Sorry so late

Radiology is a completely different rhythm from the big four report types because so many of the reports are short and repetitive. Very few radiologists have accents, it's true. Radiologist tend to be better dictators overall. I think it is because it is guaranteed that each report will actually be read, and if it's not right, phone calls will be made. Many radiologists use a lot of normals. That's great IF your software is quick. You should be able to make normals and have stop codes to allow you to hop from spot to spot. You also need your computer to close out and open reports quickly. You should not have to type in a lot of demographics. But each day varies a lot because some of them dictate three times as much as another guy. So one day you might finish in 7 hours, and another might take you 10. Quick TATs are essential or there will be many time-wasting phone calls. Excellent report quality is essential. If the MDs have to do much editing, they may as well use VR. There is a lot of detail checking with the people and software I work with. Our software currently can't separate my production from the other MTs,' but we spend a lot of time on detail-checking and fixing demographics/order/referrer address errors.

too late
Now I'm in it for the long run. It's too late to get my fees back so I might as well continue. I'd lose half of my tuition if I pulled out now which doesn't seem worthwhile. The school offers placement assistance with about a 90% (yes I know that is low) employment rate out of school. But I've heard reasonably good things about the Career Step program so I guess I might as well continue. Thanks though for the suggestion.
A Few Days Late?
My Discover Card was billed for the first payment on August 10th. I finally received a dictionary on September 8th - nothing else - no study aids - just a dictionary. I authorized the charges for the foot-pedal and CDs on August 17th. I still have not received them. So after 10 emails and several phone calls, and the 4th week since I paid for the second part of the materials, "a few days" is not an accurate depiction of their shipping practice. As for Carol, she writes short, precursory responses to questions - I'm not quite sure why you're singing her praises over that. I've gotten too many responses from students who have had my experience - not yours. Several said that they never even received the certificate after completing the course. So, good for you - but don't criticize others for telling the truth about their experiences. Last time I looked, there was free speech in this country. The VLC erases grades when someone speaks out.
Seems a bit late to ask if you've already
plunked your money down. And it sounds like you will only accept the answer you are looking for, so good luck.
LOL. I responded late last night,
My brain wasn't comprehending what you were asking. I don't think we can post links here, so I will email you.
SOAP Transcription might take you on as a late shift
