Hey. Glad I ran into this post. My girlfriend likes paperwork, has been working as a nurse for four years, and is looking for a change for at least a bit. Can you tell me where your girlfriend got her transcription certification and how long it took?

She got her certification from http://www.careerstep.com/medical-transcription-editing

It's between a 4 month and 1 year course, depending on how much time you spend training. She finished it in about three months by working on it all the time.

Most community colleges with any sort of health programs (which are most) offer medical transcription programs. They're usually only a semester or two long and typically are very affordable. That said you may be able to find faster private/for profit certification programs.
