Big difference between 2000 and 3000 lines per shift.

YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

What is great money to you may not be to all.
8 cpl is not a whole lot. Can you average a whole lot of lines per hour on their typing program?
Your money is not that great
Do you think you are all high and mighty all of a sudden because you told us what you make? Do you think the rest of us here are unemployed losers? Several MTs make that and more, including myself. Get over youself and your average MT salary. How much you made last year isn't the point and you are continuing to make a fool of yourself. The point is we want to continue to make money. Quit digging yourself a deeper hole and quit trying to justify your pathetic point of view. Yawn!
I get paid great money being an MT - sm
If you aren't happy with where you are, look elsewhere or get your own accounts. There IS money to be made; keep looking.
I make great money there
I do not do radiology, but ER and basic 4, and I make 10 cpl, have tons of work, and make a great living there. That is just my own experience. Others may have had different experiences there.
I would go with the great money account personally. SM
Would mind sharing the name of the company or are you IC?
I work at DDS and love it. Make great money!
Doing great! Made more money in one week at TT than I did in a whole month
at previous job!
I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
Make great money with EditScript - it will learn the formatting

No one gets 3000 line a day!
No way!
i could do 2500 to 3000 on ER too
You have life in the easy lane... ER docs, the same 10-20 at most day in and day out.. Try basic 4 with antiquated platforms (meditech) and 2000-5000 dictators to try and get a handle on.
3000 lines at 3 cpl $90
First off, you need to get 3000 lines worth of work to make the money. IF you manage to get 3000 lines worth of work to make 90 bucks per day, then you've had a good day. Most do not have good days. IF you can make 3000 lines within the 8 hours without compromising quality that's okay too, but IF you have to run audio at full speed and you’re listening to a chipmunk on speed, then that's not good for the doctor, the patient, or for you as a transcriptionist.
I almost forgot, Uncle Sam needs his cut of that 90 bucks and depending what state you live in.........he has a health appetite and takes a big bite out of it. The one thing that gets me through the day these days is the joy of retirement within the next year and a half.
3000 each day? Wish I was young again-LOL - good for you!

Is this consistent 3000 lines per day
I have hit 3200 lines on a secondary ER account, but not on a consistent basis because the work ran out. This was also working overtime on a VERY easy account with very good normals. It is my understanding that this account no longer exists.
2500 to 3000 a month is not unreasonable. SM
I do about 2000-2500. It depends on the work type. I like OP notes (if I am fortunate enough to get them). ERs would be nice too, but haven't done those in years. I work for MQ.
I have made $2500-3000 for a national, but....
I have to work seven days a week 12-15 hours a day to do that and end up having no life and no benefits. I am giving this up and going to work for a local hospital. I know that at first I will not make the same, but it is worth it to me to go to work for 8 hours and be done instead of dragging it out up to 15 hours a day and not making that much less. Actually, over 8 hours in a hospital I do make more than working 8 hours at home. It makes me tired and grouchy and my family is tired of me being at home like that. I feel so much pressure every day trying to make a decent line count and it just takes too long. I want to get a life..
And their office in India employs over 3000 MTs.
abba dabba
I usually average anywhere between 2500-3000 lines per shift
at KS.
WAY! The closest I have come is 2700 but I do know a couple of ladies that have hit 3000. nm
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM
,
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

Also $2000. mo.
I'm right there with ya, pass the Kleenex. Over 10 years' experience, work to exhaustion, and bring home $2000. a month.
Years ago it was easy to build up normals, especially for Op reports, and get a decent lph rate. Now, shortcuts are unheard of -- my accounts are teaching hospitals so there are new residents every semester and it's like starting a new account every few weeks.
The old accounts with normals and easy dictators have gone by the wayside in my world -- apparently some of the high-earning posters here must have found them.
You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them. 1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines. Something is wrong with their line counting.
If you read their ads, you see that they are XP and 2000 only. sm
I spoke to KS a few weeks ago and was told that they do not accept satellite or VISTA. I have both :(
I think In Shock should concentrate on fixing the situation or moving on rather than continuing on and on here. The people she is angry with probably don't bother with these boards. They have other fish to fry. I know that I read these posts for entertainment when bored, but if I want real information, I go to the source.
Give it up and move on or figure out a way to work with them. If they do read these, I am sure they can figure out who you are and would not even want you at this point if you are just going to keep harping on it.
There are other companies out there that might use VISTA, but I have not seen many.
Have you tried talking to the person who you say told you this? On reading your post, I could not tell.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you? That's amazing!! By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day
for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Usually averaged over 2000 per day, but
why do you ask?
Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm
m
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm

I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital
oh my god that work rocked! It was 95% normals and work was plentiful. Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report. Ka-ching!
Ahhhh...the salad days. I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.
Now I'm all bummed again. Where did I put that cheesecake....
at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
hosp I worked for paid IC MTs $1.25/min for 2000 min/mo and
??
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
And they have been that way since I worked for them back in 1999 or 2000!
x
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.
Yup, it is doable.
Really? I just came from a company that expected 2000 minimum!
Per day. I guess I was getting screwed, but at 5 cpl, 1200 lines a day (if you work only 5 days a week) is only 1200 a month! How can you live on that?
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm
On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures. It looks like there is no message (there is though)
Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it. This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians. Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this.
