Maybe the name of a drug reference book?

I am a newly hired MT and do not have a drug reference book yet. I am looking for suggestions for a good drug reference book. Also, looking for any other suggestions that may help me improve my knowledge and speed. Thanks! ...

I'm trying to locate/remember the name of a drug reference book I used to have. It was ring-bound (plastic), had a white cover, and was slim and lightweight. It just had the meds in alphabetical order. I would like to get another and can't seem to recall any info about it, and therefore can't locate one to purchase! ...

Does anyone know of a "be-all/end-all" reference book for all the stages and grades across all disciplines (specialties) and whether they are expressed in roman or arabic numerals. If there is, it would be worth it's weight in gold to me (almost). Thanks! - B ...

Has anyone actually read all 500+ pages? Our group was told we were doing headings the wrong way for an account which is new to our group, but that was not listed in the CP. When questioned, we were directed to the BOS2. Fortunately, we were given the path to find that section. Although some of what was demanded was in the BOS2, other demands were not. Very frustrating. I have found the BOS to be so unwieldy to use, that I normally do not bother. Of course, this put my panties in a bun ...

I am interested in updating my drug book as there have been so many new medications since my last 2001 Monthly Prescribing Reference Book and I cannot afford to keep subscribing to that. What reference book/internet site would you suggest to help me with new medications. Thank you for your help and response. ...

My computer has in its programs section Stedman's and a drug index. The amount of memory taken up is sizeable, so I'm assuming the entire electronic book is contained in the file. I'm certainly no computer genius and am afraid to attempt to open and launch these without knowing what steps to take. Does anyone know how I would go about opening the file, creating a desktop shortcut and launching them? I'd love to be able to use them...if I could get to ...

I have used the Quick Look Drug book (electronic version) for years made by LWW (Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins) and each year they notify me when the new year's version is available - now turns out, since I did not get notification of the 2014 version the company is not taking that book any more, regular or electronic. This was a Stedmans version that worked with the ReadyReferenceBookShelf process where all words books, electronic, are connected - when I asked about a replacement LWW sa ...

I need to upgrade by drug book. Which do you guys use if any? I used to use the Quick Look but over the last couple of years have been going with Saunders Pharmaceutical. Just wondering . . . ...

The Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book is no longer being published. Does anyone else have a drug reference they like that they use? (And please don't point me to websites - I know the websites...I also like to have an actual, physical book handy, as well.) Thanks!! ...

When completing job applications, are you all putting down the main MQ number in Laurel, NJ, are you using your current CCM's info (they chg so frequently), or using the URL for employment verification. I have to find something else soon. I guess you can consider me a complainer now too because I'm tired of making less and less money but working more hours. I'm working another job, but have to find a replacement for MQ asap. I can't do this anymor ...

Question regarding use of reference books....I've been working for the same transcription company for 10 years and have kept very busy in that time, but as of the last six months, they have lost accounts and work has dropped off significantly. I applied for a job last week that asked me which reference books I currently use. To be honest, I haven't renewed any of my reference books in about 8 years, as I found it to be much, much quicker to locate terms via the Internet if you ...

Hi, Can anyone recommend the best radiology reference? I'd like terms, phrases, and abbreviations combined. I'd like to have one reference at-hand. First, assignment/dictator could barely understand. How long before you felt more comfortable with various reports? ...

Does anyone else have problems supplying work references? It seems the jobs I'm interested in all very emphatically ask for work references that can be verified and I've worked at home for just two companies in the past 10 years and had no contact with any other employees besides my supervisors. I definitely don't want to give the current employer as a reference so that leaves me one that I worked for six years ago. Not sure what to do in this case. ...

I am new to MTStars and am currently enrolled as a MT student working toward completing an AAS degree. I am in my 6th quarter and starting to transcribe documents and reports in all the different fields. This week our transcription class discussion was centered around different reference resources and guides and I was wondering what are some of the favorites that are actually used by experienced MTs. I have never worked in a medical profession and making a huge transition after becoming una ...

Been trying to work on these mumbling dictators and the reference reports that used to be in the system are no longer there. Guess it's just another way to screw us on our pay by having to use markers. Wonder why they took them out....MMMMMM. ...

So I'm wondering what the difference between the Nurse's Pocket Drug Guide and The Pill Book is. I am trying to gather some reference material to be better stocked for my first transcription job and I'm not sure what to actually get. I'm on a tight budget but know that I need decent material. Throughout school I mostly used my textbooks and online reference material and it worked great but I'm not sure if companies are open to that type of work/referencing. Any help or a ...

Sorry not sure what people have said and not sure where this would be posted but.........all those things you list, we have had but the Q took them all away! Everything you say is correct but the suits want the money and throughout corporate America no company wants to pay the people who do the work. They just want the money in their pockets. Until the Q loses accounts because the work is so bad will they think about paying the MTs what we are worth. Don't ...

I'm in the process of applying for a new medical transcription job. However, when listing my history, I've found that some of the companies I've worked for have been acquired by another company (and now have new names). It's also been difficult contacting my old supervisors. I'm currently going through LinkedIn but don't know if I'll get a reply. Can someone suggest a way that I can list these types of references? Thanks. ...
