is that the DQS account they are hiring for ?
40 hours a week at only 8 cpl
Yes, they are hiring because they just got a HUGE account.
Ops and cardiology right now but all kinds of work. I am loving every second of it! :)
The ML account is not "coming on" it is here and right NOT hiring PT sm
because there is way way too much work to be done. Glad you got on when you did at PT. I have had no fewer than 4 friends apply for PT in the last month only to be told no PT positions.
I am only assuming that is the account they are hiring for. (sm)
I know I saw a memo stating there was a large response of those of us wanting to work that account. Maybe they just filled the shifts we were willing to work and are hiring for other shifts. I really don't know. Just trying to be optimistic.
My company was practically next door to JLG. They
stopped our 401K, then stopped our direct deposit, then they lost all their big accounts and we all lost our jobs.
Saw ad for Transcend and they actually named the new account they were hiring for (sm)
Isn't that a little strange? I know we don't post account specifics and I have never seen a company do so before. They mentioned the hospital name, town and state.
I think they are paying per report on the account they are hiring for now, They
usually pay 1.20 to 1.30 per report plus they also have a productivity incentive where you can earn about an additional ten cenrs per report. Great people. I would definitely give them a try.
I know they have been hiring on that account awhile so there is probably work. But,
I did refer a friend and they put her on that program to which she did not stay long and was very unhappy with her line count. She said it was a third of what she normally made so she quit. Honestly, I have never worked on that platform so I am not sure if she had a valid complaint or not or what else she was comparing it to. I say if the work is there, which I would think if they are offering a bonus, I would try it out and see if it works for you. It sounds like with your experience you would know the difference in line counts.
They may be hiring for a large ESL account still. Great
company. They provide all equipment/software. Pay for downtime. QA pretty strict, just maintain minimum score of 98.5, 1200 lpd/12,000 per pay period. DD, on-time. Insurance starts the first day of the month after you start, very reasonable premiums.
Why would anyone what to work for practically nothing. I make 5 cpl editing, flexible schedule etc.
As long as they can get people to take those ridiculous wages that is what they will offer. Your an IC so you have no benefits, thus they do not have much of an overhead and you can bet they are getting a whole heck of a lot more cpl than they are offering their MTs.. but I guess that is the only reason they are in business... to make a huge profit. Unfortunately, at YOUR expense. What a sad day... 1.5 cpl.. 
I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services
and always have work. I have only run out a work a handful of times. It is a very busy account. It is a very good company to work for.
They sold off their equipment a month ago in order to stop chasing it down. It was practically giv
wave pedal $50. They were spending a full time person on sending and getting back equipment. I bought mine, and thought it was better than some that make you rent them or buying my own.
For Heaven's sake, they did NOT overhire. It was a holiday weekend when dictation practically st
Get a grip, people!
Skip
Skip the ones that you are having trouble on, but if you do this according to escription you have to log out in order for the ones that you skipped to be circulated back through again. However, I do not log off until I am finished for that day so that I won't keep getting the same bad doctors.
However, I am currently doing about 2400 - 3000 lines on escription and I love it. THe doctors I have are easy. Also I only listen to the dictations once at a normal pace.
Hope this helps. What is your line rate?
Why skip them??
Is there a reason you say to skip them? I've been with them a couple of months with no problem.
skip key?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I am not seeing a skip key anywhere. I also see no keys at the bottom of the page. Sorry for being so clueless. Thanks again.
You can skip it then if it makes you ill. :)
:)
Skip the posts
What is so hard about skipping the posts if you don't want to participate in the chatter - the headings are pretty obvious for T/MDI....Just a suggestion. Why get high BP over someone trying to vent or find out more info.
Did it ever occur to you to skip over those posts? Duh.
I do skip over them because sadly it is the same thing.
Wrong line count and no work. It is just hard because once it gets going it takes over the whole page and it is hard to find anything else someone has posted. I have nothing against TT or its MTs, it just seems like they have some legitimate concerns and they want to be heard. I figured we just must have a lot of TT employees on here and they should be able to discuss things in their own forum.
Yes, I correct absolutely everything I can...I can't skip
over crap and just leave it. The quality of VR work is always the same as when I am editing. I also could not send out crap work in good conscience. For me, editing is just faster, cleaning up a 100 things in a report, adding a period here, taking out the patient name, adding a the, taking out a comma and adding a comma one word over just is not nearly as time consuming for me as it is with typing. For editing, I have done an 18 minute report in 19 minutes, so that is 1 minute of editing and the rest is reading. I can't type an 18 minute report in 19 minutes, maybe 25.
Skip it! We are mad as hell, and it looks like some of us are going to take a stand and not take th
Don't like it, don't read it; it is as simple as that. We worked for this company for many years, and to have something happen like this, by someone who said she always looked out for her MTs is upsetting, to say the least. I have a house payment, kids college, etc. to pay, and refuse to take a job that will pay lower than what MDI paid. I refuse to be undercut again!
I skip up the negative posts - I just figure...
they are people unhappy with thereselves and apparently have no work. If they did, they would'nt be here wasting the space. Thanks for your input. I am sure we will find a good place for her. And I am sure somebody will not be able to help thereselves but to respond negatively to this. I just figure if you are unhappy, go somewhere where are you happy.
"Any time I see OSi in a field, I skip over it. "
LOL
Is this rudeness really necessary? Just skip the post if you don't like it JEEZ.
Nasty.
Yeah, your posts just ooze happiness. I'll just skip over yours from now on..nm
Bubbye!
Sure!!!!!!!!!! Jump right on in!!!!!!!!!!
After the wage and hour uproar they most likely won't ask you to work overtime and not record your hours
May I jump in here...
I have already applied to TT, finished the testing, etc. Does anyone know how I might follow up on my application? Has anyone here done so. I know a lot of people have applied here and they are probably swamped. It has been about a week since I finished my testing. Should I wait another week or try to pursue a followup?
Would jump on more pay
if it doesn't work out can always rely back on your MT skills. As long as work load isn't too much and too stressful, as QA can be much of the time.
may I jump in?
it is not just medical; this is everywhere, I think it is a direct result of shabby schooling. The kids are not getting the same basics we did. At my 30 year reunion, this was a big topic of conversation. Some things are better and more in depth, especially social studies and math and sciences, but good basic English has gone by the way side. and then, of course, there is the internet which I guess actually has more people using some writing skills that otherwise they would not have. and I don't care what anybody says, the boston tea party was not an accident! You really have to be aware of what your kids aer being taught now. Our parents would have been down to the school so fast. Now they are teaching some religion, just not Christian. Big dispute on Houston radio last week. well, enough of that for awhile. Just had to vent.
Where exactly are they all going to jump to?
This has been coming for a long time. I for one am going to try to go into with a good attitude at least and give it a shot. I left my last company (MQ) not only because of VR, but because on top of it they put everybody in huge work pools (otherwise known as the cesspool). It was an impossible situation. They will all be doing it before you know it. Nowhere to go but out of the profession altogether.
I am so tired of having to jump
accounts to get a laughable report count. With the company I work for I have to work on 4 different accounts to even get the minimal amount of work daily. I cannot stand it anymore. I have to be the most flexible person in the world but enough is enough. Are there any companies out there that allow you to work 1 Radiology account and actually get a decent report count by the end of your shift. I am lucky if I hit 80 reports a day and that is just not cutting it for this single mom.
I guess I just needed to say it outloud. TIA.
Just jump right in. They're okay. nm
:L
Why don't you just jump over to MDI side!
You think Transcend is bad, honey work a week with MDI and then let's compare jelly beans.
Sorry to jump in, but it really IS common
sense not to post account info or patient names. Yes, the rules of posting are plastered everywhere, and any Transcriptionist of 15 years should know NOT to post private client names anywhere. So, you are arguing and looking more silly.
Jump ship
Their pay plan is horrible to work with. The bonus is based on your QA score, if I'm not mistaken from the month previous and that goes through the whole next month. So if you have a bad month, it will haunt you for the next month!
its sad when ppl jump on a company
just because they can't or won't do their job right! As part of the management at Shapin, I really don't understand where anyone could honestly say we have poor management. We strive to help each and every MT and editor....So...if you're bitter...you must be a bitter person!
Jump on board!
Same with me -- no test, immediate offer, so I jumped and I'm glad I did!
Oh, I would jump at that chance if available!!
nm
jump ship now
you won't be sorry.
I would jump on it - MDI-MD is very selective
in whom they hire & would consider myself fortunate to be offered a job with them. Their entire staff from recruiter,liaison,& technical support convey that they are the best!
I've been with MDI-MD for 3 yrs & couldn't be happier! Workflow on my account is 98.9% & is predominately steady; however,there are seasonal periods when work is low or nonexistent. I do have a secondary account, but if that account is low also, I've made sure I've ensured myself a safety net by working extra when the accounts have been bombarded with dictation. There again, I could ask for another account to fill any deficit if I felt it was necessary to do so.
Simply speaking,it boils down as to whether you are truly a SE & are willing to work hours other than 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I have adjusted my body clock & work late afternoon & evenings with plenty of work left over from those signing off at 5 p.m.
Everyone with this company is just fantastic to work with. I can e-mail the manager personally, my liaison or tech support,& know I will receive a reply via e-mail,if not a phone call,within a short period of time, if not minutes, of doing so.
If you have any other questions,please feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to answer them or guide you to the appropriate person at MDI more qualified to answer such.
I am not so sure I'd jump on the KS bandwagon...
I applied and they said they only wanted full-time and would I consider that? So they talk out of both sides of their mouths. I have 15 years of experience with Meditech and I would have agreed to a set schedule including a weekend day for employee status and worked on Meditech since I know it, and the recruiter told me no part-time and I sent my resume through their site and she responded right away. So, if this is a sign of how they operate, I am not so sure I'd want to work there at this point. That is not fair at all. I have a lot of experience and for them to just shrug me off yet turn around and hire a part-time person, that's just wrong! 
I think others can jump to another company
but what I see coming in your companies is probably VR right behind them. What I would suggest if people are so against even trying is that, if they are younger, to train for another profession. Nursing would be an excellent choice, nurses always needed, any type of medical field because even in hard times people still have need of people in this field. Ultrasound, MRI techs, anything if so hard to grasp the idea of technology coming down the pike. I personally think by changing jobs will not take care of the problem but changing professions might.
I saw the typo, so don't jump all over me, lol. NM
.
Oh yes. I believe I'd jump at the chance.
I really have to say that. Although I have dedicated my life to this job, that fact is easily lost with the smallest infraction by people who scream at me in CAPS. I want to enjoy doing the work I do with such care.
MQ IC's jump on the system and "hog" up
It is like that at any company I have been with, whether we were all IC's or all employees. How some people can wait until the last minute like that EVERY pay period is beyond me.
Before you jump into transcription you should know that we have all been told that
all transcription work is going to VR Editor with very, very little transcription and that we are all going to take a cut in money! Most people at Medware are great and most of them are not the ones making the decisions that will impact us. Going to transcription is certainly not a longterm save for your paycheck!
Don't think I want to jump into the MQ frying pan with all that's been happening lately. nm
s
Oh, so your not seriously looking for another job, just trying to jump start them into paying more..
Not sure that works because there are still way too many transcription companies using Escription that pay less so they probably don't feel to motivated to increase their pay. Although I do know a lot of MTs that have turned them down because of the low pay. Personally, I applied but I couldn't take the pay cut.
I have to jump right in this cesspole & answer
This is what I know and/or what I was told by 2 ex-managers there.
1. You are expected to be on call 24 hours a day.
2. You are raked over the coals if accounts go out of TAT (if your MTs decide not to work for whatever reason on the same day).
3. You make a LOT more money as an MT.
4. You do not have to relocate but you will have to go to Douglasville for a week to get the inside scoop.
5. If you've been a thorn in their side, they won't hire you, so don't even bother - SERIOUSLY. See #6.
6. They hire only patsies and brown-nosers for managers.
7. There are MUCH BETTER companies out there. I feel like a frickin bird out of prison and have never looked back.
Don't jump the boat too quick...sm
Good morning! I feel your frustration. I have been in a situation like that and actually did have to leave the company. Being that it was just a holiday weekend, I would suggest just hanging in there a little longer. The company I work for takes about a good two or three weeks to get back to normal after a holiday, especially if not many MTs took PTO. Maybe give it a couple more weeks and see if it improves. Ask for a backup account to learn while you're out so you at least have that for next time. I know it's hard to be patient, but it might pan out. :)
Blessings! :)
