious as he is imagining. I also have a brother that had Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and he talked to my husband about his treatment, which helped my husband a lot, as well.

Good luck, I'll keep your family in my prayers.
A big smile and nothing but good news for the first 24 hours.
That's what men like best.
Finally maybe some good news on the horizon, please see

Any good/bad news about free firewall

I needing to find a firewall and thought I'd ask you all for opinions - Any good ones?  Any to stay away from? 


When I am on my computer, I keep hearing clicking sounds as you hear when you click on something within a website.  Am I being paranoid?  I have heard stories where people's computers have been "overtaken".  My Norton Security expired this month and just a couple of weeks ago I downloaded a free antivirus program that was recommended by my home office.  Now I'm without a firewall and I think I made a mistake in doing that.


Not-so-good news re: medical coding,
I was watching the news tonight (Sacramento, CA area), and there was a story about a lady who was looking for work.  She had spent $10,000 on a coding/billing education, but can't find work.  Apparently that field is "saturated", as the newscaster said.  (Maybe from lots of MTs trying to get into that?)  Anway, I had sort of been thinking about going to school to learn coding, but now I think I'll pass.
I hate to hear that. She was great in Pete's Dragon

I love hearing good news! Congrats to you BOTH! NM

That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

It's nice to hear of a happy ending! Great of MT Stars! nm

that is so so good to hear
praise God from who all blessings flow...
That's good to hear
This is the first thing my doctor wants me to try.
Good to hear it can be done
I am not skeptical, I am encouraged to know that that much money can be made in this field and am glad you were willing to share it. I'm a fairly new MT (just hit 3 years) and average about $20 an hour as an employee working full time, plus benefits. I feel like I'm doing fairly well, but would like to make more and sometimes get discouraged when I read posts on this board about people with umpteen years of experience making $12 an hour. I know that in many ways this is a tough field, but there are people who do quite well at it, despite all the negative talk.
That is good to hear - sm
I have the same issue. Been using Smartype since it came out for Word (used it in DOS and loved it), but recently bought IT but have not even had time to put it on my computer yet, have it here on my desk for almost a month now, need to get it loaded on my computer and bite the bullet. I have heard to kind of wean yourself into it, and as I have a mountain of work this weekend I guess it will have to wait once again, until Monday, regardless if I have gotten all this work done or not. Thanks for the head's up, gives me some hope!
So sorry to hear this - good luck to you

SOOO good to hear from you --sm
So many people on this board expressed concern for you well being, I was surprised. But I am VERY glad that you did so well and accomplished what you meant to accomplish. I applaud your efforts and wish you the best of luck. I am a bit concerned about the doctor situation though. No doctor should have such control over someone's physical care as to put pressure on someone who works with them. That is not ethical! I understand your concerns about your husband's position and I am not suggesting that you do anything drastic, but it sounds like someone is holding a weapon over your husband's head to make you continue you care with them. You have a right to choose your own doctor and not suffer any consequences. This is still the USA, not matter what her problems, and you still have the freedom of choice. Please continue on your present course of action and only do what you feel comfortable doing, but please keep in mind also that no doctor should FORCE you to take care from them. Please also continue to come here to talk about things. There are some very supportive people on this board, and use them when you need to. All best wishes to you!! You should be so very proud! and bless your husband for being so understanding too!
I hear CareerStep is good
I hear CareerStep is good, online, and they offer placement with companies guaranteed if you make 90 or better on your final.

I was blessed enough to get to train with a friend, work under her for 4 years, then went off on my own, but these days, school is an absolute must. Best of luck to both ladies.
Glad to hear you all had a good time. :)
