Hi Everybody,
I'm Toni (tveye)from Redding, CA. I'm going to take Kimi's lead and introduce newbie myself.
I am told Networking is the best way to get oneself out there and so that's what I'm gonna start doing!
I am very close to finishing the At-Home Professions MT course and will be entering the market, hopefully by the end of the summer.
I am a 55 year old mother of one fine 29-year-old son who is currently in the PhD program at UC Davis, CA. Obviously I am very proud of him. I am also really excited to be entering the medical transcription field and am also a little worried that my lack of experience will prohibit me from gaining employment.
However, that will not stop me from "beating the bushes"! In that same vein, I am told I should find a mentor, so if anyone is interested please let me know. Thank you! HAPPY 4th of JULY

Welcome tyeve!! Thanks for giving us some background information!

Thanks kkb!

Hey,

Just to introduce ourselves as well - we are Star Transcription you can find us at http://www.startranscription.com.

We're taking on some clients in the US so it will be interesting to chat to you guys.

Hi everyone!
I am a new graduate in this field and visited here often as a non-member during my studies. I learned a lot from just reading so many post's and it was awesome!

My name is Shelly and I have 3 children....ages are 10, 13 and 17. I have always wanted to transcribe (and actually did transcribing at a Vet Clinic I worked at years ago). I copy typed and was on site so it was easy to get answers on their sloppy handwriting! LOL!!

Anyway, I just wanted to say 'HI' and it is so nice to be a part of this as an actual member now.

Take care!

Shelly

Hi Shelly and Welcome!

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

My name is Teresa Lee, 48 years old, married with two children, 22 and 29, and live in rural Virginia near a little town called Scottsville.

I'm currently a Web Developer, but my job will soon be moving to another state and I'm not mobile. Before becoming a Web Developer, I worked as a transcriptionist for 12 years for this same company, so I do have transcription experience. My work was company correspondence for a major insurance company, used some medical terminology, but not a great deal. I'm now falling back on this experience, hoping to start a new career. I signed up with AHP in October 2010 to learn the medical terminology and am just getting ready to start Book 5. It's been slow getting through the course, working fulltime.

I was excited to find this forum and to learn that so many of you have the same questions and apprehensions that I do.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Hi everyone,
I am Theresa Saylor, 39 years old, married and a mother of a 13 year old son. I live on the border of Wisconsin/Upper Michigan. I started the AHP program in October of 2010 and I am just finishing up with autopsy reports on Quiz 29. For the past 11 years, I have been employed as a graphic designer, designing advertisements for magazines and newspapers, and wanted something different.

Reading everyones posts have been extremely helpful and like most have said I wish I would have found this site earlier. I found it by searching for autopsy report samples.

Thank you in advance to anyone who will be able to help with my questions.
