New Owner Please Come Forward And Show Yourself
Have you heard the rumor the Writer's Union is the new owner of this board and they will be promoting a Transcription Union? With Google's new Medical Record Depository, the public actually viewing their own records, our skills will be in demand and we can set our own standards of reimbursement. Supply and demand.
Well I did that and I can get it to go forward now but I can back up the dictation only go forward.

prison job
What part of the middle of nowhere is this place? I know that some California State jobs pay 3500/month.
Prison Job
I guess it depends....
Did you feel safe there? Are you out of the loop and protected?
Could you live on that salary?
At your age, I would think a job with the state would be good job security, most likely if it faded out they would put you on something else and they usually have great benefits and perks to being an employee. I liked the idea of the poster below on holding off on selling your home and maybe renting a room or something there to see if you actually like the job before taking on such a big step. If it ends up not being for you, you still have your home and there are plenty of jobs out there! Write out the pros and cons on a sheet of paper and weigh your options. Good luck to you! Follow your heart more than your head to be truly happy. :)
The prison's employees
Pardon my ignorance. I'm still confused. What does the prison system have to do with transcription? Why would the prison system hire transcriptionists to work in a facility as a transcriptionist??
No way would I work at a prison
No amount of $$$ is worth working in a prison.
Has anyone worked for state prison?
Am aware of a state prison hiring MTs. Wondering what type of pre employment testing is required.
Thanks!
a lot of them leave prison and go to halfway
Was he up on state or federal charges, because they are different. When my ex got out he had to go to a halfway house first for 6 months and was under house arrest for 2 years and parole for 5. Parole is very serious too. Good luck on this.
Talk about debtors prison...
Who would have ever thought in this great country you would not be able to work unless you, well, do not need to work...
Anyway, in my searches for a way to make more money I came across this information.
http://www.vipdesk.com/info/careers_baopenhouse_faq.asp
This really appealed to me only I would never pass the credit check but I thought I would pass it on...If anyone is interested in still working at home but perhaps getting out of MT, or even supplementing your income this seems like such a great job -
Ever wonder when you call and order a product over the phone and it is some type of a call center how the people get these jobs? This explains how you can get those jobs and it sounds like an interesting field to work in...
Unfortunately, the credit check is pretty extensive and you need a very high credit score to qualify for a job but anyone out there with a nice phone voice who likes to work at home but is not making enough money with MT, perhaps you should check this out...
Prison systems in this state use in-house MTs, I am almost certain of.

If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

the prison transcription thing was squashed before it even got started = sm
At least it was in Florida. Once it made the news, I think people were quick to call around and make sure that it never took off. I, for one, am thankful for that.
Let's face it, if you are a Transcriptionist typing for a service at home, you can have access to all sorts of medical information. Take for instance celebrities. Think about this - what if a celebrity went into the hospital for "rest" according to their publicist. And a transcriptionist typing for that particular hospital through a transcription service transcribes the records on this particular celebrity, and certain information was dictated, i.e. "patient drinks 5 alcoholic beverages a day. Patient needs to start her day with such and such a drug." I could go on and on. Do you realize what a transcriptionist could do with that kind of information - sell it to the tabloids, call up People magazine, get Victoria Gotti on the phone ... blah blah blah $ $ $
Think about it. It can happen.
A lot of mail order folks you talk to are in prison.

what state does she live in? Was she prosecuted and sent to prison or just held in jail?

Still looking forward
I have been reading this board for a short time now and have been pretty grateful for a lot of the information and advice.
What I am not grateful for? The sense that MT completely sucks and is the worst career choice anyone could make. I understand that people like to vent but there are some posts that just come across, to us who are learning and just getting into the field as very, as very bitter and very discouraging.
I am only posting this because I have a voice, too. I am looking forward to working from home, having people ask me how to do "do what you do at home", making some extra money (though I DO know that I won't be getting rich in this field), and learning all there is to learn about our language and the language of medical professionals.
Every job, every career, every field has its share things to hate. I'm sure MT won't be any different. But please, remember when you post that there are some of us who really want to enjoy and succeed in MT. Advising us to turn the other way and run just doesn't seem a fair thing to do.
I'm just sayin...
You could also forward your sm
calls to your cell phone while you're working.
Definitely looking forward to seeing it. sm
It's unfortunate that politics and business so strongly influence the health care we and other patients get, but they are, and his films provide additional information that is for the most part all too appallingly accurate on review. Those most surprised and disbelieving would benefit most by researching its veracity for themselves and not relying on the word of others. Besides, the films are always fun to watch if maddening.
forward it
There is a place somewhere on Homeland Security or FBI site where you can forward them suspcious emails and they check it out. Let the sender who told you to get screwed know that you are planning on doing this even if you don't forward them. I too am sick of the scammers and Viagra ads. Viagra doesn't qualify, but those money things do! I have even gotten "bank statement" things and I block them out or forward them over. After that, I don't hear from them again. Anybody else been getting junk faxes lately?
I am looking forward sm
to being back. I have done a little here and there when needed but nothing where I could say I am "working." I had some health problems of my own that are now resolved so it has been a long period. Truthfully, I wish everyone could AFFORD to take a break. I found out I also had burn out and the break (regardless of the reason) really has helped as far as MT goes. I am looking forward to getting back to it. Thanks.
We homeschool and we are all looking forward
to getting back to a structured learning time. Homeschooling is not something we do, it is a lifestyle, and we are constantly learning, but we have an "official" 180 days as required by our state.
I look forward to talking with you again
in the future.
I look forward to hearing more
...especially about satellite connectivity. That is my big issue at the moment. We have high-speed, business-grade satellite with Direcway, but some companies cannot work with this. Do you know if DRC can?
flash forward
Those were the days! My production dropped significantly when i had to switch from flash forward to shorthand. But at least I have a job!
yep, IC..and looking forward to retiring!
Hoping to get off the merry-go-round next year, am very hopeful anyway.... My New Year's resolution....LOL.
Spring Forward,
Don't know about elsewhere in the US, but here in the east tonight is the night we turn our clocks ahead one hour.
I had some pretty serious medical problems a year ago and was completely out of it from the middle of March to the middle of April so I have no recollection of time during that period. Does anyone recall the exact date that we "sprang" forward last year?
Never liked Gayle, not looking forward to her nm
a
The one I looked forward to...
He did his dictation at home I suppose and every night..."Daddy, stop talking, look at me".....for what seemed like hours on end. Never took the child out, just let her screeeeeaaaam into the mic the entire time, while the wife talked in the background, oblivious to the child...I suppose she was glad someone was taking it off her hands. 
Thank you!! I look forward to recieving it!

That and 'pay it forward'
loved that movie too!
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
Mine was quite a bit more. Hmmm looking forward to that
xx
Was this about the shorthand tips? Looking forward to that.
nm
It does feel good looking forward.
Thanks MTPockets! You bring up a good point. I AM moving on and it is going to be okay. My kids need to see me normal and happy. That's two things my younger two have never seen because he's their daddy. This post became so fun and I love that! Thanks again to everyone to who posted!
Many thanks - look forward to hearing about the keyboard (nm)
Thanks
Pay It Forward........Kevin Spacey....
*Notebook* was also VERY sweet!!!
Isn't THAT pretty straight forward!?
He wants it on there because he wants the transcript to go out NOW!! Perhaps he doesn't have time to read it NOW but you can bet your sweet bippee they read ALL transcripts unless they all have photographic memories, and half these doctors don't even have the common sense to press pause on their digital recorders, so assuming they have photographic memories or just naturally remember what each and every patient's problem is and everything they did for the patient and said to the patient, well, it's a REAL long shot. USE YOUR HEAD. This is common sense!
I'd "accidentally" forward it to a higher up.

Fast forward, very little stopping, no
calls. I have done this hospital so long that very easy for me, know the dictators, these are the 4s also. I do some straight (training hospital). My favs are ops also and it is just fast, fast typing and fast forward on the VR. I did not want to work fulltime anymore so set this 3000 per line on the days I work so I can still bring home what I want to make.
Flash Forward SNAFU
Working in WP 5.1 for DOS. System is set up to automatically install Flash Forward when I boot up. As the Flash Forward bar is running, it stops and gives me a pretty blue flashing prompt saying "Attempt to add duplicate Abbreviation: blah, blah, blah. Has anyone experienced this? How do I get out of it? I assume there must be some way to search for and delete the duplicate abbreviation, but beats me all to you-know-what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
fast forward audio?...
what does that mean? and are you really editing all for 99% QA or just fixing the "bigger issues." i'm not being snide, i really want to know your secret; my system is anywhere between regular typing speed to 1500 per report but averages out much lower than what you are getting.
Please forward the Paypal notification to me and I will check into it.
t
It is where the doctor tells you to "pull forward" SM
something from the patient's last visit. For example, he will say pull forward my problem list, medications, and allergies from job # whatever and you will go back and copy and paste that into the patient's new report. Sometimes they will make changes and sometimes they won't. I didn't know what it was until 2 years ago when I started an account that did it.
WP5.1, Flash Forward, drooool! I liked Smartype too (NM)
x
I just forward my calls to my cell and answer that way...
if important. Or I can just get the call on the computer through my email.
Thanks for the replies. He is looking forward to the Tacos in Mexico! He is a great kid. Will Pray!
NM
Pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to a Discovery program about this. nm
nm
Forward it to spoof@paypal.com, also check your acct directly through their web site...
