Excited
Just finished training, they are extremelly thorough!!! I am thrilled to be starting with a company that is a "TEAM"
LOL - That's too bad. I was about to get really excited about that. :-)
s
I was all excited...
when I applied and they asked me to test just this past week. I was in the process of logging onto their testing site and ready to download the test/voice files and it would not download for me because I have Word XP Home Edition. You have to have the Pro Edition. Darn it anyway!
I'm SO excited!!!
Fed Ex just left after delivering my system and equipment for TransTech, which now makes me an official TT'er. I'm SOOOOOO excited to be on board with them after the great things I've read here.
(Yes, I am prepared for someone to trash TT in response and attempt to rain on my parade, but the attempt will be be futile cuz I'm totally jazzed to be on board with them!!!  )
I am totally excited!
I can't wait to get my packet to see what this is all about. I will not be leaving MQ.
Whooohoooo!!! I am excited!
 Thank you so much!
Thanks. I'm nervous and excited. nm
I was just hired, too. I am very excited.

Did it ever occur to anyone that this gal is EXCITED about her
.
When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
excited in a scared hopeless kinda way
I agree...not all bad. Initially was very excited about working for them.
As far as the Shorthand program, I don't know - could just be my particular program. All I know is it cost me a lot of time adding in just the basics of what I needed.
Management couldn't have been better, and communication was there, but that only goes so far.
I was also off QA after a week, but I would rather not have been. I was pretty unsure about a lot of things regarding account specifics that were unclear, so I sent a lot of reports to QA anyway. For the most part QA was reasonable, but there were some things that I thought were not. Just one example that has stuck with me: The doc said, She gets her meds from (s/l) parcel (I thought, as in parcel post). Then I thought it might be a drugstore named Parcell/Parsell. I also thought it might be some type of state program where they paid for meds in part, as in partial. So I went searching account specs for parcel/partial, and didn't find anything - ended up leaving a blank. Well, when I got my QA back, I was told it was Parshall - it's on the account specs - and I should have found it. Lo and behold, it was there ok - on the cities list! After that, I wasted even more time searching account specifics, second-guessing myself, afraid I would miss something, fretting over the most minute things that had nothing to do with patient care whatsoever. I should have felt free to leave a blank after searching the first time and wait for QA feedback, but because of the example above, I didn't.
I finally got a grip and quit, and I'll never put myself in a position like that again.
Okay.. It is just so unusual to see anyone on this board so excited to hear about a new job.. Maybe
we've all just become too cynical. They must be newbies though. Boy oh boy has the newness of jobs wore off. I have been looking but I just never get that excited. I just think, oh, I just hope this one is better than the last bad experience. It is hard not to get cynical sometimes, isnt it? We all just want a place to call home and there is just so much disappointment out there. I was impressed that they were so excited and couldnt wait to here from PMSI.. oh well back to my drawing board. I guess time will tell if it is everything they were hoping for.
I may have a job near my home with full benefits. I'm so happy and excited. sm
I'm the one that had been having so many problems and heart ache with these companies I was trying. I quit MQ about three weeks ago and I have been through one company and others that seemed to be not too good. I may have a job for $25/hr with full benefits near my home. I am just hoping and praying that this will be the job for me. I have to drive a ways but at least I think I will get along with the supervisor. She seems so nice. I am so excited. Hopefully it does not fall through:(
Show of hands: Who at MQ is excited its finally OCTOBER?
 Packet time and for many, Big Decision time...
Yep. couldnt tell you excited we were to find out why we dont hardly have any work. Obviously, it is
going elsewhere and so are we.

What determines their line? I am stressed these days. Thanks.

Sorry, title should read I Believe That...

Re: Why would anyone be WILLing to slave over this work for 27-YEAR-OLD wages?
Actually would be correct to have just said regressive wages...
Correction
this isn't clear:
The corporations call the shots with YOUR Congress/government primarily because AMERICANS are so easily pacified and distracted by the toys these corporations made for that exact purpose.
They (corporations) call the shots because of their influence; and CONGRESS helped to give them that power in the late 1800s by passing certain laws which gave the corp. similar rights to individuals...
I mixed two thoughts originally...
Correction - sorry
feedback on that PROGRAM (i.e. Isagenix), not problem.
rad pay correction
I need to clarify this was only for emergency coverage and is temporary. My supervisor informs me that once we go to VR, only 2 inhouse full-time transcriptionists will be used and those positions are filled.
correction
meant same nonexistent or uncommon email service provider

Worked for them in mid 90s, not 80s....it's been a long day!

Whoops! I meant places, not placed.....
Correction...Not 12 cpl...
You'd have to make between 10.72 and 10.1 cpl for straight typing to make 7.5 cpl for ISR at Webmedx. I don't think a relative newbie with only 5 years experience is making over 8.5 cpl starting with Webmedx. Correct me if I'm wrong. I just don't believe it for a minute.
Just a correction...sm
your base rate is NOT $9....it is based on YOUR line rate, so for everyone it is different. I actually get quite a bit more than that. Also, Medware has more than one platform, so what is happening on the Dictaphone side is NOT necessarily happening on the Merit side, and not everyone is unhappy on the Dictaphone side. Not THAT many have left. Just so you know and can make an informed decision.
Correction.
Completely different atmosphere on CMX side.

Whoops, I meant to say I HOPE, not I CAN. It's way late where I am, so I had best pack it in for the night. Sorry for the error.
Correction: Above should be "...NO announcement..." NM

Correction to post - sm
I have also seen positive and negative things mentioned about virtually every transcription company discussed on this web site. Didn't mean to say companies that YOU discussed on this web site!!

OSI - I am so sorry - PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION
Note correction in CAPS
If you do control S for a job and click on statistics you will get a number of lines. If you are on OSI's very own line cheating Xpress server, that number will be much HIGHER (NOT LOWER) than the IChart line count. Do this. Do only one job for the day then write down the correct line count using the above method. Go to IChart although it may take hours to show up so you may want to do this on a day off. There is your proof. I-CHART LINES ARE LOWER THAN OSi X-PRESS LINES. The reason the correct statistics are disabled on the XPress server is because OSi is skimming lines and don't want you to see the correct number. OSI is diligently trying to eventually get every possible account on their very own XPress server so they can cheat on all accounts. Rest assured that they are billing the client for the correct line count. I could not make any money with OSI because of their dishonesty. Dictaphone Extext is a good system but OSI could change how it was set up and rip the MT's off.
Correction - sorry for confusion
I apologize for not checking this before -- I just found a problem with my suggestion, so here's the deal:
You are better off forcing the format - as you did to h:mm:ss (or hh:mm:ss), to ensure that all cells display consistently. This does force you to have to enter more digits for hours though.
There is a shortcut for entering data -- for 00:05:12 (5 minutes, 12 seconds), you can type: 0:5:12
For 00:05:01 you can type 0:5:1
This may be more foreign than just adding the extra leading zero, but if you're hyper about cutting every keystroke, you can....
Then when you add down a column, there's nothing special to do in the sum.
Sorry for any confusion.
Holidays correction
I'm sorry the above poster is right. If you want off you have to take it without pay or use PTO. You get paid extra if you work the holiday...which to me is a bonus as so many don't pay anything extra for holidays. Sorry for the confusion.
Whose QA gets paid per correction?
We get paid hourly, although I do know there are some who get paid per line. The folks I know paid per line get credit for the full report, not just their corrections. They also are the first blamed if a client reports an error in a report that has passed through QA.
Correction - "a few WORDS"....

correction to first post
Oops--I know ISDN is a location-to-location thing so that's out as far as working for a national. I recall a while back that several MTs mentioned they worked for nationals using hughes.net/satellite. Thanks again for any info.
correction low not lowl

CORRECTION - not post right above, the mean one

Correction to my above post. I just looked
and I apologize. I had to wait until the 1st of the next month, not the 15th (maybe it just seemed longer) for that money to be in the bank. So for that payroll from the 1st until the 15th, I had to wait until the 1st (though the payroll was late). Guess all the waiting just seemed longer. That still is the longest I have had to wait for a payday. So when I quit, I also had the same thing. I just went through the paperwork.
In any event it SEEMED like a very long time and particularly with some of the paydays being late.
I do apologize as I certainly do not like to give incorrect info.
When you have kids though it does hurt. In other words, I started on the 1st of the month and first paycheck was not until the 1st of the next month except it was late.
Correction: Should NOT expect to be paid

correction to thin-skinned
I meant I don't really THINK that is necessary...
Oops-correction, s/b learned!
Need more coffee! 
oops, correction, spoke too soon -- sm
OSi does not appear to offer health insurance, etc. on their website ... they do offer holiday pay and other nice things ...
Correction to Minnie Mouse
Whoops, I meant to say lowly MT, not lowly MD. (That wouldn't be me, I hated science.) I was up nearly all night last night working. No work shortage here. Anyway, sorry I made an error in typing, hope the grammar/typing cops don't launch their grenades at me. :)
Correction to last sentence of my post...sm
It should have read:
Doing so makes you as unethical as the accusations being made.
