I interviewed and tested for a in-house job in January.  Good paying job with good benefits. I was told I would be called no matter what.  Never heard anything. Called and left messages. I have a prepaid Tracfone and ran out of minutes and couldn't afford any more until this past weekend.  Found a message on there from this hospital from the end of Feb.  I called back Monday and was basically told I had the job, that they were very impressed with me as I had done the best ever on the test.  Today she calls back and tells me she is sorry, but unbeknownst to her they had offered the job to someone else a few days earlier.  I am so upset. If I had gotten the message earlier, I would have had the job. I'm just beside myself.  She said they might have another opening later on if they can get it approved.  Yeah right in this economy?  I'm hoping down the road I'll find out this was for the best, but right now its a bad blow and I'm beating myself up. I do have a job now that I hate and am basically living in poverty.  Thanks for letting me vent. 

I like both platforms.  Bayscribe is easy to use, and the Expander emulates PRD+, which I was used to.  The spellchecker is kind of clumsy -- that could definitely use some tweaking.  The thing I liked the most about Bayscribe was at the end of each report, you saw the line count for that report and how much you made, plus a total of lines for all reports and the total number of lines you had made for the day.

I am currently using ExText, and it is also easy to use.  I have to go to ichart to view my line count, though, and you cannot get it on a report-to-report basis.   The CTRL+I feature is useless to me since my employer does not count headers or footers.  I quit using it because I hated to see what a big difference there was at the end of the day.  I could do 300 lines per hour on Bayscribe.  With the current setup, maybe 250.  I can do 300 if I just sit and type as fast as I can with no breaks, but that cannot last for 8 hours solid.

Either platform is okay.  I still kinda miss WP51 -- think DOS-based programs were faster -- but you can't hold on to a dinosaur.  And, obviously that is just my opinion.  Hope it helps. 

at first impressions. 

Mostly, just the usual -- are you happy there?  Would you recommend it to your friends?  Pay on time?  Work flow consistent? 

Thanks!

what they meant when they said typing skills?  That is so vague. 

Employee status or IC?

Benefits?

Work type?

Set schedule?

numbers to do your FAFSA.  There's a question on the renewal that asks if you've filed your taxes yet, you just say no.

I've not gotten my W2 from TT, and I don't see ANY excuse for that.
