Assciate in Arts, medical secretarial curriculum. 2 years with courses in sm

anatomy and physiology, biology, clinical biology (taking and processing lab tests--drawing blood on each other!!), filing, skills on all types of office machines, English composition, accounting, psychology, economics, medical terminology/transcription, and, of course, typing.  In the second year we did internships at local city hospitals. 


I went into transcription after working as a medical secretary for 7 years in a very large clinic. 


Associate in Applied Medical Science, Bachelor's in Liberal arts with emphasis on Psychology

Buy a bark breaker from pet supply catalog (sm)
PetEdge (they are also online) sells a couple of products for kennels that issue corrective noises for barking. You can install certain models outside aimed at the nuisance and it might train him not to bark.

Culinary arts
There is a demand for the culinary arts field. Depending on where you live, you can land a pretty sweet job in an upscale hotel or restaurant, or even start your own business. I thought of that also because I love to cook and consider myself a gourmet cook. The reason I did not pursue culinary arts is that my tastes are limited - I don't like most seafood or organ meats, and some of these gourmet dishes require a wide, and I do mean wide, palate of taste! Good luck to you and do what your heart desires.
Remember ARTs?

Accredited Records Technicians?  They used to offer that program when I was learning transcription, about 25 years ago.  Do they still have those?  I haven't heard anyone mention that title in years. 


Bachelor of Fine Arts - sm
Used to do craft shows (high dollar ones not flea markets) for jewelry, sterling silver and niobium. Once kids are out of school will probably get back into it again, have a full studio collecting dust - never made tons of $, but $400-$800 gross a weekend at a good show.
I'm going to a local community college for culinary arts, I'm 52. nm

Proper or pretentious to use *AA* (assoc/arts) after one's name professionally? (nomsg)

and how many liberal arts and science bachelors degrees & beyond are held on this board?

Are you willing to give any info?  Did you work for them?  Thanks!


Where's the press release?
?
We should all send this to the Associated Press too,
which would be published in newspapers across the whole country.

info@ap.org
Press the FN key and Scroll (next to F12)

Ordered one!
After doing some searching on-line, including local office stores, and E-bay, I decided on the Pearlcorder T1100 (hopefully built to withstand a little heavier use) from digitalfotoclub.com It seemed to be the best price for what I was looking for.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
I just ordered one of those but thru AT&T - sm
Sprint did not have coverage where I am. It is enroute to me as I type.....probably have it in a few days, cannot wait!!!!! I just hope it works. Verizon offers it too. 595U AirCard/Wirelss modem. I wanted this one and not just the card since I can use it on my desktop and the laptop since it connects via the USB port and not a card slot (on laptop). I will post and let those interested know if/how it works when I get it. This is my last ditch effort to get high-speed where I am; told my neighbor I ordered it, she said you know now we will get DSL next month. Well we will see (doubt it though really). I'll worry about that when it happens!
I have not yet, but just ordered on of those MS - sm
Natural Multimedia keyboards that were being discussed here last week or so. Hard to find, but got one used at a place called Tech for Less, only $22. Shipping was $18 I think. This is a great site, great prices, ended up also buying a floppy drive I needed for my new laptop and a modem, each for $10 and brand new too. They have both new/new opened/and used. I will probably end up buying the external hard drive I have been putting off buying from them too, just need to do a little research first. But check it out, pretty cool stuff there.
has anyone heard of x-press transcription

i took a test with them last week and hadn't heard anything.  any info?


thanks


 


Of course not, the press release has already been released...sm
and it's all over the local news. Couldn't even tell my family until the press release went out. Actually, couldn't even tell my coworkers before the press release went out. Thanks for your concern, but I'm well versed in security, etc.; particularly this past week.
I wish we had a big button we could press that went BZZZZZZTT!!

There is an Associated Press article in today's sm

paper about increasing car sales in India.  The Indian people are enjoying higher wages and are now able to purchase cars.  Car makers are scrambling to get pieces of this new, juicy pie. 


I wonder how long it's going to take before sending our work to India is not cost effective for the MTSO anymore.  The Indian MTs won't be able to live on their 2 cpl anymore and will need more, and more.  It's going to be interesting to see this evolve. 


There's hope for us!


just press the Ŗ" button to slow it down
The "3" key speeds it back up
Hold Shift and press F3 twice
F3 cycles through sentence case, uppercase, then all lowercase.
Sent It to New York Times and Associated Press
Send this or your own letter.  Let us know if anyone gets a response.
I sent it to 2 staff writers for the Associated Press plus...
Forbes Magazine, 60 Minutes, USA Today, Washington Post, NY Times, and a couple of others.  The Editor who e mailed me did not know I was an MT but that's okay - you investigate one offshored industry, you investigate them all.  I asked him to check into any credible sources he had.  You may have noticed in my letter it constantly said, "See what you can find out."
You can still highlight your word and press Alt-T-A to... sm
get to the Autocorrect dialog box in 2007. Your highlighted text is already in the With box. Just type your abbreviation and tab to the OK button and hit Enter. A lot of the old shortcuts still work even though the menus are no longer on the ribbon.
I haven't actually ordered it yet sm

But I don't think it will be too difficult for me since I already use a split keyboard. This just means less mousing while working. I will still use my mouse when web surfing, etc. Hope you find something that works for you.


I ordered them and used them for about a week or two...sm
I had the same concern about the batteries near my brain, almost a slight buzzing when you foot is not on the pedal. I ended up calling customer service and they gladly switched them for me to the less expensive QC1 headphones. I love them.
Has anyone ordered through PCDictate?
Are they legitimate?  I would like to order a foot pedal and they seemed to have the cheapest price.  TIA.
I just ordered a gel cushion....
with a section cut out in the back for the coccyx...I sure hope it helps, by the end of the day my bum is tingling and my back aches. Anyway, if it is helpful I will post another note.
accutype, x-press transcription, Medquist

Help!  Need some info please.  I have been an MT since 1992 first in a clinic setting, and now in hospital since 1996.  I have been doing Radiology transcription and love it.  I have been looking for an at home job for the past couple of months and have been offered a couple positions.  I currently get paid by the hour and have no idea how to convert my work to line count.  I have been offered .075, .08 and .09 no spaces?  Anyone type PET scans and know what the line count is on a report like that?  They told me they would give me 9 reports and I would be busy all day which I can't believe because I can usually type 25-30 reports an hour of MR, CT, US, MN and general x-ray. 


Thanks, TLB


Have always heard good things about X-Press
and have heard they pay really well
Any current info on X-press Transcriptions?
I was told that I passed their test and was sent an IC contract out, but just wondering about any good/bad experiences before I sign for sure.  Also, how are the pay and accounts?  Thanks! 
Press Alt + F9 to toggle on field codes.
Or go to tools, options, and check field codes on the view tab.
You need to press shift key and caps lock. You may
need to do it a couple of times.  I transcribed for many years and never had a problem, but the last couple of years I have this happen about once a month.  It isn't a malfunction of the keyboard - it is user error :).
Has anyone ordered pet meds from Entirely Pets?

My dog has Cushings and is on $200.00/mo worth of meds and we are going broke between them and the $1000.00/year testing needed,  not to mention shots, etc.  We are paying about $80.00/month for one medicine.  I found it at Entirely Pets for $32.00/mo - a big savings.  The package they show is the exact same as what we get from the vet, the dosage and the # of pills is also the same.   I read the description and it doesn't say anything about it being a generic or anything else that would raise a red flag.  I checked this med at 1800PetMeds and it is $60.00/month there. 


I'm going to ask my vet tomorrow what she thinks.  I don't think she'll have a problem with me getting meds from another source but I'd like to hear feedback from an outside party too. 


Has anyone ever ordered pet meds from 1-800-petmeds.com?? sm
I have to buy heartworm/flea meds and love the Sentinol product. It is much cheaper to buy it from petmeds, but I have never shopped there or know of any one that has. Also, do you need a "Rx" from your vet to buy the med? Thanks!
Anyone ever ordered Adipex on line? (SM)

And, if so did you have any results?  I am starting Weight Watchers and exercising 3 times a week but thinking about Adipex to help control my appetite.  TIA


Anybody ordered computer from Ebay to get
I just bought new computer which has Vista on it.  Until companies upgrade to be compatible with Vista, I need a XP computer.  Just wondered if you had bought off ebay and it was a good deal.  Thanks.
Have ordered it and am waiting for its arrival.
the tutorials, I think it will work for what I do.
I ordered online, but make sure to
select a computer from the "small business" section rather than the home version and that is where I found you could select XP or Vista.

Good luck!

Moderator, it is not copyrighted, it's a press release, sent to me via email. However,

the link is included and can be viewed at MTIA's web site.  EVERYONE should read this....it affects our future.  I do not doubt the hundreds of resumes MTSOs receive today in response to job postings will dwindle to a handful.  The entire credentialing process is geared to one way only, and that is lining the pockets of those who have led the way to destroy a once honorable profession.  Why would anyone want to go through the process to earn a substandard living today, certification not withstanding?  Does anyone think the MTSOs are going to pay a much higher premium for a credentialed MT?  Come on...get real.  If they are outsourcing today to make more money, does anyone really think they will bring those jobs back and pay EACH AND EVERY credentialed MT a livable wage, money out of their pockets? 


www.mtia.com...if the link does not work.


Would you'all mind telling me where you ordered from? sm
I plan to order mine in the next month or two and understand you can order from distributors. Of course I would like the best deal on price and shipping and want to be sure I order from a reliable source and wonder where each of you ended up buying yours. Thanks for any help!
If this was something worrisome I would think they would have already ordered a core biopsy.

My boyfriend ordered me flowers last week from....sm
1-800-flowers but they dropped the ball and still haven't delivered. They sent him an e-mail at 6:30 last night stating that they wouldn't deliver as promised yesterday and we've both had a lot of problems getting through to a "human" to get this resolved. They still haven't been delivered and it's now 1:15 p.m. the day AFTER Valentine's Day. So much for ordering ahead and paying an extra "delivery guaranteed on time" fee.
tvps.com is offering same day shipping if ordered by 3p. nm

Well I've ordered mine! I'm so excited! nm

I liked the way your looked and ordered the Ergohuman from the same line! Thanks! nm
