Can you share who it is? I would love to work for either sm
them or whoever gets their accounts. That way, I know that it will not go offshore. If more health systems do this, we will be in good shape down the road.

would you care to share who you IC with?
if you do not mind.  Thanks. 
You wouldn't care to share
the name of your "awesome" company, would you? I have to find something stable and secure, making at least what I do now (8.5 cpl), with some flexibility. I have worked from home for 7 years now, and have only received one or two phone calls in that time about a mistake I made on a report; otherwise have had positive comments from my QA.

I absolutely loved my job and company until 01/01 when all H**L broke less with MQ.

I'd like to continue working from home, so I can keep volunteering at my boys' school (they're 8 and almost 10 years old), and be here for them when they're sick, off school, etc., but if I can't find a good company, I'm afraid I'll be forced to join the 8-5rs working outside the home. Then that would open up another whole can of worms, such as what to do with the kids during their days off/summer vacation; when they're sick; etc.

I don't blame you if you don't want to give the company's name out, so as not to have an avalanche of applicants with them. I guess I just needed to ask anyway!

Glad you found a good company. Hope I can, too! :)

Share 2 reasons (or more) about why you love your DH?

I love him because;


1- He knows me better than I know myself sometimes.


2- After 17 years together... he still makes me believe that I'm
the most beautiful girl in the world.





 


I love my Kodak Easy Share with
docker.  Mine is only the 2.0 mega pixel but takes great pictures.  I've used it to sell hundreds of items on ebay with great photos as well as for personal photos.  The dock is awesome - just one click and your picture is loaded and ready for editing.  I heartily recommend Kodak Easy Share digitial cameras.
Don't you love that I a share I'm an editor and I typed a while low instead of now? haha

Love my Ergohuman chair! I had a Herman Miller but did not care for it....sm
it was just not comfortable to me. I sold it and bought an Ergohuman and love it! It is less expensive too...about $600 I think. I do not use the arms though they are adjustable several ways, in and out and up and down. They are not detachable but you can push them out of the way. I bought mine on the web..several places sell them.
Congrats, girl, and get your share of any money that you share before he wipes you out. nm

Share, share, I've been looking for some time...sm
sending out resumes gallor, have great experience, but they sound like clones of each other in what they offer, yet what they want is it all!!!  I'm so discouraged, in the depression boat myself!  They want you to commit to FT, new equip, DSL, on and on!!!
Don't these MTs even care about their work?
I'm blown away...how do we stay in business as MTs when this is being sent to hospitals?
Do you really think they care who does the work
or basically how it is done? I don’t think the physicians care at all.
I take pride in my work. I always take care, as if the
aa
very refreshing to see someone care about their work - sm
I only wish that the service that was transcribing our hospital's work did the same. Their work is beyond horrible and the account manager that we have to deal with is a b**** on a good day!! She has every excuse for every request or correction we send back to her. Oh... I'm getting off track.

Anyways, the service that our hospital uses has transcriptionists that cannot punctuate if their life depended on it. The sentences run on and on and on and on. The doctors even say the punctuation and a couple of transcribers STILL WON'T PUNCTUATE!!

Oooohhh that feels better just getting it off my chest and fingers!
They think they don't care how we get the work as long as SM
it gets done and doesn't cost them anything. That's what they think. If you can't do it, they'll get somebody who will.
Acute care work goes by
work type. Consults are a work type, discharge summaries are a work type, OPs are a work type, H&Ps are a work type. They might also have ER, cardiac procedures, neurology procedures, and others, but the bigger hospitals may have other, possibly in-house, MTs doing procedures and ER, so it mostly refers to the Big 4 work types.
I also work for acute care and we are

Not sure if this will work, but hit control shift 8. This might take care of it.

Clinic work to acute care
You are on the right track but it's just that no one has given you the break. Most MTs start with clinic notes and then wait for a break into the Big 4 doing acute care. Don't get discouraged. Yes by all means, test away and you might just get lucky. Take any job you can doing acute care even if the pay and hours are bad just to get experience under your belt.

It's not easy making a go of it these days even with tons of experience. Ya gotta be a little clever and have a game plan. Look at it as a challenge and keep at it. Best of luck to you.
I am sorry, where I work we are swamped. It is acute care, though sm
I worked clinic for my first 8 years. From September until March it used to be slim, very slim. That was half the flipping year! In acute care there is less ebb and flow, in my opinion. It gets lean around spring break time, and again when school starts. How long it is slow can vary. I can't even believe how swamped we are at this point. I can see the number of reports are awaiting transcription and it has doubled every 4 hours all weekend AND people have been working all weekend.

If you do clinic, I wish I had an suggestion of how to break into acute care and I don't. I went from clinic only, to a surgical center doing all OPs, which was HARD HARD way to do it. I ended up in an enormous teaching hospital because I had OP note experience. Mine was sheer luck. I'll pray you have such a neat opportunity and can make that switch.
I work 2 jobs, one FT that takes care of
my taxes (I have extra held out), and also as an IC.
Be honest - the only people who care where the work is done are the MTs! nm

getting paid is showing appreciation for my work. that's all i care about.
who cares if some supervisor "appreciates" me?  i'm in it for the money not for someone to "appreciate" me. 
Try to work w/o distractions, if the cost of day-care is an issue -sm
then you will have to learn to work when your kids are sleeping basically. That is what I did. It is hard and you do not sleep much...I generally worked at night until 2am and got up at 8am before they were old enough for preschool, and squeezed in work here and there during the day. The younger they are though the easier it is to work I think. But you can do it, but you better be determined if you want to do it that way. I still work at night but not that late anymore since I have 7 hours during the day to myself now. It's still very hard to work when they are home (5&7) but my DH watches them a lot and takes care of them when I do have to work and they are home, so good home support helps too. I have 2 jobs so must still work crazy hours but I do what needs to be done.
Soft tissue work with chiropractic care
Moving/manipulating the skeletal system without addressing muscle/tendons/ligaments is useless because the bones will misalign again if adhesions, etc. in muscles (from previous injuries, bad biomechanics, gravity's effects on our up-right postures,etc.) are not dealt with. I'm in my late 40's so I speak from experience. Muscles are often the culprits that pull bones out of proper alignment. Stretching muscles with adhesions is moot. Consider most of the time we are bending forward in our daily lives; psoas muscles get stronger but back muscles (S.I. ligaments) do not.
Soft-tissue work is essential. Chiropractic care alone doesn't complete the job, hence, need for repeated visits over months/years.
Hope this helps.
You can't take care of an infant all day and work full time.

We may care what our work looks like & how correct it is, but many clients don't. They want words

Clinic work or acute care question....sm
If you were offered a job by two different companies, the benefits were the same, line rate was the same, everything was the same except one was exclusively acute care and the other was clinic, which would you choose and why?  I have two offers and everything is even except for the type of work.  I would think clinic work you could get more lines, but then it is not as marketable later if I have to switch companies as staying acute care would be.  Any input? 
I have 3 jobs, 1 FT doing acute care, and 2 PT doing clinic work. sm
It can be a challenge juggling things, and I really do not have much of a social life, but for now it works.  It not only keeps the wolf away from the door but allows me to build up a little nest egg and save for a mega vacation I have planned in November to celebrate turning 50.  Having goals definitely helps me get through it all. 
I started on Acute care, then went to clinic work, - sm
and then back again. I found clinic work to be more challenging, plus it often included radiology. I think it's more a matter of just getting familiar with each institution's way of doing things, along with new doctors, and getting familiar with a few new terms (which don't we all do every single day, anyway?) than it is one being easier or harder than the other.
Hey honey, you can work at home and no one will care about your physical appearance. sm
I actually hired a girl one time who was overweight. She could not BELIEVE I would hire her. I told her I did not care if she weighed 1000 pounds, if she could do the work, she was okay by me.
Could your hubs become a patient of a home health care agency and then you could work for them

Acute care work is operative reports, consultations, H&Ps, emergency room, DS basically the type of
dictation found in a hospital setting as opposed to a clinic setting in which you just type office notes and minor procedures.
