First Choice Medical might work. sm
The minimum daily requirement is 30 minutes of dictation. People are wonderful, QA is gently strict, and the pay is good. Don't know if it's hiring, though. IC only.
First Choice Medical is a great company to work for, and I think they are hiring too.
I have been there for over 4 years now. They use WP51 too if you want. Good luck to you.
If you are working every weekend, that is only by your choice..sm
I'll say it one more time, NO OTHER PROFESSION BE IT MEDICAL, SECURITY, OR EVEN THE CLERK AT THE CORNER CONVENIENT STORE HAS TO WORK EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY OR SUNDAY OR BOTH! I refuse because my child comes first! I won't miss her games. I also feel obligated to have her in church. I'll take a 1/2 cent paycut for my child and God. As much as I need money, nothing will ever come before family or God...EVER!
My schedule includes a weekend day by choice. I'm

not 100% sure, but I think you had a choice of Sun-Th or Tu-Sat schedule.   We haven't run out of work, but things are staying very caught up, so I would say they aren't hiring.  I do know a new account is coming, but don't know time frame for that.  You can apply through their website and you should get a response within a couple of days at most if they are hiring.

First Choice Medical .. anybody know?

First Choice Medical
Does anyone know anything about this company? 
First Choice Medical
Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about First Chart Medical?  Having a hard time finding anything.  Is the platform fast and easy to use?  Thanks
What about First Choice Medical? sm
Nothing in the archives, is that good or is that bad? Thanks.
First Choice Medical

      Have worked for FC for several years.  Small and growing.  If you are a solid MT who shows up, does the job well and care about the work you do, you should do well.  


           No multilevel management to deal with.  If you have a problem and want to talk to the boss, she wants to talk to you.   QA is fair and tough at times (as they need to be) - we follow the BOS with only exception when the client says otherwise.  Care about your work and you'll find quickly you have no difficulty with our QA.  


   We get paid on time DD.


          As far as the boss, one of the finest people I've ever known, in the business or out.  She will listen to you and she will back you up when it's necessary.


         As far as not hearing much on the boards, we are all busy working. Very busy.   Not every company fits every person. If you are lucky enough to find a fit with FC, I think you are quite lucky indeed.  I know I am.


First Choice Medical
Any info on this company would be greatly appreciate,  i.e. pay, software, paydays, etc.
Does anyone know if First Choice Medical (Florida)

uses internet based platform or whether you need unlimited long distance?  I'm pretty sure they are IC only but not sure about long distance vs internet.  Thanks:)


QT medical I think still offers the choice
of WP51 or Word use.

Any beefs about First Choice Medical?

First Choice Medical - recent?
Does anybody have recent experience with this company?  I saw in the archives multiple mentions of poor sound quality; wondering if this has improved as of late.
First Choice Medical. Could someone who works there contact me please? sm

 I am considering a position there and wonder how hard it is to get a good line count with their accounts, platform, demographics, etc.  I would love to hear from someone who can help me.  Thanks.


First Choice Medical - what kind of platform etc.?
NM
First Choice Medical, a transcription service. nm

Any recent info on First Choice Medical? sm
I've looked in the archives.  The sound files seem to be an issue, but there is nothing very recent on them.  Has sound improved?
Try First Choice Medical (in Florida). When I worked for it, sm
they required a minimum of 30 minutes of dictation per day. You pick the days. Pay was good. Staff was great!
It is First Choice Medical and they are a great company. Nothing bad to say. Try'em. nm

First Choice, QT Medical, Metro Transcription in Atlanta, sm
and I am sure there are others. These are the ones that I know of.
Would any current or past employees of First Choice Medical please email me...sm

I have been offered a job there and am trying to make a decision.  I am curious about the type of accounts they have, the platform they use, whether ShortHand works with it, how much work they actually have, and any other information you would care to share.  I know it is always best to hear from current employees to get the real story and would SO much appreciate if someone could help me with my decision.  Thank you.


QT Medical is a wonderful small company. Very friendly and flexible with good dictators. sm
I have to be honest that I know nothing about the health insurance as I do not carry it. Anyway, they are an absolute wonder of a company. Apply at www.qtmedical.com
I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
a
Yes, they outsource, yes you really need to be flexible due to not enough work going around on some
accounts but they are easy to work with as far as leaving you alone to do your work. The benefits are pretty good but you have to maintain that certain line count production to get them and sometimes that can be challenging. It is just hard to have asked for a day schedule and placed on an account that really doesnt want you until until later in the day. I am not that flexible because I have a set schedule with kids, but if your a go-with-the-flow kind of girl, I'd say to try them out.
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
There are MTs out there who are looking for weekend work...sm

I guess I don't understand your complaint with the company posting that ad.  They have a need they need to fill, and it might be the right fit for somebody. 


Weekend work...

Contact docQmed.  I am one of his clients and am always looking for weekend warriors.


 


weekend work.....
What position are you interested in?  If you do read the previous posts, just ignore them...of course they are all ex-employees who left on a bad note with the company.  If you would like you can contact me concerning a position with Shapin.
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is

weekend work

Are there any companies who will allow you to work both weekend days as part of a regular schedule.  I am looking for a reliable company, at leat 8.5 cpl, employee status and one where work flow is regular.  I realize there are always slow downs in this industry but searching for a company where you are not consistently running out of work. I prefer to work both Sat and Sun to allow me 2 days off during the week. I know this is unusual. I have an IC job.  Love the flexiblity but I need benefits.


weekend work
I picked a Sun-Thur schedule so I plan to work Sun after dinner, and get my weekend in first...
looking for weekend work
I would like to obtain weekend transcription. I do work a full time 40 hour weekday job and would like to pick up some weekend work. If anyone knows of any, please let me.
weekend work
I too hated the thought of working every single weekend, but I've been doing it for a year, and it has actually worked out okay. On the Sunday that I work, my husband gets to spend time with my kids, and I get an actual day to work interrupted. I don't have to work 8 hours on Sunday though, so I guess that helps. I just get up early and am done by noon. I am actually considering doing a Saturday too so that my husband can help that day also. It might not be as bad as you think. Good luck.
Weekend work
What do you find so difficult about working a weekend? I had 3 kids and worked 7 days a week.. (and still work 7 days a week!), you just adjust your schedule to what your kids are doing....most companies no longer require a set 8-4 or 9-5 type environment....Now I'm a grandmother and manage to do my job during the day and watch my granddaughter after 3 p.m....it really isn't that difficult. Look at it this way - if our normal work week was Tues to Sat, you'd be wondering how anyone could work Mon - Fri. Good luck with your juggling.
You HAVE to work a weekend day? No thanks!
I'll stick to companies who hire full-timers on M-F and part-timers for weekend work...
That's because you're an IC. For employees, NOT flexible. And no work. nm
no msg
I work for First Choice and have lots of ops.
I am not sure if they are hiring, but you can always check.
Any other First Choice MTs out of work today?
Or is it just me?
Yes. You must work 1 weekend day every week. nm

If they didn't want weekend work,
I would have taken the job. But who wants weekends? That stinks.

I have plenty of work and am doing OT this weekend. Maybe you could ask
for a transfer to a different supervisor.
Weekend work / 2nd line
It depends on which client they assign you to.  Our hospital is currently dial-up to both Lanier and Meditech.  However, Meditech will soon be IP connection but you will require a phone line for our Lanier as ours is not internet based/digital.
