    good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post
    I don't believe anything that was said was directed to YOU personally - it is SoftScript that is the JOKE, not you.

    I, for one, am glad that you are happy where you're at not all companies are a good fit for all MTs and we all know that.

    I speak for myself, with over 35 yrs experience. Personally my time at SoftScript was anything but pleasant and, again, from my point of view if you are willing to put up with J and H more power to you!!

    Have a Great Day ALL, and a safe 4th of July!!


    Oh...okay..then...with your case at rest...

    we won't have to read any more of such ridiculous babble.


    I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
    This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
    OMG - give it a rest. Some people have to
    complain about EVERYTHING even when there is nothing anyone can do about it. The LAW says they have until Feb. 2nd so stop complaining.
    Don't know where the rest of my post went but...
    I would post your question on another site. Too much bitterness and hate towards pregnant MTs here.
    oh boy.. no clue where the rest of my post is.. sm
    maybe I'll have time to rewrte it then... hmmm
    The rest of us get it! We know you didn't post the

    As I stated in my post,

    I was trained by a mentor.  She had, at at time, over 25 years' experience in the field, about nine years ago.  I have no idea what they teach about this in the classroom, but I suppose my answer would have to be that it was chiseled in stone.  LOL!!! 


    However, just for you, I found this information provided in the BOS2:


    In an independent benchmarking study of the MT profession conducted in 1999 by the Hay Management Consultants (HayGroup), three distinct professional levels for medical transcriptionists were identified and described. 


    The first item listed for the Professional Level 3 states, Recognized as possessing expert knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, disease processes, signs and symptoms, medications, and laboratory values related to a specialty or specialties.


    Level 2 refers to the same knowledge, but as seasoned rather than expert.


    Level 1 refers to the same knowledge, but as basic rather than expert or seasoned.


    I would think that an expert level, even a seasoned level, would include available dosages and what the medications are used to treat, wouldn't you?


    Does this mean you have to know this?  No, I don't think so, but I would also think the transcriptionists with expert and seasoned knowledge earn more than those with basic knowledge.


    Hope this helps! 


     


    Read the rest of this post at your own risk....
    I wonder why people like CindyMT (below) are in this business.  I became disgusted with this thread within 2 reads.  Things are horrible at MQ and many other MTSOs right now so tempers are short, I understand that, but what is needed are some POSITIVE minds working to find a way to improve things, even if it means leaving one company for another to get some peace.  If you are getting thrown under the bus by one, maybe it is time to leave.  MQ has totally thrown their QA under the bus and their MTs before that, which is why I am reading company threads, and this thread definitely gives TT a bad rap if what some say is true and it's not a bad place to work.  Good luck to all in this business...where the smart and strong shall survive and the weak and angry will perish.
    As stated in the Sten Tel post below
    The person who asked this question, I think, asked about Sten Tel because of the job ads in the jobs section of this site. This ad was posted by Sten Tel in MA. She wants to know about this particular company because they have job openings.

    She is not referring to the Sten Tel platform.
    in case you were not aware, some people will not work for a company who
    outsources overseas. precyse does this quite heavily.

    even though this board has 'flip-flopped' and now agrees with this practice, it is still driving our rates way down and has damaged our trust.

    I have done two reports on individuals working with homeland security just this past week...hmmm, I wonder if they realize how vulnerable they would be having their 'vital information' shipped overseas for ANYONE to see. bet if they have a choice, their work is done here, and WHY WOULD THAT BE? Why would these people be more important than we are?
    I saw some post from months back that they stated
    they were very strict with the schedule.  the schedule you give them is the one you have to work.
    I just stated with them. Nice people, work out of Word, and pay increases with production. nm

    your post doesn't make much sense. Find another job then? That's what the rest of us do!

    UMMM - I'm not at work, no need to correct as I stated below, I know post had errors.nm

    ooops. I mean that individual plans suck..not stick as I stated in previous post...NM

    In case anyone thinks Escription is a good thing!!
    This is just the beginning as more and more records are residing on the internet. And when you go into see your doctor, he is more concerned with making his laptop work and inputting info than he is listening to you. My friends are angry about this as they see it more and more. So EMR, internet, etc are more trouble than they are worth and we can only hope we go back to the way it used to be.
    I think if you test well they will consider you on a case by case basis without the full 5 years.
    I would definitely contact them anyway.
    3 guesses

    Did you get fired from a company in IL ?


    these are just opinions and guesses,
    but the real question you need to ask yourself is: are you going to just keep working and worrying about what may (and likely) happen or be pro-active and cover your bases? Personally, i recommend at least having a foot in the door somewhere else with a part-time job.
    What are your guesses? You lost us.

    they may be willing to make considerations on a case-by-case basis s/m
    I have a couple of situations that make 8 hours straight not possible for me, and when I hired on with the company I was with who recently merged with Transcend, they worked with me to find ways that would help me be productive without hindering my physical and personal limitations.

    I am not going to list specifics, but I was very impressed at how willing they were to help me and they told me that they are willing to make considerations on a case by case basis.
    The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

    Good company, great people, good benefits.
    Affordable insurance. Good luck!
    I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

    I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


    I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


    There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments

    I think the title of post set people off...
    tell your ex-coworker: no, you do not know of anyone hiring; if she asks again, tell her the same thing. Be thankful she did not ask to use you for a reference; then you have a problem.
    sorry, post should be under 'all MDI people and no...)

    You do realize that probably 90% of the people who post
    on here and read on here probably just applied to your company that you're talking about! It's nice to know that there are still good companies out there. It gives me a little glimmer of light in my oh so dark tunnel that I've been stuck in lately.
    I actually know a couple of the happy people who post...sm

    I actually know a couple of the people who regularly post positively on this board about Transcend. I email with them quite regularly. They aren't management. There's one theory down the drain.


    And, no, I'm not management trying to create a story, either, although you probably suspect that I am.


    Try to accept that people can be happy and supportive of their employer. It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.


     


     


     


    I don't think that is the fault of the MQ people. Anyone is free to post about anything at any ti
    nm
    Maybe it's because they post jobs and never respond to people.
    Has anyone actually had them respond to a resume?
    This is why people do not like to post here. I am not an OFFICIAL recruiter but sm
    like to refer KS to others as I am so happy there. I was not aware that using the title was misrepresentation. It really does not matter. I am not going to waste any more time here. It gets very time-consuming and I am tired of feeling attacked if I post anything at all.
    Well, yes. But my point is the OP said wanted people to post

    positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.


    It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 


    Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 


    This post is true. Pay attention people. nm

    Hey, GP, some people post libelous information

    about companies. I hope it's not you being sued. I don't know if you ever worked for TT or not but  I've seen some of the outrageous things stated against TT and I just don't know if I would believe some of those posts. I think they may be disgruntled employees taking out their hatred on a company that, until a few months ago, had great reviews. Then someone posted a nasty comment about them and it's been going downhill since then.


    This board is for comments on companies, but not some of the nastiness I've seen against TT lately so, again, I say, it all started with one disgruntled employee and snowballed from there. If they are suing someone, they must have a good reason, don't you think?

    Last word here - People here need to read a post correctly
    I never told HER to suck it up. Why don’t you read postings correctly. Can you not make a distinction between me saying I JUST SUCKED IT UP as telling about my vacation and you saying something entirely different? What is the matter with the posters here? I am outta here for the afternoon. Everyone have a good time.
    I remember your post several weeks ago..Hopefully, you still arent working for these people. I'm
    sure they have been paid by their client. Why do they think they can rip people off. You need to post their name so that noone else bothers with them. Oh yeah, I think I remember now..It was someone named Joanna who asked for overflow help on podiatry, right? I am ashamed to admit that I submitted my resume. Luckily, she never called or I would be doing what your doing..Nightmare..
    Good people
    Great benefits, insurance - 2 weeks vacation. Rarely hear from anyone, they just let you do your work.
    Jealous? These are good people ...

    You see - all the good people have left OSI
    She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
    Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
    Good grief people....
    If I could make a list about all that has gone wrong at MQ within the last 2 years, I would be her forever!!!
