I don't know what is going on there, but I haven't had any problem at all.  I was told at the beginning I needed to do 5 days of 5 reports and if I had 98%, I was good to go.  Tomorrow would be my scheduled day off anyway and I start my regular shift on Sunday. At least that is what I have been told. 

They apparently have hired a lot of new people, so I'd just keep calling.

there have been issues with my account and others that have come on-line since where it takes a little time to work out kinks.  I know when you have bills to pay you need to be working, but there are several accounts on OT now and my account has been on OT more days than not. 

I haven't yet had to have a secondary account.   They have many accounts so I can't speak about overall work flow.  My manager has 5 accounts and usually lots of work on all of them, in fact they are short staffed and currently hiring. 

that was supposed to be huge coming on board in July?  How do you like it and FutureNet as a whole?  Would appreciate if any recent hires could tell me how long it took to hear back after applying.  Openings are probably all filled by now but just wondering if it took a while to hear back and if they require testing.  TIA!

and I have to stop myself from making corrections and have to really concentrate on typing exactly what they are saying.  It's HARD!  But hey, they are indirectly signing my paycheck, so I gotta do what they tell me to, ya know?

I would not call it my favorite platform by any means -- I think it is rather slow and cumbersome -- but with the addition of ShortHand and getting used to how things are done, I am picking up speed and hope to be at my normal level soon.   One of the pluses to Meditech is that you can access the patient's chart and see other reports dictated, plus lab reports, x-rays, etc. 

I was disillusioned as you.  I am an acute care MT with 20+ years of experience and it just was not for me.   Although, I have to tell you that the production management team were awesome to work with up front; however, I didn't like the behind the scenes action like changing my worktypes without telling me, as well as consistently running out of acute care work.  

For example, if you  work primarily on er reports and the discharge summaries are behind, they will just take the er dictations out of your queue and you will discharge summaries for a week straight, and they don't even bother to tell you, hey the ds are backed up and we put some in your queue.   There is nothing wrong with keeping the account in TAT, but give us, the MTs, the respect of telling us. 

Also, the ES accounts are a total rip-off.  Taking 20 and 30% off the line count is a totally stealing from us MTs.  Personally, I had a huge problem with it once I saw that it amounted to $500 out of one paycheck.   That really sucked bigtime!

Let me ask you - if you are an acute care MT and was given boring clinic work or doctor letters to do all day every day, would you be happy when you were hired for "basic 4 acute care work".

These are just a few major reasons why I am gone.

Good luck to those who have stayed and I hope you are happy.  To each his/her own!

Would be interested in hearing what their expectations, platform, etc. are if you would be willing to share.  My biggest question, obviously, is pay as I do not want to take a cut in this..but that is something I will find out Monday.  Just curious about general info on the company.   When did you interview?  The recruiter said my e-mails were bouncing back to him undeliverable so maybe it is on their end??

I'm not on the schedule with any of them on Sunday, Monday I only work for one of them. I took the third job because it's a specialty I like and want to do more of. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in  - certainly don't want to work this much indefinitely.

I'm not really thrilled about having to work a weekend day, but I need to supplement my FT job.
