Superior Global foot pedal problems -
Posted By: mtmt
Has anyone had problems with getting the foot pedal to work? I have an Infinity USB which was for one account, but then before I got started I was switched to an account that needed a 9 pin foot pedal. I have a 9 pin but for some reason it's not working with their program and no one can figure out why. Has anyone else this kind of problem?

line count - formula??? -
Posted By: NE-MT
Starting a new account that handles line count differently. What is the formula used to figure a 65-character line count with spaces? I realize that there is some difference than the actual characters per document if you divide it by 65-character line. Any specific formula? Any help is appreciated.

Posted By: JoanneNY
Ive been an MT for 13 years. I was an IC for 10 years, and a FTE for a local hospital for the last 3 years. I came back from vacation in June to discover my lovely boss was interviewing companies to outsource the MT department. He lied to us - told us not to worry - and then a month later our union received the '60 day notice' letter and we were out on our assess. I took a job as a unit secretary - and a $5 an HOUR paycut along with it, working 3-11 and alternate weekends. Am I crazy to do this. Well yes and no. I now have unlimited O/T, I'm keeping my awesome union benefits, building toward being vested in 2 more years, and just landed an IC MT job doing guess what: MY OLD JOB. The company that outsourced us hired me. I plan to rake in the bucks in the AM and do the b.s. job at night. 3-11 is half the work as a day job - plus you get the shift differential. Wish me luck !

webmedx -
Posted By: Doris
Does anyone know about webmedx? I tested for a QA position but they said I was 7/10 off their accuracy requirement, but then told me that someone within the company wanted the position. Then I accepted an MT job and it has taken three weeks to set up training and when I sat here waiting, no one called??? The recruiter called to take back his offer of employment as he said I was never available?? I'm so confused. Then he called me back to apologize to me and now they didn't call again when they said they would..........

Are there any good companies that hire part time? -
Posted By: MTinTX
I have two years of acute care experience, and I need a part-time job to supplement my current income. If everything works out, I will need to go to full time in March. At this time, I can only work Friday and Saturday nights.
I have been applying to several companies, but they keep giving me the run around. One company even told me I did very well on their test and that I was put in a pool of transcriptionists to be contacted. The recruiter called me once, and I missed her call. I called her back and left a message, but I have not heard anything else from her.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

RBJ story on EXECUSCRIBE -
Posted By: OldBroad
Anybody read the Rochester (NY) Business Journal from 7/22 story on Execuscribe???
Interesting story from court records on company's history of fraud convictions. She SHOULD be "giving back to community" as she squeaked by jail time and/or community service on a technicality.
Thanks for making it that much tougher for the rest of us !
Just my opinion.

Back in the job hunt -
Posted By: JobHuntingAgainMT
I've noticed from the rather slim postings in the job seeker's board that signing bonuses seem to be a thing of the past (although I wish retention bonuses had caught on!). But do any places still pay referral bonuses? Anybody looking to split their referral bonus with somebody with 27 years of multispecialty experience in the Big-4, clinic, and radiology? I've not done any VR yet, but am willing to learn.

KS sm -
Posted By: USA MT
As expected all KS posts were deleted by Administrator. These posts were just honest opinions and experiences by MTs regarding KS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we still living in the United States of America? This site takes a firm stand regarding work being sent overseas. What about freedom of speech???
Why do my posts keep getting deleted? -
Posted By: Cindi
If you are going to delete them, could you at least let me know? I truly don't understand why you are deleting them. I asked a simple question about what companies pay on a weekly basis. Is there something wrong with that? I assume thye were not moved because I can't find it anywhere and I posted it twice. How about an explanation or something?
