I would think we can safely assume that. nm

night work
I realize you're only talking about evening into early morning hours here, but there are some things you may want to consider:
If you're not used to staying up late, at first you may find it easier to fall asleep as soon as you get home because you'll be exhausted. But once your body becomes used to this schedule, I would count on 1-2 hours of unwind time before you fall asleep after getting home. Been there; done it. Then add 7 to 8 hours of good, sound rest before your daughter needs you.
Breaking up your sleep pattern will not be good in the long run because it will take its toll on your health. Naps are okay for short-term use but you really need deep, undisturbed sleep to function well, stay healthy, and not be irritable all day. This advice comes from my college Psych class and personal experience over many years. And as I'm sure you know, a special needs child takes extra care and that in itself draws on your mental and physical resources before you even head off to work.
If you're someone who can't stay up past 10 or 11 now, your production is going to suffer while you fight sleep. It's going to take time to try to re-program your body and using stimulants like coffee or caffeine to get you through your shift takes a futher toll on your health and might make it harder to fall asleep once you get home.
If you think of yourself as a night person you might be able to make this work. If you're not, I'd think twice. You can't really change your body's programming. The best you'd be doing is compromising it. I really don't think the money is worth the trouble you're headed for if this would not come naturally to you. If I were you, I'd look for a schedule that works WITH my body's timing so that the whole time is spent producing when I am physically and mentally naturally at my best. Your increased production during this time could meet or exceed the $17.
Hope this helps some!
No work at night either. sm
The only time my account has work, if I'm lucky, is Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday and usually during the day. By the night time on those days the work is usually gone. On Monday it is usually gone. I took another part time job back in March and I'm glad I did.

I worked last night and never ran out of work???
not sure why some are and some are not. Hmmm...maybe those running out are not staying signed in?
I pulled eve/night so that I could get work...sm
NADA NADA. Left after my 2-week training.
They probably work night shift to get 10/5.
From what I was told, everyone is given the same rate regardless of whether you have 2 years' experience or 20.
Run out of work every single night.
None, unless you work both weekend days on the night shift. nm

I work 2nd shift, and I ran out last night -- never has happened on a Sunday. nm
Big time..They usually have the Indians work at night and weekends. It can be frustrating to log in
and have their not be a lot of work on the account your on. The only Escription account that has extra work is the one in which the hospital had them agreed NOT to send their transcription to India. Otherwise, we have to share our work with our partners as they call them.
As my daughter would say
Don’t be a hater. Sorry you are probably having to do VR and just cannot get up to making a decent salary. You don’t pay my salary so again just slide back under that rock and don’t worry about how I do my job and that is not here on this board. Now slither along.
When my daughter was little, s/m
One day she parked herself on the floor next to me and set up a board game with a stuffed animal opposite her for her to play with. I about cried. I stopped and played with her for a little bit. She's 17 now; hang in there!! My kids were used to me working, and behaved pretty much.
I understand about your daughter.
How long do you think your marriage will last? If he doesn't see you only for the weekends, I think that would put a strain on things. This is just my opinion. I have seen it done and be successful, but two days a week seeing your husband is not many especially with a special needs child.
I agree. My daughter
has a Honda Civic which is not a hybrid but gets phenomenal mileage! Her next car will be their hybrid.
Anything we can do to help clean up this mess for our children and grandchildren.
Yep and the boss's daughter
I tell you, the incompetence of that company was truly amazing! And before anyone starts in, yes, I am working and actually DO like the company I am working for.
I forgot another thing: When I started, they forced me to buy a footpedal for like $150 that they claimed was necessary because only this pedal would work with their software. I believe the owner's husband had something to do with the company that sold this footpedal. Guess what, a footpedal I had from a different company worked with SS software, as I later found out.
I also at one point worked for Medquist and, believe me, SoftScript was WORSE, if that is at all possible.
I have called my daughter that but she is
mixed. What term would apply here?
Must be you're the daughter, eh?
Coming to the defense of your mother who gave you access to the queue?
I hear you, only it was my daughter at Christmas
$500 per a 2 week period was just not cutting it and not even able to verify my lines with the worst dictation imaginable, 2-3 minute reports with not one ESL spelling their name, putting their correct number or correct patient name, or being courteous enough to spell anything. All I did was constantly search or send to QA of which they did not think I was digging hard enough!!! That is what our profession is now.
No, but my daughter attends Stanford!
My daughter works for WalMart
plus excellent benefits, super cheap health care, vacation, etc.
LOL. That's my daughter's Christmas list.

If you were my daughter, I'd strongly recommend SM
you go for it. Furthering one's level of education is an extremely wise move for anyone, you're ultimately setting a good example for your children, and a degree in nursing can be taken many directions, including right back home to type for a while if needed (but the Walmart option so many here seem to seriously consider will never need to be among them!).
I'm not Joann's daughter or a hairdresser, but

The hospital in the town where my daughter
goes to college sends their x-rays to Australia to be read.
My daughter put this on her computer as wallpaper tonight ...
She has excellent grammar, by the way, and she put it up as a joke. When I saw it, I thought of this thread!
Arse kisser Joann's daughter
Your a dreamer and oblivious to everything around you. One need only look as far as this blog to see that SoftScript is not exactly what one would call a cream of the crop company. No, far from it. I don't believe I'm alone; furthermore, just because someone does not like a company does not mean that they could not cut the mustard but more means that they could not cut through the BS. Get you head out of the sand and open your eyes to sick reality that is called SoftScript.
So you quit and now no job, daughter to support, unemployment?
Have you only been in the work force for a short while? This is business. Like I said, nothing personal about you but they are running a business and we are not important as far as family concerns most of the time to them, only to do their work. Do you think now that quitting was a good idea? I would have just answered the question as yes and let it go at that, not try to read something else into it.
day and night
Overall transform is good. I'd say stay away from accounts with Lisa P as manager. She is moody and flies off a lot. Or should I just say unpredictable.
Transform is good as they are pretty flexible on hours and the platform is pretty decent to work on.
Try a night out and look for a man.
and you might make some cashews along with those peanuts. They are also delicious covered in chocolate, but that may require you get a few more lines in.
Hey, don't be bitter, reconsider! Some of us have learned a lot of from this board.
Chillax! Life is waaaaay too short! 
P/S: Bubble baths and a glass of wine can also cure this kind of demeanor.... Try it some time. You might like it.... 
Nothing since last night in the ER.
Must be no one has gone to the ER because that is what my account is.
Its only you - last night I
I hate to have to start looking for another job, but things just keep getting a little worse all the time on my accounts.
more $ for night and weekends
0.005 per line from 6 pm to 11 pm. from 11 pm to 6 am 0.01 per line. How the heck can we keep track of this stuff? More time will be spent calculating the time sheet than earning it!!
Thank you very much! :) Have a great night. NM

I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
How they sleep at night
They sleep just like the guys over at MQ sleep. More and more this business is getting down and dirty. I feel for you all.
How they sleep at night
MQ and Heartland are both scum, cut from the same greedy cloth.
Run screaming into the night!
I worked there for 11 years. The last few years have been a gradual decline, but big changes came on 1/1/06. My experience since then: Felt like a 6 year old who needed to be watched every minute. I was PT and could not take time off without making it up. So that's not really time off, is it? The whole place was confused about personnel policies. Never got straight answers. What a mess! I left and found a gem of a company and am very happy. There are MUCH better companies out there.
Nowhere does it say anything about taking our night
differential (not that I can find, anyway). They took one bonus and replaced it one other and another on the way. Rarely do I run out of work. They could have cut our pay even more to get us on a more even keel with the other nationals that only pay 50%. At least that didn't happen yet. It's not a bad place to work. I have always been paid on time, have a good PS and WFC, accrue PTO even though I'm only part time (30 hours per week). 
Difference is night and day
I love Keystrokes! No etime to fill out, ever! Great leads, great office support staff. Pay rate was about the same or slightly above what I made at MQ. I am happy I made the switch.
How can they sleep at night?

Think I tested the next night. Thanks much. nm

l can vouch. Last night many saying OT sm
and had 0 jobs available. Don't just look at the notice that the account is on OT.
I think it's 0.025 each for evening, night

NIGHT WORKER
Thank you for the clarification. It is apparent that one of two scenarios is happening here. You are either charging too little of your client, undercutting all competition, or you are keeping too much of the profits for yourself!!
Since you have direct contact with this client, why not train them to train the horrible, ESL, fast-talking dictator!!
BTW, I work the night shift, so the time I spend here is my own time, as if that is any of your business.
They can sleep at night because
they have no conscience. Look at how many people were done in by MQ. Do you think the MQ pooh-bahs care? Nah, they're too busy on their yachts. I hope they one day join Mr. Madoff where they belong.
Wow, just what I was thinking last night...
new company, new kid on the block, nothing but one dictation after the other of windy, whispering Indian female docs, me wondering if I'm the only one working (shouldn't be) or if it's deliberate to test me in some way. My head hurt from holding my good earphones tight to my ears to get the job done, even flipped my AC off (and it was near 90 here), longest 8 hours I've ever worked but baby, I got the job done. Hope tonight's better, ha-ha.
You may sleep well at night
thinking all is well because you have provided for your family. Yes, you have provided them with food and the basica, maybe, but what about selling out in order to do so? What you are really doing is subscribing to a very dangerous philosophy called THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. Many tragedies of a global nature have been brought about by just this kind of thinking. Study history.
Good night, Steph
I hate people who see nothing but black and white.....there is some gray area in there too
I took their test last night with no problem..sm
had no problem using the software they provided..
where did Amphion post from last night go?
