Nope. I just got used to it and it wasn't a big deal.
anything on, but in the hospital I kinda liked hearing the doctors being paged, etc.  Definitely didn't cause me to make errors though.
Wasn't it something like 2 million lines a month? Just a
GYNORMOUS amount? That adds up to like supposedly 66,667 lines a DAY!! And there is no work? Where did it all go?
Yeah, I talked to them about a month ago and wasn't too impressed. sm
They told me pretty much the same thing, 2nd and 3rd shifts only.  I said no thanks.  Didn't sound like the kind of company I wanted to work for.  They sounded an awful lot like MQ which sent chills down my spine.
Anyone work for Axolotl in Mountain View? (see mssg)

If so, what are the pros and cons?  What is starting pay?  Good accounts?  Flexibility?  How long in business?  Large or small company?  etc.....



nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm
s
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.


TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


Nope
Not yet!
Nope...
I'm already in the process of getting in with another company while I can still make the change because I WANT to and not because I HAVE to. 
Nope,they have their own although sm
if you speak to tech support,they may be able to import your shortcuts into their program.
NOPE, OSi

No, it doesn't make it 10.75 cpl. I thought that it might at first, too. Look at it this way: 15.3% (the actual %) has to be paid out of what you make. As an SE, half of that is paid by your employer, the other half by you. As an IC, you pay the whole. So you're actually only paying 0.0765% more.

What I did to figure out which rate was best. SE versus IC, was to take the base rate and subtract the 0.0765% from it. At 10 cpl, that gives you an SE-comparable rate at 0.09235 cpl.
Nope. Nope and not any more
.
Nope, not that one! (sm)
The BestPRN I know of does primarily psych and has a system that prevents cherry-picking. The owners are the best I have ever worked for.

There are about twenty zillion services named PRN transcription.

Nope, she's gone.

Nope I don't.

They have their OWN accounts now using several types of software.  I only use one type of software they have, but they have 3 accounts with it.  I work on two of them.


Nope,
That is how she tests
Nope, I think it is after 2

Nope. :) nm

Nope, never have
Whenever I have applied for a job in the past, I have always submitted it directly to the employer. I want to avoid being contacted by these types of strange places.

nope. but only been one day. n/m

Nope.
I don't know a thing, except that I wouldn't want to send my personal information to an unidentified company with a rapper's personal email address as contact information. This is the business world. They can be more professional in their communication efforts.
Nope, not MQ or OSi, but...
but thanks guys for the tip - I know who to stay away from!   I have played MQ before, never ever again - don't know about OSi, but I think I'll steer clear.  This is more of a wish list and a compilation of all the negative things I have experienced over the years and just don't want to deal with again.  I realize no place will be perfect.  I'm hoping some MTSOs will see the post and pay attention - but if they are already operating this they most likely won't change their ways, nor are they likely to care - just a vent.
Nope! nm

Its you.


nope.. but maybe I should be! :)

Nope
Not even a message or card. Maybe they don't know about Christmas in India. :-)
Nope. I did not see it, but then again...
I do not always get the emails because of the problems with the server. I know they are looking for a new server. But, never got that email.
Nope!
I have only heard that there is no communication and no QA feedback. I know a person from India who worked under an American's information for 2 months submitting horrible reports to QA and she never received an ounce of feedback and was never contacted a single time about the horrible quality.
nope.
not anymore - new board! lololol KIDDING!


Nope...
I don't know how many employees they have. I wish that they would come up with a way to spot check QAs work. I have seen entire sentences deleted from my reports...I guess 'cause the QA person could not understand what should go into the blank.

I have noticed that certain QA folks will do just about anything (including typing in garbage) to make sure that the reports are uploaded without blanks.

Are you new to DSG? I know 7 other MTs there and they have all had the same problem with having emails ignored and only getting replies to emails that pertain to working extra or not working...everything else must have gone into cyberspace.
Nope, not that either. sm
They DO ask for help on certain accounts from time to time and they usually don't mind if you work those and it is not your account. If they outsourced to another company, there would be no need for this.  The work gets spread around everyone who is willing and able. 
Nope, nothing
They probably didn't even realize it. That's okay, though, they're good to work for and I get regular raises and a lot of time off. Maybe an email would have be nice.
Nope
Not at all. Still full of morons and adding new morons everyday. If you like working for pennies, just to have your hard work turned over the oversea workers than go for it.
Nope,
I stumbled on it with my fumble fingers late one night quite by accident.  I am having to learn how to type all over again, it seems, since doing nothing but 95% editing for the last year or so.  Can't seem to get fingers to move very fast yet. Hope that keys helps more than just you and me.
Nope, not at all.

Nope.
I interviewed with them a while back and asked about this as well. They basically told me that no, there is no flexibility. It may depend on whether you are covering a radiology account or doing something else.
Nope... ME TOO. nm

Nope, not my first. nm
Have been with Wmx for quite some time now.
