Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

I got hired right off the spot
They e-mailed me my paperwork and I got started right away.
NM up there. She needs a new spot as her current job

Yours was one of the most eloquent, spot-on, and
to-the-point posts I've ever read on MT Stars. Every sentence, every typed character --- DEAD-ON ACCURATE!
I think every MT supervisor, hospital CEO, current MT, new MT, wannabe MT, nurse, doctor, patient, and elected official should read these words and take them to heart.
I think your talent with the written word is wasted in this profession.
I only meant that we do not run out. I am taking someone's spot while sm
they are on vacation. I know that someone will take care of mine when I leave in 3 weeks for vacation. It is called teamwork. We are not overstaffed on our accounts; it is a good workflow.
I also know that they are not hiring right now as we are fully staffed, and I know this was posted here a few weeks ago. There are a few new accounts coming and I am sure that they will hire then but not overstaff.
I was on that end before and NO THANK YOU. I hated scheduling and coverage issues and waiting for clients to pay. I just transcribe and get paid well to do a good job.
I quit "Johnny-on-the-spot" nm

Would think they would be doing some kind of spot testing or

I have LOTs of experience. They have excellent benies and they contribute to your health plan making it EXTREMELY affordable with plans to choose from. They have PTO that is generously figured, incentive plans that are sometimes pop your eyes our good.
I used to get 10 or better. You know what? That 1 to 1.5 cents won't buy me health insurance, won't help that much on my taxes and certainly won't give me 11 PTO days a year...and I'd have to work EVERY holiday, not just 4 a year.
Your post is spot on. I agree with everything you say.

Spot on! You've got it right! I am so sick
of these MTSOs taking advantage of ALL of us, newbies and oldies alike. It makes me sick, yes, sick, to read the posts from all the innocent new hires, who are so excited about their new job, and on here all happy with a few questions. My heart sinks when I see the company they signed onto, and then my BP starts to rise when I read how they love the recruiter, she was so nice, blah, blah. Boy, been there, done that, and these MTSOs and their lying recruiters are still playing the same game they were 5 years ago. I nearly went bankrupt believing the lies, and why not? Why would MTSOs lie to us? Why would recruiters lie to us? I'm not saying all do, but definitely the ones discussed regularly on this board are what one might otherwise term pathological liars. They have NO shame. Promise the MT the moon, get them to say YES and commit, and then just wait til that first week or two. That recruiter will vanish off the face of the earth. They're done with you, got their commission or salary, added another notch on their belt and have moved on to the next victim. Yet MTs read the experiences of all the rest with no work, no work, overhiring, and still fall for this. Its beyond a shame. I think it must somehow be illegal. I'll never forget a great recruiter at Transcend. I thought she was a saint. She thought I was so wonderful and special, she put me on their best account... I kid you not, exact words, and I think paid me something like 8.5 cpl. Which she also told me was their MAX cpl, and only done for me as I was so special... Well, unbeknownst to me, or her, a coworker who I shared my wonderful Transcend experience with, applied a day or 2 later. The same saint recruiter told my friend (again, not knowing this), that she would put her on a different account. When my friend asked if they had any accounts in the state I had told her - as I didn't give the account name, the recruiter laughed and told her it was their WORST account, full of garbage and ESLs, and only chumps got put on it. She was too special for it, and also got at least another cpl offer more than I did. And I had tested better and had years more experience, but my friend was more assertive. Well, she called me and compared notes. She never started, as she was so insulted at the BS, and I tried, but hated it. I just didn't have the heart, knowing I was deceived. That's just an example of the game, and its still going on. When you see the same company names hiring all the time, there IS a reason, and don't fall for the excuse that its because they are getting new accounts. Oldest story out there - right up with the check is in the mail. Cover this stuff up front with those recruiters, get a guarantee in writing of a work load and hit the ball out of the park when asking for your line rate. You can bet that whatever they offer is bottom barrel offers, so go for it! You have nothing to lose, believe me.
FYI, her work was just spot checked by us - sm
from time to time, as we are to send in client-ready work, no true QA. Hence a lot went through to the client that was less than stellar unfortunately. Their request to remove her was not a reflection of a bad QA department.
I'm so flustered, I got my name in the wrong spot LOL nm

No sore spot at all. I simply do my job,
get my lines and hours in without much trouble and don't fret about who's getting the gravy work. I get along with my lead and supervisors well. I can do any report that comes my way, even the ESLs that others continuously skip over or suddenly lose their connection when they see the name or number. Simply do the job I was hired for, collect a nice paycheck and when my day is done I don't think about it again until the next day.

Yes, you are someone, You are one of their token US employees. Hey, what is that brown spot
;
Call TransTech, they may hire you on the spot

The other thing is that I know India is a sore spot.
that really can get ahead with Focus. I also feel that not all nationals (hence their name) and MTSOs are really going to reveal they offshore. I feel that if a company offshores and is honest about it that it says a lot for that company. Honesty is a good policy.
I also feel that since Focus is a large company, you may not run out of work and you may advance in the company as I said. You could always give it a fair shake and if it doesn't work out, then move on. You can only live and learn, and you never fail until you stop trying. This is just my thoughts on your situation. I definitely would not worry because all money is green and it spends.
Axolotl a bright spot in a dim MT universe
Seems like the company is hiring. Though they are really picky it seems like they are what we are looking for, because their insurance rates are as low as some other companies used to be and as low as hospitals are and start in 30 days, they have a sign on bonus, a referral bonus, great high line rate and provide equipment with deposit. Company started by doctors and do not off shore. I am pretty happy about the prospect, however, they only take really really experienced MTs. Anybody have experience with this firm and could provide further information would be well appreciated. They just got a new account, I do not think they normally hire many because very low turn over. Any comments at all pro or con would be very very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
pretty sure this post is in the wrong spot.

OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot
I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay. The reason??? With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type. I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there. This is just sooooooooooo wrong. I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need some help ASAP. Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly? I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate. This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Follow up on Bright Spot in Dim Universe Axolotl
This is to the MT who was so excited about Axolotl a while back, and anyone new there. Thinking of applying, because it seemed perfect, but then staying with company until people have been there a while. It has been a few weeks. To the happy Transcriptionist and those who went with her to Ax, wondering how it is going. I don't want the stress of leaving my current job, so comments would be appreciated. If that place is too good to be true, I'd like to know and just stay where I am. TIA.
Big changes happening very fast at Medware! Anyone know what gives? Making me a spot of nervous.

Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's in Kentucky has an In-House, days MT spot

And furthermore, you can see this hits a sore spot, this giving people backup accounts and then
you run out of them is also ridiculous. There you sit making less and less money and trying to learn multiple dictators and then guess what, that dries up. Once you know that is what a company is doing, then you go to your alternate plans and never look back. Sooner or later when MTs either decide no more or they get multiple jobs and they have to keep hiring and hiring which impacts their quality I am sure it will settle down. At least, I would hope so although it doesnt seem to be right now. Could be because of sending work offshore not sure. All multiple backup accounts do is make it harder to make money and you have more problems with QA and your own quality because you just keep popping in and out of all these accounts that you really dont get to know that well. Knowing an account well is the best way to go for quality and line count for sure, NOT multiple accounts. All that does is help the MTSO keep the work caught up to the exact MINUTE.
I've had spot spelling tests over the phone for svl places in my years. Not fun when you rely on

It's just not easy to do for most of us. nm

Does anyone else think it is just as easy to go to a different
company as it is to learn new account at the same time you are learning a new platform that has a lot of problems?
easy to put an end to it all
Doesn't matter if QT says they are not closing or not selling, it is all in what the account decides what will force the hand. You have one big account, lose one big account, you do the math.
It's VERY easy
All that you do is hit F6 and it brings up all of the old report. As far as I can tell, they go back about a year.
easy as pie
Super easy and I find it super fast. Check out www.escription.com
I cannot tell you how easy it is to get someone's SS#
and have a grand time with it! Try explaining it to the hospitals that want to outsource to certain national companies that don't do a background check on employees or that the threat to take SS# just by when doctors dictate them is easy - can you imagine how easy it is for the offshore companies to do it. If I can do it in the states working for a national company, imagine what the offshore companies can do!
EASY
I was wondering the same thing. The ad said It is easier to edit than type, and they pay hourly. I don't like their choice of words though. Neither is EASY. It all takes skill. I, too, am curious--Who is TMMG?
Its not easy being a
You're right the girl probably didn't have a clue of how poorly she was doing and thats not playing fair. However, training is not easy. Companies don't want to lose people, especially if they're not paying them much, soooo you're stuck being positive positive positive even when the work is horrible, and people tend to get offended at the least little bit of feedback. Its a bit of a squishy position and at times the person training has to go to great lengths to justify their own position. Not easy I assure you. I for one was told I was sending too much feedback, apparently learning how to do things right was not at the top of these MTs list. You cannot completely blame the trainer, but management who lets the MT call the shots.
Easy. NM

Not the OP, ...is it easy to set up?
Do you have to buy anything other than the router? I have comcast cable and already have a router...just don't know what to do with it.
Easy.
You need to go in and put in the BKSP command where the number goes and back the hyphen right up to the command you then you eliminate the 105 painful times you need to enter!! A snap!

It's not as easy to do that now as it used to be sm
If you're SE or IC, you can do that, but with most companies going to employee, MT can only work 40 hours and if one can't count on working extra, which goes into overtime and not always offered, it makes having just one job not feasible if MT wants to make X amount of dollars in as much time as it takes her/him.
I wish I could just do one job with OT when offered, but I really need the security of having the PT to get what I need to make ends meet.
I'm sorry. I must have it easy there, which SM
is reason I, unfortunately, can't leave.
I really feel badly for you. Sadly, that's why company has the reputatation it does. They are more concerned about happiness of offshore MTs.
Easy. Take a job anywhere. It will be prn because
there will be no work. They will want you to type prn but demand you live up to a line count and schedule they will not promise work to fill, thus it ends up prn for you, and great for them. Sorry, just the facts. Imagine a company that was honest and actually hired for prn. There's never be anything comparing what it is like for full time or part time these days. JIMHO
Very easy---
go into program files, find ShortHand file, click on that, that is where all the things are. Go to the SPF files, find which one you have your abbreviations in, you had to have named it something (you can check the opened shorthand and look at the tab on the bottom that shows what you use for your abbeviations), copy that file (I use a fast whatchamacall it that you plug in) or you can copy in a separate file until you can copy it to a removeable file, just paste it somewhere, then when you want to copy it to another computer with the Shorthand program on it, just paste it in the shorthand file (like where you copied it from on the other computer). When you open up the Shorthand file, you will have to click on the new shorthand files and add it so it will put a tab at the bottom.
So easy to say that when not you
The poster said she made good money and needed the job. It is the lady's job and she calls the shots. Sure the person can quit and cut off her nose to spite her face. That is just business.
Thats easy for you to say
Thats easy for you to say when you are getting offered 8 and 9 cpl. I am just testing and testing and testing and testing and not even getting offered anything. I need work and if I am offered 7 cpl typing for 1 or 2 dictators I will take it because you can still make money at that. I don't mind working 2 jobs because that way you always have something to type.
It is easy once you are used to it. I love it! xx

Test Was Easy
BUT if you don't have years of experience you won't be hired by them.
Easy tests
Nope, you can't go by that. In fact, you can't go by anything but your own experience. Make your wisest decision. Use your gut instincts. That's all any of us can do.
It might help others to answer if you named the companies, but I understand why you can't.
Good luck. :)
