Sharmz, I would really appreciate any update. I think that would help me a lot in deciding which way to go. Thanks so much for your post. Good Luck on your new position.

I sent you an email; but I'd love to hear about this - sm
radio receiver thing. How does it work? What do I need to get it? We have a huge radio antenee on one side of the house that the previous owner used for some sort of radio transmitting, ham radio operator or something like that. Love to learn more and see if this is a way I could get high-speed.
I would love to hear which companies would pay more.
I applied for several but that was the best I could do.
Paladin Retrieval? Would love to hear from
Do they pay timely? Direct deposit? Any info is appreciated.
Definately call. They will love to hear from you and

I love it.. and I see and hear a lot of positive things...
I do not know why the poster below says to get everything in writing; I have been a part of Transcend since 2003 and I really do love it. No issues, good communication, good pay. I have been in this industry a long time and have heard (and seen firsthand) a lot of horror stories. You cannot please everyone, but my experience has been very good. Feel free to e-mail me directly
Now, did you hear me say I didn't love him? I just have a man who wants to pamper me and why not.
I have my own money too kiddo, I'm not that dumb! I have a great man and a great life here and I'm loving it! Lots of love, lots of free time and more importantly, not slaving at the computer for peanuts!
Anybody work for PMSI? Would love to hear your experience.

Let's hear from the MTs that love their companies, their jobs and have a great line count
I love where I work, happy with line count, happy with earning potential.  Love being an MT and working at home.  You???
I would LOVE to hear opinions on Enterprise platform for Webmedx&for Shorthand.See msg.
Thanks so much!  Does anyone know if Instant Text will work with Enterprise also.  The recruiter who offered me a job was fuzzy on that.  Any webmedx employees who would like to E-mail me opinions, etc., I would deeply appreciate it
I've used both PC SH & Instant Text and they are comparable ... would love to hear comparison (s
Shorthand (or my version of it) seems to have a compatibility problem with the Bayscribe platform Expander ...so I just use ShortHand (I don't know if it's just my quite old version or not) ...

I switched from Instant Text to Shorthand when the in-house Meditech job I was working agreed to install Shorthand for the department.

I believe they both have 90 day or some such downloadable trials.

If you have more than one computer, it's not a bad idea to buy the disk and documentation so if you need/want to reinstall it, it's there ... though that may be old school thinking on my part.

Good luck.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't. 
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
 
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse.  I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl.  Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits.  Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to.  I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. 
Hear, hear! Read My Opinion's opinion.
Regarding Wondering's question, the company I work for is investing strongly in upgrading its MTs' and editors' skill levels (exactly what this says about need for us for ten years down the road I can't say). This morning I found an e-mail saying they would pay every one of us to attend an on-line class on making Expander macros to increase our productivity. Amazingly, I have to assume many employees were choosing not to attend the unpaid ones they had been offering...
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!

Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!

Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
I hear you.

And it ticks me off that they refer to these people as "medical editors."  If these people are medical editors, where are DC notes sent now, to GOD?


Just seems to me they're trying to reel people in by pumping up their egos, offering them jobs as "medical editors," when in fact they probably wouldn't qualify for job as a legitimate medical Editor with any other company.


Lofty titles don't mean much if your wallet is empty.


 


Would like to hear from other ST L MTs...

Hi, would love to network with St Louis MTs... I'm about an hour south... would love to work directly for the hospital, tired of services!!!


suz


I hear you there.
That's also the ONLY reason I stuck with them. I have kids at home, at college and a husband who travels and makes a hell of a lot more than I do. Guess whose schedule is always getting stepped on through no fault of my own....that's right mine. And once I go live on DEP where they can track my every move I don't want to spend every day avoiding my phone. And I NEVER received any questionaire from them asking what my needs were. And I answered the phone and it was just to tell me the packet was in the mail.e
From what I hear about OSi
it is the same as always, amazingly unqualified people in charge but if you don't mind that and the fact they send jobs overseas while some MTs sit here twiddling their thumbs go for it.
Because you will never hear the same
If you can't learn their voices and genuflections, how can you build up speed?
Since when? From what I hear,
...
I hear you!
I can't seem to make any money on this platform and I've been here almost 1 year! The dictators are horrible -99% ESL.
Where did you hear about them? nm

you might not want to hear this, but

Let me first say that I believe that there is a reason for people phrasing things a certain way and not getting into the specifics...... probably because it would take entirely too long to do!!! For instance, when I first read the part about does Spheris offer a computer, before I even read the response, the FIRST THING that entered my mind was Yep, and heartache too! only to open up the thread and see it there!! How funny!!


I would be glad to tell you at least a couple of reasons why I encountered heartache. And please, I know that there are some that are reading this that work for the company and if you have not had the experience I had, please do not insult me nor my intelligence by making idiotic comments that have nothing to do with my individual experience, which you most certainly would not know about unless you HAPPEN TO BE me!


Anyhow, I worked for Spheris for aprx three weeks. During that time, I was informed, only after I had accepted the job, mind you, that if my QA was not 98% in ( I believe) five days, that I would be fired. Now, mind you, I am an experienced transcriptionist, but when you have had several jobs that teach and do things differently, it is kind of hard to try to reprogram your mind in five days! By the fourth day I was stressed out and making more mistakes than I ordinarily would have. However, I did make the 98%. Well, after that, I was finding that I was ALWAYS short of work and on Mondays, I was lucky if I got one note at all. Yes, paycheck was horrible. Well, the last straw for me was when they magically decided to trim down the pay for everyone on that specific account. Not sure if it was across the whole company board or not. I finally had had enough harrassment, lies, and disappointment, and it only took me three weeks to get there!


Anyhow, I say that to say this. All of us are  grown. We know what you need and what we don't, what we can handle, and what we can't. Ultimately, we have to make the decision and live with it. I wish all who happen to work there all the best, and hopefully things are different now.


Be Blessed!!!


I hear you...and ...
it is not just in our field it's our clothes, our cars, our applicances, just about everything.  Look at the tag on a garmet or picture frame, or stuffed animal you have.  What does it say?....this is horrific for the future of this country!!
I hear ya.
I worked for them last year on radiology account. Pay is very slow....never know when you will get a check. I had to call twice for W2 this year. Quit last christmas because check should have received prior to Thanksgiving was mailed after Thanksgiving, no phone call, no email, nothing just mail checks out late. Require high degree of accuracy from MTs, but office people, that is another matter.
Sorry to hear about that.
How long have you had the computer?  Is there any way you can bring it back and at least get part of your money back?  Wow.  Sorry to hear about what happened.
Where did you hear about this?
I work for Amphion and haven't heard anything about it???? Are they telling you this or did you find out some other way? Just curious as to what the plans are. I've only been there 1-1/2 months but have been pretty happy and satisfied so far.....
I hear ya! I am right here with you. sm
Melissa is my manager too. They could have let us know a long time ago. They knew... what about the 4-6 months they were 'investigating options'... they didn't have the balls to tell us then that we should start looking? Such crap! I'll work with you to do anything we can to get them off the map. We should email the clients!!
I hear ya! -
Been at TL, then MQ for 15 years. That makes it tough. But with the changes, this is definitely not going to work out long term. Good luck to you!
Any one hear of CMT?

Anyone ever hear of CMT.  I think they are in 813 area code somewhere.  Thanks.


Hear anything yet?
I was considering applying for part time work as well.  Have you heard anything yet?
How do you hear anything there? sm
I've been there nearly a year and hear absolutely nothing from anyone! No communication whatsoever. At first it was strange as I came from a company who emailed us multiple times daily, switching to nothing. Now I'm kind of used to it I guess. I do wonder how anyone knows anything there as there are no emails!??
Hear hear! (sm)

Actually would like to hear from

on how it is to work for Precyse at this time.  Thanks!


You are better off when you hear
are receiving the pay on time.  That's all that really matters.  If you are hearing negatives then you need more training.  If all is quiet then usually all is well.  As for the coffee mug... well... I'm at a loss for words.   I don't need a coffee mug to fill me.  More money would be great but there's always someone out there who will work for cheaper in any industry not just this one.  Maybe you shoud go into journalism.  However, when you write a book, usually you'll need an Editor and from what I understand they are brash as well.  Find new clients/jobs because dwelling and writing stories like this will not gain you the attention you obviously require.  JMO.  Good luck in your endeavors. 
sorry to hear that

good luck to you guys.


 


Then I will have to hear it that way. . .
from the person who said I was off the account. If that was you, you need to e-mail me.
Hey, Im sorry to hear...
about that. I know when reputable people start leaving a company, you cant help for feeling helpless and antsy.
If you don't do well you may never hear, but

response time can vary depending on if they are actively hiring and how many resumes/tests they have gotten.   The longest I've ever had to wait was 2 days.  


where did you hear about pay cut?
just curious
