At ease, soldier! This isn't a medical document. I repeat, this isn't a medical document. nm

Also they have to pay to set up new states
So they might not want to hire from states not set up in already.
Indeed it does, as the letter clearly states
it was a DEP error
It clearly states in the message that they
regarding the status of the job.
she states below that she did try in the past sm
to bring on another IC but they were resistant to the idea.

She has already tried doing what you suggest, to no avail.

I have been in this situation as well, and while it is very true that we are, in essence, vendors to our clients, there are offices that are truly difficult to work with.

It is a good idea to consider taking an employee position in this case, I agree, but please know that she's already tried addressing the issue in the way you suggest. :-)
Some *states*. YIKES!
.
Working in 2 different states. sm

I know a MQMT who does this.  I don't know the particulars, but she's literally on opposite ends of the map at different times.  It seems to me that there should be no problem doing this.  Of course, time zones, etc. may vary, but things like that should be easily resolved. 


Have fun, whatever you decide!


I work for a hospital 6 states away. SM

I have a physician list and I have a website to look for other doctors. But how can they expect me to know how to spell patients' names? They can't. I have a disclaimer at the top of my log sheet that says common or phonetic spellings will be used where patient name spellings are not provided.


That was the thing that held me up when I worked "live" from home for a hospital. All that diddling around finding out whether it was "Kathy" or "Cathy"  -- I don't do that any longer and you're right, it makes a HUGE difference.


4 states are taking refugees
The governor of Louisiana has asked four states to take refugees:  Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah.  I know Utah is scheduled to take 1000, starting to be flown in today (call the governor's hotline at 866-873-2437 if you live in UT and want to help), but I don't know about the others.  I would imaging they're taking more since they're closer.  This is being coordinated through FEMA, but the governor's offices of those other states probably would be of more direct help.  If you don't live in one of those states you could try to contact FEMA, but I imagine they're swamped right now.
I agree with most of this, but in most states you can't lock him out. sm
I agree you should get away from him, especially if there are kids involved, but in most states you're not allowed to lock him out of the house. It's his residence, too, and the police and judges will tell you that he has just as much right to be there as you do. Please be sure to check with a lawyer or with the local police before trying to lock him out of the house.
the post clearly states "replace" so you
Within 5 years, I think most if not all hospitals will be on ASR, and our final destinations as MTs will be editors.  Until they decide they do not need these formatted reports altogether. 
In most states, if not all, it is illegal for a company
to charge you up-front for information about work, software necessary to work, etc.  They should do a payroll deduction, still doesn't guarantee they are a legitimate company though. 
The audience would be the blue states,

aka, the ones who voted for Kerry.  I guarantee this movie will flop in the red states.  It's just one more attempt to push the gay agenda down our throats, making it more mainstream and palatable.  Won't happen in my state, Texas.  There is no such thing as a gay cowboy, that's an oxymoron. 


Labor laws in some states (particularly CA) SM
are more stringent and some of the nationals won't hire from certain states because their laws are stricter than federal labor laws.
there R plenty of states where parents....n/m

All you fans of the government must be from one o' them RED states..........
If you have such a productive life, why do you even care about MT, let alone spend time posting on an MT forum?

I use this one all the time, good for all states.

Unless an employer states you can represent them in
Few employers will want employees to advertise their personal lives in such a way and then tag it to their employer.

I don't blame them, either.

People have no sense.

Actually it makes sense in all 50 states

How does your contract read??? It if states
you are doing the work then they have the right to drop you from their account as you are not adhering to your contract. They have a right to know who is doing their work.
Many states have the same program, called
Angel Food Ministries. 
Have any of you in the higher priced states...
Just a question, don't get mad. I moved out of Delaware many, many years ago. The wages there are below national levels (don't know if its changed) and I found I could not be a single mom and buy a decent home for my child there. I did research and ended up in Florida where there is no state tax and cost of living was a lot cheaper. Even though we moved away from family, I think it was the best decision I ever made.
Some states just don't like Californians. PERIOD.
I know that having lived most of my life here, I would never want to live anywhere else, especially in a landlocked state with no ocean.
It certainly IS a national. They hire from other states.

Hope California would join the two states
doing the protest soon!!!
Resident of Louisiana and all of the United States

PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!


As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas.  The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY!   We are already experiencing food supply shortages.  Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY!  Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses.  PRAY!  For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them.  The worst is yet to come.  PRAY!  There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people.  PRAY!  Also, help any way you can.  If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters. 


All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.


Who is FREEDOMTYPE and are the in the United States? Thanks for any info.

most states have an internet registry where you can look up that info
When we bought our house, that website was one of the first places I went to before signing the contract.

Can you use "patient" where he states male and/or female? nm

This is not illegal in most states. Sometimes it's in the divorce agreement.

DOCTOR STATES OPINION AS FACT

I have a dictation that I really hate to send to put in the patient's chart. The doctor has stated as fact an opinion about this patient's illess (namely pain and depression). The statement that was made is going to follow this patient and probably keep her from receiving adequate treatment now and in the future. I know that as MTs we are to transcribe what the physician says, but I really feel for this patient as this physician is doing her a diservice - and I would think that if this gal is smart she would find herself an attorney, as this doctor is working on opinion rather than facts. The physician is foreign and has a much different view of the subject than informed "American" physicians - I just hate to have my initials on this poor woman's chart, knowing that the doctor is not adequately treating her problems. Okay - my vent for the day.


How long do states keep medical records?

My contract states 2 weeks for MT and 30 days for QA. nm

The Labor Boards says (I think for most states) inside
I have been there done that. When my paycheck was being withheld for whatever reason, I found out the Labor Board says your paycheck cannot be withheld for any reason, you have to work that out outside the paycheck. When I told that to the company, my paycheck usually arrived.
United States: No official language...
End of story...
I just paid $150 to take it in July 2008,,,in the states

Nope...article states all doctors will be
doing all their documentation on the computer including orders, rx, bedside notes, x-rays, etc. They want to be paperless in the delivery of care. It states the doctors will be taught how to do their documentation on the computers. The way the article reads it sounds like there will be templates for everything and the docs will be taking the computer with them into the room(s) and entering info at that time.
What Document is that?
FootOnmyNeck?
Is your document (sm)
going "full screen" when you do this? If so, use Alt-V to pull the View menu and change the view back to normal. I'm guessing you are hitting Alt-V instead of Ctrl-V for pasting. If you are in full screen mode, there should be a little box floating that says "close full screen." Clicking that will change it back too.
Do you want a new document to...
to show the template or the new blank page within the current document to show the template?  In other words, is every report created in a document of its own or are all the reports created in one document containing several reports?  Either way, I would think a macro would be very useful. You could use a macro to insert the template on the blank page of new document or, if several reports are joined together to form a document, you could make a macro that would create section break at the end of the current report and insert the template on a new page.
Don't get mad, just document.
Save QA e-mails in an e-mail folder. Then when you get conflicting messages, simply forward the conflict to the QA and very respectfully say that this feedback seems to be conflicting, so there must be something you don't understand.
If for some reason they do this over the phone, I'd ask if you could get that in writing so you'll be able to keep the rules straight.
Don't get mad, just document
The corrections go into an on-line type folder. I have e-mailed the person in charge stating that feedback seems to be conflicting. The response? There wasn't any. One Editor correcting the work will say "good report" while the next will do just the opposite even though you set up/type basically the same way. Some days I get so upset I could literally cry. I love the work but how can one please when the editors are not on the same page? Really broken at heart over the whole thing. :-(
So I can see the document (sm)
otherwise, it runs off to the right of the page.
Did you try it elsewhere in the document?
When I entered the cm2 as a formatted auto correct, it did make everything suprascript; however, go to another line and type the cm2 there. It should work correctly. Just don't know why it won't on the original. Let us know if you're successful.
Maybe it has to do with how you have your document set up?

Your post above states that if alllll these things would happen, THEN
MTs would care about quality, loyalty....

I say you should care, period. If you're handed a bad hand, deal with it...or change games.

Keystrokes does not and will not send work out of the United States. nm
