Hi,
I am an MT who is setting up a study group to take the certification tests before July 31st in order to get a discount.
Has anyone taken the RMT test and would be willing to share what info was the most helpful when studying?
Also, looking for one more person to take either test.
thanks
dee stanley, MT
So by now everyone knows my excisional biopsy was positive for cancer. DCIS with microinvasion, to be precise, with DCIS at every margin.
We all know what comes next. More surgery, punctuated by lymph node localization so they can do a biopsy at the same time.
April 25, 2007.
It's not like I forgot this "anniversary," but I did have to look at my medical records to find out the exact date. That was the day I had a biopsy for a lump in my left breast. I said I'd blog about it after a year and so here I am.
The biopsy itself isn't really the story. The real story is what leads up to the biopsy and what happens after the biopsy. The real story is about being the patient instead of the MT.
I had been an MT for five years, then changed careers, let my accounts know that I was moving into the corporate world and slowly allowed my contracts to find other MTs to replace me. Now I'm back. I missed it. I loved it and in a weird way I wished I never left it! It has been two years. I have done some refresher tapes from some of my old clients and found my talents are still in order. New meds and verbage are out, but that does not scare me. I love challenges.
Hi everyoine!! I'm new to this site and MT in general. I have another full-time job but was looking for something to do to make some extra money. I have a daughter and a fiance (who is going back to school) so I really need some extra money. I thought I would like to do medical transcription so I invested in a course to be certified. I'm starting to worry about getting a job with no MT experience under my belt. My goal is to work from home. Is it worth it to keep pursuing this or not? Any tips on where I can get a job with no experience?
Behold the poor burger. On the one hand, maligned by advocates of healthy living; on the other hand, consumed in record numbers by Americans. It seems people are saying the right thing in public - and doing something else when the rubber meets the road.
How is this like McScription... er, transcription? I am glad you asked.
I had my own MT business for 6+ years but have been out
of it for over 10. I have been searching online for legitimate
companies with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions for
me. I prefer to work in my home office.
Thank you in advance.
It's true, it really is! You have to kiss a lot of toads.
I think I found my niche. The latest job pretty much mostly fits my criteria with a bit of compromise on my part on things that probably weren't the do-all, end-all of MT, but I think it's a good fit. At least it feels comfortable and once again, I am feeling the relaxed sense of "content."
Except SR is at my heels even as we speak, though not on the horizon for at least the rest of this year.
I'll take a deep breath, enjoy it while I can and go ahead and prepare myself for the next adventure.
I was talking to another MT today. First, I was letting her know I'd be leaving the company. Second, we came to the conclusion that in our lifetime, there would always be a need for MTs with our skills. That is a loaded consideration if you truly think about it.
I'm pretty sure nobody plans on starting a business that isn't profitable. However, in medical transcription, I am pretty sure that a lot of small companies start up with no real plans at all.
