EKG nurse keeps saying "teeny Q waves"

typing an echo report, he says "patient does not really have any s/l "sense day waves or senstay waves"?? ...

Electrocardiogram shows sinus rhythm with s/l rate R waves to transmission. Cannot exclude anterior infarct, age undetermined. Borderline first-degree AV block. ...

A PICC line was placed in the ICU by the _____ nurse. Sounds like IFE nurse or ivy nurse, but I haven't found any references to either. ...

I just heard tonight from a lady who has been in school studying to become a nurse. She told me basically her schooling is now over. She made a 74.? in pharmacology and you have to have at least 75. She says she has spent so much money, really applied herself and now all that is over. There is only the 1 time, she tells me and she missed it. ...

I am looking into MT programs and wondering about one which advertises that it is geared to nurses: MT@Home Medical Transcription. It costs significantly less than the three programs which I see referenced quite a bit -Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step, but it seems like these programs involve so much material that I already know. Years ago I did transcription for nurses, I've worked in hopitals/home and office environments as a nurse (also years ago) and I worked in pharmaceutical sales ...

Just wanted to dedicate this post to the nurse practitioner who coughed very LOUDLY throughout two 10-minute reports I just did. Just to let you know, there is such a thing called the MUTE BUTTON. Thank you so much for just about blowing my ear drums out. I literally had to pull my ear plugs out so you wouldn't render me deaf. I feel sorry for whoever uses that dirty, germ-filled phone after you hacked a lung into it. Oh, and BTW, the phrase "carotid bruits" is not pronounced carotid brew- ...

I came across an ad recently catering to unemployed new registered nurses who need jobs badly. I am understanding that the market for RNs and healthcare in general is saturated and then some; however, this article specifically stated "Nurse Medical Transcriptionists." I saw it on All Nurses forum; I don't remember the company . . . BUT a lot of nurses were responding with interest because they can't get jobs. The only thing that was running through my mind was "you have no idea people ...

Just wondering what the majority thinks about these career paths. It seems as though a lot of MTs are moving or considering a move to the RHIT/RHIA world of especially medical coding. I am assuming that the lure of 'work at home' is pulling many in this direction, and I have actually seen where many are questioning whether medical coders are 'paid per code' or 'paid per case' or what? I asked myself what are these people thinking? Has anyone experienced this, ...

and she knew someone who is almost retirement age, having trouble making ends meet, no husband -- now she didn't know if she could spell, but she could probably type -- and figured maybe she could do what I am doing. She didn't get along well with people, so it would have to be an at-home position. ARRRRRGGGGG!!!! and could I help her... now I have had numerous calls such as these over the years, but from a NURSE!? You'd think at least she ...

I need to find a real job with benefits and insurance so I am thinking about going to school to be a LPN or radiology tech. Anyone done either of these? Did you feel like your MT background helped in the courses? I am 40 so I will have to take all that math and english before I can do anything. Any advice.....? Thanks ...

I have been working in this field for many, many years. When I started, it was a little easier to break into this field. It was in an era when everyone didn't work at home and every company didn't require 2 years experience. I figured the newbies on this board would know the answer to my question. I have a friend who has been an RN for years and would like to break into the MT field. Being that she has terminology/medical experience, is there any way ...

I have a physician who needs ideas of verbage at the bottom of dictation in which his nurse practitioner dictates notes for him on patient's that they see together. Has anyone provided anything like this before? Any ideas? ...

And other types of medical records jobs as well. Explain to me what makes a nurse qualified to do these jobs? ...

Is it always correct to use nurses' notes in dictation? My reasoning is that it is yes because there could be more than one nurse charting on the case. ...

That was such a clever idea to multitask and eat your lunch while dictating, killing two birds with one stone, as they say. It's so cute and funny hearing muffled words through your chomps and swallows. I wish I could return the gesture and make your day more pleasant too. Merry Christmas. ...

Of course we start talking about everything. Well my local hospital surgeons no longer dictate. Their medical students follow them around and are in charge of keeping track of everything and then later going in and entering it in the computer. This is a HUGE group of hospitals and I am sure impacts a lot of us. Also, my local doctors have begun bringing their computers into the room when your in for whatever, and doing the paperwork right there, on your dime or the insurance companies dime, ...

Not sure if they are saying VSE, PSE or BSE? It's a protocol if a nurse or healthcare worker accidentially sticks themselves with a needle and I tried googling, but I can't find anything definitive. TIA ...

I am not allowed to think for you! Sincerely, The Typing Zombie I have done three extremely long H&Ps dictated by the same nurse practitioner and OMG. She has dictated the entire physical exam and in the middle of dictating the extremities, she says, "He has been wearing O2 2 liters nasal cannula during the daytime hours." No, go back up and put this in under vitals or respiratory. Just, "There is peripheral edema. Pedal pules are normal. Skin is ...
