Transcribing from home

My name is Djuana and I have an Associates Degree in Medical Transcription. I have worked at a small hospital in New Mexico for the last 4 years and currently they outsourced my position, so I decided to try getting a position at home, but I am not having very good luck. Any suggestions as to what steps I need to take to make this work.

I am also having issues with finding any part time to full time work in the medical transcriptionist field. I just graduated from Penn Foster in May 2009 and have been trying really hard to find some work.

I have been out of school from PennFoster.edu and I cannot get a part time job with Medical Transcriptionist. I am having issues with placements since May 2009 and still no luck. I have tried all the hospitals in the area in any administration area and still no luck. I need help too!

Is Peen foster a good university to obtain a Degree in Medical Transcription? I have searching for days and I can't find any reviews about PennForster.com? Please, let me know your opinion. Thanks
