I would love to hear about it!  I have 15 years experience, 14 of that acute care, need employee status with benefits.  I'm with the BIG transcription company now that is steadily taking away everything good about being an at-home transcriptionist   :(  Have been there 12 years. 

Any suggestions?  It's sure confusing going through all of these different companies, trying to figure out pros and cons. 

Thanks, I would love to hear from anyone who works for a great company! 

So now you are wishing your bad luck on me!  Well that's the way to be; you all are no different than me.  Furthermore, no one likes to hear the truth.  The truth is that MDI looked out for their business, which is what you would have done as well.  Everyone need look out for themselves. 

I'm just telling it like it is and the reality of it all.  If or when it does happen to me and yes it has happened to me, I pick up and move on.  I would never sit around and wait for work to come to me. 

Do y'all have no sense at all? 

P/S:  Companies start at 9.  You have to look for them though.  Transcend pays 9 to start, so what's your beef?

5 year olds learning to play soccer?  The ball is in play and no matter what the coahes say ALL the kids go running for the ball.  Maybe we are like that, masses of us going from company to company in search of work.  This company has a new account BOOM here we go.  Now it is out.  Let's go here. 

Yep, I think it is a big game someone is playing with us.  Not a particularly funny one either. 

I will share this about the MTSO I work for.  I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week.  Would she be able to cover my work.  She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip. 

And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for.  To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.

actually fairly good dictators, a couple of toughies, but no more than one would expect.  When I do the late afternoon/early evening shift it is like night and day.  I get some really crummy dictators and tons of problem/miscoded reports.  

They have said that there is no cherry picking able to be done with this program so I just have to wonder if the crappy dictators can't get to the dictate stations until after 4 p.m. or what?

Nuff said, back to work.  Thanks for letting me air it out.

I work a second/third shift position and I still run out of work.  I asked for a secondary account probably 6 weeks ago and haven't received one yet.

You can call the MTSO or your supervisior, but they really don't care, the work is getting done and that is all that really matters. 

so let's get together and share info!  Email me if you want to be part of a mailing list.  Please indicate your account(s).

I refuse to rent/buy their equipment to work for them.  That's ridiculous. Good luck getting your deposit back - they usually find some excuse not to return the money to you.

sent a mailnote to their transcriptionists stating that the office will be closed Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Friday, although there may be some overflow of work.  Any help would be appreciated!  They didn't even say Happy Thanksgiving.  - Talk to the butt!!

she is not likely, as a brand new employee, to get either holiday off.  The newest work the holidays, and that is a fact.  Other, longtime employees, have asked months in advance if they want the days of.  As a new employee, she will not have that option.

And, no, people who transcribe from home are nothing like the rest of the healthcare industry, not in any way.  We are scheduled 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, holidays included.  Some companies pay more for that, and some do not, but it is still expect.  It is not considered sacred, not in any way.  The work has to be covered.  We all have families.  We all work around our family obligations and celebrations.  If you work somewhere that is not like that, please, tell us where.

like those pens and still use them.  When I write checks, which rarely happens since I got a debit card, people always comment on my pen.
