Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
It is not the hospitals on a short TAT it is what MQ wants to make the hospitals very happy with

them. I would assume the accounts are on 12, 24 or 48 TAT but wouldnt they love having their work back no sooner than it is dictated.


ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin.   I made a mistake they are located in Missouri.  Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
Not a lot of room for error

If you know the BOS 2.  Then apply.  If you don't.  Do not apply.  A very strict MTSO to work for. 


Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.*  That was an error then, right?  Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs.  That is the reality.  Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is?  Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised.  Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it.  I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it.  If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association.  Period.  Full stop.  End.
you DO get an error message BUT

you can just bypass it.  it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs.  it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.


Good luck with your Grandma!!


Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
Your post has an error....

If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?


Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board?  I see an error.  What gives?  I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?  


I would have to assume that works both ways.  Have a great day!


That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m

My math error, sorry. sm

But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour,  for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks.  Burn out.  Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.


but ya all go ahead..


If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports.  For example:  Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc.  Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.
nm
The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease.   The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen.  Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things.  I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked.  I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too.  And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me.  If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease.  But, no one is saying ANYTHING.  However, supposedly the money is there.......
I guess it depends on what your error was.

Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.


If one dares to point out an error a QA
made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.
Transhealth requires 2 yrs nm

There is at least 1 facility that requires US MTs only.
It is actually their largest account. I worked for them a few years ago and worked another service that did this same hospital. This hospital is very picky and absolutely will not allow any offshore work. I guess they will have to keep all US MTs on that particular account in order to keep it.

I would invite all DRC MTs to come on over to TransTech, you will find a home here.
I believe TT requires 5 years
experience
It is SO unbelievable...this job requires
us to constantly keep up with the new procedures, meds, surgical instruments, etc., it is a constant learning curve...and it just kills me that these companies offer less and less money every year...been doing this for 20 years now and it has really gone down-hill! Someone needs to understand what it takes to become a skilled acute care transcriptionist! Maybe the Feds can help us out...they're doling out billions to wealthy investors these days...
Do you really think that this profession requires MORE than others? sm
Come on, nurses, teachers, most other *professions* have to keep CEs updated, etc. Wages are stagnant in *most* fields right now, not just this one.

If you feel like a victim, find something that makes you happier and feel empowered. That's not anything but truth.
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
She didn't make 1 spelling error that I can see.

Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm
.
It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors.  If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!

you must not have made the grade. He requires
very high quality work, but pay is worth it.
any company that requires YOU to pay THEM is a scam
never ever would you have to pay a STAFFING AGENCY to keep you on a list. The only time you should pay for work is if you are hiring a headhunter to do the search for you.

P.S. I'm not yelling - ... just in case anyone feels that they need to jump down my throat.
that employer requires employees not to say anything on the
.
Nothing wrong with that. Their work requires someone with
that set in stone requirement.
MDI-MD only requires a line count (sm)

commitment and they are now getting some accounts that are internet-based.


Anyone know if Silent Type requires you to fly to NJ? sm

If so, I hate to waste my time (and theirs) by even applying. 


Thanks.


Honestly, I am not sure, but since the hospital requires it and I have been through one before..
they just checked to make sure you didnt have a criminal background. The way I understood is that companies in which they require you to handle money i.e. financial companies, banks etc.. require credit check. I had one once when I applied for an insurance company as I would be paying medical claims. So, I really think the hospital will not require this.
Most of my ME work requires little editing.
I still come out ahead on it.

We have our own speech recognition software called DocQspeech.

I like it.

I make 8.75 cpl for my transcription and 7 cpl for my editing. I have greater production on my ME work, though, so that I make a fair amount more when I do edit work than with transcription.
BOS is a ripoff, as well. If your MTSO requires - sm
you to have it, do like I did and buy a used CD of it on ebay instead of that expensive book. (OR, if you've got a friend with the CD, maybe they could make a copy for you).
Webmedx requires only 2 years.

I don't think anyone requires 2400 transcribed
lines daily. Where I work, to maintain FT status we are required 1200 lines a day/6000 a week.
Keystrokes requires C-phone? NM
NM
MDI-MD requires 1 weekend day commtiment.
I don't think the OP wants any weekend work. Phoenix Medcom doesn't do weekends, so even though their pay is not the best, they'd still likely be able to accommodate her schedule much better, I think.

I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm
