    mq requirements
    I was told by my TC, 8,000/pay period for part time.
    me too with the requirements sm
    of 20 years experience at least 45 years old and over!  (Acute care of course with all the junk that goes with it)
    There are no age requirements for teachers
    You are never too old to further your education. I know seniors who take college courses for self-improvement. My daughter will graduate in 9 months to be a teacher and she is 37. Teachers are high in demand. There is such a shortage, but don't go into it just for the money. If you do, you will be a crappy teacher.
    different accounts, different requirements, but...
    some things you probably should have available are MS Word, a wav player and foot pedal, and WinZip in case you need to unzip or zip files.
    Line Requirements
    Could those of you who are paid twice a month tell me what your line requirements are per pay period? I am wondering if 15,000 lines per pay period is around the average amount. TIA!
    Not exactly right. If you WANT THE JOB, you'll fulfill their requirements. nm

    Watch for HIPAA requirements!
    I've just begun investigating this a bit myself. Files must be encrypted in specific manner, and/or a housed on a secure FTP server set up in order to be in compliance with HIPAA regulations.

    Something to be aware of beyond just creation of the files.
    if i make production requirements only
    which is 1200 lines a day...it is about 2100 from the national, and then the local i pull about 500 to 1000 a month depending,

    suffice it to say, however, that i have been withthe national for a month, and have not managed to get my lines in yet...though i had a bad run with mono int he middle of that.

    I have been at this for 7 years, and can on a good day do upwards of 300 lines an hour, on a slow day..heh..you get the idea...

    right now i am averaging about 2200 a month between the two jobs
    Have 3 years to meet all the CE requirements.

    QA stems from regulatory requirements
    All hospitals are required to meet quality standards in order to maintain their accreditation status. There are QA reviews for the hospital as a whole, for each department, and for each function. It filters down level by level.

    In the case of MTSOs, they have to meet the quality standards of their clients in order to stay in business.

    It's not anything intended to harass employees, but to improve patient care.

    And, yes, doctors are QA'd, but they're QA'd on the basis of their patient care. The quality of their medical record documentation does feed into that, but on a higher level than spelling and punctuation.


    Poll on editing line requirements
    I would like to know your line requirements per shift.  Please indicate whether this is production based on hourly or based on cpl.  Thanks!
    check state certification requirements

    Make sure you check not only how much a program may cost you, but what your state requirements are. I'm in Utah and we are required to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice. There is also a national exam that is supposedly good if you take it, but is get pricey. I took the course locally with a program that included an internship. I personally found the career boring and it didn't pay well enough for me to pursue it, but every state has different pay scales so check into it.


    You should have a leg up because you do have to learn and memorize a lot of drug names and what they are for. Also, make sure your basic math skills are good. Mine stunk, so make sure you can remember how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and decimals. Good luck!!!


    Minimum wage requirements when there's no work, perhaps?
    Looks like the Q is having to pony up minimum wage to a lot of MTs when there is NJA and this, I believe, is the highest in CA. Interestingly, CA-based employees of the Q seem to get NJA less frequently than other regions.

    It all depends on what state you live in and what their laws and requirements are. Check with your
