Yes, but you'll probably need to find a smaller MTSO.

Put your resume in the MTstars resume database specifically stating what you're looking for. The smaller MTSOs usually don't put ads in because they don't want to be bombarded with hundreds of resumes. If you leave your info, they'll come to you. I had three independent contractor "p.r.n." or "very part-time positions" this past summer, so the positions are out there. Then I figured since I was already putting in 30 hours between the three, why not just work 20+ hours as an employee? So I am. Good luck with it!

smaller MTSO
I once worked for a very small MTSO in their office. They were in a suite. But they were located in a metropolitan area, very busy. At the end of my second week of employment with them, the CEO walked by the office I was working in and conveniently said VERY LOUDLY that a "certain medical center" (account I was solely working on) owed the company over $30,000. This was before I received my first paycheck. I was stunned. How's that for shock value? I received my check in a timely fashion and it did not bounce. However, CEO was sure to let me know of HIS SITUATION.
If you work for a smaller MTSO, it is rare that
they offshore. I work for a small one FT and another one as an IC, and there has never been talk of them offshoring. A lot of the smaller MTSOs don't.
Keep looking, but find a smaller company.
The smaller ones have better accounts, useful macros and expansions, decent line rates, nice supervisors/owners, but probably IC with no benefits. I don't care about that as long as I can crank out the lines in a small amount of time.
Smaller MTSOs. They're tough to find.
You'd best put your resume in the MTstars resume database with the objective that you're searching for a smaller MTSO.
It'll happen. You'll find your fit.
You might have to kiss a few frogs first, though.
By the way, I am an MTSO. So help me if I find that my sm
employees are one of you.
MTSO knows hard to find good MT,especially 1

Any MTSO find a good place for their own website?
I recently received a quote for a local web design company, and it was close to $1,000! I don't have that kind of money. I would just like somewhere to tell a little bit about myself and the services I offer to Physicians.
Thanks!
Will be a nurse-practitioner...but I'll keep my MTSO as long as it stays alive...

I'll find it and let you know. I was beginning to think this was all about

you're right. She'll find her way over. NM

I'll bet you can find one on Ebay cheap.
I've been buying up the antique kitchen gadgets because they work better and cost less than the newfangled junk.
You go, Tinks! You'll have to let us know so we can find it on the internet and see it.
I feel exactly the same as y'all. I think we could start by sending letters not e-mails to our respective state legislators. And it would certainly not be a bad idea to send a letter to the presidential candidates. I bet Hillary would do something about it. Anyways I hope she would. My SIL is Indian. He was down here last weekend and told me he received an e-mail encouraging him to get into MT for only $450! he's a bus driver. Scam, scam, scam. He also told me that Indians are all crooks, and those are his words. he told me many stories of people stealing, bribes being expected, etc., even from the law and customs officials and the post office, on and on. So there ya go. Some may think our info is safe over there, I think not.
I have thought about contating our local TV/newspaper for the same reason -- to expose the dirty little secret at the big hospital here in town.
If you check the archives you'll find
this same question has been asked numerous times, but basically most have felt it a waste of time and wouldn't recommend them.
Hi, Lucinda. If you search on editing, you'll find SM
a lot of discussion since so many of us share your situation. Lots of people here have been editing for some time and should be able to offer answers to any questions you have afterward.
RadGuy, I gottah say this. You'll find someone on this board if you keep posting!! Even though mo
married (happily, others not), you just come off as interested in what we do as MTs (because you understand), you are funny, witty, and have a great personality....
I can just see it now....
You are personally invited to a virtual on-line wedding to celebrate.....
LOL!!
If you so a search on this board you'll find lots of info.
Basically, you've got it right. However, voice files can be large and email may reject large file attachments. Also, there's the security aspect that you didn't mention. Basically, the voice file and finished document need to be encrypted to be secure.
You said you don't have the time/didn't take the time to do the research. Lots of people have and have shared their findings time and again on this board. I, for one, am not willing to reinvent the wheel every time someone is looking for this information but doesn't want to take the time to do the legwork. No offense meant but please do take the time to educate yourself. If you really don't have the time or don't want to take that time, then be prepared to pay for that information in the form of a consultant.
Read these boards, & you'll find 'rude & inconsiderate'

I used to think smaller was better
I took a job with a small MTSO who offshores.... they added to my responsibilities w/o extra pay and THEN had the gonads to cut my pay. They said "sorry" but we are a small company and making some adjustments. I'm like dumbfounded.
Smaller
Left big national for smaller company in October and I LOVE it! They actually know me!
No, it is not w/ Medquist. It is w/ a smaller co. nm

I would, but they ran out all the smaller businesses here. nm

Smaller companies that pay better...
If you guys know any names of smaller/mid sized companies that pay much better and are better all around, PLEASE give out some names - it's really hard to know which ones are the good ones unless we have word of mouth! Please :)
Smaller nationals are way to go...
It seems you get treated like dirt by the large nationals, i.e., Medquist, Spheris, no communication, etc. Many experienced MTs have gone the way of smaller national companies simply because of the better communication among employer and employee, more warmth among the company, etc. Spheris tries to give off this impression they are a warm company much thanks to the CEO, but the organization itself is not a good employer to work for.
I want to look into Smaller Nationals.
I am hoping to get some names of some good Small National companys to work for.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Many smaller companies - to name a few... sm
Health Information Partners, TTS, OSI, there are many many others.
regarding smaller font
I will type in any size font that they want, use what ever margins that they want but when I do my line count I change the document back to Courier 12 and use my usual margins. I tell them up front that my charge per line is on Courier 12 with 1" margins on sides. No one has every questioned me for this. They can have as many characters they want on a line in whatever font that they want but not for my line count. Saves me on my sticky paper and so I don't care. But have been doing this for years and am very upfront about what my definition of a line is and yes I do gross lines.
it is usually because they used it in a smaller screen
Open it up, click on the large square in the upper right hand corner next to the X for closing it, so that it is enlarged. Then close it, and it should open to the full screen the next time. Most all software will open in the same size that it was closed in the last time. Hope this helps.
Maybe a smaller company would be a better fit. sm
I know many MTs need health benefits, but if you can swing it, try the smaller or medium size companies. Most likely you will have the same account and dictators every day.
Yep, she needed something that was smaller than the cigarette.
For sure!!!!
USA Type, smaller companies...sm
the larger nationals suck big time, they ALL stink IMHO. I have NOT found one good national since YOG. Transhealth is okay, but it takes forever to get started with them, AND...lots of awful ESLs, but the sound quality was good, but I didn't stay. too many different docs, I am too old and tired for that and working on complicated platforms, Give me an MTSO who uses plain old word or WP and wav files.
Kathryn looked a little smaller????

I want an ergo keyboard but I cannot seem to get used to the smaller (sm)
shift key on the righthand side of the keyboard. I keep hitting the keys beside or below it. Do you eventually get used to it? Right now I am looking at the Goldtouch and the Kinesis Maxium. Would appreciate anyone's input.
making the font smaller
does change the line count for those of us who are paid on a gross line. On a character count line, there is no difference.
Hospital with many smaller satellite clinics associated with it

On my Google page, everything is lots smaller than it was and
it is too spread out for everything to fit on 1 page, so basically you have to look at the right side and then move over to see the left.Any ideas on how I can get this straightened out? Thanks!
I think a lot of the private practice docs like smaller ones.
They like the personal attention they get.
Ctr + or - to make bigger and smaller. : ) No Message
Ctr + (bigger) Ctr - (smaller) ... just in case you open the message. : )
*If it does not work at first, click on the page and then try again.
Wonderful, got it--I see now it does work here too to make things smaller
thank you, very kind of you to tell me. I've made eveything on this page smaller now. Muy bien. Happy typing.
