<p>Agree with Rhonda and Cathryn both. I'm keeping all mine. Let them lapse twice b/c I thought I wouldn't need them. Not taking those tests again. :)</p>

<p>Those are the reasons I keep my RPR. Also I don't test well, so I never want to have to retake the RPR or CSR. </p>

<p>Good luck with the move and selling your house.</p>

<p>One reason that I've always kept up my membership is the same as you, don't want to give up those hard-earned initials which are the ticket to advanced certifications. The second reason I've done it is that in a lot of the states, the RPR or the RPR plus notary are the required certification. Life is long and strange. While the future may seem predictable, you never really know what it will bring, so be as ready as you can for whatever. Bet you know why I'm really pleased now that I kept…</p>

<p>For those who don't know, in September, Ted (husband) was made a job offer he couldn't refuse. It happens to be on the other side of the country in an area where the requirement is indeed RPR plus notary. He's there now. I am in the process of putting our house in California on the market. The cats and I will tentatively join him around the first weekend in January. Never imagined I'd live anywhere but California! Life really is long and strange, and NCRA certifications are one nice buffer for the unexpected.</p> I did not register for the No…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2011-11-01:1736041:Comment:12030582011-11-01T21:51:01.495ZMary Jo Cochranhttp://csrnation.ning.com/profile/MaryJoCochran
<p>I did not register for the November test. I want to pass all three at one time - sit down, write, edit, and get out. My editing should be very minimal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got one real depo offer, which got canceled. At this point I think I need to pass the RPR (which I did back in 1981) to get any real work. </p>

Good luck on getting your certs. I am presently the test proctor for Tampa. I don't think your name is on my roster for this Saturday's test. Perhaps you will sign up for the May test and I will get a chance to meet you! Are you totally freelancing or working for a firm?

I don't know how that practice ever got started, but I'd like to slap the person responsible. Them not ordering and then waiting until the last minute does get us a lot of expedites, though. LOL

<p>Florida is not as bad as it used to be. Schools finally got regulated. Court reporters were opening their own schools and pumping them out (and charging LOTS of money for their program - student loans). That got regulated.</p>

<p>As for realtime, I am doing realtime - in sorts. I write connected to my laptop. I can't get realtime certification until I pass the RPR (which I did back in 1981 and let go).</p>

<p>Rhonda,</p>
<p>I'm in the Kansas City area. </p>
<p>Almost every time I work for a Florida attorney who comes here to take a depo, they don't want it typed up for a year. Why is that? Here in KC we type almost everything. I have approximately one job per year that doesn't get typed and that's usually b/c they settle. I'm curious as to why they don't have much typed up in Florida.</p>

Couldn't pay me to give up my certs. No, I don't get money by having them, but I have a sense of pride in having those initials behind my name. I worked hard for those, and I'm not giving them up. And even though I get no more per page than someone who doesn't have certs, I do feel I have the opportunity most times to get better work. My main firm, the owner is big on certs, and he won't even hire anyone without the RPR. We have many RMRs and CRRs at my firm. I fully believe that had I…

<p>Mary Jo, are you doing realtime?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>By the way, I'm in Tampa, too. But I'm slowly working on moving to the DC/Baltimore area.</p>
