Help! Have face-to-face interview for at-home hospital job tomorrow and ....SM
I want to ask the most comprehensive questions I can so as to make the best decision possible. I work for a small national right now, pretty happy but would like better benefits, especially more affordable and better insurance. I already know this hospitals pays .09 cpl and .11 if you do more than 1200 lines per day. It's been so long since I've been interviewed in person. I need you guys to help me make a list of questions to ask so that I can just get it all down on paper and make sure I'm not missing anything. I know they use ChartScript and Lanier and that they provide the computer. What else exactly should I ask?
I came across my best friend online, but I have yet to meet her face to face sm
I have known her for several years. We talk a couple of times a day. I have never seen her face to face, but I could not live without her love and support and she feels the same.
I have given my number out several times recently. I have yet to come across a serial killer. They are all MTs. Without exception, they have all been wonderful. In three cases, we are all working on friendship. In one case, I think we will be close in time. We are very similar in many ways and I just think she is wonderful.
I have dated on line and we were together as a couple in person for a year. It was a great experience.
Give notice face to face and (sm)
briefly explain the circumstances. In the same conversation ask if it's ok to use the company as a reference and possibly provide a "To Whom It May Concern" letter of recommendation. Then follow up with a brief letter. A good reference goes a long way, even as an IC!
Have a face-to-face talk with your son!
Tell your son you love him and care for him, but you are just not happy about his soon to be wife/lesbian calling his mother/soon-to-be mother-in-law these nasty things. Tell your son that if he wants any part of his family then he needs to talk to his girlfriend and tell her that she needs to respect his mother or things will sure be hell down the long road. You know how it is when you do not get along with in-laws. Sounds like your son had a lot of communicating to do or you may not respect him anymore.
face to face demeanor is always different...sm
guess they figure if you can't see 'em, they can be themselves.
I know their demeanor is different face to face,
but if they treat the medical record with such little regard, I really wonder what kind of ethics they have regarding the medical care given to their patients.
I do not have a big old butt
I just joined this craziness a few days ago. I do not hate having many accounts, I do not mind trying to remember each profile and I would gladly have more accounts but THERE IS NO WORK ON THE ACCOUNTS. The main word here is NO WORK.
I do not wear bifocals or slober. Sounds like you are describing yourself.
You must be an expert MT and love you job so why are you not doing it?
Sorry to butt in, but I'd say...
This is what I would say in a very sympathetic and concerned voice,
"I need to talk to you. I can hear you a great deal of the time, and I feel very uncomfortable about it. I am probably hearing more than you want me to. I am sure you would feel uncomfortable having me hear your private conversations, so I just wanted to let you know that I can hear you."
Bigger isn't always better!
I know that one small private online service does nothing but the Mayo Clinic. It's a very nice little company who does quality work.
10-15% seems low, they like bigger
At Acusis, competitive pay means competitive with third world countries. Company is for all intents and purposes an India company. Start looking before the mass exodus.
There is a seat for every butt, there is the
"one" for everyone, you just have to find them or they have to find you. I believe there is a soulmate out there for everyone.
I have mine!
Working my butt off too
I have beening working my butt off too but recently a lawyer has been asking me why not bankruptcy and now I am also questioning it. I had problems when my son was born that just could not be helped and I am trying to rebuild now.
Probably around $24K if you kick butt - sm
Not too many MTs make $44K; if they do they either work 18+ hours a day or have their own accounts and still work long hours. If you need a steady reliable income you are best staying where you are; or do your current job at home if you can.
butt cheeks !!!
OMGSH. That is hilarious. I hope they don't expect you to actually type that. I hope they want buttocks instead. I had this one doc years ago who could not remember how to say "urinate" or couldn't pronounce it. He tried and tried and just couldn't get it out and so he put it bluntly, " And the patient peed" He had a hard time with the English language.
butt cheeks---Unfortunately, sm
It's a verbatim account! He later uses the word "butt" alone. I cringe every time I get one of his dictations.
Help! My butt is numb! SM
Okay, I'm working in the office for the next month training someone (I work for a hospital). Anyway, cubicle that is supposed to pass for my workstation is AWFUL! Because all the MTs are at home, the hospital of course doesn't spend money on office furniture and the chair I have to use is just the pits. It leans slightly to the left and forward and my left buttock is going numb and sometimes aching (like a pinched nerve). I don't really want to gripe or complain because I'm only here temporarily, but man I miss my comfy chair and desk at home!
So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can do to center my chair a little better. It has wheels, so putting something under the chair to raise the left side up won't work. I have thought about a seat cushion of some sort, problem is I'm afraid putting a cushion under my left buttock will throw everything off and cause me to have issues on the right side of my back and butt!
It is amazing how one tiny little shift can wreak such havoc! I feel like the princess and the pea!
Help! My butt is numb! SM
I know exactly whatyou mean! I don't know if it's my age or what, but I am also very sensitive to my seating. I don't understand why they won't let you bring in your own chair just while you're working there. If I take a job at the local hospital and am not able to bring in my own chair, I won't make it through the day!
Speaking of chairs, I prefer a knee chair with a back, but the cheapest ergonomic one I've seen is $400 from BizChair. It has kind of a sling for a seat. It seems that almost any traditional seat makes my "cheek" bones ache by the end of the day. Any suggestions out there for us sensitive sitters who don't want to take out a loan for a seat?
I hate to butt in here but GP was
stating her opinion. Take it or leave it. You are the one slamming, not her.
You don't have to start bashing someone because they gave an opinion...and FYI, I wouldn't work for someone that has to wait until they get paid either. Two months is a long time to wait....and I'm talking from experience, too.
Oh, boy, yep, you got bigger problems than me...
Isn't life grand? Sorry I can't offer any advice but to hang in there and do what's best for you. I don't know you, of course, but *hugs*.
Bigger puzzles?
Have you seen the books with the huge grafts? I have not tried these yet.
I see a bigger picture there than you do - sm
I see the state of US healthcare as a whole, which is going steadily downhill. It's a complicated mess and will take a lot of scrutinizing and picking apart to have any hope of cleaning up some of its dirtier secrets. Taking surveys in various sectors of that industry (especially in MT, a sector that for the most part is totally swept under the rug and ignored) is at least a step in the right direction. Not being interested in taking a survey is a personal decision, and if you feel threatened by it, then by all means steer clear if it makes you feel better. But your all-out attack on the idea, which seems to center around a PayPal button, seems skewed somehow, and makes me think you are MORE threatened by the thought that our profession's dirty laundry just might get aired.
Now, could you kick my butt into gear? LOL
 I don't wanna work today. Not sure if it's the rainy weather or if it's just my total lack of motivation!
Just don't go at it from the aspect of "pain in the butt" sm
Never approach a new specialty as a possible "pain in the butt"... think of it as more knowledge, a great learning experience. I loved cardiology, and with your experience in the medical field, if you really enjoyed it and paid attention to what went on around you (medically), you will do just fine! My first account was ERs... for about three years, with a slow introduction to a specialty at a time. I still LOVE ERs... but I can do them all because I wanted to KNOW as much as possible about it all... but ERs give a great overview to all specialties ... GOOD LUCK, and have fun learning something new every day... I still do after 11 years!!
Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. (nm)
I just sit on my fat butt and watch it grow. nm
nm
Butt ugly comes to mind! LOL...nm
s
I have always worked 2 so my butt is covered - sm
Just make it so the your work schedule does not overlap. I generally try to work 1 during the day, and do the other a few hours at night. If I get the one done at night early enough I may start on my other IC jobs work until I get to tired and go to bed. Probably work about 10 hours or so a day with a big break between 3:30 and 7:30 basically. It is not hard to do, just if you slack off at one, then it is hard to get caught back up and stay that way.
training is kicking my butt
I've been training with a company the last four days, five reports a day, and I can't seem to get consistent results.
I guess expecting to be perfect after four days is a little rough but I keep making the same mistakes. There are just so many little details, and it's about a huge subject -- verifying the patient info, which could make them kick me to the curb before I even get in full time. It's just so hard to do on this new platform which I am not used to... it might be because I haven't encountered every type of report error yet. Hopefully that's what it is, and I'll learn everything in time (versus having to deal with a permanent brainfart when it comes to this issue).
Thankfully my transcription itself rocks according to QA. Otherwise I'm sure they would have asked me to return my foot pedal and delete the system from my computer!
training is kicking butt
I think I know which company and I quit because of all the steps you had to do before you could start typing and/or VR.
That's nice, but they have a bigger problem SM
with the fact that their own employees take the information home on laptops....per the letter I received last week from the VA notifying me that my information had been stolen from someone's car...
Bigger concern is your husband!!
Aside from the fact that your husband's friend is a jerk, what is your husband saying about the fact that he will not give you this female's phone # so you can call her back and let her hear a piece of reality here!! It's as if your hubby is saying this is a game here and it's "okay". Does the fact that this lady called him give him some kind of a charge, a little excitement for him? I would question his ethics first, after all, if he's willing to keep this number from you, what else would he think is none of your business? Sorry, but that's the bigger problem.
the Az Humane Socity said 2 lbs or bigger

BTW, the bigger issue made of my...sm
smoking.... the more I smoke. That happens to be true of lots of smokers. So, don't bug her about it. She's more likely to do it on her own if you drop it.
Women now are into the bigger crimes
so a woman does not gain entrance into my house. Your daughters are really old enough to know better. I had 2 women come here 1 day, raining outside and they were shivering and wanted entrance and I said NO. I know anyone can get in if they want but no sense in making it easier for them. I saw a police chase yesterday (thought coming from Calif as ones that happen here usually when it is over) but live and the people got out and ran- husband is saying is that not a female? It was and she along with a male trying to escape. I had someone in uniform (who most people trust) show up 1 day asking to use my phone- no way Jose, told them give me a # and I will call for you. I am very, very aware of all around me and no one enters my house through the garage or front door (while I am home, of course) without my letting them in. Rural versus city no different. Crime happens everywhere.
LOL! I've already had to buy a bigger monitor
my problem is that my keyboard shelf only allows space for the keyboard and I love this desk - is a corner desk - now with more constant use of mouse my shoulder aches because it is higher- I have to figure out how to make space for the mouse - any suggestions? Need a man to jigsaw me an extension, I guess.
You will have bigger worries than us sitting in

The bigger the better. Flat screen.
nm
If you are wanting to make it bigger, but
not affect the final report, look on your tool bar and there should be a box that has a number/percentage in it. Mine says 100%. You can increase it there so it is bigger on the screen, but does not change the "font" of the report. This is in MS Word.
MS Word....anyone know how to get the text to appear bigger
Help if you can! Thanks!
Thats why I left Medquist. I was busting my butt for them
I never thought his skinny pockmarked butt was hot
gross
Really? Can you explain why or are you just blowing smoke out your butt again?

no matter how bad the school is.

My top 10 reasons for being perfectly happy and satisfied with my employer!!!
Easier if you're in a bigger city
I went to an open "cattle call" sponsored by one of the big modeling agencies at a Holiday Inn once some years ago with my DD. Didn't cost any money but did involve several hours of standing around.
Wouldn't hurt to call around to the modeling agencies like another poster said, but I do believe you will have to pay for some photographs, at least. The other factor involved is if the kid can go for a long time without crying or throwing fits in a boring environment. That was my DD's problem. I did have to pay for comp cards made out of an existing photograph. Nothing came out of it for us, but it is possible to look into it without getting rooked.
Because it sits up and has bigger digital numbers.
My eyesight's a goin' in my old age here! LOL
You just have to tap it on top...lots easier.
With the stopwatch, I have to pick it up and press the timer each time.
Sounds like you have one child that is a lot bigger in size than the others!
I used to get that too-- mine worked 4-10s while I worked 5-8s. When I got home, I had to fix dinner, clean up the house, took care of my horse, etc., and when he got home, he just would lay around. If I asked him to do something, it was always that he was "too tired-- because he worked 10 hours. Yet he had a whole extra day off to go fishing or do whatever he wanted while I was at work-- I told him I was working the same number of hours he was-- and I didn't get a three day weekend! These "poor" men are spoiled rotten and women always get the short end of the deal.
My satellite for the Direcway is on my roof! It is bigger than..sm
my TV satellite, but the best place for the internet was on the roof! I have never had any trouble or "slow" times with it. I have worked through ice, rain, snow...you name it and it has always loaded quickly and with no interuptions. If you have no other ways for high speed, I would recommend the Direcway dish. We have nothing else offered where I live. It is satellite or dial up. Files that would take 1/2 a day or more are now loaded in as little as 5-10 minutes! Also, I have worked for three different companies with my satellite and have never had any security issues and have never had to purchase additional software to make it secure. Cost to me was 600 up front and then 59 a month.
Ditto on the same monitor. Doesn't need to be any bigger. nm
