Proscript sent out gift cards (sm)

for dinner when we caught up a new account. Our transcription director is always writing encouraging and informative memos, though I do miss Rick's unique input.

Thank you, ProScript, for useful MT week gift (sm)

desk clock/calendar/calculator thingie, with alarm and timer.


Too bad it doesn't have a 3-minute timer button (for those who get distracted online, to limit their search time) instead of the button for the time in Karachi.  (Look it up -- I'm so confident this service will never offshore, I can laugh about it.)


Love gift cards
I worked for a company who gave out visa gift cards, gift cards to local spas, gift cards to office supply stores, and to book stores.  I also think campany logo desk accessories are a great way to promote company loyalty.  You could have a choice of different things like mouse pads, mugs, and such for the smaller bonus. 
The card should have been given as gift cards for grocery stores, etc.

Kohl's gift cards, and at Christmas I give - sm
tree ornaments (buy them at 60-70% off after Christmas at Kohl's, keep at least 15-20 on hand as last minute gifts too). This year we skipped the gifts as our school was blood sucking money out left and right the whole month of May (private school, no tax funding), so the teacher's got nadda this year, though I did contribute to the "class" give for Teacher Appreciate week which was the week of May 22 at our school. I have to buy for 4 teachers as each class as the main teacher and assistant, and I have 2 kids in the school. Gets to be a bit much, especially when I do $25 on a gift card for each of them. I think an ornament though can be given any time of the year, of course Christmas time is a bit more appropriate.
CONGRATULATIONS to Lori F. on winning one of the MDI $100. Gift Cards!

Did 3 last minute gift cards yesterday and the stocking stuffers! DONE! - nm

Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly.
I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.
Proscript
Proscript is a great company to work for!

Best company around to work for
proscript
Just started with proscript and am still on QA but love it - they are fair and all parties are wonderful to deal with. 
ProScript
Never heard of this company.
Where is it?

When you are happy with a company for so many years and things all of a sudden start getting bad it is time to look elsewhere.
Proscript
Anyone heard of Proscript or currently work for them.  Any input appreciated! 
ProScript
I work for them, and I LOVE this company - they are GREAT!  You won't be sorry if you accept a position with them. 
Proscript

Can anyone out there tell me how user friendly Proscript's platform is and if it is easy to attain your desired line count.  Any information appreciated.  Thanks!


Proscript Pay

Hi, my name is Laura also - I posted the first message, but not the second.  I was always told NOT to share my line rate info - therefore, would have said check with the recruiter.  Obviously, another Laura is giving out incorrect information.

Great company - great people! 
Proscript
My husband and I are both MTs. He got into ProScript on the last hiring boom which was at the end of last year. I'm in line waiting to get in with them when they have more work.

So far my husband is very happy with them. He is an employee (with benefits after 90 days, for which he just became eligible), and he can work whatever schedule he wants (M-F, T-S, etc.), as long as he maintains a full-time line count.


Proscript

I worked for Proscript for 3 years, but was laid off due to not enough work. I am waiting to be called back as it has been close to three months now...I am hoping work picks up soon!!! I would hope that they call back the people they laid off before they hire new employees.

Nice travel alarm, plus looks like there are drawings this week for other stuff. Co gives out $50 prize monthly in a game as part of continuing ed.
Try ProScript...been with them for almost 2 years...sm
and have never run out of work - even during holidays. Great company to work for.
Feedback on Proscript?

Hi, again, O mighty MTs! 


I don't know where I found it, but somewhere I ran across a company called ProScript out of Florida.  Does anybody know anything about them, good or bad?  Enquiring minds want to know...


ProScript lin rate

I suggest you contact the recruiter as the line rate mentioned here is not correct.  It's always better to call a recruiter because that is where you will get the most updated information.  Email employment@proscript.com.


 


anybody working for ProScript

Anybody working for ProScript?  Could you give your opinion.  Thanks.


ProScript Outsourcing
ProScript does outsource to India !.  Please see my post under ProScript "company board".
Been working at ProScript for a while and love it...sm
Platform is very similar to Word. If you have high speed internet you could probably get 1200 lines done in 4 hours or so (I guess that depends on how fast you type, though). I don't have high speed, but software tells me my typing time and it is usually between 3-1/2 and 4 hours for me to get 1000-1200 lines done.
cards
I just replaced my sound card, as well. I like the updated version of creative sound blaster... SB X-FI Audio. It is expensive, but worth the quality sound.
air cards
I use a Verizon wireless air card and it will not let you use a router. I can obviously unplug it from one pc and use it on another but not at the same time on both.  I had asked about this when I signed up for it and they said that you have to have different cards on different computers to be able to use at the same time.  I hope this helps. 
Anything I should know about sound cards.
:
credit cards
Don't charge unless you can pay the piper.
credit cards (sm)
Yes, this is what I am referring to.  I have been receiving these notices in the mail lately basically stating that the credit card companies can do whatever they want, i.e., raising interest rates, miminum payments, etc.  This was attached onto the new bankruptcy bill that was passed in October.  These changes will take effect I believe in Jan 2006.  I am getting rid of all of mine.  I have a good FICO score of 765 and have opted out of these new changes with the intent of paying off these cards.  Hope everyone else is paying attention.  Happy Thanksgiving!!
Then, do not get any more credit cards,
bank in this country, go to the doctor at all, have insurance, buy a Dell computer, or do any customer service calling. Boycott .. look around they are everywhere .. ;-)
debit cards
do they automatically take the money out of your account the second you use it.  I looked at my account online and it is very low. DH has been using the DC and it has not shown any of the transactions dh made this weekend.  Just wandering if it had already took those out but hasn't shown it yet on-line or are we going to be bumbarded tomorrow.  If dh don't get his paycheck in Wed and quick me may be in trouble
Here's the way these cards work...sm
They put a hold on your account the second the card is scanned for the amount it is scanned for. The processing of the charges goes through usually within hours to a couple of days depending on your bank.

Here's the #1 pitfall of debit cards - and my fiance just learned this the hard way after I had already warned him. We went out to eat 3 weeks ago and the waiter ran the wrong ticket on his debit card. Our total was around $40. The waiter rang the table next to us which was a larger group of people and their charges were right at $100. We caught the error when he brought the ticket to be signed. His boss immediately ran a credit; however, the banking system wouldn't post the credit to his account for 3 days. This means that for 3 days he had $60 less available than he should have had available. My mom also had an episode once where she and some friends went out to eat and the waiter hit a wrong button, charging her $127.00 instead of $12.70. Sure they ran a credit right away but for 3 business days she didn't have access to the difference in the amounts. While neither of them were in danger of bouncing checks over these clerical errors, if they had been running low on funds then they would have had checks bounce and it wouldn't have been their fault. I refuse to have a debit card for this very reason. By using a credit card if there's a mistake made then at least you have access to regular cash while the correction is being applied.
USB wireless cards are available.
You can get a wireless card that plugs in directly to a USB port. Just go to any tech store. We have both Dell and Lynksis versions on various machines here. There is usually an installation cd with the device.
Sprint Air cards
I agree with the above poster, however, I know that when I visited North Carolina a little over a year ago, my cell phone coverage was terrible. The thing to remember with air cards whether they be from Sprint, Verizon or Cingular is that the speed that you get with using one of these is very dependent on how close you are to a cell tower. I have the USB air card from Sprint and can use it with either my desktop or my laptop.
I used phone cards until I got my
digital phone set up.  They worked fine, but were a pain as I would disconnect if I had to proof something so I would save minutes.  There is a phone service that charges 2.9 cents, but I can't think of the name right now. 
Christmas Cards
I send out cards, but a lot less than I used to. I used to send out at least 50, but now because of the rise in postage, I've cut it way down. I noticed last year we got a lot less cards too. Maybe nobody likes us anymore. LOL.
Business Cards

I am interested in picking up some new accounts and really want to design a nice business card --besides the usual info what else can I put on there to make a good impression?


 


Thanks for your feedback -


This is not true if you have multiple cards. sm
While it's true you need to have lines of credit to show history, NO ONE will tell you to keep open many accounts, because many open accounts represents POTENTIAL debt.
2 cards - FEMA and Red Cross
They haven't gotten to the FEMA ones, I don't think yet, but the Red Cross ran out of their cards today in Houston at the GRB after people stood in line for about 6 or so hours.   They thought there would be rioting.  Yeah, we are having a great time here in Texas.
I use debit cards and keep the receipts on the
desk until the item has cleared the bank. I check the accounts online EVERY morning and balance each while I am waiting for DQS to load. Once a check or debit clears I toss it.

This way mistakes (mine or others') can be caught before they become disasters, any by knowing exactly what the balance is I know what I can afford to spend that day.
Debit cards with logos on them
Where do you get debit cards from with the Visa or Master Card logo on them?  My bank only gives out a Star Debit Card without any logos on it. 
Business cards, referrals....

have really worked for me.  I have had to turn away two offices recently and am very happy with the work I have.  Cold calling landed me a good podiatry account and doing mailers/faxes provided two other accounts.   If your persistent, you will get all the work you want.  Where I live (Tampa)  there are so many doctors' offices!


Best of luck to you!


What do you think about sending out Christmas cards with
a business card inside to solicit for local accounts?  Tacky?  Different?  Original?  I've got a list of small locals I'd like to solicit but was waiting until after the new year.  Then I found a couple of boxes of Christmas cards that I bought on clearance last year.  Why not kill two birds with one stone?  Unclutter the Christmas box and send holiday greetings to potential clients?
E-cards are free from Hallmark (sm)
And they have a lot to choose from: funny, sappy, holidays, birthdays, whatever. I love to e-mail my friends e-cards and I love to get them too. Go to the Hallmark website and click on e-cards. You could send them to her daily or weekly or whatever.

I also think it will just take time for your sister to adjust. I think you are wonderful to care the way you do and have the concern that you have. She is very lucky to have a sister like you.
I do send out Christmas Cards...sm
My youngest was sick the other day at school so I picked him up. While he was resting on the couch, I took that opportunity to start my Christmas cards. I got 20 or so done. Will finish during this week - about another 10-20. I love getting snail mail Christmas cards and think it is a wonderful change of pace (even my next door neighbor sent us one in the mail) from getting emails all day long. This also gives my family a chance to see them as opposed to getting them via email.
Cards that say donation to charity sm
St. Jude's Children Hospital has them, it reads that a gift to the hospital has been given to the hospital in their honor. Very nice, not too personal and no hint that some return gift is expected.
