thanks, looking forward to it
early next month...
You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
Me, too. Looking forward to starting.

leaning forward -- tell us more.
good line rate, benes? Anything else to comment on.
Just forward the e-mails and any
questions you have to your supervisor.
Looking forward to the New Year sm
I interviewed with them the other day and accepted a position yesterday although my acceptance was via the recruiter's voicemail and I haven't heard back yet. This is going to be a great new year. I can feel it. Of course, I will feel more confident once I get a call or E-mail confirming my acceptance.
Boy, it sounds like I have a lot to look forward to! sm
Losing my insurance, my good dictators and work! I too check my work and was thinking the only way I am going to win this battle is to just rush through it for production sake. Then it occurred to me that they would still get me for being below the 98% correct threshold if I did that. I am starting to feel like I am going to get screwed instead of the hope I had that their software was so wonderful I could breeze through it and still be meticulous at the same time.
Please forward me the e-mail that you received.
I do not believe that anyone would tell you to take a few days off (not saying I don't believe you, but I know we are busy and I need to know who told you that).
If anyone is running out of work, I would like to know about it immediately.

Thank you to those who came forward with the proof I needed. It is appreciated.

Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to those long reports..(sm)
I haven't done Radiology on a regular basis since 1997...but I got offered this job and I almost turned it down because I've been doing acute care for so long I thought I wanted to continue with that...but I took the Rad job and it just kind of felt good to type Rad again. I think I was burned out on acute care!
email busytran2@aol.com and she will forward to recruiter if (sm)
hr@phoenixmedcom.com is still down. Sorry, we are working with the server people.
I'm lookin forward to that teleconference Tuesday
Cool beans - looking forward to maybe catching a few. Have a good day. n m
Same old stuff, huh? ...sigh...really looking forward to making contact based on what you said.

Once you forward resume, how long till Futurenet gets back with you? nm
Not the OP, but I want to learn OPs.
I've done a few of them, but not enough to feel proficient on them.
Never too old to learn
I don't think it is old at all. I went back to school when I was 39 to learn MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION as I had previous secretarial experience for 20 years but wanted to further my career in the medical field and work at home, which I did. My family was all for it. Good Luck! amj
You can learn a lot
from the Andrews medical transcription website. It is an excellent school, and if you enroll you can learn a lot about the business as well as anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and all the ins and outs of MT.
Well, you learn something new every day.
I live just outside Syracuse, and I don't think I've ever even heard of them or knew they were here. I'd be curious to know more too.
had to learn not how to learn
I have weekend cobwebs
Learn something new everyday.
I was told I was being changed from DEP to DQS when I trained. So then I guess I really don't know what platform I came from. LOL!
there are MANY links there to learn....sm
about the company - the VERY TOP of the page - I almost missed it myself.....but there's all kinds of info, FAQs, and contact page for any questions you might have that the website did NOT answer for you.
Geesh, you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make them drink it.
And no, I wasn't the poster of that website - it was your reaction that got me curious and so I went to that website and there is a lot of info there....only at the top of the page of the browser......
Do not feel that way. That is how you learn
Actually, you click on the Reply by Email in blue. Good luck finding MTs!!
I don't think they are hard to learn, but they are much more
technical in the terminology, lots of equipment and procedure names that change all the time. It seems that each time a new batch of doctors come in that the terminology is different. They come from other parts of the country/world and they used different equipment or different techniques. Lots of stuff to look up - just like the new drugs.
It's easy to learn...
Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for... I don't think you should be freaking out. It's the best platform I've ever used and it's very easy to learn. I'm sure this isn't giving you anything helpful, but not sure what you want to know.
Oh and learn this new system..
 Be an IC at 7 cpl, and do your assigned work and be our slave! What a joke...
Well sir then just let everybody learn the hard way
Give it a try, see if we're all lying and making this up. There are simply too many people that can confirm the same facts my dear. You will hear the same story over and over and over again. This is such a big fat lie that you're telling. I hope nobody buys into it.
You do have to learn what account? Sorry
if it's a dumb question, but what did you mean by that? You have to learn the account your given or...?
I want to learn escription
Some companies advertise that you must have experience in eScription to be considered for an editing position. Have any of you been hired for an eScription position without experience in eScription? I'm sure I can learn it in no time. New platforms don't scare me. Thanks for your input.
If you care to share your opinion of eScription, I would like to hear that also!
Do you have to learn the language?

Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
You need to LEARN to spell....
Don't you think? 
HA! You chickennecks will never learn!
I told her to write that and sit back and watch the responses. You knuckleheads never disappoint! HA!
Yes, you can definitely continue to learn, but -
why throw away perfectly good money on a USELESS 'certification'? You won't get paid more money, and you'll have to pay every time you take it if you fail the first time. AND pay to continue to renew it. Biggest ripoff in medical transcription history. AND, all this by a company that gives Indian MTs a better price to take the test, and who openly promotes offshoring american jobs.
You'd do better to spend the money on a comfortable work-chair, an ergonomic keyboard, a better computer, or some new reference books. Getting a bogus 'CMT' cert. just helps to fund AHDI's selling of the American Transcriptionist downriver.
Do I really care about whether you learn VR
or not? Not really. I just think the people on here complaining so much either cannot do, have never tried doing, failure at it (if you say you can transcribe 2000 lines a day and then on VR only 500, give me a break). Unless you find a small company, most of the bigger ones if not already on VR going that way. Get the same answers on here from people who don't know any better: Gotta be management, gotta be newbie, gotta be slow. Umm, did I miss anything that is normally said with people who are proficient with VR? Oh, cheerleader, forgot that one. I know McDonald's is probably going to have to get new positions open I see so many here threatening to go there because they can make more slinging hamburgers than VR.
I expect I could learn it but
I can't imagine much of anything being more boring and one's ears can only hear so fast. I know too many MTs, all working for different companies, and ALL of them are looking to get out of MT. It isn't a matter of making it work for them, it's a matter of them making only 50-60% of what they made doing straight transcription.
How hard is RadNet to learn/use?
Is the platform MT friendly, I guess is what I'm asking? Do you like it? Is it word-based? What expanders work with it? Any information you can give. TIA!
It took me, no lie 10 minutes, to learn the platform. sm
When the trainer called, I already loaded the expander, logged into the system, and was ready to go - no training needed. It took me all of 10 minutes to learn the platform; however, the account specifics is what takes a while. Like every company and account, there are certain specifics for each account.
I am liking it very much; however, I am not ready to quit my other job. I prefer working for two, so I have something to fall back on.
IC (excuse the pun, lol). But why are they hard to learn? nm
+++
True. They always learn the hard way it seems.
I am hoping somewhere along the line, I would have helped someone stay away from a bad company.
Hard to learn keystrokes.
 I found it very difficult to learn the editing keystrokes, and the trainer used abbreviations for things pertaining to BeyondText that I wasn't sure what she meant. I had to listen to five others with questions during training, one not so bright at all so that took up a lot of time from everyone else. I found BeyondText to be not very user friendly and I spent more time answering questionnaires than learning! Not a good platform, but is the only one I've tried other than Meditech VPN. I don't think this program is productive at all, and I hope all the others are not the same venue!
How difficult is Escription to learn? nm
nm
I usually do it the hard way too, but I learn the easy
way in the process usually. We have to remember that computers are only machines - LOL.
Shouldn't the companies learn not to
Why not let a lot of folks have off????? HUH????
No kidding. At least won't have to learn new account.
