    TROLL ALERT
    NM
    No I am not a troll, but I did find a job. Good for me
    I found a job as a medical secretary and that is good enough for me right now. It is not the best situation, but I will get some SUM tapes and practice. Thanks for the advise.
    Good plan. You know they troll these boards, so

    Everytime you say something good about a company, they call you a troll - (sm)

    JLG alert

    The mysteriously secret and elusive JLG has a purple banner running on top of one of the boards - stating now hiring.  Don't everybody grab their feather quills all at once, now.


     


    BAD COMPANY ALERT!!!!
    Trust me on this one, stay away from D&L Typing Service, Inc.  The worst company I have encountered in my 20+ year working life.  DO NOT accept a job with them.  Treatment of transcriptionists is very very poor.  Pay is terrible.  Checks sent through mail, wrong amounts and late.  Never know when or how much going to be paid, and then impossible to get accounting to return phone calls.  Horrible company. 
    MTSO ALERT - WHAT MT WOULD SAY "I'M A SLACKER?"

    nm


    I got a virus alert when I went to their site

    What in the world could it be other than free work?  Try backlog catchup for free!  Horrible... 


    Lawyer alert! Fishing for info!
    Looking for biziness??
    Yes, I clearly remember 'Jasper' posting the first alert
    And being accused of being dishonest.

    Thanks for trying to give a heads-up early on, Jasper...Being forewarned certainly helps.
    We've been at high alert OT all this week at Webmedx. nm

    Got a news alert today that Spheris bought Vianeta company. nm

    To be a good RN-you have to love the work. sm
    I spent 13 years in the hospital in varying departments, 10 of them as a nurse aide. You can tell which nurses go into it for the money. They don't like to work afternoons, weekends or holidays. They get upset when they get blood or human waste on their uniforms. They can be very rude with the patients. I worked with lots of nurses and my point is, it takes a special nurse to work with sick people 5 days a week and many times over 8 a day. It's not for everybody. If you want to get a feel for nursing, become a CNA first. You can deal with very sick, very contagious patients. You can deal with very nice and also very cantakerous doctors. It's physically demanding, hard on the back, etc. The world needs more kind, caring, patient nurses, not nurses who just love the money earned and yes, it is good. If you love people, take pride in your work and truly don't mind all else that goes along with it-good and bad-then go for RN. But don't just do it for the money. I wanted to be an RN because I loved being a CNA but couldn't continue due to health reasons. I love being an MT because I still am exposed to the medical field, only now I am in the background instead of the front of the field.
    Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
    and only employee positions...
    I work there and love it. Good pay and always on time.
    I don't take the health insurance, so can't speak about that. The people are very friendly and helpful.
    GOOD MOVE!!! You'll love it!!
    Keep in touch when you get on board!!

    I love QA, but I'd only do it for a good hourly wage that
    nm
    I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM

    I do believe it has to do with the accounts though.  I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing.  VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill.  Learn the shortcuts and use them.  It is also only as good as the team training the VR. 


    On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC.  A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account. 


    I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR. 


    I love the K. Long reports, good lines.
    nm
    I make good money with them and love working there. sm
    Here is why: I have one account with a backup account that I have only used twice and both times because they needed help not because my primary was slow. I do 1600+ lines in 8 hours. I started at 8 cpl and was raised to 9 cpl at 90 days. I have as much work as I want and while my PTO days are less than the last place I was for 8 years, I make more during the year. I literally made $17K more with KS last year than I did with MQ the year before. I am higher this year.

    I love Chartscript. The account I am on is wonderful and yes, I use ShortHand with it.

    Good to me? I made $61K last year with them and so far this year, I am at $56K, so I will pass that for sure.

    No to paid holidays but if you work them, it is time and a half.

    If my account needs extra help, they offer time and a half for weekends.

    I would rather work for less per line and be able to do more lines than make more per line but struggle to get 1000 lines in a day.

    There are nay-sayers for KS. They are strict on quality and expect everyone to work their schedule. Not all accounts are great, but that's anywhere. The only people I know who left were either let go for either quality or not working their shift or they quit because their lead was about to fire them.
    Good luck to you in your new posiiton -- I'm sure you'll love MDI. :-) nm

    I totally disagree, love VR and can make good money at it
    I have been doing now for about 4-5 years and hate it when I have anything straight to type. I have done this for over 30 years, have excellent speed at straight but Escription is a bowl of cherries where I work. I would never want to completely straight type again, never.
    That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
    The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home.  Still, business is business.  I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it.  I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then. 
    I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm

    good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.


     


    Hope this helps.


    GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
    I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account.  It has it all.  But they use MedRite.  This is awful!  Was this actually designed for an MT?  This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep.  Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief!  Is there anyone who has used this?  Are there any tips you could give me? 
    Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

    Obviously a troll!
    First, if you were fired from Spheris, you just aren't too good!  From your post, I can understand why you were fired.  Learn to spell!  I wouldn't go around telling everyone how you were fired either!  Most people aren't proud of that fact.  Your post makes NO sense.  You are jealous because an Andrews graduate received better training and therefore can get a better job.  DUH.  Try another line of work!
    I'm not a TROLL
    My post sounded very rude and I apologize.  Maybe I'm having a bad day or PMSing...who knows? 
    Do you look like a troll??
    Dont insult the trolls.
    Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
    I finally found a home.
    oh lawdy - one troll after another, eh? NM *lol*

    This person is a troll. (SM)
    Probably a very disgruntled ex-employee. Probably have been banned at some point from this forum for unacceptable posting.

    Do not pay any attention to their posts. I am leaving them here so the Administrator can see them first.

    Trust me, even with their anonymizers, their ISPs can still be traced and they can be reported to anonymizers for abuse as well.
    Ignore the troll.
    p;
    You are obviously a troll with a vendetta.
    Too bad you don't have something better to do than come on here and cause problems.

    please do not call her a troll - there is no need for that. the QA
    part is the truth. There is a severe lack of QA at Diskriter. I just type my lines with or without blanks and just send them through because I was tired of the nasty emails I was getting from my supervisor about my blanks. That's all I will say because I do not know who reads this board
    Can you say "management troll"???
    z
    Have you ever heard of a TROLL?

    Yes, only a troll masquerading as an MT
    would defend cherry-pickers and just say ignore them while looking the other day. REAL MTs would get mad and do something about cherry-pickers, not accuse MTs who disagree wtih it as being kids fighting over candy
    you know I think you are the real troll sm
    on here. I posted that I DO NOT own an MTSO but now I am a know-it-all and say things over and over. What the heck does that have to do with a post addressing the accusation that I am an MTSO owner. I work for a MTSO just like the rest of you. I happen to like my job, do well etc. etc.

    You are nothing but a whiner and complainer that doesn't need to be in this business at all.

    I hope one of these days this business DOES go back to where it was where you ahve to work your butt off to get experience with ESLs and everything else. The job is weekends, holidays, whenever the work is there is you want to work from home for an MTSO! If not go into a hospital and work int he MR department.. You will still have to work weekends and holidays.

    Shut up or get out!
    An obvious troll
    put this clown who laughs at other's misery on *ignore.* Let LMAO entertain/babysit him/herself.
    why don't you grow up and get a life you troll
    nm
    whoa - that just may be a troll post.....sm

    as I know it, the MT work coming out of India is sent to 3 doctors in India who sit in a room and proofread ALL India-MT work........saw a program on cable TV.....and this work is proofed before it comes back to the US.....


    I don't think this is a true manager, just a troll.

    Look on an urban dictionary. Its right by troll,
    Do UTA?
    I call TROLL on the defensive
    so-called MT who defends cherry-picking.
    Agree - Some troll trying to stir the pot
    Must be having a very boring Easter and trying to seek stimulation on the board. *EYE ROLL*
    That person was a troll. Just trying to stir things up. 12 cpl or

    Yeah you troll. Get back under the bridge.

    It's called a troll. Statements without backup. sm
    There is a lot of work out there with Keystrokes and others. MQ is losing accounts, and the other MTSOs are getting them. I am sure that they want to see quality and limit volume the first few days. I would if it were my company.
    well, haven't heard the word troll since...
