Split Tunnel

Posted By: Jeff Smith on 2008-08-18
In Reply to: Can't believe this! - Info ASAP please

It's called split tunnelling and it's a setting on the VPN concentrator at the hospital. You'd need to speak with someone there (or ask your MTSO to) to allow split tunnelling. It's a security setting. Hope this helps.

Maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel!

It has a light touch though. I have had carpal tunnel

surgery and am very picky about keyboards.  I was pleasantly surprised that the one they went (Dell) had such a light touch. 


Congrats on the job - I think you'll be very happy. 


Because you are tunnel-visioned and closed minded
I've stated in NUMEROUS posts that you refuse to absorb that:
1. I took no cut in pay.
2. There is no compromise to patient care.

These are EXCUSES you've developed in your stubborn mind set to fall back on as justification to refuse to do VR, rather than admit you're scared you won't be able to cut it. It's as simple as that.

You're a completely negative force and I refuse to engage further with you.

Go ahead, trot down and apply for disability. Just more work for the rest of us who have open minds and are able to adapt to change and keep up with the times.

Adios.
New, naive, desperate, carpal tunnel, slow transcriptionists... I don't know.

YES YES re: carpal tunnel, back pain, muscle tension neck,
.
Yes, they do allow split shifts,
like the poster below stated, it would still be specific time frame.       
Can you split a shift?

Sorry about all of the questions.  Have several full-time offers, just trying to make the right choice and need at least a little flexibility.


You can have a split schedule, but whatever
schedule you agree to work there is no flexibility within that schedule.  You don't have a window of time to do your work.  I find that being strict with my schedule actually gives me more time to do other things, but I still hate the rigidity and wished we had a 12-hour window.  There are days where a lot of the accounts are practically doing the work as it comes in despite having a 24-hour TAT so it seems like there could be some flexibility allowed. 
You can split the 8 hours over Sat and Sun

Diskriter with let you do a split shift

Split shifts Precyse
I work for Precyse and I believe that they do allow a split shift on some accounts. I would definitely call the recruiter and ask about it.
Transtech allows you to split your shift.

split shifts at Diskriter
Before I crossed over to the QA side, I used to split my shift at Diskriter. They have great insurance, but I'm not sure what would be considered affordable.
DIT and Proveros allow split shifts
However, I think Proveros was just bought out by Superior Global or merged with them. It won't hurt to check them out.
or she is doing all the posting because her personality split!!
woohoo!
WE COULD SPLIT (LEGAL) HAIRS ALL DAY ..
on this board.  Are you up to it?  But who do you REALLY think is going to come out ahead?   
MDI-FL will let you work split-shift too I heard...nm

Every account is different. The company is split into departments such as sm
clinic, Basic 4, radiology, ortho, cardiology, ER. Each has different accounts and each account has different specs. I know this sounds vague but you would have to talk to the office because of the differences in TAT, ESLs, etc. For instance, my account is ortho and there are no ESLs on my account. I do two docs only but my friend is radiology and she has dozens of doctors and most of them on her account are ESL (I think she is paid higher).

For insurance, it is health and can be for family. The benefits are OK but I am happy because I have steady work. I would rather have steady work than benefits that can't be achieved.
I had a friend who worked there on a split shift yet (sm)
I was told I could only work my shift hours, no more, no less. I guess it just depends on what kind of mood they are in the day you are hired.
I think it's a combination of both. Plus, the work gets done lickety-split and they -- sm
don't have to listen to doctors, floors, etc., whining about, Where's this report?  JMHO.  Heard from one of the clerks at the hospital I used to work -- reports are a mess, but they're getting done.  Mgmt thinks quantity.  Typical.  I think a big part of the problem with MT today is that those in charge are clueless about MT itself and the dedication and skills that go along with it in a quality MT that can do quantity AND quality.  They think that if you can type, you can transcribe. 
If you check the archives it is pretty well split.
..
So are you saying that split shifts are not allowed any longer?
nm
Split shifts are allowed. You can dictate your
shift within a Tu-Sa, or Sun-Thurs schedule. 
I have worked a split shift for many years, with
3 different companies.  I've never had an issue with any company.  I can't speak as to the insurance, but very few companies have affordable insurance.  Unless you has pre-existing condition you most likely can do better on your own. 
I have worked split shift for 3 years.
I work Sun-Thurs 6a-10a and 6p-10p, and I love it.  I can't personally sit at a computer for 8 hours straight.  I did graveyard shift like that once and hated it!!
been working a split shift for a month just to try to maybe get my lines in
Which is slowly draining the life from me. I can get their minimum NO problem at all if they provide steady work. However, it trickles in now and most of the time I have to wait between jobs for work. Also really tired of their dumb e-mails patting us on the back because everything is in TAT. Well, with not enough work and too many MTs, what do you expect?? I am heading for the way out pretty fast!
Yes, they do allow split shifts and they're very nice to work for

Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
I wish Logitech made a wireless ergonomic/split keyboard.

I know that DSG has their accounts split into DSG1 and DSG2 and I've noticed that the numbers for

both sides have been running a little low, may be due to the emphasis on tight turnaround time.


That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee
NT
Precyse - do they allow split shifts and what are the shifts? (sm)

I see they are hiring for 2nd and 3rd shifts.  I know a friend of mine works for a company where as long as over half your shift is in that time frame it is acceptable. 


It says they are hiring for new accounts, might be a good time to make a change.
