    Missouri MT, what part of MO are you from? i'm from MO
    i haven't seen much news lately because of working and just staying so busy!  i'm from DeSoto MO
    Hmmm let me think who could this Missouri MT be.....
    Not criminal but they may as well let us all do it. I could use the money. If the company doesn't object then why should anybody else. LOL ....
    Missouri, I feel your pain
    I had three OPnotes today from a Doc who can turn a page and a half into one long solid run-on sentence. He really dropped my $$/hr today while I had to translate his own personal language into something recognizable to others. UGH.

    I have been on the hospital account for 15 years and a couple years ago started doing vacation fill-in for doctor's offices. The word got around that I did this and I was getting more calls than I could handle. I did have to run to the clinic's office to download work on Flash Drive stick then come home and upload it, but I now have DSL and can type directly through their VPN site. It's so much nicer.
    Missouri hospital at-home MT..........
    I have worked for a hospital for 15 years. They moved us home about 10 years ago. I make 11 cpl on a 60-character line. We have to maintain a 5000 line per two week pay period quota for health insurance which is free for employees, but I carry family plan and it is 110.00 a month (hard to beat that). We can type whenever we want, no set hours. We also rotate weekly on call schedules where we go on call from Midnight Sunday morning to the next Saturday at Midnight. Just for being on call, we get an extra 220.00 that week regardless if we receive any calls, but if we do get called, we still receive our 11 cpl pay as usual. This is a 270 bed hospital with all fields and specialties and pretty well all of the dictators are great. I am very happy with my position at this hospital.

    Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
    I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
    Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm

    Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm

    but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live.  I also live in a small town so that limits my options.  I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT.  The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations.  With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that.  I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.   


    Thanks for all the responses.

    Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
    a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words ....   The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines.  This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist.   I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average. 
    LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

    Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
    unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.

    In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.

    Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!

    The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
    This is not a good choice. There are too many good schools

    that have proven their worth. Andrews, MTEC and even Career Step, but I would not choose a school that has spammed the internet in every crack there is as the one you have mentioned.  Find some graduates and see what they have to say.  Go to mtchat.com and do a search of this school. 


    Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.

    I really wish you good health and good luck!

    I know that what you are doing is a major undertaking.  Just remember that this is what you want and that you CAN do it!  It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but once you have accomplished it, you will truly know what you are capable of.  I think you are very brave.  Please know that all of us are pulling for you and are here to help you if you need it.  Go to the hospital if you are feeling at all unsure or unstable.  Don't give up because the reward will be great.  Please let us know how you are doing.


    Pulling for you!


    good for you; you'll get more from it, with good socialization,

    I agree! To be a good MT we must take the good with the bad!
    It sometimes takes longer to learn ESL docs and is a pain in the butt, but all that does not kill us makes us stronger!! I don't love doing ESL docs by any means, but if I want a job - I need to do what my employer asks of me. Take the good and bad - or find a new job! I applaud you for working with your MTs, but you really shouldn't have to! I have only been an MT for two years and I cannot imagine telling my boss that I am not willing to learn something. How rude!
    Oh, that's good! Cruel, but good! LOL!

    Good for you!
    There's a reason kids are cruel to animals and it is never the animals fault, but usually something in the environment of the kid.

    I am so glad you had the camera running, but I sure wouldn't leave that pup outside alone when you are not around. He doesn't deserve to pay for the poor parenting that kid has to endure.

    I know you are doing good for her....
    my neighbor was to the point of crawling on the floor, could not even walk...she had three dogs and did not take them outside so you can may only imagine what the inside of her house looked like and smelled like!!!!  I talked to her for about a week and she said she wanted me to be her "power of attorney", etc., etc.  We never signed any papers.  One morning I went over there and found her passed out at the top of the stairs, totally unresponsive and then, while passed out started throwing up.  I turned her on her side and called 911.  They concurred with me that either she went to the hospital immediately or they would call the Sheriff and they would take her.  Yes she was really ticked off but, again, she now says I have saved her life but I told her I knew she could make it.  Sometimes all it takes is just another person to pull us up.  One more thing, I am not a busy-body.  I have never done anything even close to this in my entire old life; but this I had to do or watch her die.  The doctors agreed.  So do what your heart tells you to do, I know it will be right.
