Would someone who works for KS on the new occ. health account(s), please tell me what platform will be used for the new occ. health accounts, and how difficult this dictation is.  I have never done this type of dictation before.

Also, anyone who is working the new hem/onc account, please let me know either via e-mail or post here how you like this account and platform.

Thanks for your help.

exactly?  You dial in the number to the hospital and the report then comes up?  How is it really working with Meditech?  It must not be so bad that it can't be mastered eventually, everybody gets good line counts fairly easy with it.

THANKS!

How long did it take you from hire to actually working?  I was offered a position week before last and there's been a couple of snags with the paperwork along the way, but now that's all done and I'm starting to get a little frustrated with the delay.  Everyone there is really nice, though, when I do talk to them, so I really want this to work out.  But I got bills, and was really hoping to get work before the 15th so I could get a little money on the 1st, you know?

Thanks in advance. 

a year ago I was offered a position with KS.  There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put.  The rumors became fact and I had to find another job.  I just cannot make decent lines with new company.   I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference.  The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.

I  was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay).   I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.

Also, what kind of Expander can you use.   New job uses SH and I really don't like it. 

Yes, I know they were looking but I am leery of pursuing a job with a company I know nothing about.  I have posted queries on both MT Stars and MTDaily about this company and have received no replies.  I might just go ahead and take their test then see what comes of it though.  Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention!  Much appreciated.

Need part-time flexible hours and a decent line rate - prefer to work over the net.  I haven't been between jobs in a couple years now and here I am coming up short and before Christmas no less.  I have 10 years experience.  Any suggestions?  It doesn't sound like there is a single decent company listed on these boards that anybody truly likes to work for.

Plenty of work.  Don't know about the other questions.

Anyone out there work on the TT oncology account?  I have been working on this new account and would like to hear from other transcriptionists regarding  what they think of this account, software, able to get line counts, etc.

TIA

I started working at TT almost 2 months ago and was told they were inundated with work, but after working for about 2-3 weeks, the work has steadily dwindled.  I am scheduled to work the weekend but there is never enough work to get my hours on Sunday.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Also it seems to me that I don't get the line count there like I have with my other jobs.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Would like to hear what you think of the account and the company.  Thanks for any info.

Has anyone started on the 2 new oncology accounts for Keystrokes?  If so, how are they?  Do you like the platform?  Are you able to get good lines?

TIA

Looking for input from transcriptionists who work for TT on the big oncology ASR account.  Would you please share how this account is insofar as getting your required line count.  I have been working in hem/onc for over 7 years and having trouble finding regular transcription work in this field so I am thinking of going to ASR.  Are you able to make enough money to live doing this account?  Is it difficult to learn the Escription platform?

One more thing...does TT hire any PT (30 hours per week) workers or not?  Flex schedule at all?

Thanks for your input.

Hello,

I am highly interested in the MT companies who have current openings in oncology as the speciality of choice!  I have 5 years' experience as an MT.  I am now doing orthopedics, which is good, but I really love doing oncology, for personal reasons.  I am looking for pay per line either equal to OR above my pay that I receive now.  I have worked for a little over one year for the company I work for now, and I received an actual raise for all of my hard, but enjoyed, work.  Also, I should mention that I have NEVER worked for any companies, in my life, that do not give raises every year.  As long as the work warrants it, and everything else keeps going up in price, i.e. GAS prices, and etc, I think that it should be given to us hard-working MTs!!  After all, this is a REAL job, and not just a job that is taken lightly by some of us, who actually NEED to make a living off of this type of work, and also enjoy doing it!

So, if your company has what I would like to have in an employer, contact me, and we will talk seriously about it.  I would just love to hear from you!

I was wondering if the oncology account out of Texas was staying in work of if it was in a slump.  I used to work on it and was looking at going back, if they are needing help, but was not sure if it was keeping work or not.  I sure do miss it.  You can email me privately.  Thanks.
