Your one clinic does that. It's certainly not the norm by any means.

I think she means clinic work in general.

I guess it is now the norm but it did not used to be the norm.
Two are hospitals, one is a clinic. The biggest one is a clinic that only does sm
oncology. We cannot post account names here and do not give out that information until confidentiality forms are signed.
I can tell you that a very, very large oncology hospital will be starting on March 1st that will need 30+ transcriptionists to run smooth.
how do you know i am not the norm?
Based upon just the posts on MTstars? did you do an independent survey? I gave her my experience, which is for several years with 2 different branches/mgmt of the company. p.s. MQ is the largest MT provider in the WORLD. Do you think the MAJORITY of these MTs are so unhappy? I don't. THAT is why is shared my experience. Sorry if you don't like it.
$1.35 seems the norm. nm
the norm if ..
you refuse better conditions. Since there are companies out there who do pay more for your time and effort I would not say that 1.35 is the norm, I'd say that it is the norm you will settle for. Keep that in mind when you do your collective thinking everyone. Frankly, being paid by the page to do heavy MRI and scan work is a total insult to the MT who is transcribing the work.
Yes, 8 cpl is the norm (nt)

This is not the norm.
It is less than honest to make people believe this is the norm only to find out once hired...it's not. There are VERY few accounts or platforms at ANY company that would allow MTs to get that kind of count daily....unless working lots of OT.
Did I ever say this was the norm? I think NOT
All I said was that is what I do on my particular ER account with lots of templates and easy docs. There are multiple different types of accounts at KS on multiple different platforms. Did I once come out and say that everyone should be able to get that kind of a line count? No. I did not. Someone asked what ER MTs at KS usually average for line counts, and I simply responded that I type between 2500-3000 a shift with no OT on my account. I did not speak for anyone other than myself. Good god. Get over it!
Actually, the norm for this was
explained to me this way: For every 1 minute of dictation it should take 2 minutes to type it. This is using the old fashion way of transcribing, meaning straight typing, no Expanders and so on. So, if you use expanders, of course, the typing time is cut down further. You also have to keep in mind whether or not the dictator is good or bad, whether it's an ESL dictator, if you are new to the account and so on. All of these things will increase the amount of time it takes to transcribe any report.
something else going on here then, not the norm.nm

I do too - in the 7 - 8 hrs of norm. NM

Yes, it's the norm here...
There are a lot of nasty attitudes here. I admit, occasionally I have one, too. I think it has something to do with this industry and the abuse so many MTs receive these days. My suggestion would be, if you enjoy this site for the most part, just take a break and come back on a different day .
MQ not the norm...welllllllll
guess I'm not either? No complaints on my end w/over 11 years
It seems to be the norm now. I am at $1.15 and make sm
over $50k a year, so it is not bad. If you are fast, know the terminology and have a good mix of types of radiology reports, it would be good.
LOL ... well, that is the exception, not the norm. sm
I wasn't trying to brag at all. I'm older and simply cannot do that on a daily basis (wish I could!). My only point was that if they were cheating me, it would not be possible. I agree with the poster above -- if people think they are being cheated, then they should just move on. This using several line counters and checking and double checking and so on and so forth seems a huge waste of time.
3 years is the norm. nm

Well if this is becoming the NORM there's a problem s/m
There was a big news article today about skyrocketing late/no credit card payments due to the housing market burst and the upcoming recession. Maybe a little 1984 here, but could this credit check be being done by companies as another reason why they can't find qualified workers in the US, thus villifying further offshoring of jobs??
98% here and I thought that was the norm. nm

Two weeks is the norm
Good luck!
George says what he means or is it he means what he
but he sure does apologize in a way I've never heard a person whose company is valued at $8m a year apologize before and I've worked for companies who played who is the president of the week game! All I can say is that his personal interview about his high school reunion has a distinctly different style than his late January postings in which he degrenates the poster he tries to engage. Just remember George's quote we are misinformed.
It is becoming more of the norm so I adjusted to, not resisted the

Yes, very serious; however, 700 lph is not the norm every day. It just depends on the dictator. Th
Sometimes the reports are 98% accurate and sometimes, depending on the dictator, they are 90% accurate. As you know in this field, it depends on the day and dictator. The daily average, after all is said and done, is about 600 lph, 700 is on the very high end and not a consistent average every day.
This is the norm at the companies I have worked for. sm
Don't take it personally. A lot of us go through the same thing. It hurts when a punctation error is pointed out, yet no mention is made of what a great job you did on the medical terminology. Kind of wounds the pride. Take comfort in the fact that the rest of your report was without error. You should learn to follow the style your company wants you to follow. They each have their own rules.
Not ridiculous. It's clearly stated in their ad and the norm for

Hopefully the norm has better voice recognition than
MQ has given me. It honestly takes me longer to edit than it does to transcribe. I pray to God that's not typical of voice recognition.
less staffing all around the hospitals is the norm...
i have siblings in nursing and radiology departments and it's cut, cut, cut = dangerous patient care.
I have found that high-speed is the norm and if SM
you can use satellite or dialup, they will specifically state so in the ad.
Credit check IS the norm. Employers want to how

I guarantee you, you are not the norm. Why lead someone that needs to make a living into a
situation that is getting worse all the time with lost accounts and over hiring and not knowing yet what the pay scale will be.
I've heard that no response from managment is getting to be the norm.. sm..

What it means to me?
As an employee of Heartland, what my understanding is of what that means to me....I am still an employee, and more than likely the purchasing company will need me just like Heartland needs me now. Waiting for the conference calls to hear more information.
It means
That SoftScript screws everyone who has a brain between their ears. The "newbies", and no offense intended, run the company because that is all they have because anyone with any experience has LEFT and rightly so. They take your lines, make you think you are insane, have you work 24-7 to get a decent pay, and god bless if it is on time, which it actually has been x2 since they have been bashed on this board. THAT IS WHAT ALL THIS MEANS. The management is the worst, QA the worst, and lies beyond belief. That is what all this means. DUH.
It means they need it right now!
What stat. means to you as a Transcriptionist is that the turnaround needs to be fast! It would be identified in your accounts specs or your contract or whatever what the turnaround is. Maybe it is an hour, maybe 2 hours, maybe 4 hours after it is dictated. Whatever it is, it means that they need it back quickly. It has priority over anything else.
what does this means?
Im a newbie MT and trying to find a job. I would like to ask what does this means as for compensation? Is this good?
Compensation Information: Subcontract, 9 cents for 65 keystrokes
what does this MEANS....

Yes, I think that is what it means. Not sure why they don't just say so LOL.

It means there is no more. nm

So that means
You can thank the politicians in DC (both parties) for passing NAFTA and giving us the SHAFTA...
What do you think this means?
I'm wondering what this new COO means for us down here typing away in the trenches. Does anybody know anything about him?
for now usually means
until we get all our people making half what you do trained, then . . . .
SE means
statutory employee. Like an IC (independent contractor) you pay your own taxes, set your own schedule, etc, but as an SE, the employer pays part of the SS taxes. No benefits come with either IC or SE positions, other than freedom.
Thank you all, that means a lot to me
:)
exactly, which means
if you are going to claim yourself 100%, you need to present it also. Talk is so cheap.
OT for some means OOW for others
I normally work 3-11 pm. I come on and look at my email. The boss approved OT early this AM because we were out of TAT; by the time I punch in we're within an hour of dictation, BUT SHE LEAVES APPROVED OT UP THERE, and by 8 pm I'm OOW because all the day people got the OT (and are still on there wanting more) and I'm lucky if I get my 8 hours working secondaries putting in a 10 hour day.
How so? If they are IC, and know what that means,

OK, that means no. I'm sure if the SM
money was in your account right now, you'd be posting it all over the boards about how you were right.
My pay was in the bank on the day it was supposed to be-I wish yours had been also.
I'm not sure exactly what this all means
but I'll see what happens if i still decide to send my resume. Thanks for the information.
