Helping each other
Well here we go again.  Let anyone ask something here and they get a snotty reply.  Instead of this being a site of help from fellow MTs we get the ones who think they know everything and the person asking for help is stupid.  Perhaps I do not speak English.  I said someone posted here about it being a requirement of the US DOL that you be able to verify the method you were being paid by.  That person also listed the link to DOL at that time.  At that time I did not need that info, now I do.  So, I was hoping one of my fellow MTs might know the address/link at US DOL for verifying this information so that I could show it to Human Resources when the time came.  I did not say I needed the address to US DOL.  If you have nothing to contribute, that is fine, then please do not make smart comments.  Telling me to quit is really ignorant, in fact, you sound  like you are in Human Resources instead of a lowly working peasant MT like me.
Over-staffing....
Has it ever occurred to any seasoned/dedicated Transcriptionist that over-staffing is really a non-entity, due specifically to other MTs not doing their job?  I used to be angry when workload was low and think over-staffing, but now I am having to step foot in the company's shoes and realize that this is due to them having slackers!  They do have a commitment to their clients....we all have to realize this...but in order to keep the slacker employees, they just hire a few extra for the account...I don't know, I am pretty hiped up about speech recognition jamming my lines too....
Staffing for Focus
AccuStat Carolinas assists Focus Infomatics for staffing for US MTs for their accounts when they need help. Focus has offshore on their own. I am a US MT and work with AccuStat on a Focus account and all is great!!!
you're not helping....

I was not IC, simply helping out
my local hospital when it was swamped with work, and agreed to help, at $1 per dictated minute.  WONDERFUL $$; I could type off at least $130-$140 a day, and over 20 minutes an hour.  It really is worth it, but ask for at least $1 per dictated minute. 
They have a new account they are staffing
NM.
24/7, Yes; Full Staffing, No.
I started my long-lived career in-house, initially as an LPN and then shifting to transcription. As a nurse, we did not work every weekend. We had a rotation schedule that provided adequate coverage and no one, except those that wanted to, was stuck working every weekend.

When I shifted to transcription in the same hospital, no one except the willing had to work every weekend (weekend coverage was the primary reason the hospital hired part-time). It was set up so that each Transcriptionist worked one weekend every 6 weeks. Despite the fact that it is open 24/7, not all departments are open 24/7. ORs are typically closed except for emergencies, ditto with radiology, clinical services, and the sundry labs (CV, EEG, etc.). There was no need for a full compliment of transcriptionists then, and forced weekend work is just MTSOs creating a need rather than fulfilling one.

Most of us do this job because of the convenience, and we do appreciate that. However, because of the new rules requiring weekends and 16 hours a day (including weekends) sitting at our desks to snag each report as it rolls in to make the same wage we were getting 20 years ago, it's losing a lot of that, and those that are willing to just shrug it off are part of the reason it has gotten so bad. And, since you don't walk in my shoes, don't tell us to get a new job. With the responsibilities some of us have added to the crapper today's economy is in, doing so is not quite the snap your rose-colored glasses tell you it is.
K-Force Staffing.......PSM
Hi! Any new reports on K-Force staffing. I am currently working and reasonably happy, but I received a call out of the blue on an old resume that was banked on Yahoo, and a lady called me, very interested, just the right candidate for immediate full-time radiology position, the whole 9 yards. BUT I have read several older posts from 2005-6 where there were negative things said. Anyone currently working for this company, what is the scoop, I would really, really appreciate it so very much, don't need to make a bad move at this stage of the game!!!!
not my regular account - just helping out

nm


I'm not management - major staffing changes and

growth just in the last week alone - all for the better.  Just be patient and it'll be worth your while.   You won't be disappointed.     I'd give it another day or two and call them just to follow up. 


Keystrokes is the best so far in my long and varied career! 


Traveling MT.. Sage St. Staffing

Anyone familiar with this new company?  They have ad posted today.  It sounds enteresting and I am enticed by the idea of a change in the new year!


I am wondering why her school isn't helping her. nm

Helping people to understand who they are. sm
All they have to do is set up the world central bank and everything they need for one world government will be in place. The video Money Masters is the best one to watch, but it is long, or Fiat Empire. I think they are available on You Tube. We gave these out for the Ron Paul campaign. This is why he wants to end the Fed and go back to the gold standard.

Here is a shorter video that explains who they are and what is going on. It is called Monopoly Men.

All this info is helping me decide nm
thanks
less staffing all around the hospitals is the norm...
i have siblings in nursing and radiology departments and it's cut, cut, cut = dangerous patient care.
Landmark staffing? Not an MT company. nm

We are having a hard enough time helping ourselves
What makes you so special?
No Indians in MA u think? Thought maybe they had a few helping there. I'm a rookie outside of my

Glad to see you day guys helping out on the weekend. nm

TAT and staffing practices (do they overhire to make TAT?) Also...
is the work routed to you or is it first in/first out. You should be able to plug in and have at it, as much of it as you can do at your own pace, and whatever doctor (ESL or not) comes up, rather than have someone select for you and decide when your 'Q' will run out. Those practices will hold you back from making and working at your full potential.
I am American. Are you helping Americans get jobs? nm

If you don't mind helping out India with their overflow - sm
I worked for them last summer and it was somewhat of a bait and switch they pulled on me.  Originally, I was working on one platform with tons of dictations and then all of a sudden, where did they go?  Then they switched platforms and were told that we needed to help out India with their backlog.  I saw RED!!!!  They outsourced our jobs over there and now we were expected to help them out??? They are the reason why we get paid diddly over here.  Maybe by now it has changed, but that was my experience.  You decide for yourself.
I did some work ON MY TIME helping them and Rebecca never paid me either.
Bad way to run a company.
I love the part where he says we have inadequate staffing in this country!
That makes me so mad - how many of us are sitting here waiting on work every day and he says we have inadequate staffing? That is BU!!$HIT!


Our only hope lies in the facilities staffing MTs direct. SM
Win/win. They save a ton even if they pay us more per line which in turn puts us back in the bladk. We get affordable health coverage and labor laws.

SIMPLE AS THAT

If you sent a resume from the email address *********** please send an alternate email address so that I may respond.

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..

No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.

The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.

We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.

We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
