Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a
nm
I left but came back. sm
I was considered a hospital employee. I left. They sent me the PL but it took about a month and it was hit heavily with taxes. I then went back. I would call your usual POC. I have found this company to be honest in dealing with me.
I personally know of one MT who left, but came back after...
approximately 5 months of working for another national. She's been back for a few months and it's going well.
Probably the one who left and came back recently
Heard she was planning to leave again.
I am with you. Left a while back. Very disappointed.

Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a
s
I worked there and left, recentily went back and
this is where I will hopefully retire from. I went from company to company and was never happy with any of them. MQ works for me. Very happy that I went back!
Dont ever doubt yourself - is why i left a while back- its not you

I went to PRN status & then just left completely so I wouldn't take lines from FT/PT MTs sm
My FT job was drying up so I had gone with MDI PT to help out and then left the FT job. I hadn't even been FT with MDI for 2 weeks when the work there started drying up, and this was actually a couple of months ago. I found another FT job and was going to be PRN with MDI, but when I saw how little work there was, I completely left so I wouldn't be taking even those few lines per month away from anyone else. I hope things pick up for you all there. It is a bad time to be trying to stretch paychecks even more than usual.
You went back? I thought they were upset at me when I left because they were looking foward to
working with me and I put them off. :(. I am too shy to even let them know this which is why I put anon. I loved my supervisor Ginny and Becky too, and the work. Thanks for the nice thought. I guess I am chicken LOL, and too chicken to ask to come back. Glad you did and it worked out!
Did any of us who left emails hear back from the MT who was highly recommending her
s
I left Amphion a couple of years ago and never looked back.
It was one of the best moves I ever made.
Wonderful company!!! Left for personal reasons. Would go back with no hesitation! nm

If you look back in the archives people left when they realized they couldn't make money with it.
nm
My experience of "working with me to get more lines" took too long! I can't sit back and wa
Just my experience!
Those that left on good terms. nm

Those that left on good terms..What?
Why would you mail them anything? What do you mean?
not that I can see. I am like you, any good jobs left?
Curious
You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
They are probably only given the results
to discuss. You would need to contact your supervisor for clarification.
Different results
People are usually pretty darned interested when I bring it up.
They will when a lawsuit results from it and
In their wallets. Publicize the name of the hospital SOMEHOW, because I personally would NEVER go to be treated in an institution run by those kinds of physicians.
Exactly! And I did request results...
of my testing or a more definitive answer and received no reply. I learn new things every day--sometimes things that I have been doing incorrectly. If it was, indeed, a timed test...I was screwed because I checked EVERYTHING. I have even submitted a copy of what I typed (Yes, I copied and pasted to a Word document) to my current supervisor and asked her to point out my errors. She found none and I feel better:)
I had the same results. I even did a search for the
entire state of Florida and absolutely nothing returned. To me it is very concerning that they do not list a website or a phone number.
Are there any good companies to work for left??? Suggestions?
Looking for a place to call home. I am so tired of all the disorganized, cheap, and discouraging companies out there. I just cannot find a good fit. I work hard.. very hard.. and I would just like a company to be fair back, decent pay, benefits, organized.. etc.. Help...
Hmmm. Good point. I only have a few weeks left,
.
DocQScribe wasn't a good platform for me, so I left. nm
s
I'm agreeing here, too. Wasn't a good fit/experience for ME, so I left after 6 wks. nm

I left the field for good earlier this year
after 15 years. I'm now an ACSM certified personal trainer at Bally Total Fitness, and also have a private client. Thanks to everything I learned as a transcriptionist, I passed the very tough certification exam on the first try.
I'm still networked with my first MD client, and we refer people to each other.
My body also thanks me for not spending hours at the computer anymore. I enjoyed the work, but don't miss it at this point.
There are many ways to use what we know. If your instinct is telling you to do something else, I encourage anyone to at least explore your options.
Yes, if you left on good terms, you can be eligible for rehire. nm

Waiting for test results...
Their base pay for ER work was 8 cents plus 1/2 cents for 2nd shift I think, 1 cents for weekends, something like that. I know I was banking on 8-1/2 for ER work.
Never notified about test results
It took forever to get the testing materials through the mail, and the instructions that came with it had several typo's! Never received test results. When I asked via email about the test, they said that person had been out of town and would get with me in a few days - that was in January. Needless to say I'm not terribly impressed...
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
It's only good if it's for about 10 lines. nm

I am pretty sure that they will send the test results
to you if you ask. I had one stop me at the second section of a test. When I asked what I did wrong, they were more than happy to send me a copy of it. The proof for me was in seeing what happened......
Before I apply, I have a few questions. I have better results asking here than the companies. sm
I do know to take it all with a grain of salt. Here are my questions:
Do they send work offshore?
IC or employee?
Line rate range for radiology?
Is there a lot of work.
Only one rad account worries me, especially as I heard that they are competing for this account with a large company. I cannot find out who that company is though, only that they are large. The person I know at the hospital that I asked did not have any name except QT, but she said that the other company is very strong and may end up with it.
This is so unsettling. I am totally confused and just wish things would stay the same :) Sigh.
No, you're in the year 2008, where the results of
most kids being raised in daycare with 2 parents working 24/7 are showing. Kids are a mess and the American family is a total mess, divorce rates 50%, our country going down the tubes, and YES a lot of it has to do with kids being left on their own while mommy works and goes to school, etc. I don't know the answer, but for sure the results being disastrous are evident all around you. I stayed home with mine and am more than pleased with the results. Just because children survive and grow into adults does not mean that they are healthy and happy adults.
Very disturbing research results on Transcend
It seems Transcend is very busy acquiring MTSOs and not bashful about their future goals. Please read what I copied from a recent article when they acquired TRS(March 2009). Between VR and offshoring, I truly do not see how much work will be left.
“We are excited to welcome TRS to the Transcend team,” stated Transcend CEO Larry Gerdes. “We
believe their commitment to their customers and employees makes them an excellent fit for Transcend.
TRS has taken a leadership role in our industry through its involvement with industry associations like the
Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and the Medical Transcription Industry
Association (MTIA). We look forward to continuing to play an important industry role with their
involvement. TRS provides services on several different platforms. We believe that over the next year,
35% - 50% of the business can be migrated to our BeyondTXT platform, which allows us to leverage our
speech recognition technology to improve productivity, enhance quality and drive faster turnaround times.
We look forward to working together as we integrate our operations over the next several months.”
“We believe our merger with Transcend is a positive step into the future for our customers and
employees,” stated TRS CEO Bob Harvey. “Transcend has an un-paralleled reputation for excellent
service. This gives our customers confidence that our teams will now be supported by the additional
resources of the top-ranked firm in the industry. For the sake of our employees, it was important to me to
merge with a company that has a strong commitment to providing the best work environment in the
medical transcription field, and I know we have found that in Transcend. ”
“Transcend is very interested in the work TRS is doing with overseas transcription training in places like
Barbados,” stated Transcend COO Sue McGrogan. “Although their training institute is not part of this
transaction, Transcend sees real opportunity to use this resource and others to continue to grow our
offshore capacity. Transcend is committed to remaining a predominately domestic transcription provider,
but we will continue to expand our offshore resources as well. We expect that the percentage of work
processed offshore could increase from about 20% today to perhaps 35%-40% in the future. This helps us
staff nights and weekends and gives us added flexibility as we grow. We would never replace a domestic
transcriptionist in the process. In fact, we plan to continue expanding our domestic workforce for years to
come. We hope that TRS Institute can become an offshore partner in the near future.”

I left a month ago, and couldn't be happier! They are the pits! Good luck. nm

may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm

Good luck getting those 10,000 lines

Any info on WriteNow Transcription? Did a search, but no results.
Thanks so much.
good come back don't ya get tired of all the
complaints? if they don't like it, they don't need to apply or stay or go or whatever
lol
Good for your sister. Wish I had tried that back in the 80s. sm
Now I'm spoiled working at home.  It's funny, now that I'm in my 50s, all these new career options come to mind. I would love to be a veterinarian. Too late in the game for that. If only I had known in my teens. sigh
Consider it a good thing they never got back to you..sm
I worked for them for a year. They never answer e-mails or get back to you regarding anything. The platform is great but the sound quality is horrible. They move you from account to account and I always ran out of work. Not the most professional company around.
We don't know why they were deleted. It was good bounce back and forth sm
There were a few of us from Keystrokes posting and a few MTs that were with KS and left and a few that are looking.
No one knows why they were pulled.
This is the not the wishes of KS to have them pulled; it is better to leave them up for honest opinions than to pull them and have everyone think worse than they were.
They are a very good company. I went back and am happy I did.
Not cheerleading just being honest. They have always treated me extremely well.
So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back
I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs? Just so I know! TXs
Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
name either. Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company. Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road.
I love the K. Long reports, good lines.

Question for anyone currently with DSG. Do you find it is difficult to get good lines there.
I started recently and seem to find it rather difficult to get a good line count for some reason. Help appreciated.
