In Reply to: What is sick is that there may be SM - I posted below also
Same thing going on with supervisors - working on salaries, answering minimal or no email, unavailable, IMs set to busy or out. Yeh right sure their busy, busy trying to job juggle, and making otherwise available jobs unavailable. Here's my answer - Supervisor has minimum of 80 people to supervise and QA. Bet that'll keepem plenty busy with one job.

multiple jobs
I am an independent contractor and currently work for five different practices. I never feel overwhelmed as none of them are full time. I also have 24 to 48 hour turnaround time because most are not urgent. You just have to find docs who are flexible.
Good luck!

It is a matter of ethics. I have been offered multiple jobs the last
year and have turned them all down because they offshore. I stayed where I am because they didn't offshore. TAT was a problem and I was getting weary of having to work every weekend, even though I did my lines during the week and then some, but I have days where I'm short 300-400 lines. Do you think they got qualified MTs by going to India? I have done QA on a trial basis on offshore work and I have seen the quality that comes from there. If they are going to have to do 100% QA, they can't they do a mentoring program or take a newbie fresh out of school? I've quit at least one job (non-MT) due to the unethical practices of a company.
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

Multiple Accounts
Unfortunately, I think it is becoming more and more common. The company I am at did not start out this way, but I have really seen this change in the last 6 months. They have promised ridiculous turn-around times in order to compete, I assume, with offshoring and to accomplish this it seems to me they are overhiring to cover their bases.
Multiple accounts
I have 4 accounts (all high ESL) and do not mind it at all. The way I look at it, the more flexible you are, the more work you have. :)
I have multiple platforms
I have Emdat, ExText, and Bayscribe on my computer. No problems here. I think it just depends on your computer's processing speed and RAM
Multiple Requests
There were several paragraphs in the agreement that I agree with--don't talk bad about them to anyone, don't try to steal their clients, yada yada yada--and I agree with all that. I just don't think it's right to ask me to find a new profession for the next 12 months. Apparently it's legal, but that doesn't make it right.
LD really isn't an isssue and they have multiple
platforms, not just Meditech, but from what I understand KS itself doesn't have a platform, but you work directly in the hospital systems.
Multiple platforms
There are a few platforms depending on the account. However, of the accounts I've worked on, they all tap into your version of Word, so whatever Expander works there will work with TRX.
Yes, multiple times.
No response.
There are multiple platforms
The platform depends on the account. Every account has a different platform.
one company or multiple?
I have one account that pays great and I am able to sustain high productivity. I have a part-time position with another company that pays less and productivity is slower due to the large size of the account. My dilemma is whether to keep all my eggs in one basket and just go for the easy money every month or struggle through the part-time hours with the other company just to keep diversified. Anyone been in a similar situation? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
one company or multiple?
Are you asking if you should keep the PT job as backup? If you are, I would say yes. For years I've never had just one MT job, always a FT and at least 1 part time and this came in so handy with a recent unexpected department wide closure. In this line of work, if you can't do without the pay, I would always have something going on the side just in case. Unfortunately we just never know when a job is going to end or leave the country. Good luck!~
Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Do you have just one main accounts or multiple. Thanks.

Softscript - multiple choice only, I believe.

Uh...your multiple posts in this thread SM
only show what a bitter person you are when you don't get your way. Also, what is up with the SD I have seen in 2 posts now? Is that your way of spelling said?
From multiple previous posts there is no
set line rate, several variables involved, but most say it is very hard to get lines and pay is low.
Multiple systems, several platforms, they
furnish software for all.
Multiple posts the last 2 weeks, just look below. nm
I would try a place where you can have multiple accounts.
Have clinic be your main but see if you can get an acute care as a backup to prove you can still do it. That was how I got into hospital work. I still try to do a mixture of both to keep it fresh in my mind.
Continued from above -- and yes I have multiple accounts...nm

multiple personalites of ex-boss?
There's no use being mean or arguing on this board about whether or not you can get unemployment. Call the unemployment office in your area and report back what you find out.
A friend recently received a letter from her MTSO stating your services are no longer needed. There was no discussion, no arguing. She was not eligible for unemployment in our state.
Right... I'm sure you would never pretend to be multiple posters.
Because unfortunately I think you ARE multiple personalities! Really, Confucious say: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to post childish nonsense and remove all doubt!
The rest of the quote was that we have to do multiple...sm
specialties. It is entirely reasonable to think a multispecialty MT of 30 years would have a broader base of knowledge than a doctor fresh out of medical school.
An LPN and an RN cannot do surgery, either, yet for some reason you put them above a medical transcriptionist. As for a doctor, unless you are actually performing a surgery, your skill lies in your interpretation of signs, symptoms, lab tests, etc.
A medical Transcriptionist has to use this same thought process every day. How many times to look at the past medical history to figure out a medication or look at a lab value to differentiate a diagnosis?
I am afraid you sell MTs very short.
Because one person can have multiple negative posts

Multiple posts everyweek about both. Just look down the page.
Does anybody have any info on the TTD, Inc on the job board multiple times?
 Cannot seem to find any info on them. TYIA!
Ditto. No work here on multiple accounts. nm

I also work for Warminster. Thinking of trying to transfer out. It is now the NE and yes multiple
accounts all the time. Warminster has always done this and I hear the same for the NE so may be time to look at other MQ offices.
Platform bad, toggling between multiple screens, never got feedback

Close to 9 cents not including multiple incentives

There have been multiple postings by someone saying "RUN" who admits they used to work here. s
I'm done. You won't see me here for a long time.
Thanks for the scolding. I try to look on the bright side of life, but apparently by doing so I'm being presumptuous.
Nice people but low work, and yes I have multiple accounts!! nm

They have been discussed multiple times the past 1 to 2 weeks, look
down the board. There wasn't anything good though.
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
The key is working multiple accounts. Three months is hardly long enough to get a handle sm
on the job. Maybe better to keep a parttime job until you are up to speed on the new job. I haven't run out of work in almost a year (and that was only for a few minutes), but I do multiple accounts. Great company, great people. Nice bennies.
DSG - Rude people, ran out of work, shuffled around on multiple accounts!

General rule of thumb is multiple length of dictation by 3.
.
I much prefer Bayscribe. No messing around with multiple screens, doc lookup right there, etc.
It's very convenient to use. ExText seemed much bulkier and much slower to me.
Fifteen years experience here and also offered 8 cpl as a max at multiple companies. This biz is
going down hill fast. I remember making 10 cpl 10 years ago and that was cheap..Only profession I know that has gone down in wages rather than up. Very sad. If you offered 8 cpl..take it..
It is hard to give Spheris facts, since there are multiple units to it. Leave

When they "link" multiple job numbers for one report, like Four View Of The Feet And Ankles.&#
There are multiple platforms for rad including Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star, MiSys. Sm
I am on a MiSys account. I have a few friends on RadNet and ExText accounts. All radiology. I think it is the same for Medical Records too.
Look at all the jobs on the jobs boards.
You can find a job and won't have to apply for unemployment. You would be surprised how many companies need qualified MTs! Go get 'em and get 'em now!
Don't wait until the 11th hour. Too many needs to put your hat in the unemployment slot.
What they lost is our gain.
3 jobs
Yes, I currently work 3 jobs; 2 are national (both suck); pay okay and am an employee and the other one smaller company am an IC (are very nice) but pay a little less. Going crazy because they overhire (the 2 national companies).
4 jobs here
