Hi,

I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again.  Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit? 

Thanks,

MT

before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc. 

I also have not received my cable reimbursement.  Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie. 

and now offering direct deposit.   This is a great company to work for.  It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin.  The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children.   There is plenty of work and you use  Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe.  The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English.   I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not  think of working anywhere else.  Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!

Hello,

I had consults, H&P, discharge summary, a few OP notes here and there, basically in all specialities, cardiology, neuro, GI, Ortho, OB/GYN, psych, etc.

One of the things I can tell you for sure that I didn't do was radiology.

HTH, any other questions just let me know!

experience with caths or sleep studies, but can do the basic 4 without any problem.  I can do the worst of the ESLs with rarely any problems, but I sure don't want to do them all day, no matter how much they pay me. 

I'm hoping things settle down.  I don't plan on changing jobs, but didn't plan on changing to this one either but I didn't have a choice.   I'm seriously looking to get out of the MT business, but still be at home. 

Do they let you request certain job types?

My favorite type of job is operative notes and I would be more than happy to take them off everyone's hands. My ideal day would be operative notes (with an occasional psych eval and ER note mixed in). I dream of the days when I could work without a set schedule on the work types that I liked on ONE account. Those were the days.

I'm been with MQ for almost 10 years and right now I'm in the cesspool of 25+ different hospitals; never having the same doctor; I just talked to my supervisor on the phone for the first time ever last week (and she's been my supervisor for 8 months now); haven't had a raise in 5 years despite asking every year. I've stuck it out for the last 3 years being unhappy because I felt fortunate to be able to work from home. I finally got mad enough this past week that I put my resume out and now I have 3 different companies to interview with in 2 days.  

I am fairly new in the MT business, so I don't know a lot about the different types of work situations.

It is my understanding that some companies don't have scheduled shifts but just require a certain amount of lines typed per day.  Is that correct?  If so, does that also mean it does not matter how many hours it takes (so if having a slow day can take 9 hours ... or a fast day can to it in 6)?

That sounds like a good set up, so one could work around other events and such.  If that is correct, are there very many companies who offer this?  

It's easy to get your lines as long as the work is there and you get a halfway decent work type, but if no one can understand the crap that's put out (call it 'work pool' set my managers)--- what difference does it make if they DO have work?  They can have all the work they want - but if you have to put in 18 hours to get 8 hours worth of required lines , well, big deal if they do have work!
