CONSOLIDATING STUDENT LOANS INFO

Not that it would be possible, just something I myself have been looking into. The trade school I went to, I paid a little over $12k for my MT course of 9 months. The school is not AHDI certified. I was told ( Back in 2009) that I could get a job right after graduation and be able to work from home. I had great teachers who refused to just pass everyone (as some were instructed to do by the school so they could keep their accredidation from the state). I was going ...

Here is what I put in this petition - I tried not to make it specific to MT, as there are more jobs that need to come back than just ours. Stop the overseas off-shoring of American jobs - at least stop those that contain personal information. (this is the title to search for at "we the people" if the link does not post)Stop the overseas off-shoring of American Jobs will keep American Jobs in American, will keep American money in America. Once that money leaves it will n ...

I know that all schools are not created equal, but What I really want to know is how these three schools really rank in the eyes of an experienced coder or someone who has been involved in any of these programs Career Step A college or university with credits and an AA degree AHIMA Do you think Career step is equal to AHIMA as far as learning? ...

This past year I have read dozens of articles about "accredited" schools that are "approved for federal student loans", that enroll students, enticing them by offering financial aid, pressuring them to enroll even, calling them, e-maiing them, then, after they get them enrolled, not teaching them enough so they can get a job to repay those student loans. They keep them in the program long enough so that they get paid, giving the students "happy grades" so they don't get discouraged and quit ...

There's an interesting thread on the New MT board about accredited schools, school loans, and oppressive debt students are facing. I did a search today and there are dozens of articles talking about how students are thousands of dollars in debt for student loans when the education they got was so poor that they can't find a job at all. Others can find a job, but it will take 20-30 years for them to pay back the student loans. They went to those schools because they got pressured ...

I am currently a student and will be finished with my studies in a few weeks. I really need some information on the software I will need in addition to MS Word/ Works and what pedal to get. I also need direction on getting working as soon as possible. Part time from home is what I really need as I am currently working a 40+ an hour job until I can go to full time transcribing. Any information that would get me started in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. ...

Has anyone heard about what VLC has done to its students??? We have all been scammed!! Are there any of us out there? I saw a posting that said we could talk and post here. Thanks ...

Should student MTs be asking for word help in this forum? Is that a big no-no? Trying not to step on toes... ...

I am a student who really wants to go back to work! I only have one more class and then I'm done with my transcription certificate but I'm having a hard time wanting to go back and finish my medical secretary diploma. I'm also having a hard time trying to find an internship here in poe-dunk Iowa. I just want someone else's opinion! Can someone give me an idea??? ...

My name is Chelsea and I am enrolled in the MT program at Allied Schools. I have been practicing transcription for about 3 weeks now and it is kicking my butt! I am freaking out and I just don't know what to do.. Any advice?? I feel like such a failure and I could really use any advice that ya'll have to offer. Thanks! ...

Why, oh why, oh why can't the students hit the PAUSE button when they are dictating to gather their thoughts? Why must I sit through listening to page turning, and "thinking" noises? Meanwhile, time is money in this job ... and I really am getting tired of this! My main account is a large teaching hospital, and so I get alot of students, residents, fellows ... etc. <grrrrrrrrr> OK .. I feel better now that I just vented! :) ...

Hi all of you wannabe coders out there. I have just finished my A&P course with AHIMA and am starting coding basics. I would love to communicate those out there who are in this program, just starting out or previous students. Let me know how far along you are and also what your background is. I am very excited about getting to do this program. I have been a transcriptionist for almost 20 years and am totally burned out, both physically and mentally. ...

I am months away from completing an "associates degree" in MT at a well-known online "university." As I have prepared to change careers and start finding a job, I have realized what you all seem to already know...the job pickings are slim at best, and NO ONE wants to hire a newbie. In short, I have never felt so taken advantage of and just...scammed. The education I have received is sub-par, with more time spent with unnecessary classes like "Keyboarding" than with classes tha ...

HI everyone. I'm seriously thinking of doing medical transcription as a career change. I've been researching schools for about 4-6 months. I realize that Andrews and M-Tec are considered the top two, but I just can't afford these schools. I have read several posts on this forum and am wondering if it is possible to get schooling elsewhere that will give me the information I need to find a job and work successfully. I've b ...

Hi all. I am doing a career exploration paper on medical coding. I need some interesting facts about medical coding. Can anyone explain how the ICD came about? Any other interesting facts would be appreciated! ...

I am a new MT student that is visually impaired. I'm having a very difficult time with studies and keyboarding class. I'd like to find someone that has low or no vision that could tell me how they have gotten through classes and what devises and software systems they may have used. I feel like I'm out here doing this all by myself. Thanks, Brandi ...

I am a coding student and have a couple questions. If a patient is admitted for aspiration pneumonia, has difficulty swallowing due to a previous stroke and has a stage 2 decuibuts ulcer on the buttock why is the sequencying in this order 507.0, 438.82, 707.05, 707.22 I get the principal diagnosis, but do not understand why the dysphagia is sequenced before the ulcer.

I am a new coding student -- having taken three classes so far. I was understanding everything, I thought, pretty well, and while I was not always able to get the right code, I always knew what I had done wrong. But now V codes. I can't find anything. I don't even know what words to look up. I feel like I'm lost. Will this get easier? I'm getting so discouraged. ...

I have heard different interpretations of the "no commercial use" rule by Microsoft about the Home and Student version of Office. Some say you cannot use this version to work from home as an MT, and some say it only means that Home and Student version just doesn't have all the bells and whistles someone would need for commercial use. I just called Microsoft, and the rep told me that it IS okay to use it in that way, but I don't feel confident he really knew what I was ask ...

I just started medical coding school. I'm just feeling like this is so much information to know, how am I going to remember all of this and be accurate? I REALLY want this as a career & dont want to fail. Do most coding students feel this way? Does it take some time for things to "click"? I'm just feeling overwhelmed and it's concerning. I hope I'm just overthinking this. Any reassurance would really be helpful. ...

Hi! I am registering for coding classes at Andrews this week. I just finished the AHIMA A&P course, passed the final exam, and after doing extensive research through the threads here on MTStars, I have decided to continue my coding studies through Andrews. My future goals are to hold both the CCS and the CPC credentials in the future. I read the Andrews grads are passing the CCS right out of school. Great!! Do I need two years of coding experience ...

Does anyone know if Microsoft Office 2003 student/teacher and EditScript 10.2 work together? I thought I saw somewhere it was not supported. I also have Vista 64 bit. Thanks. ...

This board is not quiet because the coders are working. It is quiet because coders can't post here. This board has a problem with a small number of people, apparently not coders, who have a problem with any and all positive postings. The description below that they jump on the posts like a pack of hyenas was very apt. They attack the OP and all responses until they derail the thread and either get it deleted or obstruct the original discussion. This has prett ...

Do most of us have Microsoft Office Home & Student version or the Professional version? The only difference I can see is that Professional has 2 other features, Publisher and Access, which most of us don't need in our MT work. I can buy 2010 Home and Student for about 1/3 the cost of 2010 Professional. Thoughts? ...

Ok, so I thought I had made up my mind on attending Andrews, but there is a certificate course offered by a local college. This is not a community college but Kent State University. Now I am wondering, should I try to go through their course to earn actual college credits that will be transferrable to a degree someday or go through Andrews where I know for sure they will prepare me for the coding certifications?? HELP!!! ...
