People are usually pretty darned interested when I bring it up.

They are probably only given the results
to discuss. You would need to contact your supervisor for clarification.
They will when a lawsuit results from it and
In their wallets. Publicize the name of the hospital SOMEHOW, because I personally would NEVER go to be treated in an institution run by those kinds of physicians.
Exactly! And I did request results...
of my testing or a more definitive answer and received no reply. I learn new things every day--sometimes things that I have been doing incorrectly. If it was, indeed, a timed test...I was screwed because I checked EVERYTHING. I have even submitted a copy of what I typed (Yes, I copied and pasted to a Word document) to my current supervisor and asked her to point out my errors. She found none and I feel better:)
I had the same results. I even did a search for the
entire state of Florida and absolutely nothing returned.  To me it is very concerning that they do not list a website or a phone number. 
Waiting for test results...
Their base pay for ER work was 8 cents plus 1/2 cents for 2nd shift I think, 1 cents for weekends, something like that.  I know I was banking on 8-1/2 for ER work.
Never notified about test results
It took forever to get the testing materials through the mail, and the instructions that came with it had several typo's! Never received test results. When I asked via email about the test, they said that person had been out of town and would get with me in a few days - that was in January. Needless to say I'm not terribly impressed...
I am pretty sure that they will send the test results
to you if you ask.  I had one stop me at the second section of a test.  When I asked what I did wrong, they were more than happy to send me a copy of it.  The proof for me was in seeing what happened......
Before I apply, I have a few questions. I have better results asking here than the companies. sm
I do know to take it all with a grain of salt. Here are my questions:

Do they send work offshore?
IC or employee?
Line rate range for radiology?
Is there a lot of work.

Only one rad account worries me, especially as I heard that they are competing for this account with a large company. I cannot find out who that company is though, only that they are large. The person I know at the hospital that I asked did not have any name except QT, but she said that the other company is very strong and may end up with it.

This is so unsettling. I am totally confused and just wish things would stay the same :) Sigh.
No, you're in the year 2008, where the results of
most kids being raised in daycare with 2 parents working 24/7 are showing. Kids are a mess and the American family is a total mess, divorce rates 50%, our country going down the tubes, and YES a lot of it has to do with kids being left on their own while mommy works and goes to school, etc.  I don't know the answer, but for sure the results being disastrous are evident all around you. I stayed home with mine and am more than pleased with the results.  Just because children survive and grow into adults does not mean that they are healthy and happy adults. 
Very disturbing research results on Transcend
It seems Transcend is very busy acquiring MTSOs and not bashful about their future goals. Please read what I copied from a recent article when they acquired TRS(March 2009). Between VR and offshoring, I truly do not see how much work will be left.

“We are excited to welcome TRS to the Transcend team,” stated Transcend CEO Larry Gerdes. “We
believe their commitment to their customers and employees makes them an excellent fit for Transcend.
TRS has taken a leadership role in our industry through its involvement with industry associations like the
Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and the Medical Transcription Industry
Association (MTIA). We look forward to continuing to play an important industry role with their
involvement. TRS provides services on several different platforms. We believe that over the next year,
35% - 50% of the business can be migrated to our BeyondTXT platform, which allows us to leverage our
speech recognition technology to improve productivity, enhance quality and drive faster turnaround times.
We look forward to working together as we integrate our operations over the next several months.”
“We believe our merger with Transcend is a positive step into the future for our customers and
employees,” stated TRS CEO Bob Harvey. “Transcend has an un-paralleled reputation for excellent
service. This gives our customers confidence that our teams will now be supported by the additional
resources of the top-ranked firm in the industry. For the sake of our employees, it was important to me to
merge with a company that has a strong commitment to providing the best work environment in the
medical transcription field, and I know we have found that in Transcend. ”
“Transcend is very interested in the work TRS is doing with overseas transcription training in places like
Barbados,” stated Transcend COO Sue McGrogan. “Although their training institute is not part of this
transaction, Transcend sees real opportunity to use this resource and others to continue to grow our
offshore capacity. Transcend is committed to remaining a predominately domestic transcription provider,
but we will continue to expand our offshore resources as well. We expect that the percentage of work
processed offshore could increase from about 20% today to perhaps 35%-40% in the future. This helps us
staff nights and weekends and gives us added flexibility as we grow. We would never replace a domestic
transcriptionist in the process. In fact, we plan to continue expanding our domestic workforce for years to
come. We hope that TRS Institute can become an offshore partner in the near future.”

Along the same lines, has anyone ever left TH and gone back with good results?
