I wouldn't consider it a crap job. It is an entry position. There is not a lot of stress unless you work in ICU. If someone codes then the unit clerk has to take notes while the patient is being worked on (at least where I worked). Other than that I enjoyed it. A lot of paper work, keeping the charts in order, answering phones, that type of stuff.

Entry-level position
Hi, I received my MT diploma in August of 2004 from The Career Development Institute. My average grade was 97%. I was very excited about finding an MT position but soon discovered that I was in a catch-22 situation. I had the training and medical terminology education but no experience. Every advertisement that I found required at least two years of working experience. Is there any advice anyone could give me to get my foot in the door? How do MT's begin working when they are new to the field?
Any info. would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Jane L. Creppel

Entry level MT's
Hello.................I know all of you are tired of hearing about how hard it is to find a job at entry level. I have two certificates from two separate programs. I have been working for a clinic here where I live part time typing clinic notes. It is only about two hours per day. I found a lady on this site who said she would hire anybody if she could find somebody willing to work. I emailed her and she promised to get me started asap. That was a few months before Christmas and she still hasn't contacted me. Does anybody know how to get started as entry level. I truly need the work. My part time is paying well but two hours a day is not very much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.................
entry level
It is very true, I graduated college in 2004 and I am still looking to find a company that will hire me at the entry level.
We are more than data entry BUT...
Yes, they will still need us to copyedit and clean up the voice recognition and offshore "crude" product, but from what I've read on these boards, there's not going to be much money in this for MTs.
I too am thinking of leaving MT for another field. This summer my 15-year-old son got his first summer job as basically an unskilled laborer at minimum wage, and he was making quite a bit more per hour as I ended up getting, turning an Indy 500 ESL's mishmash into a perfect operative report. The day I learned that, I decided to start rethinking my career choices.
By the way, I'm one more experienced MT who finds it mind-boggling that people are still out there debating the merits of the various MT schools out there. Wake up and smell the coffee, people!
data entry
I agree. But don't you know, there's always someone lurking in front of their keybord waiting to belittle someone else's from-the-heart question??

Entry Level Jobs
Hi everyone! I have a quick question for anyone who has the time to answer. I am looking in to a career in the MT field. I have not started classes yet but I am going to check them out next week. I did a search for MT companies in my area. I noticed that on alot of their websites you had to have so many years experience before you could gain employment with them. If I decide to take classes in medical transcription, how likely is it that I will be able to find employment with someone on an entry level? I have heard from some people that it is nearly impossible to get a job without the experience even if you have certification. Is this true?
Shorthand users. Can you tell me how to set up an entry for...sm
today's date and yesterday's date so it will expand correctly? TIA
Add the nonbreaking hyphen in your entry. sm
Add the nonbreaking space for your other entries.
In MS Word, the shortcuts are: Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen and Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar
I'd keep the habit but change the IT entry
so that it comes out the way you want it - make it adjust to your habits.
Flyingfingers, when you add or edit an entry...SM
there's a box on the bottom left called "Tags." At the end of your entry where you don't want a space, open that and insert "No Space."
certainly not data entry or typing,
my reward, aside from pay, is satisfaction that i am doing a very specialized job in an excellent manner. after 34 years, it seems more tedious and difficult, but i enjoy the work.
Pay Rate For Entry Level MT
Could someone give me an idea as to what an acceptable pay per line rate would be for an entry level position?

Medical transcription isn't data entry, but you can
check with Career Builder and Monster and see what they have, you can Google for it and see if there is a board like this for data entry.
You need to tick the formatted option just above your entry. nm

You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry sm
Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry. Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed, you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window. Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word). When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
Is there a space or a hard return at the end of your entry? sm
that's the only thing I can thing of that would cause this. In the "text to expand" box, hit ctrl+end and this will take you to the very end of your expansion. Maybe there's a space or something there that you can't see.
I know you've been having a lot of trouble with this lately! Good luck!
Add the Ctrl + B commands at the beginning and end of entry.
You click the command button in the Add window. The manual has more instructions.
Make an autocorrect entry of bid that expands to b.i.d.
tid to t.i.d., etc. That's what I do, it works for me.
In IT, a paragraph is always in entry screen (from Wordpad). How do I get rid of this 4ever?

ENTRY LEVEL TRANSCRIPTIONIST NEEDS PRN WORK FOR EXPERIENCE
Hello,
My name is Diana Strand and I am an entry level medical Transcriptionist seeking any kind of PRN work or internship, or mentoring program available. I wish to get experience to be able to attain a permanent job. Any comments would be helpful. Thank you very much.
Diana Strand
I've yet to find the Scav Hunt entry (nm)

The Add Entry window shows up but is completely empty..nm

Well poop, I thought it was 1 entry per giveaway. Wasn't clear. nm

I guess she would have to start at the data entry site since this place is about MT.

Just create a command entry and use a short form that's fast to type. sm
This will bypass the Extext command. Make sure you put the trailing underscore at the end of your entry so you won't get an extra space from your marker key. Your entry will look like this:
{command}{Alt.}_
They won't get you any better $$ or position than you can get on your
own. They recruit for companies that already post here. I didn't accept the position because I had heard too many bad things about the company, had interviewed with the company myself previously and been offered the same thing as what TM was able to get for me and it was no better than what I am making now. The testing is very easy with TM, though you may have to also test with the company, so it wouldn't hurt to try, but don't get expectations too high.
HTH.
I too am in this position but am not quite sure what to do.
Others such as myself (from the non-paying company we worked for) have done a lot of investigating and this is what they told me--The Department of Labor doesn't care because I wasn't an "employee"--only an IC (basically an "Accounts Payable" with no real rights). I personally haven't tried the Better Business Bureau. I did think about contacting the accounts I was working for, but, after reviewing my contract with my ex-MT company, decided I would be in violation of the contract if I contacted the client.....it's a Catch 22.....I would be in violation of the contract, but they are in violation of the contract by not paying me.....I decided not to work a two-week notice (which I did feel badly about at the time), but, if I had, I would now be owed six weeks of pay, not four!
Please post if you get any satisfaction through any of these actions. I would dearly love to get my $1000+. I've never been in a situation where I had to deal with some psycho who won't pay me what is due.

Would be interested in finding out which hospitals in NY are hiring. I have been seeking a position in any hospital in Nassau County on Long Island for a while now. Any leads would be appreciated.

Thank you for that info. In fact, I work at home with a company that uses the Sten-Tel platform. I also just moved back to LI from New Jersey so I am familiar with the hospital in Manahawkin you are referring to. I think I will definitely give it a shot. You never know. Thanks again!
TRX IC Position
Depending on which accounts you are assigned, and how adaptable you are to ESL doctors in an Acute Care setting (80%), this might be a great fit for you. I have found the flexibility to be incredible as I have a 2nd grader who is my main priority. Yes, there is a fair amount of work to go around now, but between the middle of November and last Wednesday, the well was beyond dry . . . The platform is very user friendly. I started as a newbie in April, and am still at 6 cents/65 character line, so just your starting rate is a plus! Their bonuses are quite generous and attainable when there's too much work to go around. They are a small MTSO, so at times their resources (QA questions, etc...) are stretched a little thin, but they have always answered my questions. I've had some bumps along the road, but I'll chalk that up to newbie ignorance as opposed to TRX negligence. Hope this helps.
Same here. Lap is definitely the best position

I need some help. I am looking for IC position (have been
transcribing for 15 years), but I'm confused about something. I purchased an Infinity IN-USB-1foot pedal. My question is this. Some ads say a wav-player is required. Is this the same thing? I didn't get software with my foot pedal. Also, some ads say it needs to be version 5. This is the same foot pedal I used when I worked for a company recently with an internet-based platform. I have DSL, Windows XP and Word 2002. Can anyone help me understand the nomenclature here? - USB foot pedal - wav-player, etc. I'm well over 50 and am not 100% "with the program" on the technical end of things, but I'm hanging in there.
Thanks so much! 
If it is that particular one, the position has
I interviewed yesterday and she emailed me this morning.
Yes, I have been in same position
If you can prove a hardship and your new income, you should be able to do a repay plan with some money down. They will just divide the amount you are overdue and add it to your regular monthly payments, sometimes up to a year.
