I think he is referring to range of motion when he says 5,0,8,0,3,8,2????

I second that motion
Brilliant. They hear what they want to hear anyway. If you have it in black and white that it is 10 cents for 55 characters that is being honest. All they will notice is that it is 10 cents. If 10 is the magic number this way everyone is happy.
I second that motion.
I'm also from the south. I sorta like Bucky when he sings but not when he speaks. Not feeling that hair either although it is much neater looking since the stylist worked on it. I'm more irritated by Kellie though than Bucky.
I second that (e)motion.....*lol*...nm

I second that motion!

I second the motion on AVG. I used to have it and -
liked the free AVG better than the McAfee I currently have that with my new PC.
Motion Sickness
I am one of those people who absolutely cannot read while in a car. I also cannot ride in the back seat (reading or not reading), and I have to avoid any and all motion simulation rides at thrill ride parks.

HOWEVER, my husband and I recently made a 3-1/2-hour drive to visit his family, and I worked in the front passenger seat the whole time and wasn't bothered one bit. It was a little tough to get situated at first, but once I got everything in a comfortable position, it worked out perfectly.

I'm not sure what the difference is, but there certainly was one in my case.

Hope this helps!
I second the Mr. Clean eraser motion
My son recently got black permanent marker on my wooden kitchen table . . . amazingly, the magic eraser rubbed it right off. I have used them for textured surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom before also and they "work like magic".
They sounded awful and were all moving in slow motion.

Interesting article on MSNBC regarding repetitive motion strain and malaise.

Pay range here is $13 to $19 ...
depending on experience, with a 1200 minimum per day line count. Lines exceeding 12,000 per 2-week pay period are paid as an incentive bonus at a rate of 5 cents per line. VERY strict QA department, so quality does not suffer. Seasoned transcriptionists easily exceed 20,000 lines (therefore make an additional $400 for the extra 8000 lines).  Combined with the benefits and being allowed to work on-site or at home, it's hard to beat hospital employment in my area.
Dollar range and thanks.. sm

Trying to stay around not more than 275,000.  Would like 3 bedrooms, and 2 to 2.5 baths with an office or fourth bedroom for work.  A pool would be nice.  When we were there about three weeks ago all the new tracts were on lotteries or about a one year wait to build.  Don't really wanna hassle with the lottery since I don't live local.  How about Palm Valley?  Is that a nice place?  What would you say is the community with the best schools.  My priority is location, schools, price, community amenities, not too far from everything so hubby does not have a monstrous commute, etc. 


Thanks so much for answering, it is really nice to get opinions from people who actually live there.


 


I do all ER work and am in that LPH range. nm

That is a fair range...sm
I make a bit more but cover everything, not just any one thing. Hourly is the way to go to keep anyone as there is a LOT of time involved in trainng MTs, time to write feedback, etc., which I would guess you know assuming you have been doing it yourself up until now.

I have worked line rates in the past. Anything less than 0.06 you cannot make a living on unless you work 15-20 hours a day as the accounts would ALL have to have perfect dictators and your MTs seasoned on the well side to make a reasonable living in the MW.
I have looked around and the range for pay is
.60-.75 and the range to charge if you own customer is .80-.95. Sad but true :(
She has a really narrow range. sm
She also sings off key a lot.  Paula has been hard on her for a reason. She shouldn't be where she is.  She's very attractive and I think that has gotten her a lot of votes like a lot of the very little talent out there like jessica simpson and brittney spears, getting by on looks and not talent.  If she beats Taylor, then I will lose all respect for this show.
Salary range

The 2-year assistant degree salary starts at around $30,000 here (the same as a beginning teacher).  The PT master's degree starts at around $60,000 per year here; other areas of the country, of course, are likely to vary.   I already have a bachelor's degree; I'm going for the master's, but I don't know how long the waiting list is.  


Not sure, but they are costly; in the 300 to 400 range. If I
.werewere going to make that purchase, it certainly wouldn't be for use with transcription, but rather listening to ROCK-N-ROLL!
Do you mind if I ask what their pay range is?
Just a general range, not specific.  I don't care if a company is located on Mars either if their pay rate is good and they always pay on time.
PRICE RANGE

I think you would be very ambitious and over-reaching if you charged 15 cents a line to think that you were competing with the nationals.  It sounds like she is new to transcription and has no way to gauge what she should charge.  If she is by herself, she is not going to be able to handle a clinic account or a hospital account by herself.  They will give her over 5000 lines a day.  She needs to be realistic on what she can handle before she thinks about what she can charge them.


Any idea the pay range?
x
What's your dollar range? I live not too far from there.
l
Thanks Patti-Nice to have at least a range

Nice to have at least a range as a starting point.  The cpl you gave is close to what I was guessing the rate would be.  Thanks for your reply!


 


 


..maybe different now. Gave a range of what pay would be. Wouldn't pin down a cpl until after
s
FT range out here is 32-40 hrs. depending on company. nm
s
Agree with 8 cpl. Look at how many ads still start in the 6 and 7cpl range. nm
s
Absolutely, near the 3200+ range daily. nm

What would you say the range of pay is for a Team Lead, editor sm

and MT?  Just trying to get a feel if our pay rates are in line with the norm, too high or too low (have a feeling too low). 


Working on making positive changes.  Any input appreciated.


As background ... small national, 150 MTs, all work kept in U.S.A.  Work types:  Clinic, HIM, ortho, cardiology, radiology.  All ICs, might be looking to hire employees. 


With everyone complaining about companies, it can't hurt to ask what the norm is - the good norm :)


Everything else was within normal range, so I figured she misstated.

LOL, we used to go downtown to Minute Man because they had that "Radar Range" that they used S

for their apple pies. We were thrilled at the notion. Nobody had ever heard of a microwave before.


The biggest treat to us was getting to go out for a burger, the Radar Range was just a bonus!


What is the going hourly rate (range) for QA these days. (sm)
nm
Give them a range. That's what they do when someone asks what the job pays. SM

Just think about what you are willing to work for and go from there.  Or you can just be honest and tell them flat out what you expect.  I did that with the full-time job I have.  I decided that if I were going to go back to being an employee, I was just going to be totally honest about what I wanted.  They pay hourly where I'm at.  When the HR girl made the offer, I countered and told her what I had hoped to make.  And in the end, I got it which was pretty exciting.  Just be professional and honest.


Hourly QA seems to range $13-18/hr. with rare few making
s
I agree...$1 per minute is at the lower range...
nm
price range per line to do your own account...sm
I have a friend who is contemplating starting her own accounts.  She is questionable as to what is charged per line?  Is 15 cpl reasonable?  Do any of you know what the big companies charge per line? 
I would think acute care covers wider range

But I'm not sure myself. Would also cover OP notes more extensively and ER reports. Maybe someone will tell us both!


The going rate to charge a client for rad by an MTSO is in the $4.50 range.
Need to figure in what type of reports, etc. Never go below that - there is a lot of administrative work to do.
Incredibly it is. Check other jobs on mtjobs.com. A few are in the 9-10 cpl range. nm

Korea just fired 2 short-range missles
(that could hit Japan) and have another long-range (that could reach USA) on their launch pad. Flexing their muscles....
The range is .70 for Powerscribe editing to 1.40 for regular transcription. sm
I did a lot of research on this last year and again this past June, and that seems to be the norm.

0.70 - 0.90 for Powerscribe editing.

1.10 - 1.40 for regular radiology transcription.

I put together rates from 12 different companies, big and small, radiology only, to come up with these.

I get motion sickness and I think if you are prone to car sickness
you wouldn't be able to type in the car.  I know I wouldn't be able to at all.  I wouldn't even try it if I were you. 
Foot pedal? Going from VXP to applying for other companies. What foot pedal should I get that woul
I need one even just to test so it seems.  Thanks for the input! 
Where do you buy foot pedals for your transcription. Who has the best foot pedals for sale.
:
Can anyone tell me what foot
I have two and would rather not have to buy another if I can avoid it. TIA
I did it too, and now can't use my right foot

You really have to put your foot down.
I have had this problem in the past and just told people, including my kids, I get paid to type, not to talk. Unless there's a large emergency - a lot of blood, the house on fire, etc. - DO NOT BOTHER ME. For all intents and purposes, I am not home. It takes a while, but eventually they get it. Have a virtual wall around your office and tell them it is off limits. Good luck.
What is the best foot pedal?
What is the best foot pedal to have?  Which one is the easiest to set up and use and can be used with different files?  I already bought one but can not get it set up to be able to use.  Bought from Expresscribe to use with their program and have had no help.  Brought in a computer guy.  No help.  So I am stuck with this pedal and can't use it.  I am now looking to buy another one.  Any recommendations?
FOOT PEDAL
It is a USB port pedal.  It wasn't so much as they would not help me, I got aggravated waiting 2-3 days in between e-mails and trying things that did not work.  It has something to do with no driver.  So now I am looking for a universal foot pedal to make it easier for me to find a secondary account. 
One foot in front of the the other sm.
Oh honey please run don't walk, right out that door.  This man you live with is only in your life to beat you down with discouragement and lies.  Please do not allow this to continue.  You were created by one who counted the hairs on your head, is the God of the universe but he knows you by name.  He did not make you for destruction but for good.  Please take your children away from a person who would put them down, call them names and does not care one bit about their well being.  Begin to look at yourself for the wonderful, divinely created queen that you are, you have purpose and potential and this man is only there to keep you from seeing it.  The day you walk out the door and shut it a ton of weight is going to fall off your shoulders as you will begin to realize that he does not love you, he does not love anyone but himself.  You have to show your kids that you love them too much to let anybody (even their own father) treat them as less than great.  You are a woman and deserve to be cherished, protected and provided for, anything less is not acceptable.  Please go and as you do please know that myself and I am sure many other people out here are praying for you and lifting you up.  We stand in the gap for you!!  Now go girl and don't you dare look back.  Go and be fabulous!!

I have a converter I bought from Radio Shack - I have one that converts USB to 9 pin and another one that converts 9 pin to USB
