no i don't love being MT but it beats McDonalds. no i don't work for a great company.
no raises and constant shift in management. no i don't make more than enough money to just pay my bills but i have cut down on overhead of regular job outside of the home.
it's an okay job relatively speaking.
Until recently my experience was great
Now all of the sudden many accounts have no work. When there is work, the money is good. Really a lot alike many of the other nationals, IMO.
Great!! I have years of experience as a transcription

great answers! Thank you both for your input and experience.

Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
I can speak from experience, when I was 11-yr, I had to attend my great-uncle's funeral and it wa
an open casket service. Coming from a predominantly Catholic family, I was told that I had to pay my respects. I can only tell you of the nightmares that I had for the next 2 weeks after that. If she doesn't want to go, don't make her. If the other family members feel it is unacceptable, that is their problem. There are always other ways to pay respect.
Ditto :). Teaching hospitals are great experience if you can be patient. nm

We love to help!, but we can only do so much when newbies don't have experience and fewer places

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
That's great! Love it! nm

We love ours, the DVR is great too! (sm)
I think that DishNet is cheaper than DirectTV, at least when I did my research almost a year ago.
Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
I love my supervisor. She's great!

That's a great idea. I'd love to see him too.
If you don't know how to post his picture I'm sure there's several people here who'd be more thanhappy to show you how to do it.
Come on.  We're all waiting with bated breath to see your hunk of a husband because we know he probably puts Tom Cruise to shame.
Sounds great. Hope you love it! (nm)

It's great and easy to use. You'll love it! nm

Such a great movie! Still love the soundtrack

We love our Dodge Durango! Sis-in-law has a GMC Envoy which is great but a little out of our
budget.
I do only Op Reports and love it. Great line count too. sm
Everyone is different, although I think you can learn them and you may even like doing them. Give it a shot and good luck!
Been specializing in op reports for 25 years now. You do need to keep up with the medical equipment terms. There is something new every day.
Love my Kirby G5 -- got it used for $500 - the thing is a tank and works great!- nm

Vitamin catalogs are great for this info, too. Love Swanson's! nm

Work with only a year experience
Well I'm looking for work .. I have a year experience, my current company is 3 cents a line ... ICK but I needed the experience..
HELP any hints....
Need a decent company...
Love Johnny Depp too. He has a sense of humor and is a great actor.
Love his movies.
I use the Simply Sheer. Love it. Great coverage and feels like no makeup at all. nm
Well, I have 25 years experience also in all work types
and only do acute care with a line rate of 10.5 cpl M-F and 11 cpl on the weekends.
You can negotiate it a little harder, and you will get it depending on their needs, I guess.
It is MDI-Maryland.
Getting IC work with family practice experience
I have 15 years of experience at home transcribing for family practice and currently work part-time at home as an IC. I would like to keep the account I have but perhaps add another to bump up my hours a bit. Almost every job I see posted requires acute care experience. Does anyone have input as to whether it is possible to obtain work without the acute care experience? I love the work I have done. Yes, it is probably easier than ESL or acute care but it does require attention to detail and accuracy just like everything else.
Please advise what someone in my position should do. I am sure these jobs do not appreciate people posting without the experience listed so I have not done so.
My current work is local and is on tapes but I am willing to learn a new system or possibly obtain different equipment. Any input will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
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
Well I don't know anything with all my years experience because I only transcribe clinic work ..
Other than that, I see quite a few replies to your original message so hmmm
I work 1 FT and 1 IC. The IC is great, I tell them when I can work. So far it has not been a probl

Does anyone know of companies that hire for physical thearpy work? Many years experience.

The Co. I work for is GREAT about that - sm
OSi has Instant Messaging, and a lot of the staff have personal pictures of themselves to make it more personal... They also hold an annual company picnic that you can attend, which is really great. I started an IM one time with someone on the "management" section of my IM list, just joked around, chatted about the significance of certification, about the CMT classes they were doing (free mind you), about my supervisor (all good of course)... then I just said, "So, what's your job with this outfit?" (this is my witty sense of humor coming out) - and she said, "Oh ME? Oh, I'm the VP! Glad you like it here!" WHEW!! SO glad there was nothing bad to say about the company - ROFL!!  My supervisor will actually listen if I have personal problems, offer advice or empathy... There is one lady who was a training coordinator that I had IM'd just for info for a friend, and we struck up a good on-line friendship... she had traveled the same type of road I had, understood my perils, gave encouragement, and still calls from time to time just to see how it's going... great people... love them to death! 
So it is there.... if you want to know more.... just ask  
WOW! That is great pay. May I ask where you work?

Sounds great but there is no work!
Well, I tried posting but it disappeared. Will just say I show up to work but there isn't any (have several accounts). So the bonus which is what I consider my "sick leave" - is not attainable. So much for working for MQ. And now I hear of more accounts they are losing. But they never tell the MTs. 
I think that although it's great that we can work at home
because we haven't been on "social circulation" for so many years. It seems to make people angry, mean and confrontational. Just my observation.
Is it WP5.1 using the Fkeys? Great way to work once you get used to it. nm

Great company to work for!
Maybe I just work for a great company
but where I work they provide the people at home computers and they pay for the DSL, and if they are required to come in to the office during one of their shifts (we do work shifts) then they are paid for travel time to and from. I don't think those things are unreasonable to ask for. A few of us work in house here because we choose to, but most of the MTs are at home.
That sounds so great- where I work
the chairs are unbelievable- they are horrible. They will special order a better chair for you if you need it but it takes like 3 months, and it is always the same kind of chair from the same place and if it doesn't work for you, oh well. The seat pan doesn't adjust, and it needs to. They pay 1200 bucks for these chairs, when they could get a dozen better ones for the same price.
Wouldn't you think a hospital of all places would understand the importance of ergonomics for their employees?? :rolleyes
Interestingly the conference rooms have wonderful chairs and I usually snag one at night and just put it back when I leave.
Great place to work! sm
They are very helpful and encouraging and give you plenty of time to get up to speed. I have been with other national companies and they are the best. You'll be happy there!
I work for them too. Great morale
xxxxx
That is where I work and yes, they are a great company...
I have plenty of work (sometimes too much but I would rather have too much than not enough), have never run out of work in 2 years and have great team leads...in my opinion, they are the best company out there, at least for me..
I work PT and LOVE it!
I think what you may be looking for are actual experiences from people who have done this on a part-time basis, not as a full-time career. I'll tell you...it is very possible to do part-time to supplement your income, and it can be very enjoyable (and even somewhat rewarding) IF you find the right fit as far as specialty, employer, schedule, etc.
I started an on-line course about 4 years ago, it took me just under a year to finish it at a very casual pace, and I found a position as an IC when I was about half-way through the course. Over the past 3 years, I have applied with about 10 different companies and have received employment offers from the majority of them. I have a very good work ethic and track record, have never been a "job hopper," and it has paid off in this field, as this caliber of employee seems to be a rarity and it is therefore appreciated by employers.
I currently am working about 15 hours a week, make about $350 a week, and I love it. I won't lie, though, and tell you it was a piece of cake to get to this point. I had to work hard and "cheap" for the first year, but now I am so glad I did. It is actually very relaxing for me, and I look forward to working. However, I do not have a baby OR a full-time job. I have a husband who makes good money and supports the family and provides insurance and financial security. However, someday should I ever need or want to work full-time I at least have that option available.
I worked full-time (plus some) in a professional office for about 15 years, but after my first child was born I cut way back and have NEVER regretted it. My kids are now teens and pre-teens, and my time with them has been precious, to both me and to them. They are very well-adjusted, confident kids and have made me very proud.
Good luck with your decision, and I'd say "go for it." You seem like a very level-headed person with a lot of drive and ambition. Sorry about all the "negativity" on this board; you just have to learn to consider the source sometimes and read between the lines. It's really too bad, but there's no use fighting it; some people will just never be happy I guess.
Best wishes!
yes they are very flexible. They are a great company to work for.
Best job I EVER had!
May I ask which 2 companies you work for? Those are great rates! - nm

I agree. It's a great place to work,
most places are very slow around the holidays. And the owner is a great lady.
