My guess is that many in-house radiology MTs are being sent home
I suppose it is either they are changing companies they are working with and the new companies need staffing or radiology departments with on site MTs are now outsourcing.

I wonder how MDI is to work for.
I've been looking for years. It's always a mix anymore. Good stuff gets kept in house. nm

That is one of many reasons why I chose to work at home! No thanks to in-house! Good luck. nm

Keep searching. All the good stuff is kept in house now. If you snag Op reports out here, they're

Do you work in-house here? I applied last August & was told in-house only and they weren't

Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)

My guess, your test is either really good or

I guess my original point was that it's not all good for all MTs

I was thrilled when KS called me, and I had really high hopes, in large part based on what I read here in this forum.  But my primary account dried up after the docs went to voice, and yet it's still my primary account -- with no work!  There are two of us attached to this account, even though there isn't enough work for one part-timer.  Lately I have been checking the account from 7:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., but there simply isn't anything to do.  The docs are doing their own work.  So why do we even have this account?


I too have a great relationship with my lead.  We talk on the phone every day, we e-mail every day, she regularly requests additional accounts for me, but still the work doesn't come.  It is truly a mystery, but based on some of the other comments on the boards, I'm not alone. 


I've already had two backup accounts fizzle out, and I'm waiting to train on a third -- but I'm only to do overflow and won't have any regular work from the account.


That is great for you that your accounts are steady and reliable, and I would love to be in the same situation.  I expected to be in that situation!  I'm used to 1400-1600 lines per shift.  I have had really good feedback from QA, so my work isn't an issue.  All I am doing is asking for enough work.  I thought that was why I was here.  I can't wait for accounts they hope to get in a week, a month, two months.  I have tried to give KS the benefit of the doubt, rationalizing that the accounts drying up is out of their control, but I need work and my family is counting on me to bring in a paycheck.  I've been waiting for work for five months.  Would you wait that long?


Well I guess I should have said good company not job. No I don't expect someone
to just hand me a good one. I am very capable of finding my own jobs. And for your information, I have a good full-time MT job that I have been with for the past 4 years. I'm looking for a part-time job with a good company. Sorry I hit a nerve with you. That is exactly why I have never posted on these boards. Ask a simple question and get snotty answers!!! Have a nice day.
I guess 17 years of ortho exp. isn't good enough for them

LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.

If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
Thanks.. I really needed to have good family coverage.. I guess MDI is out for me.. nm

I guess the real test will be if the adminstrator removes the ad as a scam. They are very good at
looking after us and do try to help us from getting scammed. It also is incredibly sad the because of the state of the our profession when an ad like that does post so many people flock to it. Maybe, it was some kind of sick joke because things like that usually do not exist in our profession. Really gives me a red flag kind of feeling but you never know. Maybe it is a case of a company being started by MTs who have also been where we all are and want to make a difference. We havent' lost our ability to dream, have we??
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

Hey, are you from Idaho too? Good guess huh? Just curious. I am in Idaho.

I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
Then get an in-house job so there are no
your current position.
In house?

Just curious if that had at-home transcriptionists.  Sorry, I dont know about their testing, but I had thought about applying there before also, so will watch this thread.


In-house
Never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I would love to get back into a hospital.
In-house only. sm
They listed the opening on MTjobs.com. Check there for info.
In-House
Yesss...and that is one of the reasons hospitals began outsourcing..
That's in-house only. Tried that already... nm

If you are in house, and they are (sm)
having trouble with the home people now, chances are excellent they will continue to have the problems when you go home until they get someone out to fix it.  If all the home MT's are having trouble, then the clinic needs to get someone in to fix it.  Maybe you might have more to say about that while you're there.  Once you go home, you're stuck like everyone else.
im a in-house MT, BUT
I might sound sneaky and dishonest, but I really think that whether you're an IC or employee, they have no say. Unless it's in the contract. But then again, I really don't think they can find out. I also work for a private office consisting of 4 docs who also dictate for the hospital. That friend whom I mentioned who used to work for a vendor AND our hospitals--she now has her own business and I work under her also as an IC in the clinic setting. Our boss doesn't know this because the 4 docs I type for also dictate for 1 of our hospitals. I fear the conflict interest issue. I make $22 by the actual hour plus incentive for the hospital, but as a single parent, I need more than that. I really don't know if I could get in trouble because during my IC shift, I'm not typing for the hospital.

Good luck, I know where you're coming from as far as really wanting just 1 job but needing to live, pay bills, and eat.
in-house
I left MQ after 20+ years to go in-house. I assumed I'd take a pay cut, but because of all the changes at MQ and constant lowering of pay, I decided I'd trade the money for some security. I was totally surprised that because of my experience, I started at more than $20.00 an hour, plus shift/weekend/holiday differentials and great benefits. I did have to change my schedule slightly (working afternoons/evenings) but again the differential comes into play so made it worthwhile. Only work 1 weekend a month, no holidays (unless I want to) and the pay is hourly, no production, no worries about NJA. The future of making a living with the MTSOs seems to be more and more uncertain so in your shoes, I'd definitely look into going back in-house. Also my employer now sends their MTs home to work after training and I think a lot of other hospitals are looking at doing the same thing. I know it will be an adjustment for you not working at home, but I've never regretted it for a moment.
in-house MT now
Four months ago, I started work for a local hospital and couldn't be happier. I've been a Transcriptionist for 33 years, and this job has been a God-send. No stress, no minimum line counts, paid hourly (excellent pay) exceptional benefits, low cost health care. I had been an at-home transcriptionist for 10 years, and the work had decreased to the point that my last pay check was only $500.00 for a two week period. I was facing foreclosure on my home. On my interview, the director informed me that they had an outside company, but decided to bring transcription back in-house to be more cost effective for the department.
What planet are you on? Put your name on here so the OSI hen-house
among each other?  Sorry, but you need a reality check.
They must have cleaned house, then. sm
This was a few years ago. However, anybody can do a search of these (and other) boards and find that this was (and I think continues to be) their reputation.
Work in house
I currently work in house for a hospital in Maine who is going from pay per hour to pay per line
Ops are being kept in-house more and more. Lucky to get the few that come my way. nm

Any info. on Transcription House in Arizona?

Has anyone ever heard of or worked for an ENT position for a transcription house?  I have seen this posted a few times and have applied before but this is the first time I have had a response back.  Just wanted to know if anyone knew anything??


 


Thanks in advance.


Oh, they do that at your house too - I once mailed (sm)
2 gift cards from my home mailbox to 2 different parts of town.  Neither arrived.  Tells me something about the P.O.  Mail delivery on my street is absolutely the worst!  Thankful for Direct Deposit.  I would let Deb know.
There's an in-house MT job in Wichita, KS, in the
s
I was hospital in-house for 13 yrs
and only did radiology. There were gals who did basic 4 called the MR people.

Pathology, orthopedics, cardiology and the morgue, among others, had their own transcriptionists. NONE of us did everything.

Fair question.
In-house work
I work for two hospitals directly as an employee. Both jobs I got after seeing their ads in the local paper, but would suggest to actually contact the hospitals in your area and inquire rather than wait for an ad.
She could try to find something in-house. SM
She could also post a resume on a message board and hope someone may offer her some work.


You should see the new house he just built! nm

Thinking of in-house
You're right. I was thinking of hospitals or other in-house where I know some still make $8.75/hr in South but I have a sister who makes $19.50/hr in Calif., plus incentive.
I would like to get the heck OUT OF THE HOUSE.

when they gave away my in-house, I
finally got a holiday off. I have worked them for so long, everybody quit even inviting me anywhere. This is the first time I have had Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years, mother's day, off in 21 years. Mostly just got one or two a year.
Sounds like my old in-house job, where all

Try in-house at a hospital.

Transcription House

Hi Betty, I am new to this board.  I work for a company in AZ where I live, and just recently found this ad for TH also in AZ.  I have sent them my resume and visited their website, but don't know much more than this.  If you do happen to get any info, good or bad, will you let me know as well?  thanks!


Transcription House
I worked for them in the past and had a great experience. I would recommend them.
I truly do not know of any except in-house employees, sorry! nm
