Well, I am soooo happy to see that I am not the
thought, huh???????? I'm the one who responded about getting an 86 on it. I really felt badly about the whole thing, especially since it was the VERY FIRST MT test I took straight out of school. But now I see others think it's ridiculous as well. You should have seen their snotty email to me. We require a minimum of 3 years current hospital MT experience for consideration of an at-home position. Thank you for your interest. That's it, nothing else. Why in the heck didn't they just say that to begin with? I never would have bothered taking the darn thing! Plus, there are those out there with 20 years of experience who can't pass that rotten test. Then, too, there are companies who don't even respond at all. So I guess I should consider myself lucky that Mr. Snot responded at all. 
Me too! Love my job soooo much! nm

Well if it was soooo horrible...
Why didn't they say that?? I only received three or four corrections on it and this was on an ESL speaking doctor, so for a first-time run at it I don't see that as horrible. I type for a large 300-bed acute care hospital and also do IC work for a brain and spine trauma center and my QA is 98%++. As far as this being a test, this was an actual report that was pulled off the system to type. This was not something dictated from a year ago, it was just dictated. When I applied to them there was no testing, no phone interviews or anything. Basically, I received an email stating they could use me on this account and then I was set up. From where I come from you train your people so that there is no confusion on how a typed report should look since essentially they are a legal document and everything needs to be in order. You can say all you want, but I think this company lacks PR and to me that is as important as how much a company will pay. I'll just keep my own accounts and be happy. I don't have any complaints from them, only happy referrals to other offices.
I am soooo the opposite
If I were making this posting, I would be asking if anybody knew who made a 'clicky' keyboard, because to my ear, they're all too quiet. I need to be able to 'hear' what my fingers are doing, which may make sense to some of the people on here. I don't know if it's some kind of subconscious thing or what, like instantaneous letter counting or something, but I can almost 'hear' a typo and God only knows what I would be typing if I didn't get that immediate feedback. I just turn up my volume and, if it's really tough, type really gently through the bad section (and hopefully it's just a sentence or so).

But in answer to your question, it seems to me that a lot of the black Microsoft keyboards are pretty darn quiet, both the straight and ergonomic ones.
well said and soooo true NM

soooo true....
As if our pay isn't low enough. Cut me a break! If we don't smarten up and start saying no to these low-paying jobs, it will never end; it will just keep getting worse and worse.
Soooo many people have left!
I know that at least 20 or so people quit around the same time I did! Even though it is super annoying, it is sometimes funny to read their e-mails when they are panicking because they don't have enough people.
I soooo feel your pain!
and it makes me angry too. I have done this since 1980 and never had a raise. As a matter of fact, I used to make more!! Everybody wants to do medical transcription and I get asked about it all the time. I tell them NOOOOOO, you do NOT want to do this. The ads out there make it sound like you can make so much money, and while as a good Transcriptionist you CAN make better than average money, it never goes past that point. Working at home is not all it is cracked up to be. I only did it because I wanted to be home with my kids. Now I am sorry to be stuck in this rut.
She is soooo anal....find something better..nm

Linda, you are soooo right, when I was younger and dumber....sm
 I was sooo afraid of using shortcuts, I watched the screen like a hawk and typed everything verbatim and screwed myself out of so much money! I wondered what the secret was to all those MTs who would chat up a storm, and till make a higher line count than me, and they had less experience....They used their shortcuts/expanders for everything, and once I learned this and worked on mine, my line count zoomed and I consistently made high incentive pay and bonus....don't underestimate this tool. Thanks for bringing this up, Linda! 
Soooo nice. This is the place I will retire from. nm
Soooo...if those WITH lots of experience are being offered

These smileys crack me up! They are soooo funny! nm

soooo, you are posting anonymous posts to your own
posts now??? How childish. Besides that, I did not see any copyright mark on the eye rolling thing, and I was not responding to YOU, but to someone else. I thought you were *bored* and had moved on. Apparently not because you always have to have the last word about anything. I guess that makes you feel that your are always right, as well as a people abuser. LOL.
If you are serious about the belittle part, report it. My mentor was soooo nice. (sm)
Report feedback very prompt and helpful, not demeaning in any way. Did the required number of reports to be monitored, got above the 98% and then received congratulation E-mails for doing so from my mentor and STM.
Good manners and friendly attitude are a BIG part of the company. If this person was truly rude or unhelpful, please let HR and/or your assigned STM know.
Ditto that! Psych is soooo boring. Feel bad for people and their many problems, but not
