Are you keeping track of how many lines

you have transcribed in your working

career so far? That would be a fun piece

of trivia. Bill

Over what period of time, Rennie?

About 3 months. I know that's not a lot of lines, but remember I'm a baby MT.

Lynn, I'm copying below a blurb from my resume, which is in my " Education "

section. This is how I

handled it:

~~

Career Step medical transcription course: http://www.careerstep.com,

1-.

Graduated with high honors, October 2, 2001

November 2000 to October 2001

Comprehensive course work (900 hours) in grammar and punctuation, medical

terminology, anatomy and

physiology, and editing/proofreading. Typed 909 reports and transcribed 579

reports. The practice

transcriptions are 77% physician dictated, covering 18 medical specialties.

Both acute care and

clinic notes are included in the practice transcriptions.

Final examination score was 96% on the objective portion and 103% on the

transcription portion.

~~

HTH

p.s. I'm about to enter the " big time " because with Rodeer, I'll have a min

daily line count of

1080! They said they will give me a " little " time to get there, but they didn't

say how long. I

hope it's a couple of months and not a couple of weeks!

It's nothing to scoff at! That's about 3,617.33 lines per week, or 723.47

lines per day. More than I have under my belt, unless you count lines typed

in classroom reports or e mail (too bad we can't get paid for that). I've

just been " listening " to the figures tossed back and forth, and trying to

get an idea of what I'm in for once I start. My other projects are nearing

completion, after which I will do some " boning up " on transcription (I

finished my coursework about a year ago) before starting to submit resumes

and pounding the pavement. Which brings up a question...when asked how many

reports I've typed, do I get to include all the reports typed in class or

home-study programs? It will sound a lot better than " zero " .
