To the moderator - you need to step up

and block this flamer from the board. We come here to chat nicely because we have isolating jobs and don't get out much. There is absolutely no need for someone to make these kind of statements to a mother. If her purpose is just to cause upset, then clearly she has no place here. Do the right thing.

    Follow his directions step-by-step.

    Once the Macro is in place, you can add it to your toolbar by right clicking on the toolbar you want it to appear on. Choose customize (bottom of menu). Click on the Command tab and choose Macros from the left-hand side of the box. Find Normal.NewMacros.GetLineStrictCount from the right-hand side of the box. Left mouse click on that macro one time and hold the button down. Drag the command to the toolbar in the location where you want it to be. You should now see a large box with the entire name of the macro inside. Right click on that box for the drop-down menu to change the appearance of that button and you're in business.


    Better to take a step up than a step backwards.
    Congratulations!
    Help! I need step-by-step instructions for MS
    When the dictator says "same" for the postop diagnosis, do I have to highlight, copy, and paste from the preop diagnosis, or is there a simple one-step keystone that can be done to automatically copy (hope that makes sense).
    step outside the box?
    I'm looking at your samples and asking myself, "How would I ever remmember that?"
    Thank you Moderator. sm
    I find it unbelievable that people are posting account names.  What happened to the confidentiality agreements they signed with their companies?  Bizarre.
    thank you, moderator
    :)
    can the moderator tell me
    where it went? Thanks !
    Thanks moderator!!! I appreciate you!

    Thank you, Moderator
    Thank you for allowing the prayer request board on the Gab Board.
    Hey Moderator
    I won a scavenger hunt.  Forgot to put in there that I live in Florida.  Thanks again.  
    you really should take that up with the moderator. obviously
    plenty here have no problem with this board.
    Thank you, Moderator!
    I certainly would not want to offend anyone, and I appreciate your taking the time to let me know how you feel about this.

    By the way, I am very impressed with the job you are doing keeping the board on track and moving it in the right direction. It is like a breath of fresh air!

    If at any time you do receive complaints about my avatar, please feel free to contact me and I will do whatever you wish.

    Best regards,

    Running on MT


    2 moderator...
    What I am hearing is some want a tranquil place to take a break yet still discuss things pertaining to MT, like a conversation you would have drinking a cup of coffee at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble. I don't think a lot of the opinions going back and forth would sit well in a peaceful environment. They would probably have to call security.

    I don't think bringing it up will help the situation but I think that it's the arguments after an opinion is given that the OP is referring to. Can't speak for the OP but ....

    maybe a meditation board or quiet room board might help...

    Career Step
    Hi - have any of you received your training from Career Step?  If so, would you recommend the program?  Thanks for you feedback.
    Well, that's a step in the right direction!!!
    Level the playing field a bit!

    Thx for sharing!

    career step

    I am considering going to Career Step.  I have been working as an MT for a few months now, but I do not feel that the course I took prepared me for the "real" world of transcription.  My only question is that I also noticed the price diff in these online courses.  That is primarily the reason why I am choosing to go with Career Step.  MTec seems like a good school, but they are 3x as much.  Will I get just as good an education?


    Career Step
    It's true, you get what you pay for. Andrews is #1, M-Tec is #2, and Career Step is a distant 3rd.
    Career Step

    I am attending Career Step.  I have also been hired as a MT while still attending.  I think the course is good.  Good luck!!

    Career Step
    is the largest online school of medical transcription. You can join their forum even if you are not a student so that you can see for yourself what the grads in the forum say about their training. They are in there talking about their jobs all the time. Big companies like Spheris and Medquist and Transolutions hire CS graduates.


    Not a Mom, just step-Mom and aunt

    I tried for years to have a child, lost many early on in pregnancy and it was many years ago prior to the advances that they have now adays.  But I do have two step-daughters -- one remembers me one does not even though I am divored from their father.  She and I have stayed close and neither have seen their Dad since our divorce.  But I have two nephews and a niece in the area that I am very close to who now have children ranging from 4 to 18.  One of my great nephews told me yesterday,  I am not a Mom but close, better than a Grandma because I am special Aunt Patti.  So that made my day.   For some reason the Lord chose for me to be that special person to my many nephews and nieces which I truly enjoy.   And I get to send home when they become "too much".   Love it and cherish my time with them.  


     


    12 step programs, which above are
    referring to, are all based on God, a higher power - surrendering to that higher power, and then healing following the 12 steps. Leaving religion out of recovery is rather contradictory!
    Career Step

    Have you been to Career Step's website.  It is a very friendly community there and you would get lots of support on their forums.  www.careerstep.com. 


    Some need to step out of their box for a moment - eh! LOL. nm

    Is Career Step it?!
    Any graduates of Career Step?  Any information about how you felt about your experience would be greatly appreciated.  I was so impressed by the website and information that I have received in the mail.  I make $10/hr now in an office job.  What are the chances that I can meet this as a grad?
    Career Step is IT!
    Hi,
    I'm a CS graduate and would HIGHLY recommend them. I was so well prepared, I received a job offer in less than 24 hours from one of the top employers, AND I was able to start out in acute care as a grad.

    Email me if you have additional questions. CS ROCKS!!!!
    you gotta step outside the box a little...sm

    twwa=the wound was


    twwe or twsw= the wounds were


    Look at Career Step
    If you know the content you can take the tests.
    oh gosh. I would have had to step away for
    hours probably..... I do ER reports and had 4 bad ones in a row earlier this week - makes me really count my blessings.  My toes curl typing procedures I have had or my children have had - I've never done an OP note such as you described... I don't think I could handle at all.
    If not my kid, then the parents need to step up
    and take care of their own child. If I need to work, do not babysit period. I took care of my children when they were little and they can take care of theirs. No time to spare when working.
    Career Step
    Career Step is one of the top 3 AHDI-approved schools. If you work well independently at your own pace, it may be a good program for you. It is an online course. I know from experience that employers will hire for at-home transcription work immediately after graduation from CS.
    Re: Career Step

    Hello,


    I just began the Career Step Online Training Course a couple of weeks ago. You answered a question to a concern that I had from the very start. I wondered if they really help the student transition into an at-home MT position upon completion of the course. You stated that "from experience" you can say that they get you to work right after graduation.


    If you don't mind me asking, can you give me some feedback on your experience with Career Step, please? How long did it take you to complete the course? How long after completion did you obtain employment at home? Is it fairly easy to understand what the physician is saying as you transcribe? How do they prefer to pay their at home employees? Those are examples of questions I have.


    Looking forward to hearing from you!  :)

    Don't listen to that "only Andrews or M-TEC" line. Career Step has a great program for much less money, and they do place their graduates.
    Career Step?

    I have over five years experience in psychiatric transcription.  I started at a counseling facility with no experience or training -- just a good command of the English language and a good typist. 


    Anyway, I went about five years doing no transcription.  I recently got a home position doing psych trans. again.  I would like to continue working for this company, but broaden my skills in acute/medical.  Of course, there is some medical in psych transcription, but limited. 


    My question is:  Has anyone here been through Career Step and is it worth the money?  Also, do you think it would benefit, or should I just try to gain experience as I go?


    Thanks!!


    Career Step
    Career Step is a great program for people who prefer self-directed independent study. It is one of the top 3 schools and is approved by AHDI. You do get jobs afer completing the CS final. I had a job within a few days and have had no problems since then finding MT work.
    Career Step
    Hi. Has anyone used the Career Step program for medical transcription? I am currently working for MQ and received my training while in high school, but my fiance is going to be training with them soon. I was wondering if it was easy to find a job afterward and how you liked the course?
    Take a step back and look at it again... sm
    ** ... in this situation they are asking us to LOSE money for THEIR profit.**



    Your MTSO is NOT asking you to lose money so they can laugh all the way to the bank. They're asking you to pitch in to keep their accounts in TAT so they don't LOSE those accounts.


    If your MTSO can't keep their commitments, can't keep their clients happy, they lose the work... and ALL of the MTs will be affected by that loss, even YOU, Princess. Maybe especially YOU if you're a relatively new hire, have no seniority and a whiny attitude.

    I've been trying for weeks to get into chat.  No matter what name/password I use, it won't let me in.  I tried to reregister and it consistently tells me I'm not using at least six letters in my password even though the ones I've tried are 6 and 9, and then today it finally admitted I already had an account but when I clicked the lost password part it sent me to Error 404.  I'm about to give up.  Am I not holding my mouth right or something??? Hope you can help and get me into chat again. 
    oops, sorry moderator

    Goldbird Moderator maybe you can help (sm)
    I've emailed the administrator twice now and received no response (even gave her a few of the passwords that I know I've used on the internet).   I used to go into chat once in a while to see if anyone was there, but in the past few months I haven't been able to.  I tried every password I know I've used and even tried to re-add myself, but it says I'm already in the system (I know that because I used to be able to get into chat).  I've asked to have the password sent to me but it's never showed up.  How can I get my password sent to me again?
    Thank you moderator and poster, much better...nm

    how does one get a moderator on this board?
    .
    moderator question

    How do we get tot he Gab board and "funny" board - there is no selection - the only way I was able to get there was through your arrow when you moved it - will there be a selection for that forum on the forum main screen any time soon?


    Just curious


    admin / moderator
    Don't let this thread fall away - move it to the top and lets get everyone to take action - send to news, Glenn Beck at me@glennbeck.com - bombard the media and lets see if we can finally do something. This time it is not just the MT word against others, it is actual video that must be seen by all - Everyone;'s job in jeopardy - not just the MT. Move it to the top. Thanks Hayseed for your post
    Thank you, Administrator and Moderator !!!

    And hopefully he has now been blocked.  You guys owning and running MTStars are THE_ABSOLUTE_BEST !!!!
