727-573-7704. They are located in St. Petersburg, Fl. Since I am the former recruiter/transcription manager you can be sure this information is correct. You would need to ask for Suzanne. the owner or the new manager, Betsy. As for the name calling, it is hardly appreciated.

Have reached the magical age
Past retirement now although still working because I like to make money. Anyway, this is a good age because if things go keplunk, oh well, have my social security and retirement check to fall back on. But really, the hospital where I have worked for the past 19 years has had electronic records for, I think about 6 years and the MTers are still around.
Life IS short, and some of us have reached -
a point later in that short life where the job we once loved is now screwing us, and there is no longer the time, the energy, nor the money to go back to school to learn how do do something else. We made the mistake of putting all our eggs in the MT basket decades ago, when the MT profession was completely different. It changed for the worse, we stuck it out, believing things would turn around, and they didn't. If bitchin' about it makes me feel a little better, so I can get up each morning and keep plugging away at the only thing I know how to do, I certainly don't need any judgement from someone who is probably in the same position, but too full of themselves to admit it.
I think it's when a post keeps getting hits after it's already reached a certain # of viewings

Thank you! Most people in the business are busy and most have a number where they can be reached.
They put it out there for a reason. Sometimes it is impossible to get back with people that you have every intention to get back with and that's why you tell them that if for some reason you cannot get back to them, to call you back. I know I have been told that and I have followed through and usually they were very glad that I called them back. It has happened with a few companies. It is not that they do not care. It is that they are very busy with the current applicants because it is not that they just get just one application a day from MTs. Many companies get many applications a day and I don't know many companies that have multiple recruiters.
"We cont' 2 hire&reached the point where we
How's that for being so blunt? Okay!
I've just about reached that boiling point I talk about
'treading water' until our government does its little changeover in January. Then, whoever ends up in office, as well as those who work beneath them, are going to start hearing some MAJOR complaints about the MT industry. I have a friend who is always talking about 'the Power of the Pen'... meaning that the written word can be a powerful weapon if it's used correctly. And for MTs, who are in the BUSINESS of words, I think we have a vast, untapped power to get some changes made in the MT industry. If the MTSO's are going to reap greater financial gains by sending a major part of our work offshore and exploiting overseas workers, and then turning around and exploiting US by trying to make us work for 3rd-world pay, then by golly, let them pay for that privilege.
I think the MT motto for the year 2009 should be 'NO MORE BUSINESS-AS-USUAL'.
Things can't get much worse in this industry, so I believe there was never a better time for a major overhaul of it than 2009 and beyond. Time to 'out' the MT industry, make it a household word, and clean its dirty laundry.
Workload has reached a manageable level with everyone working scheduled hours.
Voluntary OT is still available on some accounts.
What do you mean the best charts? Do we get charts?
i don't get it
Charts In Time
Can anyone give positives or negative for Charts In Time in Florida? Sounds really great!
Charts in Time does too.

Charts in Time
Just to clarify .. and I certainly did not have to come back and do this .. so keep that in mind .. when I made up that moniker I thought it was catchy .. it does not reflect anything positive or negative about the company. We are a smaller company with lots of work, new clients coming on in June, and are looking for talented and professional transcriptionists who can and will come and work with us to achieve mutual goals. We are growing and I have a great group who work with us .. we've had one or two exceptions and those people have moved on and with luck secured other positions where they will be able to carry on and make a living. So, I don't think there was anything sneaky or misleading in my post .. and I will stop trying to catch your eye .. perhaps people who want a good position with an honest company will respond. I live in hope and so far, we have been particularly fortunate with our hires and for that I am so thankful.
Happy Mother's Day to all who are. Have a wonderful day!
Docs using PC's instead of charts sm
The younger docs are now carrying laptops into the examining room, no more charts. My husband and I had extensive, large charts (which we earned through serious stuff) and now they have been replaced by the young staff coming in with a laptop, no more charts. I was not brave enough to ask at my last visit but I will this visit, Where are our huge charts? Mine used to make comments about the large chart and too many papers. I wanted to say, Do you ever read any of those reports? Very curt, very non-caring attitude, told me last time had had input all my allergies (which are serious) into his computer. I am really worried as my husband and I have been through a lot. I think they could very easily print a H&P from there if you went into a hospital. Two of my clients used to do open heart surgery and they would ask me to print out a H&P from the chart just before the surgery. Some of those people they had not seen in years. I explained that I would not do that as the patient could have developed an illness since last seen. You gotta thank computers for replacing us. Between outsourcing and electronic medical record, we are becoming distinct as the dinosaur. Just IMHO from this area anyway.

NEED HELP - getting reports into digital charts (sm)
Our company is having difficulty getting our reports we transcribe in microsoft word and send by internet to the company -- put into any digital chart they are trying to create ----- to meet the mandate coming up in about 2010.
They are caving to the idea that all transcription MUST be done by voice recognition in order for everything to MESH -- if you get my drift.
I can't believe that it is necessary to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Also, I have never seen a doctor's pay be the same as an MT - and thus wouldn't their time be better spent generating income than doing clerical work?  but then what do I know -- I'm ONLY an MT. grrr
anyway, has anybody worked through this conundrum and been able to find a program to transcribe on that is compatible with any type of EMR (electronic medical record) program - which I personally thing EMR stinks and should be burned in the pit.
There must be programs that are compatible that allow transcription to still be done (we are the last stopgap measure against errors that happen - we do much more than just type -- do they know this?) and still allow doctors to sputter out their hurridly done dictations as they scurry about -- leaving them available to actually see patients rather than sitting there doing corrections.
Thanks for any help you all.
send email or answer here -- either would be totally appreciated. 
Not when those charts have to go through 2 layers of editing before going to the site. sm
Someone in india types them and sends them to MW, where an Editor does a 100% review, and if there are still blanks, it goes to another level of MW editor. You've just paid 1 Transcriptionist and 2 editors for what 1 U.S. transcriptionist could do. I don't understand the benefit, either.
I think a bigger reason for the cut in editor pay was due to too many editors doing too little work. When you work from home at an hourly wage, it's really easy to slack off, take way too long looking up a word, doing other things other than working, and chatting on team mail. I don't blame them for going to a per-line rate, though it is insultingly low.

I am so glad, so very glad that finally I have reached
the age that if we are low on work, I just take off. No problem at all and love the extra day or so off. I now have worked since the 70s and finally made to retirement age, get SS plus other retirement money coming in and thank the good Lord do not have to worry about if there is work or not. BTW, when I worked inhouse never ran out of work ever, only when transferring out to company do they run out of work. If I had to raise a family now I would most certainly cross train on other accts at my place but only have 1 that I work on, by choice.
