meaning
It is Latin and means "without delay", or "immediately."
meaning??
??? not clear on that.
Different take on the meaning of this
If your testing did not qualify you did it ever occur to you that you did too well? Perhaps you did ace the test as you believe (I do not doubt your feelings at all), but that would mean they would have to give you top dollar, and they don't want to hire someone like that right now, or ever. Don't know this company, but I have been through this. But I go one step further. I always am flexible with my cpl rate in the cover letter, and so when I ace a test like you did they do get back to me. But, I have been offered 6.5 to 7 c/line, no kidding. Then, I say no. What do they think flexible means? Stupid! Yes. They think I am stupid so offer me a job. They know you are not stupid because you aced the test, so they say you are not qualified for their low pay scale. That is just IMHO. Sorry to take the opposite position from the other poster who says you are not as good as you think. Since this person does not know you or your skills, I think that comment may be way off base. So, don't let these things ruin your day. Count it as a blessing and find a decent place who will appreciate you. IMHO. Good luck!
Meaning and substance???
If you are an editor, you will soon be out of work.  What exactly do you mean when you say 'meaning' and 'substance'?
Meaning, you are not getting 1000....
which I thought was the requirement. I have a friend who tried them out and went days without work.
Meaning you don't get paid for it
:(
Ah, but you miss my meaning.
If she does not know that a lot is two separate words, I can only imagine the other kinds of errors that she makes.  That is so very basic.  I am not jealous of someone who does not know that a lot is two separate words.  I am not QA and I don't work for TT and I am not policing anything.  I am just really, really tired of the seeing ALOT and other inexcusable errors from people as they are bragging about their awesome quality-oriented companies that hired them.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who is tired of it. 
Not meaning to argue...
but they DID lie. They initially told me that typing was not required. Just as they will review what I type, they could allow me to QA and review what I have QA'd. Very simple.

Whatever their reasons are for requiring this - they should be honest and tell the folks to whom they make an offer that typing is required.
Thank You all and I wasn't meaning ESL accent...
I was meaning ESL who can't speak English, but make up their own form of Americanese language (broken up/half-English)i.e. physical thrappy for physical therapy and palawong is echocardiogram, therefore the whole report is a big fat blank because I still couldn't figure out how palawong sounded echocardiogram. Thank MT@diskriter, I will give Diskriter a try and I hope to get 2 accounts and stay on those 2 accounts besides rotating accounts 4 or 5 times a week. The downtime sounds like some good insurance. Last job work 2 hours and had no work so I would sit and baby-sit the computer catching job here and there for about 19 hours for 600 lines due to no work and no pay. Thanks again all.
" FOR NOW "... 2 small words with a very big meaning. nm
.
If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Meaning I sure hope the above poster
isn't a manager at Ax. That is what I meant. Obviously they must work there because they are aware of e mails.
Well, I really wasn't meaning to imply that something ... SM
was wrong with the line counts. Just for some reason, I have a very difficult time making my lines. Yes, what I am typing for the day definitely has something to do with it. I feel that the fact that I get reports from 2 different accounts mixed in with each other also is not conducive to speed. But I really brought this up, just kind of thinking out loud, that I wonder if the fact that it is a good company outweighs the fact that I am not making any money! That's what I'm trying to resolve in my own mind.

Production incentive meaning overtime
Then it would be legal.
meaning that some accounts have assigned doctors...
nm
She is meaning you will see lazy MTs while doing QA that no longer care
nm
and do you mean "THEY" meaning DeVenture or in general?
If in general, that's nothing new. If you mean DeVenture, then I'm glad I got turned down.
SC meaning SE (statutory employee) and or IC contractor.
Still looking for help on employee positions with no VR which are good. Thanks.
So, Yes, they were once OmniMed, meaning the same people. Thought so! BAD company! x

No we won't. I said slow, meaning slower than usual, should have clarified.
.
I understand!! Really, it doesn't change the meaning or context and
it is not a medical error, so why are they wasting their time on such trivial things. I call it trivial, because in my opinion, it is.

QA is for editing and correcting gross medical errors and errors that truly change the meaning and context of the document. Some QA folks are ridiculous and feel the need to be important.

I have always ignored those types of corrections. Now, if I made a big boo-boo, I would pay attention to the feedback.
You're right! Hahaha My typo totally messed up the meaning!
Yes, MQ is aware of my other position. I was very up front with them when I took their offer. Spheris probably would not be happy about my situation, I agree.

My other comments were made because no matter what I post, someone has got to be interested in what I'm doing or not doing, whether they think it is right or not, etc.

My whole post on this thread was an answer about great companies. I posted. Then, if you'll go back and look at this entire thread, I am the one getting all the virtual "you can't do that" complainers on my back.

It's not anyone else's business. One of the OPs started it I suppose with the trying to tell me I can't post on this forum because I work for Spheris and I can't use their computer. Then others chime in. Then others start in with what they think I can and cannot do.

It's none of anyone's business. I wasn't addressing any of those subjects whatsoever.

I seem to be prime fuel for the flaming activities, regardless of the subject of my posts. Even if I respond to others, 9 times out of 10 I get flamed and for other subject matter most of those times.

Hahaha, you are right in your answers to some of the other posters. You and I are having an adult conversation and understanding each other well, even if we disagree. THAT is how it should be.

As I answered you somewhere in this same thread, I understand what you were bringing to light for others who may not realize about working for more than 1 company. It is a gamble. I agree wholeheartedly.

It isn't just the competition between Spheris and MQ though. That expectation is with other companies as well, maybe not all, but most. And most, if you read the employee handbook imply that they do not want their employees on forums like this.

One of the OPs stated that I signed a contract with Spheris forbidding me to be on this forum. No ma'am. That simply isn't true. I went back and looked at everything I've signed. I've signed no such contract. There may be an implied policy but I have not signed any such contract.

I personally think that each company has really good aspects. I can also see where each could improve. That will be with any company though. As long as I am well paid and have flexibility and opportunity, I'm a happy clam.

You initials might be SD then, right?

Why not initials? No one knows just by initials
nm
why not initials
Supervisor at Spheris
Wish you had different initials
Okay, DK, I wish you would use different initials, they are too close to mine and I don't want anybody getting the wrong info!!!
my initials too
It is interesting that you mentioned a poster's initials. My initials are CLK and I have never posted anything on this board - good or bad. It makes me nervous when I see my initials attached to something I didn't write. I can only hope my employer doesn't see it.
Initials
Initials aren't allowed either. My post was pulled again.
Initials plz?
nm
Her initials are not AR
Why would someone do business that cuts the finances that close that they can't pay people?

I'm the OP. Initials are BH and, is the SM
person you are referring to initials of SL?

If they have both of those people the results should be quite good.
Their old initials were really more appropriate than

what they are using now - and every time I look at it it reminds of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - but the old one definitely fit the anti-American medical transcriptionist. 


Of course, if you are one of the 'in-crowd' you can get certified after 1 year of home training and doing clinic notes but no acute care, but after that we change the rules, right?   And of course that vast knowledge qualifies you to be one of the management staff with your all frills attached and allowed travel benefits.


 


What do initials mean?
Sorry to sound so dumb but what do those letters mean?
Could it have the initials
CSSH or CSMH?
What are the initials of these 2 women. I think I know but not sure. Why do they keep them.
:
Let's give initials only. sm
ET and SS
I will not give initials because
and I don't want the person hiring me to hate me

It must be good. It has the same initials as me.
:}
Hmm, is this all the same poster using different initials?
x
The initials stand for
TTS- Transcription Technology and Support out of New Hampshire.
What account was this for (initials?)
I would hope this is not going on here.
I know the initials were AAMT, so it
was probably All American, can't remember what the name of the other company is/was though. 
Can you post initials here?
.
No initials or names. (nm)

Oh sure. And your initials stand for
,
If her initials are A.R. you won't get paid at all. nm
cc
Says below the initials for the company are PT
The only company I know with those initials doesn't do VR.
I can't remember what the initials FOB sm
stand for but its a little thing that looks like a key chain. It has numbers that change every 30 seconds or so and you have to have those numbers to sign in to the system.

Far as the UPS label goes, they said they sent it by e-mail and yes I would have to print it out. I didn't get it. I told them to send another or have one brought to the house (that is how they use to do it anyway) and I would send the pedal back. These people are a piece of work. I am tired of the hassle. Why I messed with them a month is beyond me!
Gee, the initials wouldn't be TT, would they?

Yep, something is definitely up there... 


Please give me the initials of the person
you talked to so that we can straighten this out on this end. This is NOT acceptable and we will take care of it.
Who is the "Harpy MTSO"? Initials, please? TIA.
:-)
