M-Tec or Andrews. nm
Actually, Andrews is considered one of the best
Definitely in the top two. Their graduates are very highly sought after. If they charge more, it's because they are very well worth it. If you do a search for Andrews School, you will see this is true. They are definitely not one of the rip-off schools out there.
Andrews graduate..........sm
I really don't know about the pathology or radiology part of your question, but what I do know that Andrews school is fantastic. I have never heard of a company who knew about Andrews grads and didn't want to hire them. I had a job before I graduated. I have kept it for over 5 years and recently decided to change jobs. I had 4 offers immediately. I assume you talked to Linda. When I have talked to her on the phone she has been a delight. Yes, the school is a bit on the expensive side but she has to pay her instructors who are fantastic and spend a great deal of time with the students. The cost also comes with a full library of books. You won't need to purchase anything when you graduate except possibly a foot pedal and maybe software.
As an Andrews grad, I highly
I felt well-prepared when I got my job and never regretted having paid top dollar for my training; as with many things, you truly get what you pay for. In fact, many of the national companies prefer Andrews grads or M-Tec grads as the previous poster mentioned and as a newbie you will need every advantage. Good luck to you.
So what if you are an Andrews graduate, big deal
I just read a post on this board about an Andrews grad who quit Diskriter. I am sick and tired of Andrew graduates who think they are better than the rest of us newbies. They get better jobs and more opportunites. The rest of us newbies get penalized. I was fired from Spheris ( mentor program) because I could not met the line count. There was an Andrews grad in the mentor program also. She bragged about her great QA scores and how she was leaving Spheris because of the low pay and because she could. The rest of us could not leave because we were not chosen from Andrews. Big darn deal if you are an Andrew's grad. It only means you paid more and people think you are better. Andrew graduates are full of them selves and arrogant.
There are better MT education programs out there (M-Tec and Andrews) but
CS does have segment of their program that Spheris is involved with. However, my understanding is starting pay for newbies at Spheris is low, even by today's standards.
My suggestion would be to check out other schooling options and other companies to work for before taking the leap. Do some searching of the archives here for more info both on schools and employers. (Also, you should be aware that CS has an affiliate program where people make money by getting others to sign up for their course so you may want to take any rave reviews with a grain of salt.)
M-TEC and Andrews produce MTs that are the cream of the crop.
M-TEC's course usually takes anywhere from 9-18 months to complete. I'm not sure about Andrews.
I have hired MTs from both those schools as well as other lesser-known schools, and the M-TEC and Andrews grads are the only ones that were worth keeping onboard.

Andrews School....radiology & pathology
I called Andrews School today just to see what they had to offer. The person I talked to said that radiology is like pathology and is typically done in-house. She also stated that in about ten years that radiology AND pathology will be eliminated departments in most hospitals if not all. What struck me though was her surprise when I told her that radiology is done by many at-home medical transcriptionists. I beg to differ with this lady because on the MTJobs.com board, I always see companies looking for at-home radiology medical transcriptionists, and quite frequently mind you. I would like some feedback about this please. Is this lady talking out of her ear (and I think she is.) Do you think radiology AND pathology will be eliminated as departments in the future? Is your opinion that radiology is frequently done by at-home medical transcriptionists? And what is everybody's opinion of Andrews School? Personally I think they are incredibly expensive. She quoted me 3800 bucks for the course with a minimum deposit of 1000 dollars. And she didn't seem too worried about quality but rather my typing speed and how quick I could get through the course. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Anon. IF you do not know what an Andrews grad is then you don't know this business
Andrews school produces only the best baby!!!!!!!No exaggeration here. Ask anybody on this board about Andrew graduates. We produce like pros, which I am.
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!
nm
typo, I type 1,200 a day or more. Yes I really do. Andrews grad. HOORAY!!!!
nm
As a recruiter, I'd hire an Andrews grad in a New York minute. You're doing a great job of se
They are properly trained. They are ready and able to work from day #1.
Wouldn't YOU like to have training that made you a hot commodity the minute you graduate? Maybe you should go back to school so you can be an arrogant MT and not be penalized because you aren't cutting it.
As a famous model once said Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Well if you don't want it, send it to me! Better than nothing. nm
I would send a
certified letter, the kind that they have to sign for from the post office. Just to cyb ;-)
I can't say how much they send
to India, but they did state they are sending some there, they never said how much and that it was a pilot program. They do use a lot of VR now. I did not like their program and left recently.
Can you send me one too? I am considering going with them. nm
thank you
When did you send it? nm
nm
If you don't want it, send it to me.

Why don't they send us some of
the scores of gifts that they receive in the office? We are the ones that make their money for them. I don't think it is greedy at all. It is common courtesy, something that today's MTSO's trample on. I get Xmas cards. My kids open it for me, and then they make a joke of standing there with the card shaking it to try to get money or a gift card to fall out. LOLOL
need you to send to another ID sm
hey Nola, I figured out why I did not get it. Send to ccba81499@yahoo.com thanks!!!
I am sure they will send something
They always do, just not necessarily on the exact day it may be expected. But I do have to agree, enough work would be the best thing ever!!!
Dang. Tried again and still will not send
Sorry!! Try MTspot. I am there a lot, too
How long does it take MQ to send sm
the equipment after you are hired and filled out the paperwork?
I send many of my things to QA
I did not mean to sound like I just ignore verbatim altogether. I just do not leave in the ridiculously obviously wrong things that is all. I do not change the text or change words around. I guess you missed my point. Yes every account is different and there are specifics I know. The doctor I was referring to about the #ing just does not know how to count; not a system like you are talking about. So never mind.
Did you have to send them back
Just asking.
I don't want to send them a resume either
At one time, some companies put out ads by recruiter and anonymous names just to see who would apply. Those who applied and were working for this big company were immediately fired just for applying. Watch your back!
Did not send resume, but.....sm
I did write a very polite email stating that I was not comfortable revealing my personal information to an unknown company. I included my basic credentials and asked if they wanted my resume to please email me regarding their company information. I doubt if they'll bother, but I've made it a policy to never submit my confidential information to any company who is not willing to reveal their name.
This is exactly why I know longer send anything. nm
nm
Did they ask you to send them your resume?
I took the test today with a 96%, and immediately was asked to e-mail my resume.
send me an email
I may know of a place for you
They do not have to send you a 1099 for what they did NOT pay you, However,
you still need to claim what you received regardless if they send you a 1099 or not and pay your taxes accordingly. I would report them to the IRS in either case, because I am sure you have tried to receive your past compensation without much success.
Send an email and ask
someone in the office who does the time sheets.
only 6? i had a company send 14 !!! nm
xx
why do they ask IF we want them to send WAV player
nm
So send an e-mail saying you are going
to ER, and get a note while you are there. The problem is that this will put you out of work a while if it is broken, but there is no sense lying about it since you do need the wrist to heal.
Or else the note will explain there is no fracture or sprain and you are okay to work in __ days.
I always send an email sm
and ask all those questions before testing. If they don't want to give me that info before hand, they aren't worth it.
Please. Yep, they picked 1 MT to send it to.
I think there are 2? send them email and ask
.Just put you message in the portion where is says Apply Now (or did you see info elsewhere?
Send the resume!
They are an honest company and have proven that time and time again. When something comes up that is a concern, they always fix it. They will not jerk you around and they certainly do not play games. They have recently grown quite rapidly and honestly I don't think they realized this was a great concern until now. They are focused on keeping both the client and the MTs happy, rare in this business. There are one or two MTs here that are out to destroy their reputation as a great company and I suppose these few will come back at my posting in their typical childish manner, but disregard them. Send the resume, you won't regret it.
Well, maybe they don't want US applicants to send pic?
Thanks for clarifying. I looked and to be honest, thought you had put the synthescribeofamerica.com link. i'm just crazy, lol.
Thanks again.
I'm so sorry. I send hugs to you. Sure

Do you know of one who will send me a tape?
xx
It's always best to just send an email and let them know - regardless what day.
nm
Why don't you just send this post to TT and sm
see what their response is? Geez, do you really think you will get any results by posting on this board? Probably not. I have work but I work across all worktypes on 3 different accounts and flex my time if needed. Doesn't matter to me what I type as long as I have work. Ask for another account and/or more worktypes. It may help.
Be careful who you send your
resume to. Now the troll has all your information. I do NOT send mine until I have a firm offer and have basically been hired and after I have checked THEM out. I have not had to do this for five years, but still I knew that it is not good to give yourself away like that. I wonder what they are going to do with those resumes? Maybe those who supplied resumes should find out exactly who this is in case of identity theft?
Do they ACTUALLY still send that stuff out ? sm
My goodness, I had a total of 9 full binders that I sent back when I quit. Two huge boxes with equipment, supplies, paper, binders,a total of over 250 pounds that I sent back. I felt like a big weight was off my shoulders when I left there and had no more QA issues with anyone.
It would be really nice if they would send you...sm
some kind of response. I accepted a job from my second choice employer and then got a call from my first choice employer. Of course having committed to another company, I declined the offer and regretted it later.
Even an automated response that a) we got your resume or b) we're not interested would help a lot. As it is, you just sit in limbo and figure you better take the offer you are getting versus the one you would like to have.
As you said, all you can do is keep a positive attitude and hope the good things you hear are true.
I was going to send an e mail just now
to Becky/Ginny at KS and inquire, but and then I saw your post. It made me smile.
Thanks for the encouragement. But still being slightly chicken :)
on my account, all I have to send in
are my line counts. Each account is figured different, but I was given the address to KS' Intranet site, and go there, key in my line counts, and on the 15th and 30/31st of each month, send it in. Simple. I keep a log of reports, only for my reference...
Did Medware send out their W2s yet? No msg
xx
if they send work to someone who
offshores then quite simply they offshore
