Maybe that big new hospital won't kick in until later this morning or even afternoon. (sm)
Didn't they say it was consults coming on today?
I know they just got a large hospital account near me.

Is this a large hospital with MANY Hispanic
dictators, probably over 75%? I heard they only had 1 account on DQS, a new one they picked up in August. I am working on that account and would love to switch.
And what large hospital did they lose? (nm)
.
I agree with webmedxr, not an overly large amount of ESLs. Another Webmedxr

Had someone tell me they do a teaching hospital with them, if you like large accts. Might want to

Lost job to outsourcing through a large hospital
Just found out my job is over at the end of August.  Have worked for MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, ND, for 2 years and they decided to outsource everything.  Any great ideas for me?
On accounts they are losing, one isn't a large hospital in LA? (sm
I figured if they ever lost this one we would be notified in advance. (or at least hoped) This one they got when they bought YOG out, large, large facility. E-mail if you wish.
I worked on a large teaching hospital account and was
frequently out of work.  KS didn't have the entire account.  I don't know if they had in-house MTs or they used more than one company.  You should have a backup account too, though there may be some  lag time between getting you a backup as they figure out where they can plug you in.   They supposedly are getting several new accounts so surely they should be plenty of work. 
Today is the last day for a large hospital on the East Coast.
No doubt about it.
I was paid by the hour to work from home for a large hospital. nm

Losing 1 large hospital today. Not rumor, fact.
It is on the Eastern Seaboard and low ESL.
They own them cannot dump them.

Dump the Nazis.
Too many authoritarian QA tyrants have decided on their own that language is a science. It is not. Some may be on power trips while others may use meaningless punctuation corrections to justify their existence.

Obviously there are a few hard and fast rules for punctuation such as a period at the end of a sentence and a comma separating items in a list but it doesn't go much farther than that.

In general a comma represents a PAUSE in the narrative. I've seen way too many complete thoughts interrupted by pauses that only serve to slow down the reading of the text for no reason other than some QA Nazi has decided that a comma must always precede the word but or although or some other such nonsense.

My rule: Punctuate if necessary but otherwise don't waste the reader's time with excessive pauses or other trivia.
yeah..where they dump all those old IBM SelectricS!!!hahaha--nm

I have an interview this afternoon. Can I ask you a couple ?? (SM)
Why were you trained on 6 different accounts?  Was it because of a low work situation on the other accounts?  How soon do they plan on moving everything to ASR?  Are we talking before the end of the year?  Sorry I know this is more than a couple questions -- just one more.  Regarding the 30% pay cut, is this something they have come right out and told their MTs to expect?  TIA
I just ran out of work this afternoon. So much for holiday buildup. nm

I was hired by them last week, start this afternoon...
Feel free to email me
my work loads anywhere from the morning to late afternoon...
but I have until sunday until midnight to get it done, so it is not like you are working the entire weekend...depends how fast and motivated you are--LOL
I just quit Medquist, hired by Etrans and quit them after one afternoon during the last two weeks!sm
Medquist made me buy a new computer to go to the "Docuscribe" system that was so much better than cottage.  When I got there I took a real big pay cut to the tune of probably 30 to 40%.  I was getting paid gross lines doing Cedars-Sinai operative reports.  I asked for more per line and my supervisor just laughed and said you think were going to pay you $0.12 a line to just do operative reports!  I said I quit.  I should have said F you and your mamma too:(  I had been there all together 7 years through buyouts.  I am just sick of it all.  I'm going to go sew my daughter a cute little Halloween outfit right now. 
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital

Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

Pay due Friday, still ???
I do not want to post the name of this particular company but has been on this board several times. You do your days and times and then nothing. I have bills to pay and wish the companies could get our money to us just like we are there to type their reports.
every other Friday

Every other Friday
I've been with Focus almost 2 years and the pay periods have always ended every other Friday during these 2 years.
They pay every other Friday. How hard is that
duh!
They finally did pay me Friday
Well I finally did get all my pay, minus the western union fees. But what it took me to get it was almost not worth it.
it's friday free-for-all! Hoo-ha! nm

I sent my resume on a Friday, sm
took the test over the weekend and was hired on Monday.
Monday-Friday
I wish that people who get into this profession would understand that hospitals operate 24/7/365. My daughter is a registered nurse and does not demand a m-F schedule and YES she does have children. You got into this profession because of having kids at home and wanting to be a stay at home mommy. Well, 30 years of experience under my belt and most of the companies that I have spoken with allow me to work the hours that I want to work because of the fact that in general, I put in 12 hour days and even work weekends and dont take a day off unless I need to, due to illness or whatever and also, due to the fact that if I do have an emergency, I let someone know in advance and just not refuse to work
My Goodness! You'd think it was Friday--sm
today what with every body biting each other's heads off and getting all *snarky* over things that don't really matter. Get a grip you all, have a cold one, and mellow out! geez. some of Y'all are just LOOKIN' for an argument and if you can't get one going, you'll start one! sick *o this stuff. I think most of the people in this thread need a good long ol* fashioned *time out* in the corner!
I got mine on Friday before I started on (sm)
Monday. Had plenty of time to get it set up and get a KMV switch.
Be nice, people - it's Friday

Same here..I've been trying since early Friday..(sm)
I'll call Monday if I can't get in by then. It's never been down this long before.
I had Vonage Friday of last week and
I work for MDI and use Charter. I don't know if my problem was with the cable or with Vonage, but I would be at the end of a job and the Vonage phone would just cut out...sometimes staying connected, just not operational for a little bit (30-60 seconds), or worse, it would just cut off and I lost the job. The job got stuck in never-never land and I could not get it back to finish transcribing it. One job cost me almost 100 lines. So, on Tuesday I got Charter's ULD...the independent sales rep gave it to me for $15/month.
Thanks - I sent my test back Friday
so hopefully I'll hear back by the end of next week. I'm really interested in doing clinic notes so I hoping I did well enough.
P.S. He briefly told me on Friday

He specializes in this field and knows the laws of companies versus IC status.  He is a long time friend of the family so it won't cost me much and well worth every penny of whatever I do have to pay. 


Monday-Friday, First Shift?
Does anyone know of companies that have accounts with Monday to Friday, first shift positions? Personal obligations do not allow me to work weekends or evenings and so many companies want this. If I could do it I would, but it is not possible, and they all seem to want weekends and second or third shifts. I really need to find something. Any help greatly appreciated.
I am hoping for Friday but it could be Monday. sm
The pay period just ended yesterday. With over 400 employees it might be difficult to get it all done by Friday but I sure am crossing my fingers!
Made decision; Friday last day
Whew! Glad that's over! :)

Thanks folks.
Out of work 15 times Friday
Has happened all week long.  Think I got a total of 4 hours yesterday.  My STM said we were down 750 dictation minutes for some reason this week.  She had no idea why.  I have 8 different accounts I pull from. 
direct deposit every 2 weeks, on Friday,

my check was there on Friday, it usually is on Thursday which is early

Do you mean in addition to your reg Friday work? When do they give it to you?
nm
Pay due Monday, I get by direct deposit on Friday. sm
Partly company, where most get on Saturday via direct deposit.  I just happen to have a very friendly bank who posts the minute the get it and 1 a.m. on Friday.  So sorry.  We all need to get our pay on time. 
They were pretty fast with my DD. Mine comes in on friday w/ DD
:)
Mine is always there on Friday, but Monday is payday.

Umm, I am paid every other Friday, on time. Work

Mine has been in the bank midnight Friday and
I have promised to pay some bills Saturday morning! I sure hope that I don't get into trouble over this. I know they say we don't get paid til Monday, but if the money has always been there before, why should we assume different! I will be in some real trouble if the money is not in the bank midnight tonight. The bills don't wait til the weekend is over the money is due now. Why would they not communicate a problem with us? Before I have a fit, I am going to assume it will be there. Why assume the worst if they did not say anything right? (she asks nervously).
