needs a really flexible schedule or likes to jump on and off, TransHealth is probably not the company for them.  I am not saying that they are mean but I think that if someone has a lot going on in their life on a personal level there isn't going to be a lot of accommodation for that.

Like I said before, I have never QA'd below a 99.2 and this 98.9 score is absolutely killing me to begin with.  Then to be put on full QA for the first time in my life after being taken off (never even had this as a newbie).  I seriously cried. 

I get that some of the mistakes that I made were stupid, but like you said, I am still maintaining their quality standard stated in my contract, so I don't understand.  My errors were .25 and .50 point errors.  So nothing terribly significant.  I am not making excuses for myself and maybe I deserved to be threatened, but maybe their standards should be stated differently. 

It wasn't a harsh e-mail.  It is just the point.  Getting your job threatened really scares the crap out of you.  Especially when you are still doing okay by the standards of a lot of companies. 

This would definitely be a tech question but SpeedType is a great program.  You can also use the AutoCorrect feature of Word.  I actually use both.  I use the AutoCorrect for my short entries and then my operative reports and longer stuff, I use SpeedType.  It all depends on the MTs preference though.

 I am leaning toward Webmedx.  They offer fantastic benefits.  It's true, the starting pay for ERs is not great, but with the incentive plan and evening/weekend differential - yeah, not bad.  They offer a 12-hour window for getting work done (on some accounts). 

 Now, the question is, are the ESLs okay, bad, simply terrible, or just flat out unbelievable?!!!! 
 

I'm trying not to beat myself up too much about the test/score.  I guess what they meant by timed test is that you have 24 hours to reply to the email and/or take the test and send it back to the company.  But even still, I took as much time as I needed and used all of my reference materials to make double sure my answers were right.  There was only one question that I could not find an answer to and therefore I guessed at the answer but even still that shouldn't have given me the score of 88.  But, needless to say, that is water under the bridge and I'm moving down the river to stop at the next sand bar. 

As a matter of fact I have another email in my box from another company wanting to talk to me but need to do a little research on them first.  Zylomed - any info?

I try not to rely solely on Radiology, however, it is my absolute favorite.  I absolutely, postively cannot stand to do OP notes so I try to stay away from hospital accounts. 

Again thank you all for your replies and support, it really helps when you are beating yourself up to have someone else to try to pat you on the back and give a boost of self esteem. 

I too really like my Vista and I do hope they upgrade to Vista.  I am just about to learn ExText so I don't know much about it.  I have been working in ChartScript and love it.  I am hoping this platform is as easy.  I use my laptop to work when I am away from home and it is frustrating when these companies don't take the time to update platforms to Vista.  You have to special order computers with XP on them now.  Thanks again.

think that we can earn a living at 6-7/cpl?!!!   What are they thinking?  Could they earn a living making that low a rate?   They place their ads on various boards and then in capital letters state that they DO NOT HIRE OFFSHORE, but they are paying as if they do!!      For that kind of money,  I hope that they get what they pay for!!

Okay, thanks.  Had to get that off my chest. Off the soapbox now.
