To be a good RN-you have to love the work. sm

In Reply to: RN versus MT, which would involve the most money to be made. I am not sure if I want to go into RN - Angela Rae
I spent 13 years in the hospital in varying departments, 10 of them as a nurse aide. You can tell which nurses go into it for the money. They don't like to work afternoons, weekends or holidays. They get upset when they get blood or human waste on their uniforms. They can be very rude with the patients. I worked with lots of nurses and my point is, it takes a special nurse to work with sick people 5 days a week and many times over 8 a day. It's not for everybody. If you want to get a feel for nursing, become a CNA first. You can deal with very sick, very contagious patients. You can deal with very nice and also very cantakerous doctors. It's physically demanding, hard on the back, etc. The world needs more kind, caring, patient nurses, not nurses who just love the money earned and yes, it is good. If you love people, take pride in your work and truly don't mind all else that goes along with it-good and bad-then go for RN. But don't just do it for the money. I wanted to be an RN because I loved being a CNA but couldn't continue due to health reasons. I love being an MT because I still am exposed to the medical field, only now I am in the background instead of the front of the field.

I work there and love it. Good pay and always on time.
I don't take the health insurance, so can't speak about that. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
and only employee positions...
GOOD MOVE!!! You'll love it!!
Keep in touch when you get on board!!

Ha, ha. I love it. Troll alert! Good one. nm

I love QA, but I'd only do it for a good hourly wage that
nm
I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM
I do believe it has to do with the accounts though. I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing. VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill. Learn the shortcuts and use them. It is also only as good as the team training the VR.
On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC. A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account.
I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR.
I love the K. Long reports, good lines.

I make good money with them and love working there. sm
Here is why: I have one account with a backup account that I have only used twice and both times because they needed help not because my primary was slow. I do 1600+ lines in 8 hours. I started at 8 cpl and was raised to 9 cpl at 90 days. I have as much work as I want and while my PTO days are less than the last place I was for 8 years, I make more during the year. I literally made $17K more with KS last year than I did with MQ the year before. I am higher this year.
I love Chartscript. The account I am on is wonderful and yes, I use ShortHand with it.
Good to me? I made $61K last year with them and so far this year, I am at $56K, so I will pass that for sure.
No to paid holidays but if you work them, it is time and a half.
If my account needs extra help, they offer time and a half for weekends.
I would rather work for less per line and be able to do more lines than make more per line but struggle to get 1000 lines in a day.
There are nay-sayers for KS. They are strict on quality and expect everyone to work their schedule. Not all accounts are great, but that's anywhere. The only people I know who left were either let go for either quality or not working their shift or they quit because their lead was about to fire them.
Good luck to you in your new posiiton -- I'm sure you'll love MDI. :-) nm
I totally disagree, love VR and can make good money at it
I have been doing now for about 4-5 years and hate it when I have anything straight to type. I have done this for over 30 years, have excellent speed at straight but Escription is a bowl of cherries where I work. I would never want to completely straight type again, never.
That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home. Still, business is business. I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it. I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then.
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account. It has it all. But they use MedRite. This is awful! Was this actually designed for an MT? This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep. Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief! Is there anyone who has used this? Are there any tips you could give me?
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Spheris has work and they would love to have you work

I would love to work for DRC (sm)
but their family insurance coverage is over $900 per month! I can't afford to pay half of my salary for insurance. I wish they had a cheaper insurance plan.
I LOVE it this way! I get my work at 6 am and have
until 6 am the next day to return it completed. I love it! It's the greatest thing in the world. Some days, I type all morning and I'm done by noon, some days I have things to do so I type in the evening - works out great, AND, I get paid much higher doing it this way!
I work for them...love it!

I work for DSG..love it there.
I'm not an editor, but the staff, editors and MTs are great to work with. I am happy there.

I work there and love it
I have been an SPI/CyMed employee for a year now and I love it there. The platform that they use is called Chartnet and it is sooooo easy to use. I have a great account that I have been on for the entire year that I have been there and I love it. I make excellent money there. My manager is very friendly and helpful. They do also have benefits, but I don't know too much about them since I have never needed to get them.
I work for them and love them.
Great place to work.
love VR work
Try Precyse Solutions. I work for them and do VR and absolutely love it. Have done it for quite awhile and feel I am more productive than straight typing. Also gives hands a break. Their platform rm is wonderful as well. Good luck!
I work for WMX, love it ...
Granted, I've only been there for a few weeks, but so far I love it. The people are absolutely great, the platform is easy, and I really like the 12-hour window to get my work done in. My primary is 30-50% ESL, but I'm finding out that it's actually much less than that, unless I'm really getting lucky, which is always a possibility. It seems like overall it would balance out, though, to get my fair share of it. I don't have any complaints at all about WMX. Love their incentive tier platform, also. You get paid incentive on ALL work done, not just work done ABOVE the incentive base.
I would LOVE to work at FN!
I am from South Carolina and know the new account they are obtaining very well. I have called, tested (they emailed me back and said I passed) and emailed and have not heard anything. This would be a dream account for me as I have worked for many of the doctors on this account in the past. Any advice?
would love to go to work..sm
I would love to go to work for this company. I put in my resume, but haven't heard anything. Do you know how long it takes for them to respond?
I love where I work.
Medium size I guess, lots of work, pay on time, flexible hours. Love it!
I work for TRS and I love it.
I've been there 5 months now, and the only way I could be happier is if my old boss hadn't shut down his practice so that I had to find a new job....
After all the horror stories I've read here and elsewhere about other companies (some of which also offered me jobs) I consider myself very, very lucky in my choice of jobs. They've kept every single promise they made when they recruited me, and the only times we've run out of work have been on major holidays.
E-mail me at crankybeach at yahoo dot com if you have specific questions, or want to know more. :)
I work there, love it
I do work on VR but working only parttime do at least $500 per week. I have never had an email asking about where I was in the years I have been there. Maybe you have a problem with not showing up to work? I love the lack of communication, no one breathes down your neck there.
I work for TTS and love it
Anytime someone wants to know about TTS it always seem to garner the same information. Some love, others hate. I do VR and my platform is extremely good. I get paid on time, hardly any feedback. I have worked there about 2 and a half years and very satisfied.
I don't work for WMX, but also love sm
to do ops. My experience, and I hope this is wrong in your case, is, one has to work their way up in order to get lots of ops.
I would put the word out you enjoy them and are very experienced. Many MTs don't like doing them, although I cannot figure out why.
Anyway, good luck to you.
I work there and LOVE it. sm
Pay is on time, doctors for the most part are great, accounts are super picky, QA are wonderful. I highly recommend them!
What I love is someone who is out of this work now
and yet finds the time to educate others on what they should and should not do. I also really like when people can run either hot or cold, 1 day 1 way, the next day the next. I think if I had any legal action facing me I probably would think more about that than telling others what to do.
I work for AllType and love it! nm

Thank you! I will take the work. I love Transcend!

love ortho work
Me too! I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I'd love to work for OSI in management
LOL
I work for CorT and love it!
Have been working with them for about 6 months now. There have also been good posts about this company. It's amazing how people forget the good. They are great people to work for. They have had problems in the past with pay, but that has been resolved. I've had no pay problems since then. They have consistent work. The owners actually care about the people that work for them. I will not be looking elsewhere for a place to work!
I work for GIMT and LOVE it....
Still a small company, but really NICE people, empl status, almost all clinic work, good pay, flexible hours. The only downside is no benefits yet, so need your own insurance. I will never move again; would have to get fired first.
I love MT work... I get up in the morning
put on a blonde wig and a tight dress, look like Anna Nicole Smith and type all day long. And I'm not even a woman!
Same thing where I work and I love it
especially when it is a difficult dictator or a really fast talker. If I can't understand him/her I will pull up past reports by him/her and look for the same type of report. Helps out big time!!
I currently work for them, and absolutely love them!
Pay is direct deposit and always on time. The account I'm on is relatively easy, although there are a few ESLs. I've been there 6 months now, and am very happy.
I work for two companies and love them both
StenoMed and Executive Transcription Solutions.
I do not work in the office but I love my job. I have never sm
had broken promises, have a lot of work (1500+ lines every day), get paid on time AND I have spoken to the owner, who has always been very nice to me. I do not talk to her often, only if she happens to answer the phone when I call, and I have never talked to her about an account. I would go through HR or my lead if I were to need more work, which is what you are supposed to do.
I have a friend who also worked at Keystrokes but it did not work out for her ONLY because she thought she was special, tried 4 or 5 different accounts, refused to deal with anyone except the owner who repeatedly told her to talk to HR, complained about everything. She finally went to another company when her lead expressed concern about her quality.
Guess what? You might not be surprised that she has been to 4 other companies since that happened a year ago and has the same supposed complaints about every company out there.
Maybe you thought you were special and went over everyone's heads. Why would you bother the owner of a company? It sounds like you were offered many accounts but didn't like any of them from your post. Perhaps the problem is with YOU. But of course not.
I too work for Medware and LOVE it...
They were a very good change for me also. The benefits are good. My team leaders are GREAT. I could NOT have picked a better place to work. They DEFINITELY are a GREAT company to work for, and I too have been VERY happy there!
