Can you tell me why? I really need to know, I can't make another mistake.

Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?
The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?
That doesn't sound right.
Not bashing, just wondering. 
People do make mistakes sometimes. Maybe it was an oversight or plain ole mistake
on someone's part, an unintentional mistake. It is possible.
Cute! Sarcastic, but cute. nm

not very professionable
to be screaming maybe you can adjust your tone.
Is there a way to make MS Word...
automatically double space after each sentence. I have been under options and poking around but for the life of me cannot figure it out. I am using MS Word 2000.
Thanks
BTW, if you will make these changes in Word outside...
of the EXText program by opening a Word document alone, these changes should be there each and every time you enter EXT. Glad to have helped!
resumes do not take that long, especially when you have had only 1 job..make it with your word sm
processor and send.
Make sure that it is the Word version not the old blue screen. nm

I am not following how you make the macro, in word? or expander like shorthand? Help me.

cute!!

LOL! That is too cute.
I lived in Michigan very briefly years ago, and everyone looked at me as if I had three heads every time I said anything. My drawl is very pronounced. :)
very cute
it's nice to laugh and be open minded! I wonder why these people come here at all - it must be the reason to  !
LOL! Cute ... nm

lol, that was on purpose.
I'm not that dumb. 
cute comment....nm

What is the purpose of your post?

What's the purpose of them wanting
you to log everything? Like country below, I always just jot down as downloading, but it sounds like maybe you are doing something a little more extensive? If they require it to get paid, I guess you don't have much choice...but if you're talking major log keeping, that would take up a lot of time  I've just always done it for my own peace of mind, actually did have incident of DQS some time ago not counting a report I did, had to contact supervisor and got it corrected. Also many years ago with MQ in the old days before DQS, there was some glitch happened, and I was very luck to have the job numbers, as I had to tell the person calling me late at night what jobs I had done...
Very cute! I'm sure we all want free money.:)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yeah, and she's probably young and cute too! LOL (nm)

The purpose of "nm" is so we don't have to look inside.-->nm

I thought the purpose of this site was
to be informative TO MTs and not AGAINST MTs. If you are an MTSO who is getting bashed, well, don't you have the same right as the owner of this site to go out and form your own site/blog to bash anyone you want? That's off topice anyway and wasn't what I meant when I posted.
People can say negative things about MTSOs (and the other way around) without it being bashing. For example if someone asked about company X and I had worked for them 2 years and I'm in the process of leaving, I could perhaps say (as an example), I felt the initial account/platform training I received was inadequate and that kept me from meeting production minimum until my ? pay period. That isn't bashing. That's honest and if I say it was 2 years ago, the reader can inquire during the interview process about the company's current training procedures to see if it has improved during those 2 years.
Wouldn't that hep both the MTSO and the potential MT be successful earlier in their relationship?
I can't help wonder if that e-mail was accidentally on purpose.nm
nm
That is so NOT the purpose of medical insurance. nm

Raises were not the purpose of the meeting.... sm
Did you not hear it said that prices are down 25% overall in the industry over the last few years? How can a company give you a ____ cent-per-line increase if the industry prices are down?
Did you not hear about the technology they are implementing to help the MTs increase productivity?
Increased Productivity = Increased Paycheck.
Overall, I came away from the meeting with a very good feeling. I'm sorry if it was not the same for you.
Sorry to offend, but the purpose of this board sm
is to ask questions and discuss things about the different companies we work for without getting our supervisors or leads involved. If I would have wanted to ask my lead I could have, but the reply would have took a lot longer given it was late at night on a Sunday, and I was wanting a reply right away.
I sorry you feel it is inappropriate to discuss what day we get paid on a public board, but I don't. Oh well everybody has a different opinion. Maybe I should write a letter to Emily Post to see I have broken some ettiqute rule, lol. Sorry MtMommomyof2, but seriously get over yourself (don't think I am bashing or anything, though) This is a public board, where the public (and yes even KS'ers) can post any question they like so long as doesn't violate any posting guidlines set forth by MTStars...not you.
I specialized for years, not on purpose....
... it just happened that way. I spent the first 36 years or so of my career doing strictly clinical; only moved into acute care 8 months ago because my beloved oncologist boss of nearly 28 years closed his practice, and I still needed to eat now and then.
In addition to the oncology practice, I did (and still do) orthopedics for many, many years as an IC. So I have well over 20 years in both those subjects. When you work with few docs, you get to where you can do their work on autopilot, very, very quickly.
I got paid more but that's only because those were local accounts, with the pay commensurate with the cost of living in our area. In fact, if I didn't still have that one local ortho account, I wouldn't be able to live on what I make on my acute care job for a national.
Oh really?!! Harassing people is part of their job? How cute!

Caught your Cowsills reference. Cute! :) nm

Cute. Now, give me a toke :) Just kidding! nm
:P
I think I made a valid point. What is your purpose in
My point was that a lot of recruiters will talk up their company when people looking into them inquire about them. They're not supposed to do it, but it's done all the time. Anyone who is seriously looking into a company will know exactly where to contact them and TO contact them. Someone asked a legitimate question and got a rude reply from you. You got called out and you don't like it.
And if you do this, deleting the report defeating the purpose
of VR being taught how to do a report so you would just have to keep it up, not a wise thing to do. Delete at 4 cents, type at 4 cents. I would think most places would not be accepting of this practice.
Cute :-) Yep, we got paid today. Now I can buy that popsicle I was dreaming about ... LOL nm
over-zealous recruiters - aren't they cute? (no message)
.
I cannot imagine what purpose you intend to serve by this post?
No wonder companies want to go overseas. I wouldn't hire the lot of you anyway with these ridiculous attitudes, slamming, and incessant back-biting.
It is apparent that US MTs are just not worth the trouble. The overseas MTs will do this work WITHOUT COMPLAINT.
The purpose of this board is to share info about MTSOs...
I simply don't understand why MTs post all these negative things about a company but will not divulge the name of the company or even give us a hint! What are you afraid of?!?!!? They are already screwing MTs over and probably you too if you're angry enough to post! You can post anonymously, that's the beauty of this particular site. No one need know who you are.
I, personally, keep a list of MTSOs and things I've heard about them. God knows I've been through enough bad MTSOs, I want to save other MTs the heartache of going through the same crap I've gone through!
Besides the best way to get these MTSOs to change is to post their name on a PUBLIC forum. Word of mouth can be a powerful thing!
Here is a list of companies I have worked for and the problems I have had, starting with the most recent:
JLG --> paid payroll practices, LATE pay checks, and discontinuation of direct deposit.
Focus Infomatics --> they offshore the majority of their work, they lie about offshoring the majority of their work, they lie to their employees about pay, hours, and job status and breach contracts left and right.
TransHealth --> I have nothing bad to say about them. Pay always on time, people nice (they have since been bought by Webmedx).
Precyse Solutions --> Nothing horrible to report. If I recall, they didn't pay for templates, but they told you that up front.
Medquist --> horrible people in supervisory positions, very cliquish company, bad dictators on all my accounts!
Webmedx --> The account I was on was completely and utterly horrible! Other than that, nice people, very organized.
Accutype --> complete embecil in charge (when I worked for them) who knew nothing about transcription or the needs of MT, again very cliquey with friends giving friends the best work.
Diskriter --> ran out of work frequently
I also worked for several small MTSOs that were either bought or went out of business, and I will say it usually was the smallest MTSO that I enjoyed working for the most. I did work as an IC for a company out of Arizona doing radiology a few years ago for a while (I can't remember the name, but I don't think they are around anymore). Also I worked as an IC for Administrative Advantage out of Pennsylvania were pretty decent, easy accounts and easy to make money, used DropChute to deliver dictation and reports back and forth and you just typed in one big docment per dictator in Word. Simple, straight forward, and always on time. If you ran out of work, they would try to put you somewhere else, but never made any promises. I like honesty and they were honest.
See how easy that was. You try!
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
My mistake. It was MDI-FL. sm
They called me back yesterday finally and found out that it was MDI-FL. I was offered the position which I gladly took. The funny thing is that Transcend has the account now that my previous employer had and was taken away and given to Transcend. I am crossing my fingers I will get on that one (although not holding my breath either). The line rate seems good. The schedule is what I need. So we shall see. So far so good.
mistake
Yes. Mistake made. Windows Vista not compatible with a lot of MT software. Go to Microsoft.com and find what IS compatible, by manufacturer's name.
its a mistake. This was before
this is a mistake..if you check the dates it was before the layoff..
My mistake...
It was not Keystrokes, it was a different company in Illinois on the list that was no longer in service. Just one of those Monday moments on a Thursday!
Big Mistake :-(
Anybody else ever think they figured it out, schedule wise, and end up leaving a company for another one and then realize they made a HUGE mistake? But it is too late because the doctor that you transcribed was already given to someone else.....
I was working for a great company!!!! One that, for some reason, will occasionally get some bad reviews here.... which I do not understand why.. had a baby, had to leave one company (as I was working for three) and let go of the wrong one!!!! But was too stressed out at the time, when making my decision, to realize it.
I wish I could do a system restore on my work situation and set myself back to when I was with that company working on my favorite doctor!!!!
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

I made a BIG mistake. SM
I was working for this great company who only required 2000 lines a day and had a very flexible schedule. I couldnt handle the 2000 lines a day in addition to my other position and had to quit. Then a little later, asked if I could have another chance. She gave me this chance and then, again, it was too hard for me to keep up with all the work.
Now I am on a different schedule with school starting again as well as other circumstances and this would just be the perfect scenerio for me. The 2000 lines a week.
I have been searching for other companies that might have this type of position available and have failed to locate one. Do you think it would be completely wrong of me to ask, yet again, for another chance? Or would I be coming off too nutty. :-)
Just asking for opinions. Go ahead and tell the truth. If you think I am a nutcase, go ahead and let me know. LOL. Just want pure honesty here.
Also if anyone else has ever been in the same position as I, I'd love to hear about it. At least I would know I am not the only one.
It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?
Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
My mistake. You are correct.
So, did the REAL KS recruiter post those messages?
Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
DSG website mistake? sm
DSG website has a link to a website called MTIA saying it stands for Medical Transcription Industry Association. When you click on the link it takes you to a place that is a website for Missouri Tellecommunications Industry Association!! Is this an honest mistake or a scam? Lots of people probably wouldn't even check the links.
Just wondering.
Please don't mistake me for the spelling cop, but (sm)
You stated that the QA people are supper helpful too... Does that mean that they'll drop in around 4:30 p.m. and start getting dinner ready for me too? LMAO!
