i'd be interested in knowing that too
thanks
I'd be interested in knowing, too.
I'm looking for a 2nd job, and it would be nice to find something that would be hitting in between the other job when things are getting really tight.
I would be interested in knowing

I love Emdat


Thanks in advance


Is that the same one from L&H?. Probably, knowing Teresa.

Nothing to do with knowing a specialty...SM

It's the sloppy, lazy dictators we MTs have to pick up the slack for.  If you can't understand it, it doesn't matter how well you know your subject. 


Not knowing the specifics
I can think of a lot of reasons why, although I'm not involved in any way in this specific circumstance. If the client has become too difficult to work with- impossible turn-around times, dictators with too my individualized preferences, nit-picking (yes, they do it on the hospital end, too), and an unwillingness to pay the requested rate, I can see where it would be just as easy to not renew the contract. If the MTSO knows it has new account(s) coming on or that it has enough work for the staff it has, it could easily let a difficult account go. Much the same way some transcriptionists will take easier accounts that pay less but they can type more, I would assume MTSOs make the same choices.
if you don't mind not knowing what's around the corner -
and you don't know when you're next assignment is going to be, 1 month, 2 months, etc. then go ahead and apply, but there have been too many negative things about Kforce said, and I should have listened and took note.
I don't think anything is wrong with knowing you are good...
But saying companies are falling all over themselves for her to work for them - sounds like a job hopper or someone who can't be satisfied for so many companies to be falling all over themselves begging her to work.  She must be applying at plenty of places, huh?  It just had an extremely arrogant tone, that's all.  It doesn't bother me at all that jobs are offered quite readily.  I'm a good MT also and get great audit scores every time.  I love where I work and have no intention of leaving, but if I did apply somewhere else and they were supposed to call me back and didn't I wouldn't start bashing the company.  People are busy, and when you are trying to take care of hundreds of transcriptionists, some things tend to slip your mind.  Get a grip!!
Apprecaite knowing this info. Thx. nm

So you will tell a person to join, knowing they won't

knowing the VA health system....
and what they did to me as a military widow and what the VA does to our service men and women,  I would NEVER work for a VA hospital/   Our military whom are in VA hospitals, are the ones who have gone through the Wellbutrin to stop smoking trials etc  -- you will have a patient who one week, his attending is 'Dr. Jones; he goes home and the next week his attending is this one -- also LOTS of ESLs and residents  -- the goverment as a GS position 10 years ago only paid $15k per year  -- hasnt gone up that much.  JMHO
Did you email the company about this? They may have no idea and appreciate knowing what is going on.

Also, knowledge of AAMT BOS, knowing formatting, being able to
transcribe bad/fast/or foreign dictators, your English grammar, spelling, and punctuationk, attention to detail, computer knowlege in many cases...plus just having the ability to test as fully as doing full-on radiology, op, ds, or whatever reports in any specialty...that would take so long orally. As much as I HATE all those test files, it really proves so much more than just a basic knowledge or your ability to look/Google things up.
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
Issuing a check knowing that it will bounce,
is a really silly action. This equals to giving the person a tool to go to the police. If they know that the funds are not available, they should issue a post-dated check.
And I sleep well at night, knowing I have provided

do you realize how many companies outsource without the client even knowing?..sm
an extremely high number. Do you think they can get away with this..absolutely. They advertise that the are U.S. based and higher some U.S. MT's and the majority of the work goes overseas. Wake up people, it's called business. It may not be proper, but these large companies are cut throat, particularly the overseas companies. They have struck a gold mine and they know it. Sad part is, they will always find U.S. MTs to keep the company afloat. Without the U.S. MT's busting their rears to produce quality work, these companied would fail. Why can't anyone get this? Ladies (and gentlemen), do not work for any transcription company who outsources work out of the country. Otherwise, this buyout situation will continue, and before you know it, there will be virtually no large U.S. transcription companies left. Unfortunately, we will only have ourselves to blame. Don't be an enabler!
What is wrong with a good MT knowing what she is worth and expecting to be compensated
:l
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
My mom was a lab tech, so I grew up knowing about working holidays in the medical field sm

so it is no big deal to me.  I do not have any children, so I have pretty much always volunteered to work the holidays so that others can be with their families.  As someone pointed out, when you work at home for the holiday, you can jump off and on whenever you want, so it does not really feel so much like working. 


Sorry that you are unhappy about it, but unfortunately, people still get sick on the holidays, and part of being in the medical profession is accepting that you will work some holidays. 


Hope the New Year brings you lots of things to be happy about. 



I'm interested too

I've thought about going back to Transolutions, and this looks interesting. How are they coming up with the hourly rate offered to each person, do you know? What sort of accounts? I was wondering if this was a crew of people who went around getting the new accounts started or filling in when there is an overload on accounts. Is there any special or different training? Would I be working on the DOS or Windows platform?


Any info would be great.


C-Bay has always been interested in HIS,
I wouldn't be surprised if they jump on this offer.You have no chance if C-Bay buys HIS as they don't have a domestic team! If you think HIS has too many indians, C-bay is owned/operated/managed by them!!
Also interested.....sm

Please post only if you have worked there in the last year. There are lots of negative posts from late 2004, but from what I understand, there have been major management changes since then, so I'd like to hear from those of you who have experiences from 2005.  Thanks!

Interested Too
Any other feedback, pro or con, appreciated.  Thanks!
VERY INTERESTED
Hi,
I am very interested in your company I have experience with Medical Transcription and I would like to send you guys my resume. If you would please get back with me asap. my e-mail is gsopiglet143@yahoo.com
If you are interested
in an employee status position, most require that you type a minimum of 150 lines per hour. You could probably easily find an IC position with an MTSO, they are not usually as strict with the hourly line count. Also, working as an IC allows you to work more than 8 hours a day to get your desired line count.
Sue, I would be interested...
I would be interested weekend or back-up transcription. Let me know how to contact you. Thanks!
Interested

If you were truly interested in
the job, you would find the time. Just like you would find the time to look things up when transcribing actual dictation. Did it ever occur to you that they may have been testing your research skills as well as your knowledge?
also interested
Can you e-mail me a company name or any info?
interested
e-mail dogma5645@aol.com
You would be interested in becoming an
editor for $14 an hour with 25 years of expertise in the field. People like you lower Editor wages.


I'd be interested
in what the problem seemed to be. I really don't consider myself to be exceptional. I've worked a lot of places and on so many accounts I lost count a long time ago and I've yet to leave a job because I couldn't make any money. I know people say all the time they can't get their lines with this or that company and I just don't understand it. Were you by chance doing chart notes? If so, I can't speak to that as I've never done anything except acute care.
Thanks! Those of us who are interested in this -

I'm interested.
What do you know?
FYI, if you are interested...
they handled it BEFORE Monday.  An email went out this afternoon by someone in management that it was his/her human error and an apology was issued and explanation given.  The matter is resolved in my mind. 
I'm interested, sm
Very interested, I like typed in the USA or some variation of that, as long as USA or America is in there somewhere. I am very interested. I am also in PA, but not near Philly, in the Poconos.
Where is the ad for this? I'd be interested...nm

IMO...if anyone is interested....
I think if we have to work for 3 different companies to get the equal of one good paycheck, it is time to get out of this profession, and that is what I am planning to do!!!   Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!! 
Same here, was interested until I saw that. :(

I got paid that as a new grad just 3 years ago.  I really do need a job but at that rate It's just not worth it.


Would be really interested to know

Knowledge?  Spelling?  Typo?  Punctuation?  Grammar?  Inconceivable to me that an untimed open-book test would be a problem. 


I (along with many others)  was laid off due to a merger a few years ago.  I filed for unemployment and several weeks later, before it was granted, I was invited to test to be hired back. For 10 years prior to that, with several companies, I had always scored over 98% on QA reviews, but on this test I ''passed the knowledge portion and failed the transcription portion.'' I always figured that the invitation was with the hope that many of us would not respond; then they could say they had offered us jobs, but we refused.   But when I actually did play the game and took the test, I ''failed'' because they really did not want any of us back and were just hoping I would not test, that way they could say I refused a job offer and avoid paying unemployment. 


At least, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! 


I'm interested too. Please contact me also.

I am interested in working for a
dynamic, awesome company too.
Can you give any info?
How about QA positions? May be interested.
Went on website and looks like you can only apply for MT. ?
You see, I am not even interested in the insurance
part of the job as covered under my husband's excellent benefits. I could not believe we would be dropped in pay to become an employee. Just talked to my tax person after that little shock this morning and she told me what I should sit aside as far as taxes, SS. Now, having said that, do any of you pay each year or quarterly or how?? I am new at this IC but don't want to come down in pay and then have more taken away from me. Thanks.
I am interested to find out also...
Can not even make PT hours.
