Tomorrow being Thursday
I'd ask if you could give them an answer on Monday, unless they seem desperate to get you started right away and make an immediate offer.
Personally, I'd make sure I called WMX before the other interview so I'd have a better idea of how to proceed. If WMX isn't going to make an offer, you'll know going into the other interview and can feel free to accept whatever they may offer.
Let us know what happens :-)
I tested last Thursday and got an email
right after submitting my test in regards to an oral test, which I did on Friday. The QA person I spoke to on Friday told me I tested extremely well and that I would get an offer by Monday. However, I was contacted yesterday by email saying that my 20+ years experience did not qualify me for their current openings.
Try calling them though. Who knows you still may have a shot. Good luck.
yes very very busy will answer thursday NM
nm
mine was cut as of last thursday but it started
this PP
my check was there on Friday, it usually is on Thursday which is early
c
It took over 2 weeks for me to get my response..but I did e-mail here again last Thursday and
finally got a response. As far as I know, they are not done yet with everyone's schedules so please try again. If not Lee, call or e-mail Martha or Becky or call your lead Transcriptionist and tell them. I know they are busy with the new insurance changes and Aflac coming on board but I would definitely try someone else in the office. Good Luck!
Oh my no! LOTS of work. Didn't have first 15 minutes of Thursday, but swamped outside of that. nm

A special is defined as a special in Radnet - i.e. anything sm
from a PICC line placement to c-arm to interventional.
Hooray!
Congrats to you! A similar thing happened to me recently. I will be starting with benefits and a reasonable hourly rate at a hospital in my area. I could not be happier. No rip-off VR pay-rates, no more pay cuts, no more rip-off MT companies that treat us like dime-a-dozen unskilled labor. I truly believe this is going to be a growing trend and is the key to saving our profession from those that just want to take advantage of us. It is my hope that hospitals and clinics alike will recognize that both their costs and quality/privacy-control concerns can be greatly reduced by just having their own staff of MTs -- by not having to compromise and rely on MTSOs or even VR to cut their costs. I found that there are many clinics and hospitals hiring MTs, even in these bad economic times. 
hooray for you!!!!
Finally someone said it! I just hope the person who always says READ THE BOARDS/ARCHIVES will knock it off already and preferably go away.
Hip-hip Hooray, finally
someone explains exactly what is happening at MQ even at ST.Louis office. They put so many people on the accounts, you get switched back and forth from account to account. It is feast or famine in a way. During my scheduled shift, which they asked for, there was no work. If I was willing to switch accounts daily and multiple, and sit on the computer and wait for work, I could make the line count, but I had to sit and wait and watch when the work was available. This was ridiculous.
you are an SE, not an IC, so you don't submit invoice
Work period ends every other Friday and then you are paid the following Friday. They tally your lines and pay you according to it. You don't submit invoices. My pay has always been correct.
They pay 21 days after receipt of invoice....

Well above 12K lines a pay period HOORAY! nm.

Any FutureNet'ers out there? Invoice Question...
In iType when you go look at your invoice information, is the QA% given your actual QA percentage? If not, what does that mean? I have some weird values on one account and low values on another...
typo, I type 1,200 a day or more. Yes I really do. Andrews grad. HOORAY!!!!
nm
No, but one place would do it after we sent a copy of the bill with our invoice, or mailed it
s
Yep. Loving the new account that started today! Hooray TT!
x
Any people at CardioScribes get paid today? When I got my invoice yesterday, sm
I kinda thought that meant I'd be paid today. I know payday is not until tomorrow, but they usually are early, and I thought I'd check before I asked Raul about it.
Thanks.
You won't be hooray'ing abour speech for very long, because it will replace you
when the speech machine has learned all the doctors well and can interpret for them ! Just you wait and see. Your job will be gone . . . bye, bye job.
Time for a registered letter to them with a copy of your invoice for payment within 10 days or
s
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
and this is special because.....? nm
}
No, not very special.
xxx
There ought to be a special SM
piss and moan board just for all you negative types who like to do nothing but complain and be miserable and start trouble.
Well, now - isn't that special?!
*
you must be special, most people get 8 cpl or
less if on the new platform which only pays 60% of your line rate.
You must be special, some of us get nuttin
I haven't seen overtime request in 9 months.
How is the ESL situation at MDI-Fl? Any special
nm
You must be special, I never get a call
and only get a list of work to be done. A thank you once in a while would be nice, or even an offer to change accounts since there seems to be a hiring spree for them. I feel like if I fell off the end of the earth that they would call in 2 days to see why the work was not done,but no one gives a care whether you live or die there.
These special teams they have is just SM
sugar-coating the fact that you get the worst of the worst all shift, every shift. It allows them to funnel all the bad dictator to the MTs who can do them and allow everyone else to have the lighter stuff. I think if they are going to have BEST, STARs or whatever teams, they should be paying MINIMUM 12 cpl for this kind of dictation.
No, they were never special enough to have their own in the first place.
nm
Nah, nothing special. They are interesting though. Perhaps you could ask for some?
Maybe they can put some in your cue now and then. Just a thought.
I have never had a problem, but I know how *special* I am! LOL
I sometimes get ignored, but I know when certain people are in the office or at home, on shift or off. About 96% of the time I have no problems at all. Had platform problems today and got a prompt answer and had it all fixed up within about an hour.
Special situation
Hey guys,
I got kind of a special situation and was curious if anyone had any suggestions. I am living abroad for 6 months and then will be returning back to my house in the US. When we came abroad I was working for a company and then started with another company a short time ago. I like them a lot, but they are mostly VR and I can't stand it and make no money doing it, so I was out looking for another company. I am a US citizen and pay US taxes, but I am having trouble finding a decent company to work for. I know some people do this job and are military wives stationed all over, so I thought maybe someone would have an idea of a great company hiring at the moment? I am fresh out of ideas. I have several that will gobble me up gladly when we get back to the US, but I need to work while we are away. I can stay where I am, but I am not really making any money and went part time due to the VR editing mess. Anyone know of any solutions?
Thanks in advance!! 
I saw that ad and took special note of it also. (sm)
My first thought was their accounts must be extremely backed up and they (KS) are in danger of losing clients, thus the need hire MTs who are going to be able to pull off that line count within only their first week.
However, there is ALL WAYS more to a story than meets the eye.
It takes special ppl to do what we do. Either you have it or you don't. sm
Not everyone is cut out for this field. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you because it definitely has it's perks! Like sitting in my PJs as I type this, while my hubby sits in traffic. It took him 5 hours to get home the other night from an ice storm. I'd list more bonuses, but there are just way too many and I have to get back to work.
Jayne, I didn't have to do anything special. I have
my SmarType running with MS Word and when my Word program opens SmarType is running with it. Load your SmarType and see if it will automatically start running when you open your Word program.
A special place in hell
awaits those people who told you that. I was an MT for 15 years and the most I ever made was 32K. That was several years ago when I worked at one of the last hospital jobs still around then. My pay actually got lower each year. I finally left the field.
Back in the day when I first started doing this, I constantly heard stories similar to my sister-in-law/aunt/cousin/best friend works in Florida/Texas/California/New York and makes $20 an hour doing transcription!!!!
I kept hearing about those big money jobs but I never found one. I've worked in every hospital, clinic, doctor's office and national you can think of and barely made ends meet. I'm so sorry they got to you. I wish I could get to people before they put down their money thinking their going to make big bucks. It's such a lie.
What makes u think u should get special treatment?
Tons and tons of ESL and you can't avoid them.
Why would you talk to the owner? Are you special? sm
Perhaps you missed the email about contacting your direct supervisor. I would never call her for anything. I have a person to go to.
Is there special equipment required with
Just curious.
yes true, unless on Special Teams, then 9 cpl
nm
Do you need a special foot pedal for DVI?
nm
Special foot pedal
You need a special foot pedal for TransNet.
You must be a special person - to have someone care so much about you.
NM
So you deserve special treatment? sm
MTs that don't have kids are ALWAYS stuck with the weekends and nights. It is expected of us to take up the slack for the MTs with kids ALL THE TIME. And when asked ONE TIME to switch and work a night or a weekend so an MT without kids can do something, the answer is always NO I want to be with my kids. Go ahead and flame me because personally I'm SICK OF IT!
Nothing special about it. I'm an IC, and those were my requested days
x
Well, aren't you just SOOO special!
I also have a special needs child, but my company routes
our work so that one person can't do lots and lots of minutes and there not be any for the others. Usually there is plenty of work for everyone to do lots and lots of "extra" minutes. There have been rare days where there wasn't a lot of extra work, usually due to the hospital system being down, and I may be a couple of hundred lines short because there needed to be some work for everyone, but usually the next day there was plenty to go around. Unfortunately most companies just want the work done and doesn't care who does it. If someone stays up all night to work that is better for TAT, which is a major concern with most companies these days.
