Transition




A week ago I submitted my first attempt at the Career Step final. Hopefully, my only attempt. After beginning Career Step's Medical Transcription online course June 8, 2009, I was more than just a little bit eager to bring this endeavor to an end!


The final consists of an objection portion of typical mutiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and matching questions. It was pretty easy. The practicum portion consisted of 8 geniune dictations of approximately 15 minutes that I had to transcribe. I had 48 hours to complete the final. We strive for perfection. I went over and over these files. I listened over and over trying very hard to make sure I wasn't missing even the articles (a, an, the)!


The finals at CS are hand-graded, therefore it takes 2 weeks to get your results. I should know how I did by March 24th!
Can't wait.


Meanwhile, I'm in transition. Waiting. Playing a lot of Farmville!
