I'm getting ready to start applying and these are the companies that I'm looking at.  So give me the low-down.  Good, bad, India?

Here are my criteria:

9 cpl or better

Does NOT send work to India

Good accounts with at least 50/50 of ESL versus American dictators

Consistent work flow - no downtime or time spent waiting for work

Upper management should be professional, positive, and encouraging.

Pay for lines WITH spaces.

Is there such a job out there or am I just dreaming?  If there are other companies other than the ones I listed that would fit the bill, please feel free to let me know. I tested with TransHealth and I felt like I tanked.  It was a hard test and I had to use the mouse to stop and start the dictation as it was online test and you couldn't download the voice files.  So that made it a lot more difficult.  One of the dictators was cutting himself off through the report and I had to leave some blanks.  I'm very frustrated with this whole process of looking and testing.  Are all the tests like that?  Or are there companies that allow you download the test files and transcribe them using your pedal and software?  Ugh!  I am just so frustrated and discouraged.

Thanks for any helpf.

Transcription and their online school?  i have looked and looked through these posts on companies and can't find anything about them.

i was wondering if theyr'e a good school to go through.  and, if not, which online school would be best?

I cannot seem to find anything, good, bad, or otherwise.  Mostly I'm in interested in the usual things -- platformed use, pay on time, difficult dictators, etc.

TIA

I liked the fact they only required 32 hours for insurance. I realized the cpl was probably a little lower but that somewhat made up for it. I was contacted to test with them a few weeks ago. I took the test (a long and very detailed test I might add with transcription portion and many multiple choice).

 I feel I did reasonably well yet I never even heard a word back from them.? To me if someone took the time to take an hour long test at least they could do respond to the potential employee whether you passed it or not.

I love working there.  They know you by name, not number, and they are great!  We've had a lot of extra work lately and instead of requiring overtime, we have contests with great prizes (money, gift certificates, medical books, etc.)

Insurance is $68/pay period for the employee.  Adding another person or a family makes it jump substantially.  The copay is more than usual ($30) but the prescription coverage is awesome.

I've tried to find some information on SOAP Transcription and have not been able to find any.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks much, Brenda G, IN

SOAP stands for subjective, objective, assessment, plan. Those are the headings that usually comprise a clinic note.

I ditto your sentiments..it IS like getting hooked to a soap.  I read so many posters that tend to go for the jugular, when an opinion is posted contrary to some beliefs.  My daughter, who is also an MT, but in house at a hospital, just got "hooked" on this board and can't believe how "catty" some can be. 

Well, it is all over, in house or at home, in medical transcription or K-Mart, been around for ages, but sometimes it gets brutal in my book.

I won't flame you for being a MQ MT...been there myself for close to 10 years now and it works for me, period.

Hello everyone
