Make Money as a Work at Home Mom with Medical Transcription

If you are one of the millions of working moms outside of the home and want to work at home, you easily can.

As a mother, you may take an online course for medical transcription or you may take the classes at a local technical college. The medical transcription program is only one year long. This is very beneficial to any mother, as the classes to get your degree do not take very long. The classes you will need to take to become a medical transcriptionist include:

Medical Terminology
Advanced Medical Terminology
Body & Disease
Human Anatomy
Medical Transcription I and II
Law & Ethics
Pharmacology
The latest computer program to type your reports for two semesters
Psychology
Communications

You may try to test out of any of the classes if you already have knowledge in one or more of them. If you have never taken any of these classes, as long as you study, you will do fine.

Once you achieve your degree as a medical transcriptionist, you can search online for a job. At this time, most jobs pay .10 cents per line. This may not sound like a lot of money, but the faster you are at typing, the more you will make. The money can add up fast especially if you use a lot of macros and set up template pages for each of the physician's you type for. Each physician may have a different page layout he or she uses. You will learn how to do both of these items at technical college or online college.

To work from home, you will need a high-speed Internet connection with a computer and a foot pedal. You will send your reports directly over to the company or doctor's office you are working for so you will not need to print each report out. A foot pedal will be extremely helpful in letting you rewind, fast forward and stop what the physician is dictating to you.

By not having to pay for gas each week or wear and tear on your vehicle you will save money. You will be able to spend more time with your family when you are one of the many working moms at home.
