Winnie you're a great trainer
You're at Medware right? A lot of former OSI'ers have gone to Medware.
Again, that's what we're told s/m
So that's what we're suppose to believe. Perhaps MTs in 2008 might have a better work ethnic if they were assured of having work to do. How many posts have I read where people were complaining that there was no work. So they are suppose to sit and stare at the computer waiting and hoping a job will pop up so they can make a paycheck? AND be thankful that they are thrown a crumb now and then. This is not a reflection on any company but that seems to be the biggest complaint by MTs with all companies. Not surprising to me that MTs these days have a poor work ethnic.
It is a big deal when you're not told before
they offer you the position and you accept. Just wanted to give someone a bit of advice who felt, as I do, $189 is a lot to cough up before you've even started your job. Plus the principle of the thing.
Hope they're already told the employees at the hospital that they are out of a job. I don't t
they should post specifics like this.
mt trainer
that's the point. no one got it. they ended up saying that the owner was too busy to do any hiring. I interviewed for it too. 2 weeks of my time for nothing.
What trainer?
Initials
Well of course the trainer is going to say
she loves Meditech, then if there is an issue it becomes your problem.
I do wish you well, but Meditech just doesn't get any better.
Well you said up above it was regarding the trainer position
and they wasted your time. Now you have a problem with the way the owner conducted the interviews? I work for this company so I don't like to see the owner knocked down.
My trainer is not so good.
I love the company, but I am not very impressed with my trainer.
Shannon T. is the trainer there
who trained me and another MT. Neither one of us worked there long; we had the same supervisor, GH. If you go with Milner and have Shannon as your supervisor, you might like working there. Shannon seemed like she'd be a good supervisor. She certainly was an excellent trainer.
Nah, the newbie had the best trainer...
including asking to work OT without recording...I have already seen it. She is definitely a keeper! Only those who refuse to do so are fired or made to be miserable so they leave on their own.
did anyone have to call MDI-MD trainer for their
Bayscribe training? They said if I didn't hear from them by 15 minutes after my scheduled time to call them. Its looking like I am going to have to call in about 5 minutes. Just wondered if this is common?
Is there anyone who works as a trainer? sm
I have been working as a trainer for well over a year. I have many, many years experience in MT and QA. I am trying to get information on what the average pay is for a trainer. Thanks for any info!
The trainer didn't email you?
My trainer sent me an email letting me know that my computer would be arriving and to confirm when my training would start.
In the email, she gave me my user ID and password to log onto the computer. This is so I could set it up and make sure the internet was working properly before calling the specified number.
Maybe they don't do that with everyone? I don't know.
I am interviewing for a trainer position. What would
you ask for per hour? I will be training all new employees on the software that the company uses. Thanks for any input. Yes, by the way, I have been with this company for several years but not sure what to ask for in this position. Thanks!!!
I have been contacted by a trainer in the US already. Still unsure about this.
They said they would overnight the pedal. Still unsure if I should change jobs. Yikes! If anybody could suggest a safer bet that would be appreciated too. Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, it seems to be rather slow. The trainer said she loved it, though, sm
so I will hang there awhile longer. Perhaps I just do not know all of the tricks. I was told to wait 3 months before asking for any changes, so I don't want to rock the boat right off the bat. So far, everyone has been really great to me.
Thanks for your input -- glad to know I'm not the only one who is not fond of the platform.
CMT trainer for MT course on job seeker's board?
Now they want us to give out trade secrets to our international labor partners, aka Asian MTs? That's like training your successor before you know you are being fired. The indignities of this profession are piling up....
How is the trainer, team leader or regional mgr
They've already said that it could be months, maybe even into next year, before all the problems can be fixed. Why would the team leaders or trainers have answers that the technical team doesn't even have, and if they do, why haven't they fixed it for everyone??
I'm doing okay at MW after 2 months. Didn't have the trainer screw-up that you had. TL and QA

They usually give you an appointment with your trainer once your stuff has arrived. nm

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

How can you KNOW what you're doing without THINKING you know what you're doing?

they're desperate because they're sm
driving away all their employees with the horrible new changes they're implementing. It's a mass exodus, and they couldn't keep up with their work load before all the departures.
We're glad you're gone too.
The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.
Well, i hate to tell ya, but if you're an IC, you're

You are right, I told ek to do like ET...
Have they told you that you are going to
be a MEDICAL EDITOR? It's semantics, like the "MLS" title for a transcriptionist. Sounds really impressive to be called a "medical language specialist," but...HELLO...you're a TRANSCRIPTIONIST.
You are going to be nothing more than a custodian, cleaning up the junk that the "hookt on fonix" MACHINE REPLACING YOU has generated and for less money. If the dictators are half decent, you might be able to fly through a report in minimal time, but if you have to sift through the GARBAGE, only to wind up transcribing most of the job yourself, you are definitely going to lose money.
Do you eat only what you are told? If not, try them...

Told me the same
Same bull came from Jennifer week to week.
THANK YOU! I'm usually told how I should RUN
and all kinds of upset stuff.
Thank you! I hope to someday!!!
What I was told
Here is what I was told when
I switched to DQS from Medrite.........
You actually were getting "free lines" on Medrite with the information that populated onto the (TES screen) actual report, for example, patient name, account#, MR#, dictators name, signing physician, address, etc. This accounted for about 6-8 lines per report. Needless to say, and I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE, a doctor could just hang up on that report and NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD and I would get paid those "free lines" because it was information that populated on the report.
With that being said, if you were typing 8-10 reports an hour, then multiply that by 6-8 for your "free lines" PER REPORT that would account for anywhere from 48 lines to 80 lines AN HOUR! Now, take that 48 to 80 lines per hour and multiply that by how many hours you work in a day. This is why and how you will see a decrease in your lines!
The problem is, is that with DQS, you ARE NOT PAID for the patient's name, account #, MR #, physician name, and so on. I believe this is where the misconception of DQS being a horrible platform and/or MQ screwing their MTs started.
All in all, I am able to type the same amount I was in Medrite per hour. The more you add to your word Expander and familiarize yourself with the platform, the better you will be.
Within a few weeks you will get used to it. I average 300 lines an hour and like DQS very much.
no but I was told that
people who were making a certain rate before DEP training were cut before the training. I heard this second hand from a girl in my class.
That's not what I was told when..sm
I went to work for them. You must be management.
They should not have told you that. sm
There are very few people in this industry that make that much money, especially working for national companies. Do you use a word Expander and do you use it at its fullest potential? The most I ever made was 52K working for a hospital making 10cpl per 57 character line. One other thing you might consider is trying to get your own accounts. Where you may now make 7-10 cpl working with a national, you can make 15-17 cpl with your own account, provided you can handle the workload. Unfortunately, they sometimes fail to tell you that in school. Good luck!
No. Not that they told me. SM
They just told me about the training that I would be going through and kind of just sketched through it. It seemed like they offered okay benefits, but the pay seemed fair. I was just seeing if anyone actually took this position and could tell me more about it. Radiology would be nice too.
