I make 3-4 times more being paid by the line. sm
Subject: I make 3-4 times more being paid by the line. sm

I think it depends on your speed, accuracy, and hospital dictators. If you have always been an employee paid by the hour, you might want to stick with that. The transition to production pay is not easy; however, I have a problem making transitions to employee per hour pay. So, everyone is different.

Just think really long and hard about it.

Monitor your line count daily for a few weeks and calculate that by say 8 or 9 cpl on a 65 character line and see which his more, by the hour or by the line.

Remember, companies base your health care insurance on your production. So, if you need health insurance and have a slow few weeks with no work, you may lose your health insurance temporarily.

You have a good thing, you might want to stick with it.

IC production pay works for me. I do not need health insurance, my hubby takes care of that, and I commit to production per day not hours per day. I need the flexibility.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

I would do 60%. I have several doctors that will say 60 (as in ) 6-0. Clarifying the numbers so you don't put 16. They do 50, 5-0 so you don't put 15 because they sound close. It just sounds like sixty-six-zero. Put what you feel is right but I would be from experienc it is 60%

Subject: This has gotten me too many times...

I keep getting this and I'd like opinions on this.  Right after liver/spleen/abdominal exam, she says something that sounds like "go-ac" or "golac" negative.  While I'd be inclined to put guaiac, she then does the GU/rectal exam and says heme negative stool.  Wouldn't that be repeating herself?  So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be instead, or should I stick with guaiac?  Thanks bunches!

Hi all... I have been told by two different places two different things. I can't decide who is right! Is it written times 2 or x 2? For example: The patient had surgery for corneal transplant x 2. Or... The patient had surgery for corneal transplant times 2.

Was my old place of work correct when they told me to type out the word "times"??

Thanks,

s/l outgoing times three
Subject: s/l outgoing times three

In the physical exam section, the first sentence the doctor says is:


"He is pleasant," then what sounds like "outgoing times three," then "in no acute distress."  For a full sentence of what would read, "He is pleasant, outgoing x 3, in  no acute distress."


Does that sound right?  He says it so quickly that I really can't make it out.  I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard that before.


thanks!

I did cut her a break, several times
Subject: I did cut her a break, several times

I would have been less forthcoming...you know, I got my job on my own...she should as well. Did someone give you a job without your having earned it yourself? And how do you suppose she will keep it IF she gets it? Will she blame yourself for not knowing how to be an MT (just getting quick fix answers here without knowing how to research or having an understanding of what she is transcribing?) or will she blame this board for not helping her enough?

I can symphathize with being new...everyone started out as a newbie; however, I do not condone - nor has this board - answering job test questions. And if she had books as resources as she stated, her questions on this board discredit that statement.
