Serious as a heart attack - newvhmt Posted: Oct 30th, 2009 - 11:44 pm In Reply to: Are you being serious, spending - Questions
I went to an online school in Virginia Beach. It was the Tidewater Technical Institute but was changed over to Centura College about halfway through my schooling. They are fully accredited. I didn't go specifically for transcription. I went for Medical Office Management. I got an Associates in Science degree for Administrative Medical Assisting with a focus in management. They just taught us everything though..transcription, billing and coding, health information management, accounting. Once I got into it, I found that I really LOVED MT work and decided I wanted to pursue that, which I was told I could with that degree. I do type a minimum of 70 wpm and use my expanders and autocorrect religously. We use the Crescendo platform, but I noticed just a while ago, I finished a report and had a total of 411 lines for 6-1/2 hours of work. Then I typed one more report that was two pages, checked again, and my line count was 419. I'm still new at this, but that doesn't seem right. Heck, I typed 2500 lines the first week of work. I research a lot less, I am getting faster both by regular typing and by setting up templates, expanders and autocorrecting a lot of stuff that should save time. Also, when I first started, I listened to the report after I finished it to make sure it was 100%. They told me to stop that, which I have, and still...no faster. My QA is 99.4%. It's not because I don't know what I'm doing.
