Student doing a paper on coding - help

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 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. ...

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 ...

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.

HELP!!! ...

There's an article today in my hometown newspaper from an area community college about its MT course, about how MTs are needed for VR, how they make $34,000 a year, and how you can work at home.

I have to compare 20 or more hospitals in different parts of the country. I only need the state, not the city or name of the hospital. I am supposed to list the hourly rate and if there is an incentive plan.

I am beginning to transcribe for a new local physician. I've been an MT for 20 years, have had my own clients & have worked for the nationals - but I've never printed onto sticky paper. The office manager gave me a whole pack of it. It has 11 perforated sections from top to bottom, with about a 1-inch margin on right and left. Is there some sort of a template for Microsoft word that will print correctly onto each section? I don't see a name brand on the pac ...

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 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 ...
