Graduate Corner Graduates for June 2010 - July 2010 “If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.” - Thomas Alva Edison Career Step would like to extend our warmest congratulations to recent graduates of our program. Their names are listed below along with any comments they wished to make. Congratulations and good luck to everyone! USA Graduates Amy - Stamping Ground, KY As Career Step provides the tools, a student must possess the willpower and self-discipline to take time to absorb as much as possible. I feel that the entire time it took me to complete this course (almost 2 years), given some lifestyle changes i.e., moving, becoming a FT stay-at-home mom, and some financial struggles and adjustments, it was well worth it to MAKE the time to absorb all of the information slowly so that it would “stick”. As for testing in the final exam, I admit that I thought it would be easier than it was. Yet, when I received news that I passed after the 2nd try, I felt refreshed and that it was worth reaching the high standards required to pass. I feel equipped to pursue a job as a medical transcriptionist now! Thank you! Antonina - New York, NY I would highly recommend the Career Step program to aspiring medical transcriptionists. The training is all-inclusive and presented in an interesting and understandable fashion. Student support and the forums were invaluable sources of information and help. Kudos to Career Step for a challenging, user-friendly method to get an excellent education in this field. Candace - Lexington, MO This is not your typical, cookie cutter online course. Career Step offers you a comprehensive education that is well respected in the medical transcription industry. The books, reference materials, online courses, and professional guidance are all focused on one objective - your success! Casey - New Castle, PA I loved my training with Career Step! It is such an excellent program, and it really prepares you for working at home as an MT. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in a career in medical transcription. I just recently graduated, and I already have a job offer! Thank you Career Step! Cynthia - Delaware, OH The Career Step MT course was excellent in preparing me for working in the MT field. Thank you Career Step for giving me the tools necessary to begin such an exciting career! Debbie - Kempner, TX I researched online medical transcription companies for a year before I decided to enroll with Career Step. When I started my training, I knew I had made the right choice. The course was well written, and I was able to retain more than I realized. I enjoyed logging in each day to learn something new. I am excited to have reached my goal, and now I am an honors graduate. A bit of encouragement to those taking the final exam: my first two scores were no pass, even though I did improve the second time around. The third time was the charm, jumping up 13 points in my grade to be an honors graduate. I literally screamed when I read my results. Now I am faced with the challenge of landing that dream job of working from home, which I am confident will happen. Thanks to all of you at Career Step for what you do. Donelle - Olympia, WA Never give up! Donita - Norman, OK I am so excited to be a graduate of the Career Step program. I feel very confident in my transcription abilities, and I feel like the way the program is set up is the reason for that confidence. I graduated with honors in June 2010 and was employed within 3 weeks of completing the course. I will recommend the Career Step Program to anyone interested in pursuing a career in medical transcription. Doris - Wolfeboro, NH I enjoyed the course immensely. I feel ready to start my job search, and am very excited to be working in my new career as a medical transcriptionist. Elizabeth - Sachse, TX My training at Career Step allowed me to achieve DSP status with my employer after only 2 weeks’ employment. DSP stands for Direct Submit Privileges, meaning I now submit my work directly to the client’s QC department with no prior internal Focus Infomatics review, unless I request it. I think that says it all about the school that trained me. Gail - Garrison, TX Career Step has helped me make a dream come true. I was interested in doing medical transcription for years when I worked in medical records at a local hospital. I was a clerk who did discharge chart deficiencies and never got a chance to start learning transcription. I met my future husband, married and moved away before I could start learning medical transcription. That was 29 years ago. Since then, I have worked in the legal field, insurance, and education. I was so unhappy at what I was doing, so I made the decision to get the training I needed to become a medical transcriptionist. I was lucky enough to be given the information about Career Step through a director of medical records, and after a year and a half, I finished the course and recently graduated with honors. I am now seeking out a job, and when I get hired, I will be a medical transcriptionist. A dream come true! Thank you Career Step for your program and your help. It has been a challenge, but well worth the time and effort. Wish me luck on finding a job. Heidi - Ft Meade, MD I just have to say that Career Step has TRULY changed my life!! You work so hard for a 2- or 4-year college degree and then are left with no on-the-job experience and no employment when you’ve graduated. Yet with Career Step, I was able to complete the course in less than a year, had training that left me fully prepared and equipped, and was contacted by a recruiter a few days after graduating (before I ever sent a single resume in)! I am now happily working from home with unlimited earning potential (paid on production, the more I do the more I earn), nobody standing over my shoulder watching, and a very flexible work schedule. I wish I could scream from the rooftops what a wonderful opportunity this is! Thank you, Career Step!! Inga - Pleasant Grove, UT I’m still on the job hunt, but I feel that Career Step did a wonderful job on preparing me for the MT world. Kristin - Midvale, UT This was a wonderful course for me. At times it was challenging, but with determination I did it, and now I have a new MT job and like it. Laura - San Antonio, TX At the beginning, I was very hesitant about the CS program. I did not think that it was going to be enough training to be a qualified MT. Reading about other graduates finding jobs within a month of graduation just didn’t seem real to me, but after gaining employment 3 weeks after graduation I am just one more testimonial to how great CS is. I really don’t think there is a better program out there and would recommend CS to anyone who is considering being an MT. Lisa - Wentzville, MO I was very nervous to take my final exam. I kept dragging my feet while I was working on the last part of my program because I dreaded taking the final so much. I had read all the stories in the forum about people having to retake the final over and over to get high honors. I finally felt I was somewhat ready and had prepared myself to have to take the final more than 1 time. Imagine my surprise when I found out I had received high honors on my final the first time I took it. I was thrilled and a little apprehensive because now I needed to find a job. Then the day after I got my final results, a company contacted me asking me to apply. Now I work for them! I guess I finished at just the right time. So just keep working at your program, do your best, and you can pass the first time! Marcie - Owensville, MO I am proud to have graduated from Career Step. Melanie - Farmington, UT I completed the Career Step training course in July, graduating with high honors! I received a job offer from Focus Infomatics within 1 week of graduating! Thank you Career Step! Nancy - Monett, MO What a long road I have traveled to get where I am right now. I studied online in 2006 to obtain a real estate license and started working as a realtor in 2007. I enjoyed being a realtor, but I had to take an office job to have more of a steady income. As the market became more difficult, I knew I needed to find something that would be more secure and stable. I heard about Career Step and convinced my daughter that she should take the course. The first month that she was a new student, I kept wondering if medical transcription was the new career I had been looking for, so I decided to enroll. You have to make sure you set-up a regular routine and stick to it. I would get up at 4:00 am and study, and then go to my full-time job, and then come home after work and study some more. Working full-time and taking the Career Step course is pretty intense, but I got through it, and I learned a lot about myself in the process. I recommend taking the final exam as many times as you need to achieve honors or high honors. I found out two weeks ago that my last final exam score was honors. I sent out some resumes and within five days I had a job offer. I decided to take it! I will work part-time to get the experience I need, but my plans are to quit my full-time job and work from home as a medical transcriptionist. Even though I had to put a lot of work and effort into the Career Step course, I know that the credit for how well I am trained goes to Career Step! Nellie - Owasso, OK I found Career Step to be a wonderful experience, especially as a newcomer to learning online. It took me much, much longer than I anticipated to finish the program but I am still hopeful that in the long run, it will be well worth it. I still have certain doubts about the field, which I believe is fairly natural in our economic times and also considering I am a nurse. However, this was a choice based on being able to be at home with my child and that is still a priority. I hope that the future of my current career in medical transcription is bright. I would even like to consider teaching or moving up in some way later on down the road within a company in medical transcription. I certainly think the course is well worth what you pay, and I feel like it is a very supportive, nurturing environment to learn. I always read Stepping Up when I was feeling discouraged. I am happy to report I graduated with high honors and immediately found employment with one of the larger companies. Patricia - Satsuma, AL Career Step’s program was one of the best ideas my husband and I ever had. I am not going to tell you that it is something easy to do; however, Career Step makes it fun and the people that work there are very professional, yet easy to talk to. I am glad that I graduated, but sad to actually be done with the course. Thank you Career Step. Paula - Pine Island, NY I am so happy I have completed this course. It took me two years to do it, but it was a new way of learning for me. Online schooling can be tough because you always seem to find something else to do instead. You have to be dedicated to it and have a schedule. I am looking forward to working in this field in my future and hope it will be my main income someday. As with most things the longer you do it the better you get at it. I am very happy I took this course through Career Step. Robert - Dozier, AL I am very satisfied with the training. However, I would let fellow students know that it is not easy to find work as an entry-level MT. Maybe its the economy, but I graduated in June of 2010 and as of August 3rd still have not found employment in the field. As Alesa says “Hang in there, don’t give up, you’ll get a job soon.” Sara - Payson, UT I am so grateful that I took a leap of faith and signed up for Career Step. The course ended up taking longer than I thought it would, mostly due to having 3 little kids at home to take of, and pregnancy with another, but with the encouragement of my family and new friends found in the forums, 1 1/2 years after I started, I graduated the MT program with honors. Within 2 weeks, I found a flexible part-time job that is perfect. Now I can stay home and take care of my family while adding a little income, which was my goal. I have only the best to say about Career Step. I have been very impressed with the staff and the program itself. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in the medical transcription field. It simply is the best out there. Stephanie - Cape Carteret, NC I believe that Career Step provided me with the knowledge and know-how that I needed to start working in the MT field. I feel I had a lot of experience when stepping out into the real world and applying for jobs. Sue - Petersburg, WV Career Step has given me a new life! I had worked for 30 years in 2 separate jobs that did not give me any sense of self-fulfillment. I live in an area that does not have many job opportunities so I took what was available. I had 2 children, and at that time I was just thinking survival. After losing my most recent job due to the decline in the economy, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career that I would enjoy and one that would be secure. I knew that you could not go wrong with something in the medical field. I had worked for a short time in 1976 as a medical transcriptionist. You can imagine how different this profession was then! I started surfing the Internet in search of a school that trained medical transcriptionists. Voila! What should appear before my eyes but Career Step. This school has been recognized by Inc. magazine, approved by AHDI, and featured on Good Morning America, CNN, and The Wall Street News Hour. I did not need to look any further, and felt that I had made a wise choice applying to Career Step. I want to say “Thank you” to each and every person who works for the school. My gratitude goes far beyond what I gained in learning. I am grateful in knowing that there are still good people in this world who truly care about what happens in your life, even after graduation from the course. Tammy - Cartersville, GA Thank you Career Step for creating a program that gave me a new career and a new found confidence in myself ! Canada and Australia/New Zealand Graduates Anita - Whitby, ON I was elated and surprised when I saw my exam results, as I had second-guessed myself during the period waiting to receive them. I was just happy I had passed first time and did not have to do it all again. Anonymous - Canada, CA Two years of hurdling the course was such a long time for me. Initially, my fervor to complete the medical transcription course was so immense, I was determined to be done in less than a year. However, beyond my control, successive family concerns came into the way that impinged my study pace. I requested for several course extensions and much more frustrating was my final exam failure, I lost my interest, but with the tremendous support of an advisor, I was motivated to pursue and regained my confidence to accomplish my goal to graduate from this course. My heartfelt gratitude for the encouragement and motivation that I gained from the Skills Assessment department goes out especially to Sue Sawyer. She was there to guide me in my review to achieve a passing grade in the final exam with flying colors. My husband was the one who chose CanScribe/Career Step, and I should say I had no regrets for it gave me new learning and discipline of online studying. Although I already have a medical background, the course was a challenge for me, specifically developing the “listening ear” which was a tough skill to conquer. I’m still looking forward for my practicum, as I believe that this will offer me additional knowledge of the course and improve more my transcription skills in preparation for a promising medical transcription job hopefully soon. Thank you Career Step/CanScribe for the outstanding training you’ve shared with me! Christine - Milverton, ON There is a lot I could say about my experience in this course, but I will try to keep it short! At the end of it all, I learned how important my attitude was to my success. Early on, I realized it was much more difficult to keep at it and make the time necessary to meet the goals that I had set than I initially thought. I wish that I would have actually talked to someone in person about this early in the course and asked for more specific tips on how to stick with it. Some modules I really loved and others weren’t as fun. Grammar was tricky, trying to keep all the parts of speech straight in my head. I had some personal obstacles to overcome and a young family to take care of during it all. It wasn’t always easy but it wasn’t promised to be either. And the weeks that I had a positive, upbeat attitude turned out much better than the weeks that I was a Grumpy Gus. Believing in myself and my abilities was the number one key to my success, to achieving high honours on the final exam, to landing a mentorship, and then a job with OzeScribe only a few weeks after passing my final. This course gave me all of the tools I needed, gave me lots and lots of practice, and enabled me to have the confidence that I was prepared for the final and for the working world. I also cannot say enough good things about the student forum. I wish I had used the forum way more than I did, as it was only near the end of the course that I realized just how incredible this resource is. Every student should make the time to access it on a regular basis. Participating in the forum really gave me a sense of community as well, knowing that there were so many other students going through the same ups and downs as I was. At the end of it all, I learned so much, about myself and about being a medical transcriptionist. It is a wonderful, informative course and I would be happy to share more about my journey and my experiences as a new MT in the future! Deborah - Wallaceburg, ON I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I loved being able to work independently at home and online curriculum made it very easy to do this. I’m looking forward to working as an MT!!! Debra - Seagrave, ON I thoroughly enjoyed the past 52 weeks learning something completely new and challenging. I do feel well equipped to work as a medical transcriptionist having had dictators with a wide range of accents, pronunciation, diction, and style. This was a steep learning curve for me as I was unfamiliar with the medical specialties and medical terminology. However, over time, it all became second nature to me, and I was able to fine-tune my research skills while completing dictations. As a graduate, I feel confident in the knowledge that I am a qualified medical transcriptionist, and I can comfortably make the transition from practical training experience to a new and viable career. This course gives me the opportunity to work from home, which is especially good during the winter months here in Canada. Jenny - Hepburn, SK I was very pleased with this course. Being a stay-at-home mom, it felt good to do some “brain work.” It gave me a sense of self-worth in that I was learning a new skill that would be beneficial to my family’s financial picture. Joan - Maple Ridge, BC After being a retired RN for several years, I decided to return to the workforce. I didn’t want to return to nursing, but wanted to do something that involved medicine. Way back in the day, when I decided to become a nurse, my school was also offering an MT course. I was very tempted at the time to take the MT course because it really appealed to me, but I decided on nursing instead. I don’t regret my decision, because my nursing background really helped me throughout the course. I spent many months researching MT training programs and finally decided on CanScribe because it seemed to offer the best training. I am so glad I made that choice! The training was very challenging and required a lot of hard work. It took me almost a full year to complete it, and I graduated with high honors in July! I am doing a practicum with CanScribe at the present time, and I feel totally prepared in my new career as a medical transcriptionist. Karin - Petawawa, ON Great course. I feel ready to hit the transcription world head-on. Kim - Kamloops, BC Career Step and CanScribe - We did it! You gave me 1 year to accomplish a goal, become a medical transcriptionist, strengthen my brain, and with that, I took the challenge and ran with it. Now, I feel so very proud of myself and cannot stop talking about my experience to anyone who will listen. The course was fun yet serious, challenging yet not mind-numbing, online yet not in a way you ever felt alone. I have graduated, am currently finishing my practicum and cannot wait to join the workforce! I excited for the opportunity to be able to work from home and watch my babies grow up. My family and I thank you! Makala - Sooke, BC Taking on a course of this magnitude via distance learning can be intimidating, but the Career Step program is well thought out and provides a smooth transition into each module. I loved the program and look forward to my new career as a medical transcriptionist. Maria - Oakville, ON The MT course helped me open up opportunities in the medical and health industry. I have a stronger medical background to complement the bachelor’s degree in science course that I took up in the university. Marie - Selkirk, MB Overall, I really enjoyed taking the course even though it was a tremendous amount of work while continuing to work full time. I only wish I could have had the time to enjoy and fully participate in the online forums and chats, although I did print all of those for which a link was provided. These I was able to read when I could find a minute here and there! I look forward to completing my practicum and starting my career as an MT! Melissa - Oshawa, ON This course was very informative and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to enter the medical transcription work force. Pam - Kelowna, BC When I first started the course I was little bit worried because it has been a while since I was in school. Sometimes just helping my kids with their homework was a challenge, but once I got started it wasn’t that bad. The staff was always positive and helpful when I needed them. There were a few times during the course that I would feel like I am never going to be able to do this, and somehow, on those days someone from Career Step would call me and ask how things were going. I don’t know how they knew, but they did, and after talking to them it always seemed do-able. On those days when I felt like giving up, the staff always stayed positive and encouraging. Patricia - Vancouver, BC Stay on schedule, don’t hesitate to ask questions, and work on developing your listening “ear” and research skills. I found reviewing and transcribing the reports (listed on the forum) in preparation for the final very helpful. Also, I would recommend ordering the text companion to the program. I didn’t (due to a lack of funds at the time) but in retrospect, I really wish I had. It would have been very useful to have during those times I wasn’t at the computer but wanted to study the material. Patti - Nanaimo, BC Overall an excellent course! The staff at CanScribe is courteous, helpful, and available. Roxanna - Grandora, SK The Career Step program is definitely the one that I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of entering the medical transcription industry. It was, for sure, the best that I found. We are so proud of all the Career Step graduates and want to hear about your success! Please keep in touch and share your experiences with us. Your story might be what inspires other Career Step students to tackle and complete the program. E-mail: [email protected].
