Reference problems - discouraged

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 ...

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've just been hired to transcribe for a new transplant clinic. I'm not really familar with the terminology and medications that might accompany this field. Are there any good reference word books (such as Stedman's) that you'd suggest me getting? Thanks in advance for the help! ...

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 ...

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. ...

Theo-24 200 mg is dictated. As you can see, this puts 2 numbers side by side. In this instance, is it okay to type this way or do I type differently. What page in the BOS 2 is this type of issue referenced? Thanks ...

I just started this new job 2 weeks ago working for a plastic surgeon. Now trying to build my reference book library. What books would you recommend?

I know I have come across the answer to this question in the past, but can't seem to put my fingers on it now...... 1. CP 2/3. BOS then Standards OR Standards then BOS? In reference to the q.h.s. question... since all 3 references usually appear somewhere on each CP, would not q.h.s. vs nightly depend on the order of reference materials used? The vast majority of my CPs have "BOS and Standards" at top and JCAHO at the bottom. ...

Does anyone have any really good ENT and dentistry websites to share. I need some good reference websites.

Thanks in advance! ...

Looking for possibly the name of a book (s/l Apocerteries). Doc states they looked up potential drug interaction and according to "Apocerties" there is none. Can't find anything close to even get a hit. ...

Does anyone know of a good online reference for vitamin and supplement names, preferably something that allows for a "sounds like"? I am struggling with this one - it sounds like "ketcava" and I'm thinking it might be something used for insomnia since it's listed in between 2 other supplements used for insomnia. If anyone knows the name of this one or can point me in the direction of where to find it, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance! ...

Hello, MTs! I am back for another question! I do have a list of books I'm interested in purchasing from either Dorland's or Stedman's medical dictionary to Merck Manual's of Patient Symptoms (the list goes on, but I'm just naming a couple). Google is so wonderful when it comes to researching when you don't have anything, but I feel it's not completely reliable as having hardcopy materials. Out of curiosity, what book(s) can you not live without or work without ...

A question about how to type something came up between coworkers, and in order to resolve it I did some online searching. I was stunned to learn that there were just as many "expert/authoritative" sites saying that their way was "the right way" to do it as the other way. (None indicated that it was optional or that either way was fine.) It is striking how many differences there are amongst reference materials; I even found "tendinitis" misspelled (as "tendonitis") in one o ...

There is job posted on one of the boards. They are asking to email a cover letter, resume and to include a reference list. I googled reference list and there is actually a template to make it look professional. My question is the last company I chose to leave and when I asked my supervisor in an email if I could use her as a reference for a nonrelated MT job she never responded. I had worked there six years. The previous two companies do not even exis ...

I am looking for a new job (not an MT job), but I have a problem. One company I worked for two years ago laid me off when they were bought out by another company. I have no idea if my old boss went with the company who bought them out or is working somewhere else. Basically, I'm not sure what to do or say when an application is asking if they can contact this previous employer as I have no information on them???? Any advice? ...
