I have six years experience the last two include transcribing and QA. Looking for a PT job to supplement. Prefer microcassette/dictaphone but will also do FTP. Multi-specialty, peds, OB/GYN, family practice, etc.... Please let me know if anyone has any leads or you are a company looking for help. I have at least 98% accuracy. I can provide excellent references.I can start immediately.

I have over five years experience in numerous specialities. The last two years I have also completed QA. I am looking to supplement income with new accounts. I would prefer mircocassette or dictaphone accounts but will do others. Please email with any opportunities.


 


Job openings

Hi am from Canada, and am looking for a MT job from home.  Currently I work for 20 doctors in Edmonton Alberta and am wanting to work from home so bad. I want to start part time, gradually into full time so I can quit my 9 to 5 job at the clinic.  Any ideas>>>Anyone heard of Superior Global Inc.  I received a phone call from them, it is a 1-800 number I cannot access from Canada.  Go figure!!


Desperate here.


 


 


MT openings
This is just a guess, but there have been so many posts in the last 6 months or so about low work at multiple companies that it's possible that they are just slowing down their hiring and that's why you aren't getting any responses. Also, if you really want to leave your present company you may have to be willing to compromise a bit on what you are looking for and open up your job search to companies you had not considered before.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Is this a rad acct and do they have openings? (nm)
xx
I would apply right away. I know there are only 2 openings right now. sm
I think any company would love to have someone with stability apply, and a resume can be informal.
Yep, they said they have no openings at this time

Does anyone know of any current openings sm
for account manager/supervisor working from home?  Thanks!
hourly QA openings
Try Medquist, we have openings, all positions are hourly, QA specialists (filling in blanks) and QA auditor (client reviews). Apply on their website under professional opportunities.
True IC openings
A couple of days ago there were some posts about jobs with no set schedules and true IC status. Several people emailed me, and I gave you names of companies. FYI, one is hiring right now. They have an ad out but it isn't on the board here. It will be the one I said for sure had no schedule. I wish I could email you personally but I somehow deleted all the emails - sorry.
They only have a few VR for radiology and there are no openings. sm
They do not yet do HIM VR editing and I do not think that they are going that way any time soon. If they do, it will be few and by choice.
Probably not you at all, number of openings sm
and number applying. On MT stars you can see how many views the ad had, some up to 2800, may be 1 opening, so look how many passed over. Just keep applying. I have seen this same concern frequently in other posts here and on MTDaily.com so don't think it is you particularly. Just hangggg in.
Not sure if there are Rad openings. I do acute care...
OPs, DS, HP, and CS.  Been here since September and have never been happier with a job.  Website is www.mditrans.com. 
Yes, talk to your manager about whether s/he has any openings for
FT MTs.
Archivus Weekend Openings
Anyone tested for Archivus for the weekend openings that were advertised about two weeks ago, have you heard back from them?

MT companies, with oncology specialist openings!

Hello,


I am highly interested in the MT companies who have current openings in oncology as the speciality of choice!  I have 5 years' experience as an MT.  I am now doing orthopedics, which is good, but I really love doing oncology, for personal reasons.  I am looking for pay per line either equal to OR above my pay that I receive now.  I have worked for a little over one year for the company I work for now, and I received an actual raise for all of my hard, but enjoyed, work.  Also, I should mention that I have NEVER worked for any companies, in my life, that do not give raises every year.  As long as the work warrants it, and everything else keeps going up in price, i.e. GAS prices, and etc, I think that it should be given to us hard-working MTs!!  After all, this is a REAL job, and not just a job that is taken lightly by some of us, who actually NEED to make a living off of this type of work, and also enjoy doing it!


So, if your company has what I would like to have in an employer, contact me, and we will talk seriously about it.  I would just love to hear from you!


I suppose it depends on which accounts have openings. nm

MedScribe FL Acute Care Openings
Has anyone who applied at MedScribe heard back from them?  I notice on mtjobs.com they posted the same ad 11/06 and 11/18 for acute care positions with a $1000 sign-on bonus.  I applied and got an email back saying that they received my application, but have heard nothing more from them.  Just curious if anyone has made it further along in the process. Thanks.
Hmm, guess they have openings for certain people on certain accounts...nm

Check the hospital web sites. Most have their job openings on line now. nm

Clarification about Keystrokes' current openings, hiring, etc. sm

There have been a few posts that Keystrokes is hiring and a few that Keystrokes is not hiring.  Right now, we are working with our current MTs to make sure that they have the volume of work that they want, accounts that they are happy with and changing our benefits package.  We are transitioning to having primarily full-time MTs, with a few exceptions and have been helping some of the part-time MTs increase their work load to full time.


We continue to grow and will be hiring in the very near future, once we make sure that current employees have everything they want/need.  There are definite gaps that we need filled, all full-time positions, but the openings will not be posted until each and every current employee has had his/her needs addressed.  We are also working on a formal training program for new employees, building a new office and working with MTIA and AAMT on the new apprenticeship program. 


We hope this clears up some of the confusion and questions we have been getting.

Questions about TransTech acute care openings.

TransTech has openings for 2nd shift. Is there usually consistent work available on that shift?  I think I read they do lots of VR; do you take a loss with it or can it be profitable?  How is communication with the supes there?  Feel free to E-mail me privately if you want with any further information. 


Call and talk to a recruiter. They would know what openings are on what accounts. nm

Where do you live? The hospital I work for has two openings and they pay hourly, SM
but they require that you train in-house for at least the first 90 days (sometimes it is shorter/longer depending upon how quickly you pick up the nuances of the job) and you are required to come in for quarterly department meetings
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm

EXText
I just wonder what companies use EXText as a transcription platform?  If you've worked on it, did you like it?  Is it  MT friendly?
EXText
If you are referring to Dictaphone EXTtext, it is basically transcribing in Word only it has it's own Expander (you cannot use SmartType and other Expanders with it.) It is user friendly and works quickly.

I used IT with EXText, too.
nm
OSi uses EXText...nm
oo
extext
Could you tell me about the EXtext? I have a chance to switch from Merit to that, what do you think about it? I really like Merit so I don't know what to do.
EXText
I have never used Merit, but I have heard from my team leader that the MTs who use it like it.  I was using EXText for the past 2 years and like it fine, very happy that Medware could get me started in 1 day and save all of my Expander file.
EXText
OSi uses it.
EXText
I have worked on Dictaphone's EXText platform for 5 years, for 2 different companies, and I love it.
ExText
OSI and Intellitype
ExText
What is the name of the company and do you still work for them? I am about ready to accept a job, but it seems like I do remember her saying something about ExText. If everything you are saying is true, I don't know if I should go to work for them. Now I'M IN A PANIC!! Plus, everything else about the job sounded too good to be true. So maybe that's because they use ExText? PLEASE REPLY as I need to get back to them soon.
ExText
I personally really like working with ExText.  No problems in about 2-1/2 years.  I don't know what your question, do they really take 30%, means but assuming you mean the ExText program, then my production is just as good with it as it has been with any other program.  Believe me I would notice if my production went south;  that happened with XX Company on DQS.  Very occasionally it seems to be a little slow loading jobs but the only time I ever have to really wait on it is if I have a couple of really short reports in a row, otherwise 2 jobs stay in my que all the time.  Good luck which ever way you decide to go.
ExText
I'm not the poster you were responding to, but IMHO ExText is not really better or worse than most other platforms I've worked on and that's been a bunch.  The exception it DQS.  At the time I worked on it DQS totally sucked but then I know there are people who say they love it.  I'm not exactly a computer whiz so I suppose different companies using ExText could probably make it function different ways.  My experience with ExText is the demos pop right in and you go directly from there to the typing screen, Ctr end ends the job and brings up the next demo screen and so on.  Couldn't be much more simple.
ExText

I really like ExText.  It is very user-friendly.  My line counts with TT are consistent with those from other companies I have worked for in the past that used a different platform.  I would suggest you contact the person that hired you regarding your concerns about ExText and let them explain the way it works, i.e., what you are paid for and what you are not paid for, and any other questions you may have. 


ExText rip off
I work in extext with breitner's and we dont get paid for headers/footers either.....  we look up referrals, etc. After I type a document, I click on tools, and chose word count and I keep track of my counts myself.  I get paid for the full body of the reports, but no heads/foots......  to me, 30% is BS.  How long have you worked with this company??? 
EXText rip off
I work for Breitner too. Do they take 25% off your total line count? I am still waiting for my first real 2 week paycheck to see what the reduction is. Only been there about 6 weeks now.
ExText
TransTech does .....so far no problems.
ExText
You say the ExText you use does not allow SmarType but has its own built in expander. Is it an Expander that you have to start from scratch? I, too, use ExText and would like to use SmarType in MS Word. I hate the built in expander for the simple reason you have to start from scratch. With SmarType, there were already a lot of words/phrases loaded and you just had to add to them. Plus my expander will not automatically back up a space, as in if you needed to put a period in. Is yours the same? PLEASE reply as I am considering buying SmarType for MS Word for $195.00, but I really don't have the money.
EXText
Does anybody know how to find out if a company uses a particular transcription platform?  I have been trained on Dictaphone EXText and would like to use it again.  How do I find the companies that use it????

ExText

I've used ExText in the last 2 jobs I've had, and we have a shortcut program, ESP, which is easy to use.  I had a hard time learning ExText for a few weeks, but the training at the first company was not very good.  Now I'm very comfortable with it.


Just know that starting a new job has pressures, so just keep on asking questions until you get it.


I do enjoy being able to search the old charts.  Today I had to look up the dictator's old charts and then the patient's old charts, but I found what I wanted.


If you want to post your email, I'll be glad to help you get started.  My new company has excellent instructions and tips.


Used Extext and DQS

It would probably help if you named the actual programs.  I have worked with both Dictaphone EXText and Docuscribe (DQS) on the same PC with no problems whatsoever.  The key is having a lot of memory, making sure all of your operating system software is up to date, keeping your folders cleaned out, etc. 


Be selective on your KVM switch if you have to get one and routers, too.  I have used a Linksys KVM with audio for 2 years now and LOVE it.  Never had a single problem.  Good luck with the 2nd job. 


It is ExText.
I e-mailed you the company name. I had to sign some confidentiality stuff, and I can't remember if that includes what software they use.
