MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION CAREER MADE EASY

Tuesday, November 18, 2008 10:13 AM, Jen

While attending nursing school minnesota, I became frustrated that I could not make enough money to keep myself afloat throughout my schooling. I heard about getting an online medical transcription degree, but I didn't really know how to go about it. A friend of mine had already done this, and she said that her background in medical terminology, made it really simple to get through the program quickly. She said that she reduced her course load slightly and began to do the online degree program at night and on the weekends and that it was pretty simple to get through the program. Now she says that she can do medical transcription around her regular class schedule and that she can adjust the amount of work that she does based on what her school load is for the week. She said that on breaks she tries to work a lot to save some money, and this has enabled her to stop taking out so many student loans for living expenses. She says that she loves medical transcription and that it is really easy, and pays her really well. She said that she makes at least twice as much pay for the same amount of hours that she used to work part time as a waitress.

Well, she gave me all the information and I looked into it. It was quite inexpensive and the person I spoke with said that it would be really easy for me to do, especially since I already had a nursing background and for most people the terms were half the battle. I signed up and am on my way to taking the medical transcription course online and getting my degree. She said that once I complete the program they will even help set me up with someone who needs my service and get me placement in the field. This is really good news for me because I really don't know where I would look to find these types of jobs. Now I have all the tools that I need to make some extra money while I am in school, with the flexibility to allow me to fit in the other aspects of my life and that is just wonderful!
