Would that make it worthwhile? Are they widely used?
Thnx

You need a second phone line for Cphone. It's an automatic dialer with a footpedal

Offered job too.
I was offered a job there for editing at 5 cpl to start. That is all that I know for now. Waiting to hear more information.
I was once offered a job
at a local hospital where I had to work there for 6 months and then could work from home. What I didn't like, and many may have to do this, I don't know, but I still had to work their hours, and they could go on-line to see if I was working. I, too, decided on this career so I could stay home and work at my own pace. The docs I work for now don't care when I work, (I have terrible insomnia so sometimes I work in the middle of the night), just as long as I get my work done.
Work offered
I am a new and I was offered a job by another MT who has lots of extra work. Is it a good idea to take work like this. Please I need some advice on this.

no reference books offered
We do not have reference books. There are about 20 reports to transcribe in the entire course. No we do not use the SUM method. However, I am planning to purchase additional practice tapes from HPI. I was told that they do help with placement. From what I can tell so far, this course gives you the basics of MT. I know now that I will need to practice, practice, Practice.
what if you offered to pick up your check from them?

Can you please share the company that offered you a position? Thanks. nm

Every time I offered to hire newbies...
they told me they wanted 6-8 cents a line, some even asked for 10! I'm through with hiring new people that I have to train about every single thing in the business, from research to finding doctor's names, to software, to file transfer protocols, to long distance packages, etc. They take up all my time when I have other MT's with tons of experience who will do it for 7. Plug N Play.
It depends on your account
Sometimes MTs, new and otherwise, get accounts like that. On the plus side, it is experience that you can use. Learning some of these difficult ESLs now can be benificial to you when you move on to another job. As far as line count goes, that would be tough. Just do the best you can, at least it is a paying job.
Good luck and God Bless.
They just lost their account

psych account follow up
What's your plan?
It all depends on the account. Are you wanting to
do it on your own - meaning get your own account, or work for a company. If working for a company there are various ways to get work, a C-phone or Lanier, tape, or through the internet - what you need depends on what they use. If you want your own accounts it all depends on how they do their dictation. It may be done on tapes or handhelds, in which case they probably have the ability to upload files.
IThey might have hired you for a new account. Call! sm
You didn't mention the name of the company. It could be they have a new account and it's not off the ground yet. It was a month after I was hired before I actually started working. That was two years ago and I'm seldom out of work. I'm still on that same account.
No ESLs on my account, but they're not hiring.
You're right that account specifics will dictate how you
do this, but generally you don't abbreviate diagnoses, but using cm and mL are okay, just don't use CHF instead of congestive heart failure. In the body of a report it is acceptable to abbreviate, but you should really transcribe as dictated. If the doctor dictates CHF then type CHF, if they dictate congestive heart failure than type congestive heart failure.
i work for one national, one smaller, and have one private account.
i am always busy, but never without some type of work :). I make a great line count with MQ. I was statutory but effective January 1st, I am an employee. Not sure how that will work out. My secondary account is with a smaller company I have been with for over ten years, and I have a small private account that pays very well but low volume.
Disagree. We have a gravy account that we, as IC's, provide our own equipment and pay for
a token to get into the software. Big deal. You pay $150 for a C-phone and $150 for the token but then you make scads of money! So would weigh the ROI (return on investment). Not a hard and fast rule to never buy equipment you can't use on another account.
Getting lucky w/a great account figures in greatly. You'll be
