    Right on! I agree with you. It is exactly how I was raised -
    and I am a mess when it comes to self-esteem, haha! In fact, the man I am with was raised so full of confidence and self-worth, he has taught me a lot.

    He still has a union on his job, but you know what? He works with mostly women. They can not agree on anything. All management has to do is get them arguing about little petty stuff (which seems quite easy, I am afraid), and when it comes to any big decisions, the employees lose out because they are too busy in-fighting.

    They even go against the union and do extra work WITHOUT getting paid, and then sort of 'bully' people into doing the same. A huge no-no - there should be NO sympathy for the 'corporation' or 'companies' because they in turn only take away more benefits, more money from employees.

    No matter how he tries, though, he can NOT get these women to stand up for themselves in a united way, no sir, no way, uh uh.
    Our cat was raised an indoor cat - she has never been out except once -sm
    when I "walked" her. She was terrified to be out as she is not used to it. We have her set up with some tables/shelves by all the front windows and she has fun watching the birds and squirrels. She has a nice scratching post too and has never scratched the furniture. She also has spots she can hide out in --trundle under a bed and the upper bunk bed--so she can get way from the dogs and kids---one dog wants to eat her so we have to be real careful. We keep her in the bedroom at night in case the dogs get out of the rooms they stay in at night. But in the morning (i.e. 6 a.m.) she is meowing and scratching the door to get out of the bedroom, annoying to say the least...I expect you will hear a lot of that. I guess just try to have all the stuff I mentioned above and a lot of patience.
    Hand raised...
    I too tell my teens to get off the phone, bed by 10:30 usually, curfew and such. It's hard because her friends don't have curfews and she does. It's very difficult to be the "party pooper" but somebody has to.
    I raised my children being an

    having had their mom home. They are grown now and have their own children. I still work at home as an MT and am able to watch my granddaughter. She does not go to daycare, she goes to grandma's and says she is so much happier here.


    i'm shy too, raised an only child, like my independence
    Others do judge that, but i'm tired of justifying it to be quite honest. 
    Unfortunately we as women tend to be raised to think that
    our lives aren't complete unless we "have a man". Men, on the other hand, are raised to value their careers, educations and be as financially successful and independent as they can be. Therein lies the problem. We're supposed to dream of a big wedding, they're supposed to dream of being president of a huge corporation.

    Moms, raise your daughters to be independent, educated and successful and if someone fits into their lives after they are, that's great; and if not, so what?
    I was raised in a union family.
    I'm not anti-union at all. BUT, we don't have any leverage present for unionization. Between speech recognition and offshoring practices, there is no leverage for us.

    I see it as a much bigger issue than just forcing MTSOs to pay more and keep work here in the US. We would have to drive down healthcare costs for hospitals and clinics and physicians all over. This is just one small piece of the pie.

    As another poster down the page pointed out, unions usually start within a company. The workers of a company unionize and then grow from there.

    Having been raised in a union environment and with my father having held positions in that union several years, I agree with his advice: A company will do anything to stop you from unionizing. They would fire every single one of you. They can. They have the backup to get the work done. It is not in your best interest to try to do this with your industry.

    His advice when we talked about this was to just join current unions as individuals.

    I agree with him.


    you raised a point I've been thinking about
    With the use of Expanders becoming the norm now - at least from our end of things - I can't help but wonder if eventually that could really backfire on us.

    It wouldn't surprise me one bit if a lot of docs, hospitals, etc. really don't have a clue that a lot of the line counts they're being charged for really weren't transcribed -- and when/if they do find out, I wonder how many will have the same reaction as your doctor.

    I know expanders are necessary to meet line count quotas, but where are we going to be if the clients decide they only want to pay for actual keystrokes.
    And I thank the mothers of boys who have raised them to respect women.

    Born in South Philly, now live in NorthEast Philly.
    That would have been the first red flag! LOL
    Obviously, the MTSO has had problems in the past then.
    flag it

    One red flag...
    ...to me was the benefit package described in the ad. Despite saying that they are "the new kid on the block", the benefits are those seen with (or even better than those of) large, established companies. Most new small companies cannot float such benefit packages unless:

    a. They are a unit of or affiliated with another larger company of some sort - which we would certainly want to know.

    b. They are a company that has reorganized and managed to hang onto their benefit package - which we would again want to know.

    One ad is titled "A New Beginning", suggesting possibility "b" above. If so, it is very important to know which "old" company is being reincarnated as "Jax".

    And, I hate to say it as it seems somewhat superficial, but even the name of the company raised my eyebrows.

    Even if Jax proves legit, though, it serves now as a perfect example of how easy it would be to harvest resumes from people.
    Yep, I would flag it

    without a couple of sources of confirmation.  Docs cannot spell, though they think they can.  Sometimes I will find several Google entries with the same spelling, but they still turn out to be the wrong spelling. 


    This is my favorite med site:


    http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name


    If you can hear any 3 consecutive letters (like the LOL or the ROL) you can search and it will give you anything that contains this combination,  generics on the right, brands on the left.  If you click on the name it will take you to another screen for dosages (sometimes.) 


    in the old days, most animals raised for consumption at least got a life while they were alive.
    not anymore.

    Not only are they treated with unbelieveable barbarity, the producers are destroying irreplaceable GOVERNMENT (meaning, it's OURS) owned forests and range for feed - more and more each year...not to mention the absolute filth rampant in the industry - they have them so crowded and unclean that it's a wonder MORE e.coli and other diseases aren't pandemic.

    Go visit a slaughter house - any slaughter house. Yep, it's not that hard to give up meat. It is totally unnecessary in anybody's diet.

    I have to admit though, when the neighbors are barbecuing a slab of pork, my mouth waters and my brain goes into DESIRE!!!
    I'll ditto that! Born/raised SFL. Living near Gville now

    That's a definite red flag...

    By all means, if you can, find a vet that'll get you in as an emergency.  If your regular vet doesn't see patients on an emergency basis, honestly, it's time to find another one.  I have 3 cats & 2 birds, & if I had a vet who wouldn't take one of my "kids" STAT, I'd be going somewhere else. 


    In the meantime, please give her ((((BIG HUGS)))) & lots of kisses from me & my "kids".  BTW, what's her name?  I'll keep her in my prayers  


    It is a red flag to me, seeing one co. over and over. Would not inquire..nm

    you cannot even erect a USA FLAG....sm

    saw a story last year when a Boynton Beach homeowner with a condo association put up the American Flag.....and did battle with the association and HE lost the battle.....and either had to move or never put up an American flag....on his property in the ground with a pole.


    I flag. I don't correct this because as the others said, you don't know. nm

    I smell a rat. If it were me, I would consider this the first red flag and be on the lookout

    I would definitely flag it and if you are able to put a note somewhere just ask the doctor to sm
    review/revise the area in question. 
    I took it more as a flag because it's uncommon in dictation..
    not that there was a debate of whether to transcribe it or not. I personally haven't ever had a dictator mention praying with the patient, although, I have had one of my personal physicians mention that he hadnt seen me in church lately :D
    location: worldwide (red flag!)
    compensation: $50 (red flag!), is it per page, per hour, per day... as i understand it, craig's list is to sell items to local parties. It is not where i would look for, or respond to a job from.
    if any doubt (at all!) leave it out (flag it).

    Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
    is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
    Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

    Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

    full-time in office/ part-time at home
    I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
    I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
    I made over 26,000 this year...
    I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
    My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
    Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
    OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
    full time, part time, statutory
    newly defined full time...

    newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)

    I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
    full time/part time/statutory
    The definition of full time is new.

    There is a new classification called part time.

    I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
    I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

    its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?

    **yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
    Hippie??  What pray tell is a hippie?  Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun?  Bye..bye..old person..
    I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

    part-time or full-time
    I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
    4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
    Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
    1 full time and 1 part time for now
    I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
