Have you read a hospital chart carefully?

54. No...

There was me and another transcriptionist at the OBGYN office. She has been at it for 25 years and she was very protective of her position. I was new out of a technical school and their program was not that great. It just made for an uncomfortable situation. I was supposed to fill in 1 day a week at an internist office, too, but it was no different there.

It seemed like they were very protective of their positions and it was very competitive with the rest of the transcriptionists. I loved doing the work, but the competitive nature took out the enjoyment I got from it. When I first started I was at 65 LPH and when I left I was at over 100 LPH. That took about 10 months of work to reach 100.

I was told by my supervisor I would likely never get to work out of my home. That was when I saw I would never get anywhere at that position and under those conditions I wouldn't get far.

I said screw it and went back to school. Just got accepted to nursing school and I start this week. I'd rather do clinical work anyway.
