Well I was knocked down from FT to PT
and now expected to work FT status. Don't think so!
Knocked down a peg!--sm
Wow! I sure had the wind knocked out of my sails yesterday! I read an ad that I found intriguing and I was curious that perhaps there was something out there better than what I've had for the last 3 years. So, I applied and tested. When I heard back from this nat'l company, they told me they would be looking at other people. When I inquired as to my lack of qualifications, they stated I needed to work on my typing skills! Okay, I'll admit, I only have 27+ years MT experience in acute care, about 8 months experience as an editor, and a pathetic QA score of 99.2% (All this, but I cannot type worth a darn!!). Yes, I'll admit, I considered myself a 'shoe-in' and am suffering such a blow to my ego that I believe I will just go back to my little corner and be thrilled to death I have a job, slightly low pay but it seems like a million bucks now!
Careflow, web based.

That's what a contact told me about using CareFlow. Don't know about SoftMed or anything else

Cquence
When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in. The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions? Thanks for your reply
Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT . I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program. Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.

Actually I have only done a few ops prior to OSi
I had mostly done MS clinic. I have worked in acute care before, but did everything but an occasional op. I have to say that ops are my favorite by far now. I was terrified to do them, but now I love them! You're right. It is easier to be negative than positive, but at the end of the day, every company has good and bad things. It may take searching, but there is a company out there for everyone I think. In work, as in life, you have to kiss a lot of toads to find a prince.
Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...
TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm
And at first it was just arrghhh! But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good. The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.
For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform. And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind. It is turning out good for me after a few weeks. You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
Cquence platform
Can anyone tell me if the Cquence platform is easy to work with and get lines relatively easy. Thanks
prior response
Sorry. That was addressed to OP and MsAnonnie Mouse.
CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.

you need to really look back to prior postings
This company has been flying all over this board even back in March. I think it goes further than disgruntled employees. Take a look at how their lead people handle these comments. They have badmouthed these employees horribly. Yes, companies will have unhappy employees and there will be some grumbling, but it clearly looks like a much bigger problem with Shapin. A lot of drama for low pay. I would have nothing to do with them and NOT for the grumbling of past employees, but for the obnoxious and crude way Shapin's management individuals conducted themselves!
Work for SPi now, prior CyMed...
and EVERY company has issues, you just have to figure out what issues are deal-breakers for you personally. SPi HAS started switching QAs around to all different accounts, but not sure about the MTs; however, on the few times that these accounts have run short of work for the MTs on them, they've had them actually doing QA! That's ONE position, at least, that you can guarantee you'll move up to if you're competent and want the move.
Their benefits are better and less expensive than CyMeds were, and vacation time is actually a bit better.
There are no yearly or scheduled raises with SPi.
My advice is to ask LOTS of questions BEFORE accepting either job with either company; you should also get EVERYthing in writing, AGAIN, do this BEFORE you accept either position...especially as relate to compensation, benefits, and work hours. :D Best of luck whatever you choose!
I should have been more specific; e-MTS Cquence platform does NOT pay for spaces (sm)
only black characters
Cquence is a Lanier system.It was okay but clumsy.
nm
Any e-MTS MTs out there on Cquence platform that does not pay spaces? have question (sm)
How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?'' How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces. Thanks
Spheris isn't the only company getting prior MQ work....sm
our company has also picked up several million dollars worth of business that MQ used to have because of the clients either having been overbilled by MQ or fears that they would be with all of the legal problems MQ is having. Other current MQ clients are getting bids for when their contracts expire so I expect the MQ "tumble" to continue.
Apparently you missed the prior post.
AcuQuist based it's pay cut on an attempt to bring us in line with an average industry wage, part of their new mediocrity- not just for cheap wine policy. Therefore, being better, faster and more accurate, is not a desirable quality, and therefore we are being penalized for it.
I had knowledge of VR and pay rates prior to this job search.
When I was in school, all we focused on was straight typing and nothing was ever taught about VR - I graduated earlier this year. In my job search I'm really not seeing much about VR. The place I am now has four or five accounts and all of them are straight typing. As for the shortage of work, I am on the largest account in the company and the shortage is felt across the board. Even the supervisors are aplogizing to us for the shortage.
Oh well, for the meantime I will just see what is out there, test and interview if asked to and go on from there. For right now though I have a job at a place I like - it's better than nothing!
MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm

Insist on sample of prior reports, lots of them. Then when you see it, sm
you will say, Oh, so that is what he is saying. Then, put it in your expander. Phrases work the best for me, not normals. Phrases in the Expander for what each item these guys use. But you need to see lots of samples of prior reports.
Prior contact said you work the first 2 wks WITHOUT PAY, and then you're offered a very low

Prior info said they take $300 out of your pay $50 at a time for something, rent or deposit. nm

I left a couple of months for the same thing. The prior
3 months I was lucky to get in 800 lines a day. I had a couple of days where I got maybe 4 reports. I would sit in front of my computer for 12 hours/day, checking every 5 minutes, and still couldn't get my lines with 3 different accounts.
They hire away ahead of time for new accounts and after training they have to do something with them until the account goes live so they put them on other accounts temporarily and then there isn't enough work for the regulars.
When I first started running out of work I watched the backlog report to see where an account might have a big backlog and there were 3 or 4 who were on OT most of the time, but when I asked to be put on one of those accounts I was told no. There were many days that it looked like half the accounts had a 0 backlog. Then they started hiring for 3-day weeks and 4-day weeks so there was no work on weekends to try to make up your lines/hours.
Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
Prior post said it's so-so to use, but only counts the black chars., no spaces. nm

Prior search shows 8.5 cpl for FT benefit position. Do you still make this base pay after 1-1/2
