why the water bucket being thrown on the fire

Where's the popcorn?
Ha ha ha!
*munches popcorn*
good question.. (although I really do try pretty hard to not leave blanks, but if I need a second set of ears, it is QA I send to, to confirm what I hear, or if the doc is new to me)
I have a nice one too, but qualified for it 4 years ago when I did well as an MT at a hospital.
each and every month. I have invested so much in this car, I don't see how I can give it up... lots of working with the lender, etc. They don't understand about outsourcing hospitals and services, they don't understand about not making rent or car payment. They only care about breaking legs if you don't make a payment. So I keep in close touch with them. This way, I have my leg available for the foot pedal, so when I do have work, I can to pay the bill.
Nice Try Flo, 10 years experience doing what, raising kids?
hmmmmm??
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm

I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice
that's nice. have a nice weekend.

Nice post, thank you and have a nice day. nm

I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!
Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
It wasn't tough 5 years ago. Or 10 years ago, yet
How to you spell
G-R-E-E-D ???
All the shifty, dishonest, greedy pigs in this country belong in JAIL.
Did MTfor 10 years; QA for 2 years and now
doing editing of speech/voice recognition. I find all three to be very different. MT you start with a blank page or a template, QA you have the whole document and you need to give a good quick read and check for correct name, MRN, formatting, and all blanks, etc., and if you know the MT you do not necessarily need to give the whole document voice to typed - editing is a whole 'nother thing. From what I have seen so far - you have a document and you cannot count on anything being correct - you need to change almost everything in some cases - which is more difficult than a blank sheet as there is a lot of deleting and it is confusing. It can be helpful because some of the medical words are in there and some of the drugs can be correct - and although I have found easier on the wrists some days - still very, very difficult. You must match exactly voice to type because you cannot count on anything to be correct - JMHO
I think it just boils down to years and years of
If you kick a dog often enough, it's going to not only turn on you, but other dogs as well. Even though I made more money as an in-house MT, our managers were the worst. All greedy, self-serving women who lied, cheated, and made their way up the management ladder by stepping on those of us who worked under them. They created hostility, distrust and ill will in the office by pitting MT against MT (I suppose they figured it would keep the MT's from turning on THEM!), and the suspicion it bred created a hostile workplace like no other. I finally couldn't take it anymore and quit to work at home, for less than half the money. I'm lucky - I have an employer that at least treats me well, even though the pay stinks. But from what I've read here, that isn't the norm at all. So it's little wonder so many at-home MT's are ready to chew someone's head off. They're tired of being lied-to, cheated on line counts, disrespected, and at the same time expected to produce more and more work, with little to no mistakes. So it's little wonder we're all a mite cranky.
Some of us have been at MDI for years and years. Why should we have to start all the way at the bot
x
Yep! And it's a NICE one, too, for each
full-time referral! The trick there is the new employee has to be meeting their minimum line requirement by 90 days. Good luck!
If you can't say something nice about ... sm
someone/something, don't say anything at all. Then again, I also learned that a "cranky (sic) sailor is a happy sailor" - there is no need for all these people to gripe for no reason except to have their "voice" be heard. Sheesh
Wow, that is so nice of you to say.
I think I know who you are, but please email me tomorrow.
You are such a sweetheart. People like you make my job so much easier. You know, we really try to keep our MT's happy cause Sue and I are MT's and we know what the deal is.
Candy, give me a call or an email tomorrow. That is so nice. MDI has gotten such bad press from this board and you know, I didn't even know how to post and Sue explained it. Duh???
Thanks again,
Liz
they are nice
decent people
She is very nice
I have talked to Jean M. a few times already. I just accepted their offer Friday and wanted to be sure I understood what they had told me. What they told me sounded very good. I am looking forward to starting. They are going to let me work a split shift. I am on evenings now with 2 little boys and it makes it hard.
They were very nice. sm
The two things I did not care for was the unlimited long distance, and their software Bayscribe. Even though it was easy to use, the spellcecker is way too outdated. I did not care for that at all.
Yes..of course..say something nice about OSi
I agree. Based on the writing, wording used, and the same old themes used over and over, it really does seem like the same couple of bitter people complaining about OSi. I don't know what has brought them out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Doesn't really matter to me. I'm happy there. I'm not a newbie, wasn't when I started, and have been there 3 years now. I hope to be there for a long time to come.
WOW, must be nice!!
I have a little over 9 years. 30+ years, way to go!!!
That's nice. They still are not MTs.

It would be nice to know what the
for most of the ER MTs and for most of their acute care MTs so we could get a general feel for what can truly be achieved. I have also heard they have several platforms and wonder which ones are the most MT friendly.
Nice try - someone from QA?
LOLOLOLOL
Oh that is so much BS. QA has always been very nice to me. Everybody's nice.
nm
Nice-
It is nice to be appreciated now and then.
Have a nice day to you all! nm
Thanks, that's nice of you (sm)
I figured the KS people would be happy to get the lost IDs back after a fashion. Maybe the 3 people who had to stop last week can start on it again. It's news to me that KS was getting it all, though. But that hospital wasn't up front with us about many things. I hope you all are making good money on it, I couldn't make much money on that platform even with my IT.
I doubt that there will be severance, though. I'm just a little in shock that it was so fast; I figured we'd have another week or so at least. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
Hey, that's not nice. I'm sure they let her off QA
because, after looking at her reports, they see that she knows what she is doing!
Again - not nice!
You have no idea what dictators she got. I was off QA after the first day at my current job. One of the reports I transcribed on my first day I received back with a note about how exceptionally difficult the dictator was, and what a great job I had done. QA had to leave a number of blanks in that one. It was awful. I still got released from QA, because that horrible, terrible dictator gave me a chance to show what I was made of. If I could handle that guy, I could handle anybody, and I do. Maybe you haven't reached the level of experience and competence to be released from QA in very short order, but there are those of us who certainly have. Maybe some day you'll get there. In the meantime you shouldn't insult those of us who have worked so hard to excel in this field.
That's nice to know. Thanks. nm

Must be nice (sm)
I do work 7 days a week. I transcribe until 11 at night most of the time. I work 3 transcription jobs. I have absolutely no life, no quality time.
I make 8.25 cpl for one company
7.25 cpl for another
9 cpl for a third
The 8.25 cpl job is basically straight typing, no headers, no footers, no demographics to fill in. I can crank out 500 lines an hour but I'm only given 500 lines-700 lines per day to transcribe.
7.25 cpl is VBL, ESL and small amount of work
9 cpl is lots of demographics to fill in, small little notes and not a lot of work but it takes double the time the 8.25 cpl job does.
I would give my eye teeth to make 12 cpl and be able to do 500 lines per hour at the same time. Stopping and starting, filling in demographic blanks and forms takes up so much time that I'm lucky if I make $2200 a month but again, 7 days a week and no life away from the computer.
Nice!
Well I emailed them and asked what that was all about with no response. I guess that is what they are going to give. I will be staying away from them in the future and would suggest people to do the same. This is highly highly unprofessional in my opinion.
must be nice............
gosh, what does it feel like to actually make $25.00 an hour? I do remember long long ago when I made this much while on overtime and working inhouse, but I am lucky to get anywhere close to $10 an hour these days, most of the time even less. I guess I am just not fast enough to even be in this business.
nice one--very nice

that was really nice of you...
to take the time to write all that! I'm sure many will benefit from what you had to say.
Nice of you, but now everyone on here
I would think unique is what you should care about. I don't care for the fact that you are stating we don't care if you worked at Burger King because that is what a resume should consist of, truthful work history, education, experience.
I would just like to add that you didn't mention that it's best if you do have private accounts to keep the names private because there are MTSOs out there that will try to steal your clients. Therefore, I list specialty only.
I must be okay since I've gotten plenty of responses. Maybe your resumes were from new MTs or non-MTs that were make believe, but usually an MT has a good grasp for a resume. JMO. Thanks for sharing!
Hey J - nice to see ya!!!
Hey J - nice to see ya!!! I second, third, fourth and fifth that. Cardioscribes IS a very nice place to work AND has very nice people that work there. So nice try. It did not work. All the naysayers are just good at being...... well.... Negative. Have you ever heard the old saying? If you can't say anything nice, don't say it?
I am with Jennifer, Shannon and Krissy all the way !!!!
lol nice

That would be nice.
I don't know of any MTSOs that pay weekly. It would be very rare if you did find one.
That would be nice...
I saw something similar on mtjobs.com with ATSI, only I think the hours are set and it is probably employee status, not sure. I noticed it said three 12-hour shifts, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Nice try
I had 100% reviews when I was there and I made the bonus for lines typed. I spoke to the recruiter over and over since I had been a supervisor and QA person elsewhere and they wouldn't budge. I think I was making 4.5 on VR when I left and that was because I begged and begged. But if it makes you feel better to say we just aren't good enough, then so be it.. glad you are having a better experience than most...and maybe they upped it since several people were leaving.
