West Florida Hospital is hiring for remote MT - must train on site for 90 days though. Where are you

kids clothes these days

The skimpy little outfits the girls get away with wearing to SCHOOL, just boggles my mind.  Heck, most are shorter than my old gym clothes...remember those days?  Girls could not even be SEEN by the boys in our gimmies...modesty is not in these days it seems...and the boys


Well when my son tried the baggy britches, I did just that when he was going up the stairs in front of me...pulled the d&%$ things down, one warning..catch you like that again and you will be wearing a uniform


I agree... I'm pulling my hair out some days with my own kids..

I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

Another minus
AAMT cannot by law lobby on the behalf of medical transcriptionists. That would revoke its charter.

Basically all it can do is take your money. Or in this case give your money away.

I've never belonged. We need an organization that can work for us.
Plus and Minus Keys
It has the plus and minus keys by the backspace key, and they work the same as the 10-key.
I figure income minus expenses, send 23% for federal and 7.5% to state--sm
quarterly. The state probably differs state to state, but that is the percentile my accountant came up with. Have never had to pay and additional.
Valuable post, thanks. MT plus Skills Upgrade minus Complaining = Dollars. NM

My Word 2002 shows plus or minus symbols in outline view.
Are you sure you're in outline view?
30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to.  I'm in the southeast. 
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

2000 low days, 4000 busy days
Did 43,000 lines last month.   6 doctors. 
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!!  You know exactly what you said.  You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed!  You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT.  Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you.  Why have kids at all?  Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked!  Give me a break!  Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT.  Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Can you use a plus sign for hyper and minus sign for hypo?

Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.

I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.

So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.

Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.

I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary.  How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu

call her by her first name.  The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away. 


I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated.   Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie.  :-)


But, as someone pointed out, to each his own.  If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that.  I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks."    


550-650 lph on average. Some days more, some days less. It all depends. nm

How? By working 12-hr days 7 days/week?
;LKJ
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
Florida
Tampa General Hospital took somewhere around 60 patients this weekend, Pasco county has opened homes and a woman who runs a homeless shelter in Spring Hill has made 2 trips to NO to bring back people, all of whom have eventually been placed in homes. Not to change the subject but I have seen a lot of complaints on the board in the past about Wal Mart - I just read in the paper some of the things they have done for the victims - a 20 million dollar cash donation, they had 45 truckloads of food ready to disperse before Katrina even hit landfall, plus numerous other things, sending 150 internet ready computers to the shelters for the evacuees to find their lost ones.
MDI in Florida

Just changing back to radiology from oncology and I am looking into companies.  MDI Florida is hiring radiology transcriptionists.  Any information would be helpful.  I know they have a web site but I would like to hear from the people.  Do they have good benefits?  How about scheduling and accounts?  Do they pay or help out with the long distance phone calls?  Good management? 


MQ in Florida
Does anyone know what Medquist offices are still operational in Florida?
Florida
I'm not sure about most nationals but I can speak from experience about my company that I work for, I moved to Florida and my pay did not increase. One good thing about Florida is that you do not have to pay state tax, so you get that extra amount on your check every month. Housing (especially buying) has skyrocketed in Florida in the last year or so. As for the schools, I can only speak for the district I was in but I think you can go to fldoe.org and look for information on that. Sorry I couldnt help with any more. Good luck!

Also in Florida
Guess the wildfires and possible evacuations are good practice for the upcoming hurricane season!
Why not Florida?
This was a fantasy.  I personally don't have anything against Florida, but I seem to recall reading a help wanted ad for a company located in Florida which indicated that it would only hire MTs that lived in certain states, for whatever reason, good or bad.  For the other three states that I mentioned, I included those because of bad experiences with companies in those states.
Should be E Florida above

Bonuses at MDI Florida?
I have read that MDI Florida gives bonuses for employees that go the extra mile.  I have been there over two years and work hard but have not seen a bonus yet.  Do they given them out often or at all?  They forgot us for transcription week and do not so anything for birthdays so it would be nice to get something out of it all. 
what part of Florida are you in
because it shouldn't really affect your work, if you have a working computer and electricity, you should be able to get work.
It's 10 p.m. and 84 degrees here in Florida.

Move to Florida?

Well I do live in Florida so it's

like a vacation for them every day. We have annual passes to every theme park around here since we are a half hour away from them all including Disney, Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens (1-1/2 hours). For those that want to know how we afford it (since I know it will be asked), Universal has a pass where you can pay monthly. Sea world and Busch Gardens had a 2 year special at Christmas last year that I bought as a Christmas gift. I pay $9 per person per month and free parking with the passes. The Disney passes we won. We go almost every weekend to one of them. In fact, grandma is checking into one of the Disney hotels for the weekend with them so they can go to the parks and then go back to the hotel to rest.


As for the vacation, it's a cruise. It's a big wedding for my closest friend (100+ family and friends are going) and I'm the maid of honor. We discussed it with the 3 oldest before we booked it. Last time we went on a "vacation" alone was when we moved my husband's grandfather down here 8 years ago. We had to go to Tennessee for 3 days, well actually 1 day, one day driving both ways.

One office in Florida
Hello,
MDI (Medical Dictation, Inc.) has one office in Brooksville, Florida. Most of our MT's work at home.

We do have one account with physical therapy work, but do not need help with that at the present time.

Thanks for your post.

FLORIDA TRIP

I have bought plane tickets on the internet.  You book your flight online and then you print out your tickets. It all worked out fine.    Are you a AAA member?  I have used them for our trip to Disney.  They took care of everything for us.  (FLIGHT, HOTEL, THE PARKS)


Florida Disney

Would anyone who has gone to Disney in Florida recently give me an idea of how much money it takes?  My grandkids want this as a goal for saving money and I want to be as realistic as I can with them about the cost and what they need.  Thanks.


about that swampland in florida
I keep an Excel sheet on my line counts typing CT, MRIs, MRAs, PETs showing what I would be making per page and/or 65 cpl. Per page is one-half of 65 cpl (50% decrease) in your pay. And that is before any font/margin changes they may make (using Courier 12).

CNA Job duties in Florida
Does anyone know if a cna can give injections, administer local anesthesia (lidocaine) in the state of Florida?????
CNA Job duties in Florida
What I am trying to figure out, is that I work with a CNA (as a head nurse! figure that out) that gives patients kenalog injections and also numbs patients before minor surgery with lidocaine. I don't think this is legal. She also works for 3 years as a head nurse without being certified. She never renewed it.
