MTS of Kansas...sm
Does anyone know anything about this company? Thanks!
better off at Wal-mart
You would be better off supplementing your income working at Wal-Mart rather than working at this Indian-run loony bin.
Is the KS for Keystrokes or Kansas and have you
had a problem with Keystrokes? I am looking for radiology only and was told that was the place to look. Any help appreciated. TIA.
Kansas City
Anyone from Kansas City?
Kansas City
Moved back to KC about 6 months ago, lived here about 15 years ago and now back, what part are you in?
Kansas City
Yeah, the Missouri and Kansas boards haven't been touched for a year maybe! There doesn't seem to be many successful transcription companies in Kansas City.
Medicordia in Kansas??
Does anyone know anything about this company...like if they're reliable in work and pay? Thanks!
Mediscripts in Kansas
Is anyone here familar with this small MTSO in Johnson County, KS, outside KCMO?
KC as in Kansas City? nm

And, you can also add Wal-Mart to your list
I think stores such as Wal-Mart, and there certainly are others, no doubt, that buy up the majority of their products from these other countries are putting our Americans out of work. I just shudder to think how different life is in this century compared to before we went to being such a huge importer of goods that we COULD be producing here in the US.
If you put in an application at Wal-Mart does it not ask for your SS#? sm
If you did not feel comfortable giving that info until hired, all you simply had to do was leave it blank. I am sure they would not have tossed your application due to that.
Has anyone ever worked for Accutype out of Kansas? nm
TIA
Anyone work for MTS of Kansas LLC - e-mail me nm

make more money at Wal-Mart
and they give you a piece of the company
lol
I recently saw a show on TV about Wal-Mart, sm
It was one of those news shows, maybe 20/20. Whatever. It talked about Rubbermaid going down the tubes because of W-M's demands on it, how generations of families worked at one particular factory which essentially supported the town. That was closed, equipment was auctioned off. I'll never forget the expressions on the faces of the men who were watching this happening. It was tragic.
Sorry, this is badly worded, but I need to get back to work.
Get a Linksys router at Wal-Mart $40-60

Wal-Mart Sounds Good
Wal-Mart is starting to look better and better to me. I have been an excellent Transcriptionist for over 25 years and had planned to retire as same. The past couple of years has caused me to re-think the rest of my life. I have gone from an average of $23.00 per hour to $16.00 per hour and it makes me nauseous. The suits are getting the money that I am having to work even harder to get (for them).
So, I'm thinking about going to Wal-Mart. My mother will retire from them soon and she, believe it or not, has had a lot less stress than I have had in the past few years. I think she makes about $14.00 per hour at this point. I'm sure that starting out, you probably do not make that much, but I think that if I have to work for less money, I would rather it be for someone who didn't TAKE MY MONEY. Anybody agree????
So we threaten to go to Wal-Mart to work?

If things keep going, you may do so unknowingly!
They are taking the first steps...
What is wrong with working at Wal-Mart.
My mother has worked at Wal-Mart for almost 10 years. Why does everyone act like working at Wal-Mart is for losers? Only desperate people who have no other choice work there?
Nope, not Wal-Mart employees sm
(even though, what's wrong with that) just busy mothers who have better and more important things to do than proofread on a forum, we save that for our jobs. Now back to doing the most important job...being a mother...now babs get back to your griping. Sorry you don't have a family. Hope you have a nice Easter :)
Yes I work at TT, Wal-Mart & a vet's office
Three jobs. Wasn't too hard to get. I like TT and hope that work will pick up with the new accounts but in the meantime yes I have to feed my kids and me.
Wearing clothes from Wal-Mart...
How is that equal to creating medical records with gross errors? My problem is not entirely with offshoring, but rather what is being offshored. Like many others, I do not shop at Wal-Mart, and I have my own sewing machine. If people want to buy things that are made overseas, that's their choice, but my concern is regarding the quality of our medical documentation here in the US. Also, there is no excuse for supposedly not being able to find an adequate amount of MT staff here in the US. The problem is that these companies do not want to pay enough to that staff. If the hospitals cut out the MTSOs and brought MT back in-house, there would be enough money to go around for everyone.
Anyone know what type of software Accutype of Kansas uses?? TIA! nm

Anyone have experience with Secretarial Solutions in Kansas? Thanks! NM

Anyone here for for University of Kansas Medical Center? Please let me know. Thanks.
I work at home for a national now and I'm wondering if KU outsources or does in-house and about their benefits. Not a newbie, have 11 years experience in acute care. Rock chalk!
I should say SHOPS at Wal-Mart --- Even Starbucks gets their coffee elsewhere!

Which speaks to/with the wal-mart spoof posted
in the comedy section (link below). It's the direction of the economy. Capitalism at its best and worst; inevitability.

A quick word of explanation about Wal-Mart
My friend worked in the division that made, organized jewelry, etc. She was not a clerk. She worked behind the scenes. I guess the suits thought that behind the scenes in Mexico was cheaper for them than to pay American workers. Anyway, my friend, a 21-years-old single mother, is now without work.
I need to change the name I use. I work for Keystrokes but live in Kansas. I am truly KS MT but ot
nm
Know nothing about SOM hospitals, this is a small hospital outside Kansas City. nm

Any current info on Webscribe in Kansas City? sm
The few comments I found were from 2006 and were not positive. Anyone have any current opinions? Thanks!
I have worked for Cardioscribes since July. I live in Kansas.
The owner actually lives in Kentucky. I guess if you don't want any Indian connections, you can just decide not to respond to the job post. As far as deception goes, I don't see any. I am very happy with the company.
Thank you!! And if anyone on this website gripes about "offshoring" and works at Wal-Mart, you
just as much to blame as anyone hiring offshore companies. You shop there to get cheaper prices? 95% of that is made in China!
Quik-Mart doesn't require testing ...
Many MTs that I know put quite a bit of time into researching companies. Believe it or not, there are a few out there that are unscrupulous. Then, when they decide to submit their resume, they become one of the stack received and left on a recruiter's desk, only to be sent a generic thank you for applying, please test letter. Then, they're on to the testing process. Sometimes it's a screening during which you give out a lot of personal information, then a written test, then transcription, sometimes followed by a phone interview (and this is probably the only time you are looked at as a person and not just data)- you get the idea. This eats up a lot of time and energy. I don't have any first-hand knowledge about Quick-Mart, Starbuck's or the Department of Energy, but I think things work a little differently in those settings. I hope this helps you understand why it would be important to get a response for the effort. If not, well, I tried.
I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n
Anyone heard of a company called Webscribe. Think they are in the Kansas City, Mo area. (nm)
.
I do understand your position. We live in a Wal-Mart world. Some days I wonder why I bother
putting out good work. It would be certainly help my bottom line if I cared more for my production than my reports. *Sigh*
Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm

Its holiday time. I just took a part time job at K-Mart and
it is really quite fun because I get to interact with humans and do not have to stare at a computer. My part time benefits included an employee discount on merchandise from day 1 of employment, can put that on lay-away, and if the item goes on sale before you pick it up, you get it at the sale price as well as with the discount. This is a Super K-Mart, and with kids this will really help with paying for their presents. It sure beats running out of work every day and wondering if I am going to have any money for gifts.
