This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 

That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 

The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!

Is there anybody out there who worked for TransHealth, quit, and then went back?  How did it go?

A whopping 8cpl like everyone else?

Full-time:  work a 40-hour week or average 12,500 lines per pay period.  Part-time:  work <40 hours a week with a minimum of 6,000 lines per pay period.  Pay periods are 1st through the 15th and 16th to the end of the month.  Hope this helps.

I was told they expect 150-175 lines per hour.  Their Policy, Procedures, and Benefits Handbood says 40-hour week OR average 12,500 lines per pay period.  Part-time is a minimum line requirement of 6,000 lines per pay period.  I just started with them and, yes, I have a set schedule, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.

I am wondering why TransHealth is still looking -- are they not  a good company to work for? They have had that posting for editors for quite some time?

In general - wondering - what is average pay for QA/editing positions?

From my experience, TransHealth is a waste of time.  They have absolutely no regard for their applicants.  Let's just say if you are lucky or I should say unlucky, you will hear from them.  First you take a miserable transcription test, then you take a written test, and if you pass both of those, you will be scheduled for a mini-test over the phone.  The test is a definition test.  They ask you words, you need to know the meaning.  They catch you totally off guard.  If you don't do well on the mini-test, it doesn't matter if you passed the two other tests, which means they are more concerned with definitions than your transcription ability.

Their process is very time consuming and in my opinion, not worth the effort especially from a company that is afraid to post their compensation.  So I say thumbs down to Transhealth.  It's a waste of time. 

So here's my question.  How many Radiology people know the definition of abduction versus adduction off the top of their head without looking them up? 

What is the definition without looking it up?

There is a lot in the archives, but I'll share my experience.

I just started working there a couple of weeks ago.  I like it.  I'm struggling because it has been a long time since I've done acute care.  It is hard work, but every day it is getting easier.  I have to look up stuff A LOT!  But that's due to my inexperience.

QA has been very helpful.  Office staff have been very friendly.  The platform that I work on (ChartMatrix) is very easy to learn.  You have to have your own word Expander (I use ShortHand).  They have a built-in Stedman's dictionary in their spell checker.  You have the ability to look up previous reports, which I love and have found very helpful.

They allowed me to pick my own schedule.

Medical benefits start the 1st of the month after you start.  Pay is fair (better than I made at MQ though less than I made with my previous small MTSO).

Any questions in particular?  I'm glad I made the move.  I feel nervous that I'm not up to my line count yet, but I haven't received any negative feedback about that (yet), so I'll just keep pushing myself to improve each payday.

Good luck to you.  I left my e-mail above if you'd like to chat by e-mail.
