Craigslist is full of complete idiots.
The funny thing is, I've seen dealers post with grammar/spelling like that. 
I make it a point to not buy things from people like that. I mean, a typo here and there is one thing, but some of them type like 5 year olds and I don't want to give money to idiots!
If you don't complete what can you do? I don't,,,
work myself silly trying to get caught up. If I'm short, so be it....it's my paycheck, so I am really only harming myself in the wallet.The thing that irritates me is that when everyone is short they try to make up their time on their days off during my regular work time, taking work away from me.
you are a complete mess!!
ewwwwwww!
Complete with mug shot
with a lot of help from her
Why The Complete Turnaround... NOW
?? at this point in time? The problem is, begging for work like this is humiliating. You have work today, how about tomorrow? Will they open the flood gates again?
BTW--I complete my work in the daytime
..definitely not interested in 3rd shift!
Ad says if you complete testing, you will be entered

Don't know company, but post seems complete to me. nm
Complete medical transcription
has anyone ever heard of the co Complete Medical Transcription? I was offered a job, ic status, but when she called the caller id came up as mynameisjoanna, WI no number. Also her email just says joanna. do you think this is an overseas co. any thoughts??
It took me 6 months to get complete refund...
and I left the company in January. They at first only refunded me 100 dollars and said due damage to the monitor they would not be refunding the remaining 200. I explained to them there must be some mistake because the monitor was in perfect condition when I shipped it back to them but they still refused to refund the remaining 200 dollars, but then out of the blue I received a check last week for the 200 dollars and they sent an email saying Although the equipment was damaged, we have decided to refund the remaining 200 dollars anyway. Okay whatever but the equipment was not damaged when I shipped it back, but I am glad they decided to do the right thing.
The company has a complete checklist...
They state you must have Win XP for example. They mention that Word 2000 is not compatible, but that Word 2003 is. They don't say anything about Word 2002. I work on another software that is web based and it's compatible with a USB pedal, so I kinda don't get why EditScript would need a 9-pin pedal to work, in which case I would need an adapter since my PC is all USB.
I'm being hateful to complete strangers?
you've got it all figured out, now don't you? Guess you told me, huh?
Are you dyslexic by any chance, or just in a rush to judgment? The first 10 years of my career, I was an in-house MT with great pay and benefits. We were respected employees in the hospital and I enjoyed a reputation as being a top-notch MT....that's how I got a 30% raise with free benefits at Baylor College Medicine and later at Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, working during the hey-day of heart transplant advances made by such world-renown doctors as Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey. You may have heard of them. So you see, I never really considered myself a failure, having been in the position to have the privilege of being a part of that. I guess I needed you to bring that to my attention.
After outsourcing, I maintained my connections to the Baylor and the TMC through my accounts and typed my way through ground-breaking AIDS research and later pioneering advances in plastic surgery. Silly me. I didn't measure my success in terms of dollars and cents, worldly possessions and the like. I took great pride in my work (still do) and learned to struggle through the love/hate relationship I had with it. At least I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was a part of something that was intelligent, important, worthwhile and helpful to others. I stayed in it for the only real reason I have ever understood throughout the years...quality patient care. I had a contribution to make to that. You see, dear, it was not an industry to me...it was my calling.
My post was an attempt to address the unnecessary hate part of that relationship. My comments were not directed toward some mean-spirited stranger in need of a self-righteous superiority fix, but feel free to trounce me to your heart's content. I did not put in all those years of hard work to be run out of the profession by theiving subcontractors or the likes of you. I had a story to tell and a message to deliver to the penny pinching TTD scavenger, no more, no less.
Your judgmental, snide and trite observations are too petty to merit further comment, except to say that you need to reserve the pity party for yourself. You are the one who has made a sad and meaningless commentary here, not me.
But what about the ER report being disjointed and not complete - sm
Is that the way to run a medical record? Is that the way to report a human experience? I think something needs to be done about this sloppy and I do mean sloppy reporting of a patient medical case.
The info given by Happy MT is very complete,
but do remember the amount of income you do your calculations on is the amount AFTER your deductions. Refer to IRS website for deductible office space, equipment, and expenses, etc. for home office.
I am sure she was legally bound not to say anything about the sale until it was complete. That is s
business by the person who owns the business and the person who is purchasing it. She built her business, paid people for the work they did (does not owe anyone more than that), sold it and moved on. Why is it so hard for anyone to understand and why make it personal?
Thanks! How long does the test typically take to complete? nm

I was also told I had to complete 8 hours even if I got my lines before that. nm

Just update your resume, be more complete but keep it brief. They just want to know the nature of yo
If you want a job, and they want to know how to fit you for which department, best to say what you can do like basic 4 acute 10 years, etc. Nothing wrong with that question. They are just trying to match your skills with the job. Some MTs have only done clinic notes or psych notes and some have never done ops no matter 10 or 20 years, etc. Put yourself in their shoes and you will find a reasonable answer. IMHO
uh, judging by this complete thread, sounds like a lot

Are there any companies that allow you a 12-24 hour window to complete work?
x
Total, utter and complete waste of time, effort,
The *CMT* so-called credential is nothing but a scam. THEY get rich, and you DON'T.
I think it's Texas. I'm glad I didnt complete the testing. The sound quality was bad.
I want to think that this Rose was defending one of her newer MTs that had been burned by a former employer for nonpayment so I find this interesting that they would turn out the be the same way.. Wow...
Must be another country, I have not
heard of anything at all like this and I try to catch all news, not just local.
What area of the country are you in?
//
Wrong Country
They are outsoucing to Trinidad and Guyana, with others coming very quickly.
moving to the country
I'm moving to the country and will not have broadband or DSL available for who knows how long. I have not been in this situation before and would like to know if any of you know of any companies that do not require either of these - I will have access to dial-up and possibly some sort of high-speed that is brought in by a radio receiver on the top of my house. It's a good move - just maybe not a good move for an MT - any help with companies that do not require high-speed with cable or dsl would be appreciated. 
and what country are you writing from?
nm
There are plenty of MTs in this country
who WANT to work - and guess what? The work is not as plentiful as it was because of people like you who choose to support the economy of a foreign country rather than your own country. So, when all the US jobs are gone as you stated, it will be YOU who helped it happen, not us.
I understand what you mean, Country Mt,
and I'm sorry that we can't all agree to disagree instead of acting like dogs attacking each other.
It's absolutely ridiculous that grown women feel it necessary to act the way some folks on here do.
Just know you're not alone in your opinion.
Country MT, you need to move - to
.
You are absolutely right. Also he is from a country
My fault for staying for so long. I also stayed in a relationship which he said was situational stress, and when I got out he thought I should have stayed. I guess that was my fault too... I am going to a woman soon, but I already changed my job to a good one which I know will take care of me. So, I guess I solved problems without a shrink... how to wean off the nerve pills... or not! LOL.
how do you get calls from "all over the country" sm
if you don't advertise or anything? Wow, you must be out of this world!
Work is going to India or some other country. nm
depends on part of country - I will take pay cut. sm
I'm an MT x10 years, great for growing family. Now that kids are in school going back for BSN (R.N. plus bachelors combined). Husband thinks I'm crazy. I make $55,000+ as an MT because of production + incentive. I transcribe 300+ lph and have an excellent line rate with a national.
I'm in the midwest, so as a BSN who does not get paid more than RNs here, I will take a huge pay cut, to the order of about $15,000 a year less. Why am I doing it, because I want to be a nurse practitioner or a P.A. eventually and want to love what I do - that will be more money in the long run too with the higher degree. I like being an MT, but working from home has turned me into a fat, lazy person who does nothing but type because it's easy money for me since I know the lingo and am well educated, plus I can type fast.
If you want to be a nurse, as another poster said - don't do it for the money, do it because you feel in your heart it is what you are meant to do because it is a very, very demanding job that requires a great deal of knowledge and skill.
Are all of their accounts out of CA or spread across the country? TIA (NM)

Does Transcend outsource out of country?
I was told when I was hired that their editing is for VR. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I know for a fact they offshore, what country I don't know.
In an interview a team leader let slip that they offshored and that is was the good stuff that was offshored.
Try a board in a third-world country
because it sounds like that is who is left working for them.
And the jobs will then be shifted to another country.
It will always be about the almighty dollar and companies will always be able to find someone in the world who will outbid American MTs.
Not my responsibility to develop their country
It stands to reason if they built their own hospitals, which they could easily staff with all the Indian ESL dictators we currently struggle with (while we hand them the moneymaking easy ones on a silver platter), they then could do their own transcription for their own healthcare providers. Why the heck won't big business invest in building them some of their own hospitals? Because this is about profit, NOT altrusim for our fellow man!
Maybe you're going to retire in a couple of years, so you don't really care about the future of this industry. But if not, when you lose your current job to outsourcing, will you still deny there's a problem? Or will you take another job for less pay, again and again, until the industry completely leaves this country - then will you realize there's a problem? When you are forced out of this industry, and find the competition for other types of work is harder than it used to be, will you see a problem then?
Its not just this industry being outsourced. I grew up in Michigan! Its turning into a ghost state due to loss of jobs to outsourcing. That's an example of an entire state being affected, and its only one of many in the rust belt. But I guess you don't know anybody there, so you'd rather sympathize with someone halfway across the world. It is not ok to undevelop our country in order to develop others. Maybe when our homeless shelters overflow and our streets are full of beggars, and every undeveloped company has cable TV and McDonalds on every corner, we'll quit being in denial at what we are allowing to happen under our very noses. But by then it'll be too late for us to reverse this trend of trying to raise the rest of the world's standards at the expense of our own.
It's a free country. My son is currently fighing to
keep it that way.
At least Ireland is a country we could consider moving to.

Sorry, but not according to one of the largest financial insitutions in this country.
They totally disagree with what you say. I have talked to them in depth
I wish the majority of sheeple in this country would wake up and
see the reality, but they won't until it's too late.
Which nationals do not send work out of the country?
Which nationals do not send work out of the country? I need to find another job.
TIA.
The wealthy elite are running this country.
And they would prefer that your money be in THEIR pocket. They will share as much as they have to and no more.
Gorgeous horse country right outside of Philly!
Google areas near New Bolton Medical Center in Pennsy. If country is up your alley, there are lots of great towns. If you like cities, then Philly is for you! Go EAGLES!! 
Doesn't matter what their country of origin is, - sm
if they are now Americans and working in the U.S. If that is the case, they ARE American transcribers! But even though our compnies that hire them are paying U.S. taxes (though probably less than they should, becuse of loopholes), are offshore employees paying U.S. Social Security and other taxes out of their wages? NO. So it undermines our economy in that way, as well.
Keystrokes is and will not send work out of the country. sm
The owners feel strongly about that.
No I didnt see that, is there anything this country values anymore SM
and is willing to pay other than tech stuff? I know my son went to college for graphic design and he doesnt make much.
People are turned down for surgery in this country
If you have other illnesses, possibility of getting turned down exists. Say kidney transplant. You have to be in basically good shape except for the kidney problem or else you might not be put on the waiting list.
