Re: OT: Work from home/med transcipt? Tess

[Guest guest]

Hey Tess:

Yes, there is money to be made with transcribing. I

did that for about six years, working in a hospital,

and then two doctors office's, and then on my own for

about two years until my son got a tracheostomy and

then it was nursing duties 24/7 with no time to put

headphones on and type for hours any longer. After

that, more surgery for him, and another baby for me,

and being full time mom took up my time. Over the

years I did think about going back, but now with the

RA making my hands not as quick as they were, and more

pain and stiffness with more typing, and my fibro

messing up my once great memory and concentration. It

just does not seem to still be in the cards for me.

But, yes, there is money in it, and transcription

services out there looking for transcribers, or even

hospitals or doctor's office who send work out. I'd

say give it a try, why not? Best of luck, kiddo.
