When I first asked myself what I wanted to do when I graduated High School my first thought and passionate answer was Veterinarian. I applied to Murray State College and attended my first year enthusiastically. My favorite class and subject was medical terminology. I loved being able to look at a word not knowing it’s definition and pulling it apart piece by piece till I knew for certain what it was based on my teachings. After a while I realized I couldn’t handle the actual putting down of animals. I dropped out of college and jumped from job to job.

One day sitting down with my mother talking about what I might be interested in she told me about online medical transcriptionist jobs. I love to type and tell stories and feel I am exceptionally good at it. The idea of being able to pick up or receive my work and go to my little desk and away from others and concentrate on telling someone’s story makes me excited. Whether it is a coroner’s transcription of someone’s last story or a doctor keeping notes I feel like I am contributing to someone’s life to the best of my ability.

Setting one’s own schedule and pace is a must have in my life. I’m an easily stressed person in the work place and being around more than 5 or 6 people at once can trigger my stress. I happen to be a natural night owl so I am in my element during the night. I tend to be a homebody and reclusive so I am really excited at the possibility of attending an online school with flexible hours and mentoring as needed. I honestly can’t wait to hear from the administrators. I work best if I can go at my own pace putting my all into my work so that I may be proud of it.

I would have to say the contributing factor in making my decision for Future MT would be the medical transcription jobs at home. As I said before my reclusive personality and stressful state in a normal work place has been a major factor in my life and I am taking my own steps to control what I do with my life rather than letting it control me. The testimonials have been enlightening to read. I identify with so many people. The over view’s and how everything is laid out seems almost too perfect to be true. I love knowing that I will be able to pick up my school work and decide when I will do it and at what pace is comfortable to me, make my own mistakes and corrections one on one with someone.

My goals at this time are to apply, be accepted and complete the basic MT educational courses. I would love to be able to start as soon as I am finished with my basic education and work from my home doing the medical transcriptions. However, I am aware that some, if not most companies, prefer you to have a year or two in the medical field. So I am preparing myself for that step after my schooling is finished. I don’t know that I would personally like to have my own business, but who knows, maybe one day. I would definitely need to continue taking classes to keep up with changes in the medical community and learning about all the new discoveries we come across every day. The medical world is ever changing and though I do not have the proper skills to be a part of those discoveries, I have found a different path allowing me to see into that world.

I am 25 years old and I am a certified nurse’s assistant. Growing up my mom always told me how important it was to go to college and make something of myself because she didn’t and she wanted better for me. Then she started having mental problems and kicked me out of the house when I was 17. To this day I am not really sure why she did it and she continues to disown me. Although I was crushed to think that my mom did not love me, I managed to still go to school and do well. Even though my mom was not around, a part of me still wanted to rebel against her.

I did not go to college like she wanted me to. I took a C.N.A. class that was offered to me for free at my high school. Since then I have not done anything with myself and as I get older I wish I would have listened to her no matter how bad our relationship was. I now have a 2 year old son and a dead end C.N.A job that pays $8.50 an hour. Everyone tells me I need to go into nursing but I just can’t see myself being happy doing that every day, even though the pay sounds real good right about now. I want to do something that will better allow me to go at my own pace. Also, I want to be able to spend time with my son and really be there for him when he needs me. Right now I have to work a lot just to break even with the bills and my son is really suffering. He is having developmental delays and behavioral issues. Occupational therapists, developmental therapists and speech therapists have to come into our home to work with him. And it breaks my heart because they are doing the things that I should be doing but I don’t because when I am not at work, I am so tired. SN:0MA9N2ESY

I think the Future MT program would be really great for my family, it would allow me to be at home with my son and eventually be a better provider for him. Plus, medical transcription at home would be less physical than a C.N.A, so I would not be as tired every day. In the future I want to have more children and I really think that a career in MT would make me feel confident in that decision. Right now, my mind is set on pursuing a MT education but I am not really in any position to be able to put a lot of money into it. But if I could get just a little help, I know that I would make everyone involved proud. I am confident that I could find a job in the MT field that would make me happy to be a part of it. And after I get all the experience necessary, I feel that I would be able to run a MT business of my own. online medical transcriptionist jobs
