I am looking to work for a company who is looking for some overflow help, 300 lines a day.  I am willing to give and take a little in regards to the work schedule.  If some days there is not enough to get 300 lines that is fine and if some days there is an abundance of work and you may require more from me, that is fine also.

I would love to find a company who uses a transcription-friendly software like DocQScribe (not sure of spelling) or Inscribe.  I am also looking for a flexible schedule, where I can just hop on throughout the day and transcribe.

Does anybody know of such a company?  I would be more than grateful to hear of any.

Thanks so much!!!!

I'm an MT with 6+ years of acute care experience and a mom of 4.  I love working at night when kids are in bed.  I like the company I work for but they are starting to get very picky about working the assigned schedule.  I received a call today stating that if was not going to be typing for a 5 minutes or more I am to log out.  The problem is that I don't know how long it will take to calm down an upset child or lookup a new medication for the report I'm working on. 

So the bottom line is that I need a company that will be flexible with my schedule.  I would really llike to find a company that hires ICs.  So is there anyone out there that works for a company who offers a flexible schedule? I,m willing to run out of work occasaionlly and I love working at night and on the weekend.  I would even take a pay cut to get a company that will work with me.

Thanks,

Mariah

Hi everyone.    I was offered a job per diem at 7.5 cents a line.  I am an acute-care with 29 years experience.   I think this is entirely too low.  People said that would consider increasing to 8 cents per line after a couple of weeks, but there is no guarantee.  My hubby went through the roof when he heard how much they wanted to pay me. 

I have a job right now that does not pay for spaces, rate is decent though 10 cents to 10.5 centers with no Sat work unless there is OT.    I have another job offer where I have been hired to start in Dec which pay will be 9 to 9.5 cents working Tuesday-Sat first shift and now this per diem job.  Per Diem job really offered me this job full-time, they have PT too but benefits were better at the job starting in Dec.  I do feel I am worth more and I just wanted to use them PT just for pocket money.  I told them I would try it for 2 weeks, and she said lots of MTs do that and then they go FT.  They do pay weekly too.   I am torn if I should even take this job at 7.5 as there is no guarantee they will give me more money.   I would just have to trust them and if they do not I know what to do.  Any advice.  I am supposed to train today.  I also have to decide if I want to stay where I am at 10 cents a line or go to a job that pays 9 cents a line with spaces counted and they do not care how long you work.  My 10 cents a line job now does not let you go past 40 hours.  Decisions, decisions.

How flexible are they with scheduling.  If something comes up in the middle of a shift or you need to make an appointment during that time, can you come on before or stay after your shift if you let them know ahead of time?  What if you are 15 minutes late, do you have to call in or just work an extra 15 minutes over? TIA

I think it's totall cool that y'all are doing this.  Our industry doesn't ever go out of its way to help us when docs dictate horribly (the low-talkers, the noisy room, the one who spells simple words the entire report, etc., etc.), but it sure isn't that way in most every other occupation (even nursing, for example).  So while we need to collectively stand up for ourselves and stop accepting such ridiculousness, it's survival, sanity, and everything else to work PT jobs.

From what I've read over time, it sounds like many/most of these PT jobs are where the MT clearly makes her own hours.  Am I terribly off-base here?  Just curious.

I, too, have my ins. covered by my hubby, so am interested in these posts.  Of course, I'm also really tired of the line counts and all at the Q.

Thanks for all this input.

Can anyone give me an idea of what companies offer the most flexible hours?  I can work fulltime, but my hours must vary slightly week to week.  I will always get my time in, but I am not able to commit to 9-5 or any "set" schedule.  I have 3 children and their schedules tend to change often.  Thanks.  I have 3 years of experience.
