A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I am so bored and unchallenged by my editing job. I feel like a monkey could do this. I have a degree in health information but this field sucks, honestly. I hate it. I want out but feel stuck in a rut with my whole work history being MT work. Getting into other parts of health information is so hard without certification. I am eligible to sit for my RHIT but it's been 5 years since I got my AAS so I forgot a lot of what I learned and studying for it seems overwhelming...worried I'd fail it.
Anyway, is there a way to make doing these reports fun and challenging? Does anyone have a game they play with it? Like so many reports in a certain time or focusing on learning all of the medical procedures, etc. while they work? I don't know! Anything!! I completely bought new everything for my work area and that didn't even help. I'm burned out!
People would kill for my job and often tell me how jealous they are of the position I have and it has it's good points but it's not intellectually stimulating to me whatsoever and I need to figure out a way to make it be! I plan on going back to school to change careers but what until then? My production is suffering because I can't focus and am so bored!
Help!
