Well, it depends, in part, upon where your application went. sm

If it went to a recruiter, they often seem to work 24/7 (LOL). But if it went to a corporate office somewhere, then I'd not expect immediate action if submitted on a weekend. Some folks would be pushier than I tend to be, though. However, I don't think giving them a couple of days is unreasonable. :-)

depends on part of country - I will take pay cut. sm
I'm an MT x10 years, great for growing family. Now that kids are in school going back for BSN (R.N. plus bachelors combined). Husband thinks I'm crazy. I make $55,000+ as an MT because of production + incentive. I transcribe 300+ lph and have an excellent line rate with a national.
I'm in the midwest, so as a BSN who does not get paid more than RNs here, I will take a huge pay cut, to the order of about $15,000 a year less. Why am I doing it, because I want to be a nurse practitioner or a P.A. eventually and want to love what I do - that will be more money in the long run too with the higher degree. I like being an MT, but working from home has turned me into a fat, lazy person who does nothing but type because it's easy money for me since I know the lingo and am well educated, plus I can type fast.
If you want to be a nurse, as another poster said - don't do it for the money, do it because you feel in your heart it is what you are meant to do because it is a very, very demanding job that requires a great deal of knowledge and skill.
Depends in big part on what you need per month to
x
It depends on what part of the country you live; here in the Northeast sm
it is $18-$23 per hour.
Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
They are a little more flexible if you are part-time. Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off. They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer. If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up. They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way. It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.

Axlotl application. sm
About a month or so ago, I applied to Axlotl, after seeing their ad on a site. Have heard nothing back so far. Has anyone else had this happen with them? I'd like to try again with them, if they will respond. Thanks.
APPLICATION SCAM?
This is the scenario--Company advertises what sounds like a really nice position. Resume is submitted. Information and test is received with message to urgently return it, for the first one who passes the test will be hired. Some time passes, so applicant decides to not continue with test, as someone probably already passed and was hired. Recruiter is notified that applicant will not continue. Then, recruiter contacts applicant to encourage her to complete the test anyway, because no real decisions will be made for a couple of days!!
Question: Does this sound like one of those recruitment situations where the recruiter is using applicants as workers, to get some reports done?
I filled out an application
I filled out the application and sent in my resume. I was called for an interview and then asked to test, and I had the 2nd interview today and was hired. I am so excited!
SPI's new scheduling application
Are there any current SPI MTs who are willing to share their thoughts on the new scheduling application?
scheduling application
I find the application slow and clumsy. No way can you sign out if you leave your computer every 5 mins... it really is the last straw. Word has it they're going to dump us anyway and pull out of onshore accounts altogether.
thanks, I did the online application for TT
hope to hear from them soon.
Application Help Needed
I completed an on-line application and test for TransTech two weeks ago. After a week had passed with no response from TT, I called and the recruiter said they couldn't locate my application or test but that they would call back. After not hearing from them for a couple of days, I started calling at least every other day until two days ago. At that time, I called again, and the receptionist talked to the recruiter while I was still on the line and said they had found my app. and test and would call back within the hour. However, I have yet to receive a return call. I'm certified and have 26 years of acute care experience and feel I did well on the test, but maybe the competition is stiff and I should take this as a rejection and move on. Has anybody else experienced similar circumstances applying to TT? Suggestions as to how I can get a response one way or the other would be greatly appreciated!
If you put in an application at Wal-Mart does it not ask for your SS#? sm
If you did not feel comfortable giving that info until hired, all you simply had to do was leave it blank. I am sure they would not have tossed your application due to that.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
TransTech - application process
Can any experienced Transtech employees fill me in on the process of getting a job with TransTech? Did you need to follow up your application with an email, or is that too pestering? If they contacted you, how long did it take after you applied? Any other things you could fill me in on would be appreciated. I would really like to have some contact with this company.
Thanks!
Sure would be nice if they would respond to my application
wonder how long it takes
I was PAST the application stage.
I wanted to know if DRC was now OWNED by Acusis..that's it...jeesh
Personally, I don't want to work under an Indian company. Been there, done that. Thanks for the info.
Application process/testing
I am starting to think that all of this application and testing is a waste of my time! You spend hours at your desk and seem to get nowhere and not even get hired!
Tips on the application process
Good morning! Never give any information not asked for. If they don't ask if you have books, don't tell them. There are so many ways of researching on-line until you get the books that you would have been fine. Never, never say what you won't do until you actually talk to the recruiter after testing and they see you are going to be a quality employee. Then when you're specifically asked about scheduling during your job offer, say you'd prefer not to work Sundays. During the application process, when they ask if you are willing to work weekends, I always put yes, but for me this means Saturday. During my job interview/offer, that's when I let them know I prefer Sundays off. Maybe this will help for next time, along with prayer. (Oh please Father, I want this job, please, please, please). lol
I've worked for 3 different companies in the last 12 years and have always received replies to a job opening. The next time you apply, send a followup email the next day on the status of your application. I did this the very next day with all three companies. That is not being pushy...it's just letting them know you seriously want this job and are excited to know your status. Good luck, Dreamer! :)
MQ application form after interview
Needing a new job, I applied, tested and interviewed with MQ. At the end of the interview, I was told there was one last thing I needed to do, which was to fill out another form. An application similar to the screening application I had completed when I applied initially as I understand. Well, I can't find it. I've also called them twice about it and they said I had been sent an email about it with the link. But, I have received no email about this and do not know where to find this form to complete. I was hoping someone here would know. If you do, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
has anyone used the Keystrone online application?
I tried submitting it but it only brings me to a blank browser page.
Med-Scribe Application Test
Has anyone recently applied with Med-Scribe and taken their application test? I didn't think the test was difficult but I was told I did not pass it. I was wondering if anyone else has the same. results.
I started the application process, but when they
asked for my social security number on the application, I decided not to pursue it. I don't want to give my SS# unless I'm hired.
I think sending your resume is the only application
There's nothing else to fill out, just send your resume.
I had a very bad experience through the application process.
Went through all testing, passed, had phone interveiw, the told me the liked what they saw, spent over an hour on the phone with the girl, and then she said she would send computer specification info and schedule form, filled out the schedule and sent it back, and went to buy the computer....
Never heard from them again. Called, only got voice mail, sent several e-mails over the course of 2 weeks, then I took another job (thanks Encompass... I like my new job), and about 2 months later, I heard back from them saying that they just got my e-mails... HUH?
GOOD LUCK...
I just submitted an application to them. Can you give details? nm

Ex-Spheris MT, HITS is a windows-based application...
you will type in. It is very, very user friendly. Frankly, it is the only aspect I miss about working for Healthscribe/Spheris. Good luck!!
Not basing that criteria on a job application...Good grief! nm

Whether you apply on line or by written application, they have it covered
They have always had a disclaimer at the end of any paper Employment Application you fill out and sign, but now they also have them if you apply on line. They cover it nicely by saying I authorize investigation. That pretty much lets them do anything they want and without a written signature.
Applicant Disclaimer |
(Please read before submitting)
I hereby certify that the answers given herein are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I authorize investigation of all statements contained in this application for employment as may be necessary in arriving at an employment decision. |
I have tons of experience and I sent a resume to them and I filled out the application, took the
test, did fine, got a huge questionnaire to fill out that took about 1/2 hour or more then got a call and they wanted me to take an oral test and do another editing test. I thought what is this. This all took hours of my time. I do think you have to clock in and out like at MQ and I am not interested in the least in doing that again. Been there and done that.
You are lost and the WRONG site filling out an application for who knows what???nm

OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure
nm
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
From what I understand, the part-time positions will be only be for those that are already part-time
It is not a restructuring of the company, just of some of the existing part-time positions.
I know that there are a few employees who have been with Keystrokes for many, many years who are part-time and they will not displaced.
Other than that, there have been many discussions why there will not be any new part-time employees hired, and I really don't think they will back down on that.
Well, it depends on what you need and are looking for - sm
do you want employee status, need benefits, need equipment supplied by company or do you want IC status, your own schedule, no benefits, and a good line rate?
There are many good companies out there, and even Transcend is a good company in some MTs eyes.
What are you looking for?
4.65 to 5.10 cpl. Depends on whether you
get 55% or 60% of your base salary. You will starve to death only doing 1100 lines a day. That would be $51.15 to $56.10 a day,.
Depends.
I've talked with MTs who have said that MQ dumped them immediately upon giving notice, and they're anxious about getting on somewhere else immediately. I've talked to others who have had MQ offer them the moon and all nearby planets, with interest, to stay. I'm not talking 2 or 3 people here, but dozens. I'm not sure what the motivating factor is behind their decisions, because some of the best MTs I've seen have been ousted immediately. Go figure. Might depend on your office and the work load.
Depends
one person will tell you one thing, the next person will tell you another. I think the company I work for is THE best but then you might not agree. You kinda just have to find what works for YOU and you won't really know that until you try it.
Depends on what day it is.
I use a lot of "normals" and shortcuts. I make at least $20 per hour, that is on a regular day. I have made as much as $65 an hour. I get $15 an hour for PTO.
Well, depends
My requirement used to be 4000 lines (Foxboro office). Now I am at Columbus office and requirement is 4000+ lines, but also must work 20 hours a week, so that would put me at over 10000 lines a payperiod.
also depends
it also depends on the accounts, most of the accounts for one small MTSO do not have paragraphs, straight typing thru the complete report.
I'm sure that depends on what one...
has to offer, as it does with most companies. :)
Depends..
on if you have write offs or not. I was an IC for years and then went outside the home to work. When coming back to home base, I found it not to be an advantage anymore because I had no write offs and didn't want to open up Pandora's box with itemizing again.
It just depends..
It depends on what state you are in and how many employees are working in that state to determine if you are eligible for health benefits. With my state, there are only about 2 employees that work for FutureNet, so I am not eligible for health benefits. As for incentives, they have great incentives. You get 15% bonus every weekend, and 17% and 20% holiday bonuses. So they are fair with what they offer. Their pay is good; better than other places that I know of. And, again, they are really great to work for. You may be in a state that has several employees with them. I would just ask them. They are quick to tell you what you need to know. Hope this helps.
I think it depends.....
If you have a wide-open screen, like MS Word, or WordPerfect, that allows you to set formats, change fonts, etc. I think it will work. It is my understanding that I-chart is a series of different boxes on the screen in different locations, so you are very significantly limited in your text inputting. But then again, IT works with Meditech, should be able to work with I-Chart, shouldn't it?
Depends
Where did she go to school? I know a lot of companies that will hire newbies if they went to one of the big 3 schools.
