Amphion in Wisconsin
Has anyone else got any feedback about Amphion out of Wisconsin? I was given this name by someone in response to my post and they spoke highly of this company. I just wondered what others have heard. Any info would be appreciated.
Amphion in Wisconsin
Thanks for getting back to me. Below is my "wish list." I have 15 years of experience in transcription and want to find a company that can offer:
1) Work weekdays from about 4 AM to 12 noon (but not assigned to a specific shift).
2) No mandatory weekends but can "plug in" on weekends and nights to make extra and do not have to get special permission.
3) Compensation by the page rather than the line if possible.
4) Assigned to one or two accounts that do not run out of work.
5) Accounts where doctors have normals (and getting paid for the normals).
6) Can use ShortHand word expander.
7) Have Microsoft Word - just a preference since I've used it before
8) Have done all specialties over the years but love oncology.
9) Prefer consults, discharges, H&Ps, etc.
10) Company provides hardware and software.
11) Paid benefits: Vacation (I get 10 days now), sick, holidays, 401K (matching would be wonderful), health insurance, et.

Obviously, this is a wish list and I can't imaging being able to find a company that can offer me all of the above, but these are the things that are of importance to me. I currently work for a service and do hospital oncology which I love, but am looking to make a change to a different service. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks for your reply. A few more questions if you have the time:

1. Did you have to go to their headquarters to train when you started or can someone who works from home be trained at home?
2. If you have to input patient name, medical record number, etc. for each report do you find it very time consuming and slows down your productivity?
3. How do you feel about the way you're treated routinely?
4. Are you happy with their compensation (payment per line, benefits, etc.)?
5. When you want to work overtime (over your 40 hour week) are you generally allowed to do so?
6. They require 12,000 lines minimum per pay period to be full time with benefits. Do you find it difficult to meet that requirement with the accounts that you have?
7. Do you like working on the Extent platform? I'm used to Microsoft Word and do not know how they compare.
8. Is their dictation usually clear?
9. Do a lot of the doctors have "normals" you can put in and be compensated for?

Thanks in advance for your time. Right now I can't think of anything else but if I do can I contact you again with questions?
Was this national in Wisconsin?
Just curious - I remember taking a radio button skills test and having to TX 4 files, and I passed, but decidend to go with another service.  If you did indeed not pass the skill set (but you don't REALLY know that you failed - just what they are telling you) - I would suggest brushing up with "Medical Terminology," by Davi Ellen Chabner and getting a Taber's Cyclopedic Dictionary (one that the nurses use).  Of course, I'm probably dating myself and there are better reference materials out there now - but those are what I used in college when I "almost" became a nurse.

Born again

I am a Christian, so I understand witnessing to others; nevertheless, I have to say that I don't agree with that approach, because I've seen it fail before - not with everyone - but for the most part, that stance ends up driving people away rather than drawing them.  People don't want to hear someone tell them they're going to hell because they're doing this, that, or the other.  Maybe they do need to hear that from somebody, but it still comes across as judgmental, and being judgmental is something that Christians are NOT to be.  The old saying "you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" applies here.   He needs to understand that he can't force people to convert to Christianity just because he says all those things to them.  Maybe you could suggest that he not come on so heavy, and instead try inviting people to visit his church, and leave it at that.

Go to the bookstore. Buy him a book called "Jesus Freaks" (I am serious). He will love it. Then ask him about the book. Whether he is Buddhist, Christian, or atheist, it is always a great gift to have someone listen to your view. Americans view themselves as a Christian nation, and you just might learn something. keep an open mind, and stick to the subject of the book. Good luck and I hope the experience is a good one for both of you. The book is very interesting in the depth of human compassion and passion - no matter what your personal beliefs are.

Hey, I WAS born in the south and I don't get it either.
But then again, I guess south Florida is not considered "The South," right?

I live in conservative N FL now and well, it's different..

You and msbeanctr are right on target and very eloquet.
If you know the time of day you were born, sm

please tell us, and if you are a day person or a night person.  I was born at 11:50 a.m., and am very much a night person.   I don't seem "with it" until noonish every day. 


I've always wondered if our birth time might be indicative of what hours we function best (or whatever hours we prefer to function). 


Let's see!!!


 


 


Born in the early AM and that is when I
function best.
Born at 9:36 a.m. - Day person. nm

My daughter was born at 1:28 a.m. and if she is
doesn't even get in the shower till oh, about 9:00 p.m.   And she sleeps till 1 or 2 p.m. if she doesn't have to work.  Drives me nuts!  But then, I was born at 7:00 a.m. and I like to get up early and then am falling asleep by 10, 11 p.m. at the latest. 
Born at 1:23 p.m. and definitely a night owl! nm

Kittens being born..HELP...
any advice on what to do with these kittens? Mom has decided to have them in a paper grocery bag (did not like any of the places we had set up for her!) She is just a kitten herself, a stray who showed up pregnant. One has already been stillborn, not sure how many more to follow! I know to keep the other cats away from her, but I have got appointments in town all day and can't just have her in a paper sack? Is it okay to put her and the sack into one of the boxes or what? Any help would be appreciated...TIA, the new grandma!
just those born from 1946 to 1964

ages 41 to 59

too many "rug rats" here.

I guess pedophiles are born that way too. Just can't help themselves and
Gays are pushing their lifestyle. I prefer don't ask don't tell and for gawd's sake don't make a movie about cowboys and gay sex.
I was born 4:31 p.m. and most definitely am a night person.

My niece was born at 4:16 this morning.

My sister in law gave birth to my niece at 4:16 this morning and I am sure that people will raise their eyebrows everytime she tells someone her DOB. 


Truman was pres when I was born!!!....nm

My daughter was born with hydrocephalus
and is shunted. Two years ago on our way to the Milwaukee Zoo she had an extremely abrupt shunt failure (fine that morning, and then a seizure and starting to lose consciousness in the van.. just out of the blue), and ended up with a helicopter ride back to Madison and into surgery. Every day that I drop her off at school, I worry about if that will happen again, if they will recognize what's going on. She has a medical bracelet, and we've talked to the school and the teachers many times about it, but it still drives me crazy not to be able to be with her and see how she is. I do know that even though they have her whole history in front of them, she was still rollerblading and doing tumbling, etc., in gym class, which I didn't know about, and considering she has the shunt on the back of her head, it would have been nice to know. We won't have those problems at home.
You can be born gay or with an attraction to goats. You just don't follow through
on your instincts and attractions and sodomize the person/animal you are attracted to.
Born at 7 p.m. and definitely prefer the mornings. I think it's an age thing though.
Great sunrise and new hopeful expectations for the day.
Born at 8:30 pm, totally a night person, NM

That's very interesting! I don't remember what time I was born
I am very much a night person & like you, my brain does not seem to fully function until noon-time! If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I was born in the wee hours of the morning (basically the middle of the night) I'm curious to read what the other posters have to say! Great thread!
Agree! That was big when my DD was born. People naming

yep, she grew up poor... born 1935, so I'm sure sm
the economy wasn't exactly booming then, and they were certainly poor. My dad born in 1923, and HE would wash old bread wrappers to use as lunch bags, and then wash em again and use them till they fell apart. Why buy plastic bags when they come free on the bread?
