I am a psychiatric nurse for 38+ years. I had the opportunity to take care of my mother with Alzheimer’s and work for a Psychiatrist out of my home. Since there are many phoning calls during the day. I have to document what the conversation was about, the Dr. orders, and the response of the patient. I use an old Dragon program and after dictating I find many mistakes that have to be corrected. The time it should take to do my job does take longer due to this continuous checking of my documentation. This takes away the time I should be spending time talking with my patients. My mother has since passed away and I am trying to catch up on my documentation but I continue to train my voice but I still have problems with the correction issues. I am told with the new dragon I would not have to spend time retraining my voice. Your product has many improvements, however; my son had cancer and is now cancer free but did not have insurance. The expenses involved in paying for his treatment has left me short of money. It seems that I never get caught up. I had the opportunity to purchase the needed upgrade for Dragon but I have no money to purchase the upgrade. It would be wonderful to wake up in the am and not have to worry about all the documentation that I need to complete. I still continue to train my voice but it is becoming to time consuming to train, check and recheck my work. My goal is less time typing and more productive time spent with my patients. I also have arthritis so typing is very difficult. This makes me fall even further behind when my hands are aching.
I could use the help with your offer and upgrade. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to enter this story.
