Preterm intrauterine pregnancy, with (P3 ROM), chorioamnionitis and placenta previa. If you have to type all this out, I know rom is rupture of membranes but what is the P3? ...
I have seen some posts lately that lead me to believe that some people don't know that sm means "some more" (to their post) and nm means "no more" (to their post). There may be the occasional person who has those initials, but for the most part, that's what they mean.
It leads to confusion when trying to follow a thread, like everyone using anon. or anonymous. ...
I know there are many people now in the same boat but it does feel good to get things off the chest now and then. Been with this company for over 15 years, now on the verge of losing my home and everything else. Live in a very small town where we used to have a couple of factories that have now closed so no work - heck our little Salvation Army store just closed! Near retirement age if it isn't changed to 90 in the near future but in the meantime have no choice but to keep strugg ...
long does this usually last? I am in the process to applying for other jobs to places in my area, non-MT and even got a couple resumes out for some Part Time IC positions.
Wondering if I should apply for partial unemployment? Is this a yearly thing this time of the year? No work for the past two days and looking at the statistics, there is only just over 12,000 jobs out there company wide and for each job out there, there is probbly 5 MTs waiting and hoping to snag it. ...
After reading some posts on here written by nurses, it intrigues me why a nurse would want to get into the rat's nest world of MT. Is it the lure of a work-at-home job? Or is there something else I'm not aware of? I was just reading on a nursing forum where many were complaining of being called off or being required to float, having their hours permanently cut back due to critical shortages and/or low census, even having foreign nurses brought in at a lower ...
Any one out there going to nursing school, or at least starting with getting the prereqs out of the way, take a nurse aide job to help gain experience? There are quite a few CNA positions at our local hospital. Although I'm not a CNA, but working on pursuing my nursing degree, but I am considering taking a pay cut to do nurse aide work to gain the experience. Just wondered if anyone else out there did this. The only thing that scares me is that I've been at home ...
I started taking the nursing program at my local college 10 years ago and loved it, but dropped out after a year to get married, bad decision! So, just looking to see if anyone here has been a nurse or is going into nursing and what they like/dislike about their jobs. I am also looking into the RN program in the future. ...
Something to consider before you invest in training. Not saying don't do it, just be aware that you're not guaranteed a job when you graduate.

Has anyone made the decision to go back to school for nursing? I am 45 years old and am seriously considering going to school this fall. I would be starting from scratch as I have no college education. I am debating on whether to pursue an associates (RN) or bachelors degree (BSN). I am wondering if anyone else near my age is doing this and how are they faring. Any input would be greatly appreciated. ...
Anyone seriously considering this? I am concerned about the money issue, of course. Did anyone receive a student loan that was enough to pay for books, supplies and have a little extra left over for living? It's been so long since DH had a student loan, I can't remember anything about that. I would still work part-time, of course, but that wouldn't put food on the table.
I just can't stay in this proffession anymore, have to do something to get out of ...
I am 3/4 through the Andrew's coding course and it is HARD!!! Sometimes I think I wish I went into nursing. A 2-year degree and you can start (in my area at least) at 30 an hour.
With coding, at my local hospital, they start at 26 an hour for inpatient coders, BUT you need experience! I feel it may take me a few years to get up to the pay rate of 26/hour, and in between I will have to go back to school to learn ICD-10 and pass even more tests.
AND, by the time I am ...
I just need opinions. Due to pay cuts left and right having to complete with India, micromanaging, increasingly having to compete with India for work even within the same MTSOs we work for, having to worry about our USA-only companies being sold to bigger ones that hire offshore workers, continually having great accounts only to be told "oh they're going to VR but you'll still be doing ALL the editing" only to lose your account a month later, etc, I'm just plain sick of this ...
Hoping to start a nursing program. I am 35 and have been a medical transcriptionist since graduating from high school. I would like to eventually obtain a Master's in nursing. I have been planning this for a while (almost two years), but I've been really nervous, so I have kind of put things off. I think one thing I'm nervous about is it is my first time going to college. I was trained for medical transcription at a technical school while still in hig ...
Good morning all - I'm trying for a dermatologist today. Not my usual account. She dictates "He is fair com plected" meaning he has a fair complexion. What is the right way to spell complected? I googled it, came up with a lot of variations and nothing concrete.
Thanks for your time! ...
Clearly s/l "for far." I thought maybe he was saying 4th floor, but doesn't sound that way at all. Could it be some kind of specialized nursing staff for rehab? An excellent dictator - I just can't figure this bit out! ...

The physician request that I format in an ER Note, but all I can find is an ER Consultation, progress Note, or soap note. How do I decide which to use? I need one that can handle the history, past medical history, and review of systems. Does anyone have a site I can locate this information plz.

I just got a note from my quality coach (or whatever they are called) for a QA note that I left on a patient that I did. The quality of sound was poor to the point where I was pulling my hair out. All I said was poor cell phone reception, poor sound quality. ...
