maybe ask present employer to
cross-train you...pick up part-time job and start at a lesser rate in order to allow for training...
What is the minimum lines per week required by employers for part-time for transcription?

Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
My employer took all MTs out to lunch today in recognition of National MT Week and we got a new
Drake & Drake Pharmaceutical Word Book!  First time I have worked anywhere that actually recognized MTs for this week.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...

newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)

I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.

There is a new classification called part time.

I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

Can anyone say "Freudian error?" LOL s/b love THEM not me! K, bye for real. NT

Perhaps, but real time chat is fun too.

Real-Time Captioners
It does sound like a neat job. This website says they are hiring. They need captioners for real-time media and news. You have to type fast!

http://www.captioncolorado.com/
I use Bayscribe and I'm pretty sure it IS real time.

Teleconference Real-time transcription
Has anyone heard of this type of transcription?  I assume it is kind of like closed captioning, but wondered what kind of company it would be for and if it can be done from home.  There is a blind posting in a local newspaper in Illinois.  Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! 
part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
You people are having a real good time condemning me....

Don't you know that you can DEACTIVATE your current OS when you upgrade to the next level?  Obviously not. But then, most people here don't seem to be all that computer literate. I asked a couple of computer questions below which got absolutely NO answer.


Don't go jumping to conclusions that someone is a "scammer" and "ruining it for everyone else" until you do your homework.


Have no problem with camp - its what she said about night time that reflects her real
parenting attitude.  She gets a double bonus cause they're tired at night and she doesn't have to deal with them.  That's the horrible statement, but the one she REALLY meant. Now that I called her on it, she's gonna change it to they bake cookies or sing by the camp fire together at night....Please!
I love ER, easy for the most part, though - sm
it does take a bit getting used to. I used to hate it. I do trauma ER so it can get gruesome sometimes but for the most part they don't get very detailed. Sad sometimes, typing about dying or injured children can be a bit upsetting at times. I get mainly gunshot wounds and car accidents though. I only have 2 doctors (both ESL) that I actually make a decent wage with but that is because I do 2 notes in 1 as I have to do a billing note and a lot of time just have to copy and paste in the plan, easy money, 30 minutes is an easy 600 lines that I can do in 2-3 hours. The rest I do though are not as lucrative as they are either hard to understand or dictate slow believe it or not.
Just started using it a week ago and LOVE IT sm
It was really easy to learn, have access to old reports for help, no screen switching, fast, so far no problems.  I came from a program that was very complicated and time consuming, so this is like night and day for me.  Go for it.
Love Steely Dan, going to see them next week. Also anything...
old Motown. Some country is ok too but love all the old rock classics. We have Sirius satellite radio and it has great music on just about every station.
Love the "lack thereof part." sm

I've had 4 kids in the elementary school for a total of 19 years.  This year was my youngest's last year in elementary.  I ran into the teacher who had my oldest son in 4th grade on a recent field trip.  She just looked at me and said, "Don't you have a son named _________?  I hadn't seen this teacher to speak to in 12 years.


He's now early 20's "married with children" and she hasn't forgotten him.  He drove her crazy.  He drove me crazy.  He drove all of his teachers, principals, etc. crazy.  He was the class clown and always in trouble.


Funny they don't rememer my other son who was straight A honors all the way, but very, very quiet. 


Part time
I work part time from home, and I graduated about 7 months ago. It fine doing part time, just don't expect to make any money.
part time
I was told I had to work 20 hours minimum and there was no maximum. Since I'm paid by the line, I could work 100 hours a week if I wanted.
Why don't you try getting a part-time job? Try

Don't want a part time job
I was hired as a fulltime employee; I have benefits and want to keep them. What kind of benefits do you have for parttime; not what I have now that is for sure.

We want to work. Yes it seems like we are complaining a lot but you just do not understand what is going on and obviously do not work for MQ and until you do or are in our shoes kindly do not respond to us. We are letting each other know what is going on on this board because management does not care no matter how much complaining we do.

Many of us have quit already and more and more are going out the door.

All we want to do is work and be treated like human beings and not machines.
Part-time job

I need a part time job but I can't work more than 10-15 hours a week.  Is there any such animal? Everyone I have contacted wants me to work 20 hours.


TIA


$12/hr QA, IC, part-time
will be working on VR tech, I believe. Is it worth trying?
I will look for a part time
i liked this one, but oh well, if they are taking my money......well they claim to have so much new work coming in. I don't think they are in financial trouble, just being cheap.

part-time
I know from my experience that the smaller companies do not follow the same AAMT style as nationals, rather notes are typed the way the doctor wants it. You should have some examples. Talk to someone there before you leave. I bet in the end it will be a lot less stress!!
I do part-time

I purchased a laptop mainly for when we go RVing in the summer as sometimes I receive a lot of work (on tape) from my own local account and instead of needing to stay home so I can complete it by Monday I can now go camping and work and do my work. However, at home, I mainly use my laptop for my on-line job. My laptop has more RAM than my regular PC and everything seems faster on, so I prefer using my laptop.


I am waiting for the new ExpressCard to hit the market from Verizon (or Sprint) and hope to sign up for their unlimited Internet pkg. which will be faster than the dial-up that I currently have (which is all that is available to me), then I can actually do my on-line job (live on a platform) when away from home on my laptop as well if need be. I did check with the tech dept. of the software program and was told that I could connect to their platform this way. My laptop did not come with a PC card slot, just the new ExpressCard slot that all laptops will be made with in the future (is my understanding).


Do you have any particular questions about using a laptop for work???


Part-time job
Part-time weekends at a local hospial as a unit secretary.
Part-time
Bascially trying to read docs handwriting and ordering labs, scans, etc through the computer, answering phones, helping nurses (placing a calls to doctors, ordering different tests, etc) It sounds like an easy job, but there is a lot to learn and trying to read doctors handwriting is a pain. After ordering all of these tests, and all of the medications have to be documented on the nurse's bedside for that patient. A lot of work for little pay!  
Looking For Part Time
I am looking for part-time. Could that be the problem? Is there just not a need for experienced MTs right now?
I have a very part time job.
I do between 30-45 minutes a day.
$25K part time
I work around 24 hours a week and will make $25K this year. Would have been more, but I stopped trying during the summer while still working at MQ.
Part-time job

This is basically a vent--I've decided I need to look for another job.  Two months ago I took an inhouse job (4 hours per day) at a orthopedic surgeons' group with the understanding that after a period of time this could be a full-time position.  But nothing has been said lately about that.  The office is moving the week after Christmas to a newer building.  I've been told the cubicle I'll be in is still just a one-person setup.  They have another lady who comes in for 4 hours in the morning and has been doing this for about 7-8 years. 


She is on vacation for 2 weeks and I'm coming in for my 4 afternoon hours.  I don't think I can keep the transcription caught up, even though the patient load has decreased some.  (This is a 10-doctor practice.)  I've wondered if I should ask to come in full days while the other person is on vacation.  Should I just wait and see how far behind I get before asking? 


I don't want to burn any bridges even though I'm looking for a full-time job. On the other hand, frankly, I believe they are being cheap because the other Transcriptionist is paid by-line and, of course, she isn't paid while on vacation!  Your thoughts would be appreciated--I'm losing sleep worrying about getting so far behind.


 


 


Oh, also part-time

I could use a second part-time job too...sm
I really love where I work but not enough work to make enough money. I don't quite have a year exp and most places want at least 2 years so it isn't easy to get a second job. Oh well maybe they can give me another account so I will have more work. Actually I was supposed to have been trained about a month ago for another account and I keep getting put off by the head MT who does the training. I hate to go to the owner and seem like a whiner but I am getting annoyed.
Part time IC
Dream on girl. Wouldn't we all love what you are looking for? With your experience, you could easily get a job with a company working fulltime and have the benefits also (you have that?) From what I have seen, evenings, nights and weekends is what they are looking for and many do not hire parttime anymore. Hook, line and sinker is the name of the game these days.
Part-time
I don't know why it seems employers are demanding full-time only, but have you asked any of them what their minimum line count for full-time would be? Perhaps if you explained that you could meet that in 32 hours instead of 40, they might be willing to listen?

Most places that do take part-timers tend to insist that you commit to at least 20 hours. How many hours per week are you looking for?

Have you thought about going directly to doctor's offices and such and offering your services as an independent contractor?

Good luck!
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
I did and got it....$1000 for part-time.

Are there any companies who pay part-time
Just wondering. 
Part-time with benefits? sm

I currently work 30 hours as an IC, but I am looking for a different company that has benefits.  Are there any companies that hire part-time (30 hours a week or less) and have benefits?


Thanks so much!


Why isn't part time not working for you?

Hope you don't mind my asking why Spheris part time is not working out for you?  Thanks.  Just want to know what I could be getting into.
