Log sheet has several in and out slots, but what do you do for example a telephone call from the school that took 10 minutes. You were in the middle of a report so you couldn't sign off, do you note this too as well as lunch breaks or longer breaks?  Don't want my time sheet to show I worked more than 8 hours when I actually didn't. 

How do you all do it? 

I have only worked for MDI a few months, but I can tell you they appreciate their MTs. Compared to the doctor I have worked for 9 years for and whom USED to give me a $1000 bonus, but this year.. NOTHING.. I had been working both jobs, but that made me decide to tell the doctor to take a hike and devote all my time to MDI.. where I'm appreciated...

transcription test.  You can use Start/Stop if it can handle MP3 files.

I just finished the testing and I didn't do so great, mostly because I timed out on th second part without even getting to part of the testing.  I generally don't test well,  but I always ace the transcription part.  I have downloaded the transcription files and listened to the beginning of them so I can't say what they are like all the way through, but from what I heard they are better than most I've had with testing. 

There are 3 parts before you get to the transcription.  The first two are 10 minutes and the last is 20 minutes.  I needed 20 minutes for the second one and only 10 for the third one.

Hey everyone, check out this link. This is what we are up against. Be sure and note how 3M or whoever is the sponsor of this webinar throws in that dictation and transcription is time-consuming.  Nevermind that EMR and VR take more time and money to be successful and it only takes 38 seconds to dictate a returning patient and 2 minutes to dictate a new patient versus 500 clicks on a point and click EMR or the mess VR makes and having to have an Editor come in and clean up the mess. Propaganda that we should know about.

I took the test for the WMX and did pass (they would not accept the schedule I needed).  I do believe that I left a blank on one of the reports, could not hear what was said and I belive I left blank lines for any MD name listed. 

It might have been something else, like maybe you did not hyphenate (5-cm incision), or maybe it was a wrong medical word. 

No one ever tells you what you did wrong.  Maybe you could e-mail them back and find out what it was.  Just tell them you would like to learn from your mistakes so that you could re-apply in the future.

right there to listen for you.  I worked in a department where there were ladies with 20+ years of experience.  It was amazing to me that they could listen once and knew what it was.  Unfortunately, not many places offer inhouse training programs anymore, and even when offered, it seems that most people want to start working at home immediately.  I have tried to mentor people by having them call me and play the dictation over the phone, but it is still not the same.

Nice to meet a fellow TTer 

to death, but I just read the responses to my question about the lunch/breaks and think I might have been misunderstood.

It is line-based pay (not hourly).  I don't expect to be paid for lunch (that is voided out like other jobs).  We work the extra time to have the lunch so doesn't affect our line count

It just seems like if workers are legally supposed to have 2, 15-minute breaks during an 8 hour shift but line count is based on 8 hours, then it's sort of like we really don't get the breaks (like if in an hourly-wage job, people got pay deducted if they took their breaks).

Am I making any more sense wording it this way?

I like the idea of going to my job every day, doing it well, and being done with it. You are not penalized pay-wise if you dont happen to meet your line count and the incentives are nice. I'd say jump from that sinking ship and jump aboard job security.
