A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Lost my good hourly-paying job and wondered what to do next. I started looking into records because to me, it seemed a good move for a transcriptionist.
I did get a job in records--and I hate it. I'll do my best and learn what I can, but now I'm glad I didn't spend time and money getting certified in records before having actually worked in it.
It might be worth trying another records job elsewhere since each place has their own way of doing things--but I am looking into other lines of work as well.
Believe me, I know I'm lucky to have found something. That's what bugs me; the national mindset seems to be, just be glad you found anything at all. That may be a generalization, but I know many who do feel this way. Sad.
On a positive note, I do like reading what others are doing or thinking about doing--the more ideas the better. Keep 'em coming.
