Once that happens, they get you installed and going pretty quickly.
You can probably call them about the Lanier unit to see if they have any to rent to own.
When I worked with them, the insurance was very expensive and not very good. They have promised to get better, but that has been going on for a long, long time.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get (sm)
equipment deposit of $300 back from Spheris once you return their equipment? I don't know who to contact. All I get is a voice mail without a return call. Thank you.
Anyone know how long it takes to
get test results back from Precyse Solutions. Are they as good as their website claims?
Anyone know how long it takes
quitting Spheris? Thanks!
let's see how long it takes for THIS to get pulled
we have actually been told in the past to not post about them -- it's THAT BAD. Womanizing horrible ignorant piece of crap company that doesn't give a rip about you. If you like being treated like an idiot -- go for it!
Sometimes takes twice as long to edit?
I just finished my first hour of VRing and I did 561 lines, that is at 4 cents a line and that equals to over $22 for that hour. I could never straight transcribe that many lines in 1 hour.
Yes, 6 cpl is low but three years is NOT a lot of experience. It takes that long to become sm
semi-proficient and we look for at least 5 years because of that. I would not go higher than 7 cpl with only three years experience and I think this is starting to be the norm.
Think of other fields ... plumbing apprentices, electrician apprentices, printing apprentices, etc. It takes 5 years to be a journeyman. They start at $8.00/hour and move to cap which is around $30/hour but it takes 10 years to get there.
Even teachers ... it takes 5-10 years to get top pay.
Any field.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the computer deposit SM
back after returning the computer? Thanks.
Anyone know how long it takes to get contacted by Precyse after testing?
Any idea how long it takes to hear from All Type? sm
I've submitted my resume for their QA position, and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering if this could be due to the convention in Boston, or is this just the new trend in the application process? I've also submitted my resume to other companies, and there have been quite a few who haven't given even a short reply.
I know it's not because of a lack of experience, because I've been doing MT for over 15 years and QA for over 5. Any ideas of a great place to send my resume?
Do you know how long it typically takes them to respond to resumes sent in?

After testing for First Choice, can anyone tell me how long it takes to hear back? nm

I typed on a line that long way back when. Would NEVER do it again. Takes forever

Recently tested for MxSecure and just wondering if anyone can tell me how long it usually takes (sm)
to hear back from them. I felt like I did pretty good on the test, but I was just wondering if it usually takes a while for them to get back to you?
TIA!
Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking. I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
I think it depends on how long it took...
you to type the lines. You don't have to do this job and work full time; therefore, not all companies expect you to make that many lines per day..
It just depends on how long the report is. Are you paid by

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
There is at least 1 facility that requires US MTs only.
It is actually their largest account. I worked for them a few years ago and worked another service that did this same hospital. This hospital is very picky and absolutely will not allow any offshore work. I guess they will have to keep all US MTs on that particular account in order to keep it.
I would invite all DRC MTs to come on over to TransTech, you will find a home here.
Facility at fault?
If the facility has in-house MTs, they often outsource the crap work to the MTSO. It's another good reason why working inhouse might be better, if the jobs were available, and if we really wanted to go outside our homes, that is.
Contact the facility...
I don't think people are supposed to be sharing that information here.
I would call the HR for each facility and ask.
If it isn't done in-house or by their own home transcriptionists, they will usually tell you which company has the account.
I do not agree with what the facility...
is doing, either, and if you bothered to read my post above you would see that I said exactly that. But we cannot control what the facility does, we can only control what we do. Two wrongs don't make one right. That means, the MT either negotiates higher pay, finds a new job or gets out of the industry completely. By continuing to work the way she is, she is putting patients at risk.
All right, I've made my point here. We will have to agree to disagree. Have a nice day.
Medware does. Has their own training facility over there. nm

Any acute care facility. sm
That's the thing about hospitals - they run 24/7 - 365.
Regarding no work - if a facility is running
low on work and they have an inhouse staff, they will withhold work from MTSOs to keep their own employees busy. Just makes common sense.
P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.
In what state is the facility located?
Anyone ever hear of Spine One Medical Facility?
nm
More than 1/2 the time you don't get actual facility samples, tho, just
s
Or to work in an outside facility. Good luck to ya! :) nm

General Facility with a cast of TTers.

Does any facility hire MT directly as IC or employee for eScription? sm
I do not want to work through a service again. I am tired of running out of work. If anybody knows of any leads, even if they aren't hiring right now, please e-mail me privately. All responses will be confidential. I am looking for something for myself, not to be posted to others.
Thank you in advance.
MW has it's own training in facility in India, so offshoring is growing with them. nm

I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

It takes a while (nm)
nm
Only takes a second
Only takes a quick second to post a message if you have your MTStars alert set up to Radiology, Keystrokes or whatever company interested in, etc. It is not that time consuming. Gets interesting on occasion.
What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
I think there's about it takes about 2 weeks...
There's a processing time of about 2 weeks I believe, paperwork has to be sent to certain people and equipment has to be ordered and sent out to you. I'm not aware of it being based according to pay period. Just a side note, be sure you have DSL and if you don't, you'll need to order it right away to enable you to start on time.
I like it - takes some getting used to - new drugs, etc.
nm
It's not too bad but it takes some getting used to. My lines were down for about the first
month and then have surpassed what I was doing before. The accuracy is actually pretty good. I would say probably 80% or so. There is some editing of words and stuff but most of what I have found is punctuation and the like.
It takes time but can be done
First find where your templates are kept by clicking on Tools, Options, File Location where it will show you where your templates are stored.
Open your template. Click on Format, Style and then Modify then Format then font. After you modify the font size to what you want, click OK. Now you are back to Modify Style and check apply to template.
And I'm sure that's clear as mud! Good luck!
too much going in and out.....takes up too much time.
nm
Takes you 8 hours to do what? nm
nm
I can't tell you what to do as I have just started and it takes a while to
get to know your account and how things go, so I won't just jump on the bandwagon. However, if Webmedx has not returned your calls or email, why not give it a shot. Its not like you can't change your mind should Webmedx ever get back to you. I have changed jobs 3 or 4 times over the last year trying to find just the right spot that works for me. Time will tell if TT is the place for me or not.
Whatever it takes for family first IMO. (sm)
TT has more work coming on, these are good people who really care about us.
We still have to work some holidays but I saw a memo allowing us to flex our time that day to allow us to enjoy our family. The 2 major holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas you rotate, work one one year, the other the next. But it really is no problem if you can flex it around your family activities.
Good luck to you whichever way you choose.
It takes special ppl to do what we do. Either you have it or you don't. sm
Not everyone is cut out for this field. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you because it definitely has it's perks! Like sitting in my PJs as I type this, while my hubby sits in traffic. It took him 5 hours to get home the other night from an ice storm. I'd list more bonuses, but there are just way too many and I have to get back to work.
