but if that is the pittance they offer for pay, I'm glad they saved me the trouble of turning them down. Pretty soon, scrubbing toilets will pay more.

I was offered 8 cpl w/years of experience. He wouldn't say if pay would go up if I didn't take

I've sent resumes twice over the years and never heard back. Have experience, too. nm

I assumed it meant you didn't need years of experience..what does entry level mean to you?

Feel lucky you didn't get a rejection email. I have over 16 years experience
and this is the first test, since the very beginning of my career, that I have not passed. I am stunned. I'm not perfect by any means, but this is the first real rejection. I understood it early in my career, but after all this time, and working the past five years doing acute care for a couple of nationals, I get turned out by this company because I failed the test and they do not even tell you which part. I needed this job, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Apparently, you got a call back.. Not me.. over 9 years of ortho experience and nada
Oh well, best wishes to you. Let me know how it goes once your through the process. I had asked before about information on them but no one seems to have any.
Watch my back..!?! I sure hate that feeling.

I have been there 4 years, and I am getting the same feeling. I even SM
asked someone about one, well someone who is not one of the real upper people. She did say they were not trying to get me to quit, but I do know that I am one of the higher paid people also. However, I work every weekend at least some, and I know they appreciate that. It continues to be a scary thought to know that there are not all that many accounts. I have just secured a PT job with another company as backup, or income security as I like to think of it. And I have had the opposite experience with calling for work after 3 p.m. -- I have great luck with this. It's not particularly my favorite time to work, but if I don't have any plans, I will work during that time to get lines, and they are very accommodating to me in the office. Of course, maybe they're used to me calling LOL.
Sheesh, that's awful. Glad I didn't waste my time testing, had a feeling....

I tried Vonage a while back, but I didn't think it worked very well at all and got rid of it.

They didn't charge me for sending it back
I thought they were pretty nice about it and my final check was deposited as usual. They are ethical people. But the demographics will kill you.
She didn't. Evidently you need to go back and reread. nm

She didn't say she expected to be thanked back
She just said they didn't respond. I think Miss Manners would say that the proper response to thank you would be you're welcome.
Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
name either. Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company. Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road.
I didn't work there way back in 2005, so
I can't comment on your personal experience, but for me in 2008:
1. If you run out of work, you are paid downtime. You can do backup acounts also. Not sure about the written consent but there are a lot of us who work on other accounts.
2. Sample reports: The program allows you to bring up previously typed reports by experienced MTs by doctor, patient, report type, etc., so the MT has endless samples.
3. Supervisor currently, from what I can tell anyhow, has a lot of contact with hosital including informing them of problem dictators and other issues that directly impact the MT's production, etc.
4. I think they changed the insurance to cover out-of-area employees, but don't quote me on that.
Personally I've had a very good experience with the FL account. Nothing is perfect, but I'm very satisfied.
Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

Didn't have any "attitude." My experience
I have the experience and my skills are very much in demand.
This was my exact experience so I didn't
x
I wish they didn't require 5 yrs experience ..
I've only got a little over 3 years.
I didn't experience the same with Transcend...sm
I trained 2 days after I completed my paperwork and have 2 accounts. I rarely run out of work and if I do - if I take a 15 minute break and go back in there will be work there.
Awful experience with them. I didn't
have to buy Word because I already had it but the QA person was horrible and very rude. She kept telling me to use the samples but the samples made absolutely no sense. I'd get reports back with things filled in that I knew had not been dictated. I was trying to transcribe what I heard and pointed that out but was still told to use the samples. Horrible experience and knew it wasn't going anywhere so got out. Very happy in my new position without the QA rudeness.
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Are you talking about the one with the 2 radiology jobs? I didn't hear back either...nm

Oops, sorry - I changed my name back three or four times but it didn't "take" nm

Okay. Don't say in a few years I didn't

I didn't have the best experience, but it was not a good fit for me. Still waiting to get

They were doing that years back when I sm
worked for them. Same as you, though. The CPU was new, monitor brand new. The speakers were new. Then they sent this grody keyboard and a pedal that wouldn't even go down because there was some kind of hair (??), maybe cat hair, under the pedal. I am really allergic to cats, so I had to call them and tell them to send me something without hair.
Was offered 8-1/4 cpl for experience. They use MT World software. Didn't take the job. nm

I have said it for years! Back in the early
90s when my employer tried to do a business meeting with us then and did not say a word about the variable fonts, I asked the question because I do that. I think to ask when I know the outcome is the bottom line. I knew true type fonts were variable and could produce double the amount of characters on a line depending on the font. So, I asked the question in front of all their employees...so what do you do when you are transcribing more per line Mr X...is that such a deal for we MTs? I did the math on how much more we would be transcribing per line and as opposed to the 60 characters we are getting paid to do now with our standard pitch font, the change of fonts can reap as much as 123 characters per line. That's basically how I phrased the question. He evaded the question and then on the elevator leaving the room (that was a full elevator), said to me X...you WOULD have been the one to ask that question! He lost most his employees within two months. They think you don't know to ask, but I think still the older MTs are wise to this so they do ask, but someone new into the field might not know about the gross line situation.
back some 15-16 years ago when I first started
MT, wasnt the AAMT at the heart of changing the name of 'typist' to 'medical language specialist' and werent they involved in raising the pay scale etc, because cant we do that now what they did back then? How did they do it? I remember the old typewriters and being taught by a CMT, and they told me it was not more a few years beforehand that they were just a typing pool but when I started they already had their own office, their own 'respect' in the hospital. However that happened, we need to do that again because I feel we have regressed, even past that point of a 'typist' -
My last couple of years working in the hospital setting (which then I could not wait to work at home!?) are filled with memories where especially at holidays the doctors would send flowers, gifts, candy, toasters, I mean they treated us pretty good.
Now we are treated less than human beings, this has to change. I realize the doctors do not control the money anymore, and that is a big part of it because in my opinion I think they spread the money around a little bit more than the insurance companies/government who now control it. We will never see any of it...
I would not mind getting involved, either, if you have any ideas.
Know what you mean about the coffee - speaking of which, gotta run and get mine too!
I worked for them a few years back
Never had any problem. I was on a surgery center acct, loved my supervisor. I ended up quitting to go back to an in-house job.
worked with them quite a few years back...sm
owner and her husband were great people and fair. Plenty of work all the time. I just could not get used to NOR did i like that EMDAT platform. it was taking forever for my lines to add up. I detest Emdat.
I applied a few years back
..... what an experience. I have been a psych Transcriptionist for 20 years. I tested, with basically no instructions. I formated the report as I would my other psych reports. No errors as far as terminology, English, punctuation, etc. However, she said I did not follow directions (what directions?????) as far as my formating went. She said if I could not follow directions she would not hire me. She is a trip. I wouldn't work for her for all the money in the world.
I worked there a few years back.
There are good and bad. My experience is from a few years back, so I can't say how they are now. First, they have EXCELLENT trainers and support staff. Very professional and the owner is very kind. I really liked her. The bad was that I think when I left I had about 4-5 accounts and still sometimes ran out of work. They would just keep throwing another one at me. I would learn it, and it would be low. This may not be a problem still. I don't know. You have to set a schedule and work that exact schedule if there is work but flex if there is no work. You have to have a time clock, which I did not like at all. I think they only give about 4 days off the first year and you CANNOT take unpaid time off, so I did not like that either. They may have ironed out some of those things. They are very nice people though. Hope this helps.
I took this to LD's a couple years back and

A few years back I worked for
an MTSO that asked for suggestions from all its MTs on how to make our working experience better. So I made a few recommondation, one of which was for some kind of forum where its workers could get together, get word help, share tips on the platform, accounts and difficult dictators, and kvetchz some. The response that this has been considered but voted down by management because such forums tend to become negative.
My idea had been that if it were a company-sponsored board the comments would be more constructive than anonymous bitching and ranting on a board such as this; then management would have a handle on what was bugging people, and could respond and maybe remedy some things. Apparently their fear was that people would be frank about problems they were having, others would agree, and the suits would then have no way to claim they were unaware of problems.
So we had to turn to a forum like this and management definitely monitors what is going on, yet can deny that knowledge and not feel obliged to respond or fix anything.
EVESDROPPERS SELDOM HEAR GOOD OF THEMSELVES.
My experience of "working with me to get more lines" took too long! I can't sit back and wa
Just my experience!
I worked for them about 2 years ago...didn't have to go to the office
to train though, did it at home. At the time they paid by the character...some off the wall formula to get the actual pay, but worked out to around 8 cpl so they said. QA sucked at their job, just didn't have the knowledge I guess. And management...you just don't want to work there!
It didn't when I worked with MQ, but that was a couple of years ago. SM
Instant Text works very well with DQS, though.
I worked for them a couple of years back sm
Nice bunch of people, all IC. Nice platform. Always had plenty of work and I think they paid 7 cents a line. I did weekends and always had work. I'd go back to work for them if I could. They had lots of radiology and acute care and tons of cardiac.
I have 15 years editing exp. they never called me back.
I'd not even try there again. everyone i know who is there is miserable.
I worked for them a couple of years back... SM
They are a pretty good company to work for. Pay always on time. Work flow waxes and wanes sometimes, but pretty consistent. I liked them. Only reason I left was to take a job in the office which didn't work out. I'd go back to them in a heartbeat if I didn't need bennies.
Be careful, this is how it started with MQ a few years back
when they cut VR pay. I saw a tremendous cut in pay and I did leave after really trying to make it work for me. I think the only ones who are able to earn the same or near are those on a different VR system than MQ and have extremely easy accounts with easy formats and extremely clear dictators. I actually think you need to be a more experience MT to do VR reports well and I'm sure lots of inaccurate info gets through because of just reading and not really transcribing. I did it for many years and it sure didn't progress for me, only less money to do it.
And to think a few years back, I considered moving
Interesting that they're being fed the same line: 'Not enough medical secretaries in the UK' to do the work. (They must have attended that 'MTSO-For-Dummies' workshop in India, as well.)
This Indian transcription error totally cracked me up and made my day: Below knee amputation became baloney amputation.
I sure as he11 hope I never have to have a baloney amputation......
I have experience and never heard back from them. They're a Sten-Tel branch. nm

Webmedx didn't about 1-1/2 years ago. Good luck. nm

7.25 cpl - 12 years experience

With how many years of experience ?
x
I have 18 years of experience and yet
I got sent a letter telling me to reapply when I had more experience.
They would not tell me what I missed on their testing. I know I did not do that badly.
You can have them.
I have 20 years experience....
they wanted to pay me $10/hr for the first 30 days. Puleeze.
And how many years experience do you have?
nm
I have 10 years of experience, that's how.nm
