Where do you live? The hospital I work for has two openings and they pay hourly, SM
but they require that you train in-house for at least the first 90 days (sometimes it is shorter/longer depending upon how quickly you pick up the nuances of the job) and you are required to come in for quarterly department meetings
Check the website for Employee info/job openings. nm

Line counts doing hospital work
Does anyone truly get more than 250-300 lph doing hospital work? If so, where do you work?
Went from hospital to company using DQS, line count has definitely went down, don't get paid for
demographics even if we have to enter them in. I've put a lot more abbrev in my Expander since switching over to DQS to help compensate.
No. Teaching Hospital account, too many dictators = low line count = little $$$. nm

The hospital may pay a line rate to the VR company based on usage...nm

Can you check your line count (sm)
are you paid for headers/footers on your account?
How can we check our line counts
I have asked for a way to determine what my line count is for every chart, and I still don't know how they're determined. I have a much lower line count than with my last company. How do you know the lines are being skimmed? How can we tell?
Used to use this in a hospital setting, admin could change the number of characters per line (sm)
at one point they had us typing an 80 character line. Talk about zapping your line rates down. Of course we worked for an hourly rate so it really didn't matter, just management's way of pushing us to do more. They only required 800 lines per day for a FT MT so they were trying to get their moneys worth I guess.
that was working for a hospital direct, honestly calibrated line count...
11 cpl, easy, easy dictators on a pull up a number, type/type, save and repeat system.
those days have been discussed on this board before, and those days, unfortunately, are over.
It's a buyers market.
I routinely check my line count against theirs
nm
Where do I send my line count and when do I get my check?
:+
I check the line counts constantly.-sm
Believe it or not, they're accurate. I have a program that counts these. I wouldn't work for anybody any other way.
When I check my line count, there is no problem at all. nm

Double check your line counts.
p
you can check line count anytime
no headers and footers are not paid, but line count is always available with number of reports by using the Sessions statistics within the program and I believe is correct.
Before you knock the MT, check line #6 of your OWN post..nm
Bottom line---Check with your supervisor.
If the CP does not state to insert apostrophes and you are to follow BOS2, then QA is wrong. The only way to clear this up is to ask someone who has the authority to make that decision.
We can't name other sites here for some reason, but ...
It's the big well-known site where just medical transcription jobs are listed. If you do a search under Google for medical transcription jobs it should come up as the first site -- it did for me.
Good Luck!!
I like it! Most sites having to do with career changes - sm
seem to be geared to high-powered professional types, or computer geniuses. We're in such a NICHE, (or is that just a nice word for 'RUT'?), and our skills are specialized. Also, quite a few of us have been doing this for 20 or 30 years, and have specific problems with changing careers because we concentrated all our energies into MT. I, myself, lack the BA Degree so many places seem to want, even for lower-paying jobs. I only got as far as an AA Degree, and it's in Art. Totally useless. So, currently looking not too far down the road to my 60s, the thought of going back to school (which for me would mean all the way back to high school math, chemistry, etc.), just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Still, I have to eat..........
I think they have their sites set higher. See msg.
Our goal is to steadily increase offshore volume although to the extent that our
revenue grows rapidly it could certainly be a challenge to increase the
percentage of our total volume that we’re processing offshore
I found the above from the lengthy meeting notes from July 29 of this year. It is at the top paragraph of page 6. Transcend wants to offshore. There's no stopping them.
Put about 20 resumes out on different MT job sites
Waited for someone to contact me and they did. It will happen eventually. You need to be specific with what you want and don't want. It's an everyday chore until you get the offer that best suits you.
I routinely double check line counts
I have audited my line counts often using Sylcount and the line counts are always pretty much right on compared to BayScribe. I have no reason to believe they fudge on line counts, but I would never take someone's word for it, so I always run audits periodically myself. It has never been a problem.
ChartNet is a 70 or 75 character line count. Check into it. nm

they do not pay for spaces, line count not verified, check archives!! nm

Well, you should have no reason to check if you're one of the MTs who gets good line counts.

I thought someone posted on here about 75 char line, and can't check lines...nm

We could check our line counts up-to-the-minute with CTRL I inhouse n/m

Both job sites are free postings I believeo
Frankly it is doubtful that MT will even seen the post. She was posting June 15.
Most company web sites have testimonials from LOTS of employees, not just one. sm
Kind of makes you think, doesn't it? They just use that one tired rave review of yours.
As far as not having a problem with you being gone -- you're an IC! You're SUPPOSED to be able to be gone when you need to be. It is another place that doesn't seem to know the meaning of the idea of being an IC, although that is par for the course nowadays and I really cannot point them out as being the only one who does that.
It would seem best to let the CardioScribes thread die, but you had to bring it to the foreground again. 
Google for hospitals in a radius around you and then hit their web sites. Most places have employ

Someone crashed 1 of USMLSU's hosting servers, but we have 3 backup sites :)
There are people that definitely feel threatened by this show of solidarity and the discord with reason.
Over the weekend one of the hosting company servers used by the Initiative (donated server space, bandwidth and email services to us) was hit with a SYN flood. The hosting company was rendered helpless for a few hours, because the attackers used lots of different IP addresses, but we have 3 other backup sites because we anticipated something like this.
They are afraid because we are all agreeing on many things that are wrong with our chosen industry. They are afraid because they have mistreated and cheated many of us, and if we are not at each other's throats they are no longer in control of our futures.
I have seen more intelligent, informed posts on this board in the past month than ever in my many years of visiting this site. I have faith in our joined strength and do believe that we are making a difference.
Why else would a server hosting company have only ONE server attacked this weekend - the server that housed one of our 4 sites.
The owners of WebHostPad are livid and bound and determined to prosecute the attackers. We have angered some powers that be to the point that they are willing to destroy a local business to stop us?
Nah. I don't think so.
any openings
I have six years experience the last two include transcribing and QA. Looking for a PT job to supplement. Prefer microcassette/dictaphone but will also do FTP. Multi-specialty, peds, OB/GYN, family practice, etc.... Please let me know if anyone has any leads or you are a company looking for help. I have at least 98% accuracy. I can provide excellent references.I can start immediately.
openings
I have over five years experience in numerous specialities. The last two years I have also completed QA. I am looking to supplement income with new accounts. I would prefer mircocassette or dictaphone accounts but will do others. Please email with any opportunities.
Job openings
Hi am from Canada, and am looking for a MT job from home. Currently I work for 20 doctors in Edmonton Alberta and am wanting to work from home so bad. I want to start part time, gradually into full time so I can quit my 9 to 5 job at the clinic. Any ideas>>>Anyone heard of Superior Global Inc. I received a phone call from them, it is a 1-800 number I cannot access from Canada. Go figure!!
Desperate here.
MT openings
This is just a guess, but there have been so many posts in the last 6 months or so about low work at multiple companies that it's possible that they are just slowing down their hiring and that's why you aren't getting any responses. Also, if you really want to leave your present company you may have to be willing to compromise a bit on what you are looking for and open up your job search to companies you had not considered before.
Is this a rad acct and do they have openings? (nm)
xx
I would apply right away. I know there are only 2 openings right now. sm
I think any company would love to have someone with stability apply, and a resume can be informal.
Yep, they said they have no openings at this time
x
Does anyone know of any current openings sm
for account manager/supervisor working from home? Thanks!
hourly QA openings
Try Medquist, we have openings, all positions are hourly, QA specialists (filling in blanks) and QA auditor (client reviews). Apply on their website under professional opportunities.
Why not ask them if they have Extext openings?
:)
True IC openings
A couple of days ago there were some posts about jobs with no set schedules and true IC status. Several people emailed me, and I gave you names of companies. FYI, one is hiring right now. They have an ad out but it isn't on the board here. It will be the one I said for sure had no schedule. I wish I could email you personally but I somehow deleted all the emails - sorry.
They only have a few VR for radiology and there are no openings. sm
They do not yet do HIM VR editing and I do not think that they are going that way any time soon. If they do, it will be few and by choice.
Probably not you at all, number of openings sm
and number applying. On MT stars you can see how many views the ad had, some up to 2800, may be 1 opening, so look how many passed over. Just keep applying. I have seen this same concern frequently in other posts here and on MTDaily.com so don't think it is you particularly. Just hangggg in.
Not sure if there are Rad openings. I do acute care...
OPs, DS, HP, and CS. Been here since September and have never been happier with a job. Website is www.mditrans.com.
Yes, talk to your manager about whether s/he has any openings for
FT MTs.
Archivus Weekend Openings
Anyone tested for Archivus for the weekend openings that were advertised about two weeks ago, have you heard back from them?

MT companies, with oncology specialist openings!
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!
