put on a blonde wig and a tight dress, look like Anna Nicole Smith and type all day long. And I'm not even a woman!

Got mine from Transtech this morning. Amex gift cheque. LOVE THEM!

There was no work for me this morning and . . .
that was okay. I spent more time with my 2 babies. I held my 9 1/2 month old in my arms while he struggled to stay awake and finally gave in to his sleepiness. As I type this, I am listening to my "almost 2-year-old" laying on the living room floor "watching" TV talking to herself, curled up with her blanket, and almost sleeping. It makes me smile. Just about 15 minutes ago, I snuck outside and gave my horse a carrot and she nickered a nice hello. THAT is why I'm home.
I work for Transcend. Have been for about a 1-1/2 months. I have learned a lot and I hope to learn more. I checked my Ps and Qs before I left my in-house, cushy, very solid clinic position to work at home. I checked the money situation. (I was also lucky enough to land an IC job with a local clinic that pays .12cpl, but only comes out to $100 a week as they don't have much work for me.) I hemmed and hawed over it for 7 months before I made my decision to stay home. I will admit it, it is a little frustrating not to have work, but, there will be work later. I may never have benefits through them, I may have to marry my (not so darling...ha ha) boyfriend (the father of the two kids) in order to get health insurance....but I'll deal with it. I LOVE being at home. (BF is jealous and wants to be home to, my Dad, who is soon to be retiring, is jealous as well. Course, they're MEN and wouldn't be able to work and watch the kids, but I'll let them be jealous!)
When I first started with transcription over 7 years ago, I never even thought of working at home, never really crossed my mind. I feel very lucky to be in a career that allows me to do both, be at home and still have a career. I'm not afraid of hard work or minor setbacks. I've put up a 1/4 mile of horse fence in 90+ degree weather, this is easy. Sure, it may come with some "bull****, and slow times, and frustrating times, but then I have a morning like I did today...(see above)...and I sigh...and smile.  To each his/her own. If ya don't like the stew, get out of the pot.
No, just out of work this morning

Yippee I actually did run out of work this morning!
Just went on out to the garden and picked some strawberries and rhubarb and made a pie. Let's see what other fun I can have today. The weekend is coming up and I'm betting there'll be more than plenty and no long line of people waiting to do it.
Weird, I had work this morning and all day. sm
I will say that if you are going to hit no work, generally it is on a Monday a.m. after payroll ended Sunday night; everyone who was short on hours during the week ends up making up time on Sunday nights and it takes a few hours for Monday's work to stockpile.
There's a BUNCH on there now!
Any other TransTech people out of work this morning? sm
After the big hiring blitz, I am afraid that maybe my account is getting saturated. I guess that is the way with all good things ... it doesn't last.
Why is TransTech hiring when I have no work this morning? sm
Why do these companies do this? Hire, hire, hire while I am sitting here waiting for work for the past 3 hours.
Nope, suddenly no work at TT this morning
What is up with this???
my work loads anywhere from the morning to late afternoon...
but I have until sunday until midnight to get it done, so it is not like you are working the entire weekend...depends how fast and motivated you are--LOL
Amen! Yeah, work was low Tues morning,
but I said THANK GOODNESS so I could take a break. Came back later and there was plenty.
It's not like gasoline where a supply can be kept for the low times. No; any transcription company has to try to stay within TAT or they lose money. When they lose money, do they penalize the MTs? Nope; they eat it.
I firmly believe that the good companies want to hire good people and keep them, but also get good accounts and keep them, so they have to delicately manage things the best they can. They have to let people take vacations now and then, and they can't predict when people will be sick or have emergencies. If you've ever worked in a hospital medical records department, you know that some of the docs are notorious for waiting until they are threatened with loss of privileges before they catch up their backlogs. So then they go in and dictate 200 reports they shoud have been doing for the last 2 months. Get a few of those and then there's a real crisis. Everybody gets a notice to work - work - work. Finally 2 weeks later everybody has worked their tushes off and done all this extra work, and everything is caught up on Monday morning. Then the docs come straggling in to do their dictations on Monday, while MTs sit at their desks, fuming because their is no work. Well whose fault is that? Management's? Nope, that's just business. I doubt there is a business in this world that is the same day in and day out, 7 days a week, every week of the year.
Thanksgiving is weeks away, yet no work on TransTech this morning. sm
I have 2 accounts, with no work on either. I used to think they cared, but now I am not so sure. If there is no work now, I have to think the closer it gets to Thanksgiving, it will really be awful. 
That explains it, yesterday I had no work, this morning DS on today's date. NM

Clinic or acute care? I am looking to work 5-6 hours a day during the morning and early SM
afternoon hours. Which type of work is more appropriate for this kind of schedule, clinic or acute care? I really do have some time constraints outside of these hours as well as on weekends, so I need to find something where I can concentrate on working during those daytime hours. I am a newer Transcriptionist (at this point looking for IC), and I am hoping to find a place to stay for a long time. Any advice appreciated. Thanks
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Spheris has work and they would love to have you work

I would love to work for DRC (sm)
but their family insurance coverage is over $900 per month! I can't afford to pay half of my salary for insurance. I wish they had a cheaper insurance plan.
I LOVE it this way! I get my work at 6 am and have
until 6 am the next day to return it completed. I love it! It's the greatest thing in the world. Some days, I type all morning and I'm done by noon, some days I have things to do so I type in the evening - works out great, AND, I get paid much higher doing it this way!
I work for them...love it!

I work for DSG..love it there.
I'm not an editor, but the staff, editors and MTs are great to work with. I am happy there.

I work there and love it
I have been an SPI/CyMed employee for a year now and I love it there. The platform that they use is called Chartnet and it is sooooo easy to use. I have a great account that I have been on for the entire year that I have been there and I love it. I make excellent money there. My manager is very friendly and helpful. They do also have benefits, but I don't know too much about them since I have never needed to get them.
I work for them and love them.
Great place to work.
love VR work
Try Precyse Solutions. I work for them and do VR and absolutely love it. Have done it for quite awhile and feel I am more productive than straight typing. Also gives hands a break. Their platform rm is wonderful as well. Good luck!
I work for WMX, love it ...
Granted, I've only been there for a few weeks, but so far I love it. The people are absolutely great, the platform is easy, and I really like the 12-hour window to get my work done in. My primary is 30-50% ESL, but I'm finding out that it's actually much less than that, unless I'm really getting lucky, which is always a possibility. It seems like overall it would balance out, though, to get my fair share of it. I don't have any complaints at all about WMX. Love their incentive tier platform, also. You get paid incentive on ALL work done, not just work done ABOVE the incentive base.
I would LOVE to work at FN!
I am from South Carolina and know the new account they are obtaining very well. I have called, tested (they emailed me back and said I passed) and emailed and have not heard anything. This would be a dream account for me as I have worked for many of the doctors on this account in the past. Any advice?
would love to go to work..sm
I would love to go to work for this company. I put in my resume, but haven't heard anything. Do you know how long it takes for them to respond?
I love where I work.
Medium size I guess, lots of work, pay on time, flexible hours. Love it!
I work for TRS and I love it.
I've been there 5 months now, and the only way I could be happier is if my old boss hadn't shut down his practice so that I had to find a new job....
After all the horror stories I've read here and elsewhere about other companies (some of which also offered me jobs) I consider myself very, very lucky in my choice of jobs. They've kept every single promise they made when they recruited me, and the only times we've run out of work have been on major holidays.
E-mail me at crankybeach at yahoo dot com if you have specific questions, or want to know more. :)
I work there, love it
I do work on VR but working only parttime do at least $500 per week. I have never had an email asking about where I was in the years I have been there. Maybe you have a problem with not showing up to work? I love the lack of communication, no one breathes down your neck there.
I work for TTS and love it
Anytime someone wants to know about TTS it always seem to garner the same information. Some love, others hate. I do VR and my platform is extremely good. I get paid on time, hardly any feedback. I have worked there about 2 and a half years and very satisfied.
I don't work for WMX, but also love sm
to do ops. My experience, and I hope this is wrong in your case, is, one has to work their way up in order to get lots of ops.
I would put the word out you enjoy them and are very experienced. Many MTs don't like doing them, although I cannot figure out why.
Anyway, good luck to you.
I work there and LOVE it. sm
Pay is on time, doctors for the most part are great, accounts are super picky, QA are wonderful. I highly recommend them!
What I love is someone who is out of this work now
and yet finds the time to educate others on what they should and should not do. I also really like when people can run either hot or cold, 1 day 1 way, the next day the next. I think if I had any legal action facing me I probably would think more about that than telling others what to do.
I work for AllType and love it! nm

Thank you! I will take the work. I love Transcend!

love ortho work
Me too! I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I'd love to work for OSI in management
LOL
I work for CorT and love it!
Have been working with them for about 6 months now. There have also been good posts about this company. It's amazing how people forget the good. They are great people to work for. They have had problems in the past with pay, but that has been resolved. I've had no pay problems since then. They have consistent work. The owners actually care about the people that work for them. I will not be looking elsewhere for a place to work!
I work for GIMT and LOVE it....
Still a small company, but really NICE people, empl status, almost all clinic work, good pay, flexible hours. The only downside is no benefits yet, so need your own insurance. I will never move again; would have to get fired first.
Same thing where I work and I love it
especially when it is a difficult dictator or a really fast talker. If I can't understand him/her I will pull up past reports by him/her and look for the same type of report. Helps out big time!!
I currently work for them, and absolutely love them!
Pay is direct deposit and always on time. The account I'm on is relatively easy, although there are a few ESLs. I've been there 6 months now, and am very happy.
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.
I work for two companies and love them both
StenoMed and Executive Transcription Solutions.
I do not work in the office but I love my job. I have never sm
had broken promises, have a lot of work (1500+ lines every day), get paid on time AND I have spoken to the owner, who has always been very nice to me. I do not talk to her often, only if she happens to answer the phone when I call, and I have never talked to her about an account. I would go through HR or my lead if I were to need more work, which is what you are supposed to do.
I have a friend who also worked at Keystrokes but it did not work out for her ONLY because she thought she was special, tried 4 or 5 different accounts, refused to deal with anyone except the owner who repeatedly told her to talk to HR, complained about everything. She finally went to another company when her lead expressed concern about her quality.
Guess what? You might not be surprised that she has been to 4 other companies since that happened a year ago and has the same supposed complaints about every company out there.
Maybe you thought you were special and went over everyone's heads. Why would you bother the owner of a company? It sounds like you were offered many accounts but didn't like any of them from your post. Perhaps the problem is with YOU. But of course not.
I too work for Medware and LOVE it...
They were a very good change for me also. The benefits are good. My team leaders are GREAT. I could NOT have picked a better place to work. They DEFINITELY are a GREAT company to work for, and I too have been VERY happy there!
I work for Medware...I love it!
I work Ortho and love it!!!
I always have more than enough work, pay on time, lead is wonderful....very few ESLs....my work is assigned, not pooled, so that helps not having to fight others for work...
I work on Scribe and I love it...
very easy to get good line count and very user friendly...
