I don't know if you're interested or not, but there's a company hiring
radiology MTs right now.  It's not a national.  Diagnostic Imaging  Fax your resume to 843-571-2963  I don't know anything about pay rates or location, but the job was delivered to my email box.  Work from home, flexible hours, pay by the line, full time openings.
Dont you think some of the better work and ASR work goes to the newbies they are hiring lately. I
am sure it goes somewhere because I will be finished with all jobs and the next morning there is ASR work from 14 hours ago. Odd right. Where was it. Probably in another pool so we dont get it and others do. I am pooled for ASR so I would have gotten it but didnt.
Who do you work for & are they hiring?

RIU is hiring MTs for clinic work
go to www.riunlimited.com to apply.
Yes they have been actively hiring..unfortunately there is not enough work to go around. nm

I don't think thehospital I work at is hiring.
We are over staffed right now. They treated me like gold when there was lots of work. But now that the work load is low, we are not worth as much.

They opened up a new surgery center and it is its own entity as they hired their own MTs, thus that took away about 30% of our work.
can you say which company you work for and if they are hiring?
n
I didn't work for the T company, but I'd be interested
to know where you work now if you're willing to share.  Thanks.  I'm getting desperate here.
Maybe all this hiring with no work has something to do with the proposed 1 hour TAT?
Wasn't that kind of TAT mentioned in a company email?
any chance they are hiring? I did work for an office that got ate up by MQ..but I had just left.

Yes we are out of work but did you ever stop to think what kind of people they are hiring to flood
the accounts. I happen to know they AINT good and the blanks keep rolling in and are passed on to the hospitals because Amherst QA does not fill them in for whatever reason. Probably too stupid to understand the hard STUFF. I do QA and I know this is true.
funny no work; seen lots of advertisement and looked like hiring frenzy lately. nm

I'm interested in a MT Course??? HELP!!!
Can anyone give me some advice on going thru a MT course?  I would very much like to do an online training but not sure if they are legit or not.  I have some information from Allied Health which is about 1500. Is that normal?  Does anyone know of any better courses?  Is it okay to take an online course?  I have so many questions but don't know who to ask.  Do you guys get paid decent money?  HELP!!!  HELP!!!  All answers will be appreciated!!!
I was interested but...sm
I was interested in finding out answers, not listening to flaming.  You were rude to the poster in your first post.  How is that helping anyone?  No one else had to have a rude comment.  So, no I am not interested in your post if it is smart instead of productive. 
B and E. Not interested! nm

Who is interested?
Insurance companies are interested. If you are running for political office, lots of folks would be interested.
Not interested
I am not interested in your suggestions. I posted a message to the Administrator, not to you or anyone else. You don't tell people what to skip. Since we are making suggestions here...I SUGGEST that you not respond to my messages that are intended for the administrator.
I'm interested in this myself.
I would only need it to receive faxes, not send. It says that with the free account you get a non-local number versus a local number with a paid account. This wouldn't matter if the person I am getting the bulk of my faxes from is not local anyways, would it?

Also, I am referring to the efax software. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm interested

Hi, there - I'm actually in the Midwest, but have the capability to handle uploaded dictation, and am definitely interested in taking on a new account.  Do they require the MT to be located in their area?


Theresa


I am interested :) Thanks! nm
..
I don't know, but am interested as well
.
I am interested in VR, also. Which co. is this?

Interested in more than QA sm
I don't know if it was clear in my original post, but I am interested in more than QA, for instance supervisor, manager, coordinator, etc. QA would be last on my list.

Interested in tips on moving up in company.
Not Interested
I don't believe a word she says and am not interested in communicating with her!
Would be interested to know

what are some of the negatives, if you wouldn't mind sharing...I was actually thinking about applying at a state hospital, and there seems to be a lot of good reasons to take the job.  So, I would appreciate your input on some of the things I might want to be aware of before making my decision.


Thanks!


I would be interested in this as
well, if you hear anything!  I use my F11 key as well and would like to try another key.
I am interested in this too!
I have just started hearing about the EMR system.  I have heard this will do away with clinic reports, ER reports for medical transcriptionists, but it will not replace acute care.
You getting me interested!

Ok for my headings I have hpiub which will expand to "HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:  " all in bold letters.  Is this what you mean by a macro or do you mean to actually set up a macro in MS Word?


Thanks


yes, they are hiring.....
and the pay is excellent, good benefits, but I understand the supervisor is a total nightmare. Lies, talks about employees to other employees, extremely intimidating and condescending, basically covers her behind by lying about employees...makes life miserable for her MTs. I believe it would be an excellent company to work for if it was not for this problem. But wanted some feed back on things others have heard.
Are they hiring or something? sm
What have you heard about the transcription supervisor. I have been looking around and don't want to get into something really bad.

Yes, take it. If you don't want it, let me know who it is that's hiring.

How does it compare with what you're making right now?


Do you know if they are hiring?
I'm also in the Memphis area.  Do you know if the hospital you work for is hiring?  I have years of experience. You can e-mail me if you'd like .
RE: Do you know if they are hiring
We had an opening that was advertised for a couple of months the first part of the year and was just filled with the person starting on 05/22/2006. Sorry.
hiring
if you live in AR, MS or TN area yes they are.
Why are they hiring again? sm

It seems like ALL accounts are under control very, very well.  Especially on the weekends, the work usually runs out for all accounts!  Why do they keep doing this?  They have cut out their only benefit of direct deposit because they don't have the SE positions anymore.  Why are they doing this? 


anyone hiring?-sm

I am looking for IC work and have applied to many MT services in response to ads posted here.  So far, nothing.  Is the job market that competetive?  In the past, I have usually heard back right away but not so now.  This is frustrating.


QED is hiring.
x
are you hiring?!
I just could not resist the temptation.  I am serious though :)
hiring
Unfortunately, at the time I do not have current openings, hopefully that will change soon - I do however bring on mostly "newbies" to give them the opportunity to earn while they learn, and I am honest with them - my rates are not the norm and are lower - but they get the opportunity to add to their resume, and gain the experience without a non-paid internship. The experienced MTs I look for when I have the special projects that pay much better. I started as an MT and can appreciate the need for experience, as well as a respectable rate of pay. When I need individuals this is the first place I come. So all I can say is keep your eyes out for it. "Newbies" who apply whether hiring or not, are always kept on file for "next-up" hiring.

BUT I ONLY HIRE US CITIZENS, AND I DO NOT OUTSOURCE. I do not affiliate with offshore companies, do not want any contacts, e-mails, etc. I do just fine with the American "newbie" or experienced MT.

I will however, take every opportunity afforded to me, to bring the work back to the US, by showing their clients that American is the way to go, by offering information on the pros of the American MT and the cons of offshore companies. Even if it means I offer a low rate to sign those US dictators who currently use offshore companies or use companies who send work overseas - and believe me, eventually they all come back, sooner or later, I just want it to be sooner.
I just don't think if you are hiring ICs

Time and time again I see this as a complaint by MTSOs that an IC is not doing the work, but an IC does have a choice to refuse a job.  If I had to sub my clients, then I would find someone who would do overflow or could fill-in when my regular ICs cannot commit.  I would also have a work pool and not assign work.  As an IC, you cannot then expect the MTSO to always have work for you either. 


I work as an IC with my own clients, but I also work from a pool with an online company.  It works very well for me.  I either can work and take the work or if I can't, then someone else is trained to do the work.  No harm done for either one of us. 


The bottom line is in assigning work to an IC that has the choice to not work if he/she so desires.  If you are looking for a commitment, then you may be better off hiring employees that will need to be accountable. 


on hiring -- sm
If you hire employees, you do not necessarily have to become *incorporated*, but you will have to get a tax ID number, which is not difficult, and prepare 1099 forms for your employee, so they can report their income at the end of the year. You do not necessarily have to open a commercial bank account, but it would be easier for you to keep track of your expenses and payments to employee. Whatever you have paid your employee over the year, you can also deduct from your taxes, as well. You can become incorporated if you so choose, as it is SUPPOSED to save you tax dollars, but I have yet to figure that part out. Hiring an accountant may be in your best interest, as well, unless you have the time to keep very good financial records of all of this. good luck to you.
are they hiring?
do you know if the full time job you have at 12 cpl is hiring at this time? or even the part time job? you can e-mail me if you like. thanks
Not hiring?
Have you guys tried calling these companies to see what their reply is? I would be interested to see what they say.  Also, go on the job boards and try maybe a small company that needs help versus a large national.  You might have better luck there! Good luck!
Do you know if the p/t is hiring?
That would be great to just work whenever.
anyone hiring new mt
I worked for a company for six months transcribing Orthopedic and some Radiology. I worked about 50 hours a week. my biggest paycheck was $368 for the entire month. The QA person kept telling me that I was doing great for a newbie and that everyone goes through this and I will be making good money soon, I just have to be patient and stick with it. I did not have any medical spellchecker or Instant Text, (which I do now) and what was also difficult was I was taught the AHDI Book of Style and they did not follow that so she kept telling me it was wrong. I really enjoyed the Radiology, wish I had more experience. Do you know of any companies that would be willing to take a chance on a newbie, mentor me along the way, I am willing to train on their platform for nothing just to get my foot in the door. If so, catglad@att.net
they are hiring but..
worksource Florida's website doesn't allow your application to go through, so who knows what is up with that.
I'd be interested to know if you have the facts on this
Not flaming at all, just would like to know what goes on, what they're not telling us.  I've seen documentaries on how humanely they do it, by injection for cows and they give pain relievers to chickens.  Am I being naive here?
Thanks, i'd be interested to learn more

Butting in here... I am very interested in sm

this.  Is it hard to learn?  I know I probably sound ridiculous but I take it we just have our headsets on and dictate what the doctor dictates, right?  Can you edit as you go along, such as putting in addresses and such?  This is intriguing to me.  Does it end up saving you lots of time in the long run? 


Thanks for any information you can provide.  I would love to have one of these, I think.


To snowbunny and anyone else interested...
You asked what line rate I thought my experience and expertise was worth. Realistically I would think anywhere between 13 and 15 cpl. Of course, that would put me back to where I was nine years ago! Forget inflation, I would be happy to have my old radiology clinic back at that rate but, wait, they are now paying a large corporation 8 to 10 cpl. And, the corporation is paying someone in a third world nation a pittance of that. However, for the Transcriptionist in the third world nation the salary is great! Perhaps we should be happy that we are doing our best to bring these third world countries into the main stream. While that sounds sarcastic, it is not completely sarcastic. I do not begrudge the transcriptionist doing the work. I am just tired of Corporate America paying the executives exorbitant salaries with "golden parachutes" and leaving the worker hanging. Executives can ruin the business, trash the name of the company in the news and still be handed a bonus in the millions! Sure the upper management should be paid more for the responsibilities they bear, but 500%, 1000%, and more?! This is happening in every business - not just ours and I believe it is the main reason that we are losing business to other countries. American companies cannot pay American workers what they should be paid in order to live in our society as long as they pay huge salaries, bonuses, and buyouts to their failed executives. Perhaps executives should be paid only if they produce and the company is successful ... kind of like a ballplayer! Start losing money and you are out of work! But wait - that will only cause them to fire more American workers and piece meal out the work to people who can live on less. Where are we going wrong? Yes, we need corporations to make a profit, yes we need to pay upper management for their skill and expertise, but shouldn't we (the collective we) try to keep American workers working???
