Average Salaries For Medical Transcription Are Higher Than You Think

I am interested in medical transcriptionist training because I need a new career. I was forced to resign from my job as an L.P.N., 1 1/2 years ago because of degenerative disc disease. I became unable to do the lifting, standing and walking, etc. the job required. I have known a few people who have worked at home as a MT, and they found it rewarding work. Also the average salaries for medical transcription are great. I love the idea that I may have the opportunity to work at home which would give me more time with my family. Also, I am no longer able to withstand the physical endurance of holding down a full time job. My husband is medically ill, and on disability-to find a career I could manage from my home would be a god-send. I have a medical background. I worked as a LPN for 28 years in a hospital setting. My job included a variety of things-I am knowledgeable in medical terminology, procedures, tests, and medications. I have done medical secretary duties as well. I worked with computers to do my job. I have a background in keypunch/data entry, as well. I desperately need a career which will support me and my husband. I have been out of work for 1 year. We are struggling just to survive. We are eek-ing by, barely on his SS disability monthly check. SN:0TG9Y2ESY

I have checked into medical transcriptionist schools before, but never pursued anything, other than a little info. What I have read about this career interests me and always has. This sounds like a career I would very much enjoy, and find that I could be excellent at it. I spend a lot of time at the computer thru the day, writing, reading typing letters, and e-mails. This is one thing I can do physically, and without suffering pain and numbness associated with my physical problem. I decided to work on forwarding my education-thru on-line classes. My hopes of finishing RN school are out of reach now, so I need another career choice in a field I am familiar with. I explored trying to finish my 2 year college degree, but right now financially, I am unable to do so. Obtaining MT training and degree (if offered) would be the answer to my prayers-as a new career and for the financial reasons-both of which I need very much. I am used to working hard all my life, not quitting anything I start, and working the hardest I can to improve myself, and do a good job for anyone I have ever worked for. This is the perfect solution for me to be able to get back to work at something I will be good at and that is not too physically demanding. I am very interested in a MT degree. I need employment as soon as I can get it. This type of career seems perfect to me and I am so excited about the possibility of actually getting into this school. The possibility of starting a MT business is something I would very much be interested in-a goal I can set after I finish the goal of getting a degree. For more information, visit www.MTRecruiters.com
