Traveling Transcriptionists?

Thought this sounded interesting to somebody.  A place called KForce evidently has job openings for transcriptionists.  Hope the link works:

Interested in information regarding taking your job on the road with you.  Anyone with experience in this?  Hubby wants to retire next year, buy an RV, and hit the open road.  Can this be done?  I work for one of the nationals, and I'd like to get my ducks in a row before I start packing my bags!

VEGAS, BABY !!

Anyone familiar with this new company?  They have ad posted today.  It sounds enteresting and I am enticed by the idea of a change in the new year!

What companies hire for traveling medical transciptionist?  I am interested in a position like this.  If any information, please advise.

I see where the position was filled, but I cannot find the original posting for it, and I would be interested in at least sending a resume for future travel assignments.  Does anyone happen to remember it or who it was for??

To the Administrator:

Since MQrs are practically occupying the whole main board,  and it seems this company has the most transcriptionists in the MT business, may I suggest that an MQrs Board be set up for MQ so as not to waste the time of MTs who would like to be informed of other matters on said board.

We, who are not MQrs would like to know more of other MTs' problems with other companies and not only with MQ.

Thanks,

so ignorant. They don't read anything other than MT stars. They constantly bitch and moan about MT companies that offshore but they're typing on a computer that was made by someone in a foreign country...they have a ragedy imported vehicle sitting in the driveway......they have a Japanese vacuum cleaner, etc...  Yet you come to this board and state how dirty and poor these people are.

Intelligence says a whole lot about a person no matter what part of the globe they live in. All of the offshore MT's who work for the company I QA for are college educated (4 year degrees). They may be poor but they are doing everyting they can to make a better life for themselves. They are not lazy. They don't call in sick every other Friday. They are dependable. They are loyal to their employer.  They would NEVER come to MTstars or any other forum and berate and belittle their employer like many of you do. Most of you people don't know what the word loyalty means.

Offshoring is nothing new. It has been done for years and will continue to be done. Nearly everytime you purchase an electronic item you are supporting offshoring.  You're just too stupid to realize it. You are no different than the MTSO's who offshore. The MTSO's who offshore are looking for the same thing you are when you buy an import-QUALITY. 

I use a steno machine to transcribe with and was wondering if any of you do too.

I'm getting ready to start with Medquist and wondering if there are any tips for me.

thanks

a limited number of doctors to learn in the areas they were hired for?  NOOOO....gotta know 15 doctors.  Then you folks want us to fill in on an emergency in a field never tried before by the transcriptionist...the Transcriptionist tells you she's never done that but you say....ahhh...you won't have any trouble...please???  She says yes and tortures along trying to figure it out for pennies on the dollar.  Two days later she is still struggling along, has told you several times, but you say you're doing great...Two days later you send her an e-mail saying that if her work doesn't improve you'll have to dock her pay.   Stick it man.

Lets see....doctors specialize but we who make peanuts have to be able to transcribe ALL specialties or are punished.  Wake up.

Can anyone give me any information about WedMedX.  Is this a good company?

I hear they pretty much watch your every move, when you are punching in, when your away, when you punch out, etc.  Is this true?  Do they have a lot of ESL?  Any info would be helpful.  Thanks.

I started working at TT almost 2 months ago and was told they were inundated with work, but after working for about 2-3 weeks, the work has steadily dwindled.  I am scheduled to work the weekend but there is never enough work to get my hours on Sunday.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Also it seems to me that I don't get the line count there like I have with my other jobs.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Would like to hear what you think of the account and the company.  Thanks for any info.

First off, yes I mean Medquest and not Medquist. 

To any Transcriptionist still working for Medquest Associates based out of GA,

If you are not in any of their transcription pools that they have set-up, then sorry to say you will be losing your jobs.  As they put it, they want typist that work for 9 or 10 cents a line and are going for a more cost effective approach....... whatever.

Since there is currently no standard of pay across company borders, is anyone who has recently started with one of the major companies willing to say what rate of pay you were hired at? I have been working for the same company for more than 10 years, but I have no way of knowing if my pay rate is competitive or not - and I have nothing to back up a request for a raise by saying that other companies would pay me more if I were to move on.

Since this board is anonymous, would you be willing to give your rate of pay that you were hired at, assuming that you had at least 10 years or more experience in acute care? I don't care what company you work for - just whether it is a national or a small, privately owned company and how much experience you were hired with. 

Just a question - if you don't like the question, don't respond.

I liked to find a company that has a great ortho account and needs help whether it be FT or PT, IC or employee, but it seems hard to find anyone that has any good ortho accounts.

I have been trying to respond to people from south Florida who applied with Sage Street Staffing for traveling transcription. 

The emails are kicking back as undeliverable.  I have tried from multiple email addresses, and they are all kicking back as undeliverable.

If you sent a resume from the email address ************, please send an alternate email address so that I may respond.

thank you

I have read so many wonderful things about this company, but no one seems to talk about cpl.  I know what they offered me is about average for nationals, but I also was told they do not give raises.  Is this really true.  Does that mean if you are an excellent transcriptionist, and more reliable than normal, they would never give you a raise?  That doesn't sound good to me.  Would anyone care to say if they have gotten a raise while working there.

Your help is much appreciated.
