On a very good night..
like lately, I'm doing in the 1400s in an 8-hour period. I get these longwinded docs night after night. I miss the short and sweet reports and wish I'd get more ops. I'm doing a lot of ICN progress notes all of a sudden.
GOOD NIGHT...nm

Good for you Liz -- you are right, not very nice...
If these people truly worked for MDI-FL, they would know they could come to you about these problems.
It's all nice and good to have your POV
made from bad decisions. For example, while I made a choice to get involved with a particular man, I didn't chose to have him stalk to THREE different states, or have to move 9 times in 9 years, pay oodles of money to lawyers and private dectectives to protect my physical safety! Yeah, you bet I ran up my cards.

I'm free of debt since filing for BK (before the new change in laws) and I have a fresh life in a new city with no worries about my safety. I recertified the debt on my car so I still have it and the car payment, but they can no longer add late fees if I run late (hasn't happened yet). I earn enough money to pay cash for everything. On the one occasion I did need a few hundred dollars until my next payday, I went to a cash advance place and paid the outragous 450% interest for a 4-week loan.

You need to remember that instead of BK being a really long-term mark on your credit, it actually resets your credit score and within a year, you can have a better score than you ever had before. I'm already getting tons of offers to get a new car, new credit cards (all of which are shredded). But I now qualify to buy a home (never owned one before), plus get grants for the down payment...there are many perks to filing it.
That's a good one! Nice! :) nm

good for you; you'll get more from it, with good socialization,
nm
Thanks. That's a good idea and who can't use a nice pen, right? nt

Good for you! Glad you said your husband! That was really nice!

That's a good idea too. It sounds nice.

I personally prefer to have good sex with someone who is nice to me. nm

Wouldn't that be nice! Good Luck! nm

To Laurie....

Just wanted to let you know that I am STILL laughing over your post about BP pills even today.  I laughed all through work last night.  I thought maybe it was too funny because I was so tired.  But NOPE, I still thought it was just as funny today!!!!


Thanks for the GREAT laugh.      


to laurie and everyone else.....sm
I do agree with you Laurie. This is our fault. I see what you see too. However, I can't sit back and accept that the only way to make a difference is by letting things be as they are and work our rear ends off for 4 cpl or less. If we do this, I don't see the future getting better for us.

I can't speak for anyone else about how often they post or what their reasons are for posting, but I speak for myself. I happened upon MTStars because I was job hunting. I found information about what is going on and I am upset by it and trying to do something. I feel there is a strong cause here. I have since found work and by next week you won't see me post as often as I do now.

If nothing else, I think there should be a new association specifically for American MTs.

I don't know what else to say on the subject. I have been successfully shut down.
Good for you! So nice to see MTs rewarded for their hard very work dedication.

Now, Laurie --- if what the others say is what they WANT to, same for you dear...
you're seeing what YOU want to. You're not the authority to say you see him for "what he is". You see him the same as others -- for what you WANT to see in him.

You're no more superior in knowledge than anyone else. It's your opinion versus theirs. LOL
Who the hell's Laurie?
See, you don't know everything. Thanks for the belly laugh! You have no idea who I am.
in reply to laurie....sm
"You know, I used to be very, very opposed to offshoring. Then I started doing some research on it. Do you know the primary reason why MTSOs would dare upset their MLS staff by offshoring? Because this is a 24/7 business and we won't work overnight and we won't do anything "difficult" like ESL docs or harder worktypes. It's as simple as that."

It isn't really as simple as that, at least not for me. I do work overnight. I do work the hard reports. I do work the difficult ESLs. I haven't been an MT for as long as the majority of people on this forum. I have only been working for 4 years, so I take what I can get.

"Before you start protesting, ask yourself these questions: Do I work overnight? Am I willing to work overnight? Would I be willing to take on an overnight shift if it meant the difference between working or losing my job to offshore?"

I work overnight, as stated above. Yes, if I was settled in a day shift position and switching to overnight would save my job from being outsourced, I would do it. I have a 5-year-old daughter and am a single parent. I have to do what I can to get the money I need to raise my daughter. There are many MTs in the same boat I am.

"I'm sure by now, you're saying, "No way - I have (kids/family/another job/a life) that I don't want to interrupt for work." Well, I"m sorry then. Until we remember the basic reason we're in this situation, we'll never get anywhere."

I agree with you on these aspects because there are MTs out there who would not work overnight and try to avoid the difficult dictators. I think they need to take a step back and think about whether or not they really want this line of work.

"Do you want to make a difference in whether or not your company offshores? Volunteer to change your shift to the overnight. Often times, you can get an overnight shift differential, which means not only will you have more work available but you'll also make more money doing it! Look - the industry is changing; it has to. We're the ones responsible for making it this way because we won't do things that are uncomfortable or the slightest bit difficult - Do you do ESL docs? What about hard worktypes? No? Then look in the mirror before you start spouting out about offshore."

I wouldn't have posted my ideas if I didn't feel strongly about the situation. If I didn't do ESL docs, didn't work overnight and avoided the hard worktypes, I would only be reading the posts of others. I sure as heck would not offer to take a stand with anyone else willing to do the same.

I know there are MTs out there not willing to do the above, but how many out there are? I have a feeling there are more than you and I could imagine. The majority of the reason for outsourcing to another country is to eliminate costs.

I don't know about anyone else, but I feel I am worthless. When I first started, I felt that I had somewhat of an important job. I don't feel that way anymore and that makes me sad. I like being an MT. It is an interesting profession and I learn something new everyday. Now, it just doesn't feel the same anymore.
To Laurie.....Again Bravo!
I agree!

How much time do MTs dedicate to their job, who are willing to start a big, revolutionary campaign regarding the MT business to stop offshoring?

Maybe they should really work in another industry.

People who are not even ready to pay for a mentoring program? Come on! And refuse to give back the computer that was provided by the company because they worked so 'hard' and do not think that they were compensated enough? Where is their integrity?

It is a business and a f r e e market. Don't these people ever get it?

You go girl! You go girl! Loved your response!
Wooo hooo!!! 
Good idea! I'll do that now.....nm

You'll get some good tips here. sm
First rule: Use your expander. You can't use it enough. Put all the medical terms in, general phrases from basic English, words you make typos in, medications that needs to be capitalized, Dr.'s names, anything you can think of. It takes time at first, but saves you hours later.

Also, if you have to find difficult words, keep a list. That way you won't have to look it up twice. You always think you'll remember it, but you probably won't.

The biggest thing is not to let the job overwhelm you. There is so much to learn. I don't know how it is for those of you coming out of a school, but when I started with no training, it took about 3 years to really train. So don't get discouraged. It gets easier. Best of luck.
I would agree with HP being good. I'll only
is better in this profession because most won't accept Vista anyhow.  The OP might want to try a secondhand computer store and then just purchase the Office Suite you'd like.  I did this and have good luck so far knock on wood with Office 2003.
Good luck, but you'll need your CMT...
The only other way possible I can think of, and someone above already mentioned it, is have another Transcriptionist train you. That's how I got into this field. However, most transcriptionists aren't in the situation to train to nor do they probably want to. If you do choose to do online courses, I would personally recommend CareerStep... just stay away from PCDI! I have two friends going through CareerStep and they both are enjoying the course.

Otherwise, this isn't a job you can just walk up to and start without any knowledge. If you want an easy job like that where you need no training, or training on the job, try a gas station or fast food restaurant. Sorry, I'm not trying to sound harsh, just truthful. You need a lot of training before working as an MT, as another poster said, it really is like a second language! You have to learn terminology, pharmaceuticals, anatomy, etc. However, I wish you the best of luck. If you *really* want to become an MT, then you can do it!
