Hello,

I am highly interested in the MT companies who have current openings in oncology as the speciality of choice!  I have 5 years' experience as an MT.  I am now doing orthopedics, which is good, but I really love doing oncology, for personal reasons.  I am looking for pay per line either equal to OR above my pay that I receive now.  I have worked for a little over one year for the company I work for now, and I received an actual raise for all of my hard, but enjoyed, work.  Also, I should mention that I have NEVER worked for any companies, in my life, that do not give raises every year.  As long as the work warrants it, and everything else keeps going up in price, i.e. GAS prices, and etc, I think that it should be given to us hard-working MTs!!  After all, this is a REAL job, and not just a job that is taken lightly by some of us, who actually NEED to make a living off of this type of work, and also enjoy doing it!

So, if your company has what I would like to have in an employer, contact me, and we will talk seriously about it.  I would just love to hear from you!

Does anyone know anything about the data entry specialist job listing on the job board?  Is this one of those scam or is it a real job?  I applied for it, but have not heard anything yet.  Has anyone here heard anything about it? 

Thanks

I was wondering if anyone had heard back from this job listing yet?  I got an email today from Stanford Executive Recruitment today with the same information as the job listing and so am assuming that is them.  They want a $14.00 registration fee so I am smelling SCAM.  Just wondering what you all thought or have experienced with this one.

Thanks

...we are transcriptionists. Our job is to type what the doc/PA/nurse dictates. Look at a court reporter; she can call herself a legal language specialist or a juris stenographer or whatever else she comes up with, but her job is to provide a transcript of WHAT IS SAID in court. She is not changing anything, and nobody expects her to. In fact, if she did, there would be huge repercussions!

 Same for closed captioning transcriptionists. What is said goes in the ears and out the fingers, no changes.

 The difference between us and them is that we deal in medical language.

My title and my job is medical transcriptionist. I have also been a transcription editor. If the account says type verbatim, I do just that, and it matters not to me if the doc ends the sentence with a preposition. I'm here to provide a hard copy of what he said, not make him look like he went to charm school. If the doc/site/account/client decides the charts look foolish, they are free to allow me light editing privileges for the sake of clarity.

If you want to correct someone else's words, become a copy editor.

I think I can help you. Pls mail me ASAP.  

Thanks

and an MT for 16+ years.  I can edit roughly 4000+ lines per day easily (but I love to work).  At 1100 lines per day, we are only talking 2-3 hours of work at best.  I work for SS part time (yea I know the "bad" company) and can edit 1500 lines in 3 hours on bad days.  No worries! If you know your terminology, you will be fine.  If you have to look up a lot of stuff, then no good.   I also work for a smaller company full time at an hourly rate (yea I love them) and even still, I edit minimum of 100 reports a day and usually a lot more.  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! 

But on another note!  I read a post from just below this one that said you would make about 50 something dollars a day and you would "starve." Now while I agree this would NOT be a good pay for editors, I do, however, believe that earning 7+ dollars per hour is not the worst thing in the world for MTs (especially new ones).  You have to start somewhere, but like any production job, you only earn more when you work more or get faster.  That is the name of the game.

This is unfortunate. The lady who posted this ads resume said she had 14 years of experience; however, the first and only report that she typed as a test was horrible and there were many mistakes that someone with 14 years of experience should not make. I believe what the Operations Manager meant by well rounded experience is someone with the ability to transcribe, operate their computer, troubleshoot and be able to be handed account specs and type accordingly.  This is what ACMR did with me and that is what they did with everyone I work with so far.  I did not find anything wrong with their communication or expectations.  I like it actually.  I have access to the entire account.  I pull what I need, type it and return it.  I am done. Love it!  I do not have someone hanging over my shoulder and when I need time off, I let someone know and I never hear one more word about it.  It is fantastic.  Stress free!  I am sure the lady who posted this ad would have found that out but apparently, she was not happy with her own performance on her testing report, and honestly I do not think it was the company.  Honestly, I find a lot of issues with many MTSO out there and ACMR has minimal issues, and I can work with them. Again, this is unfortunate....this lady talks like she has been with them forever and really only made it to the testing table.  I welcome comments and questions......love to chat!!!!

Is 4 cpl reasonable pay for Rad Editor requiring 10 yrs exp?  Seems low to me.  Anybody know anything about Apex Radiology?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows what it is like to work for NEMT as an editor.  Do you know what the work and/or platform is like?  What is the pay like for their editors?

Thanks :)

Hello, I posted this question a month ago, but didn't get a chance to follow up on the leads that were posted.  Would you be so kind again and let me know if you know of any companies that pay their editors by the hour, that would be great, Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what is the Normal pay per line (65 char. w/ spaces) for an IC Editor these days???

Thanks! :)

but I'm not about to post my experience here because I'm just a disgruntled employee after all, so anything I say is because I'm angry that I was let go....yeah, whatever.  

I agree with everything the other disgruntled employees say. Shapin is an unprofessional company that is run by M & L. They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. Little does she know that they are going to eventually be the death of her company.

For those of you happy people who are currently work for them, watch your back. You may think things are great now, but just wait....and don't come back here and say you weren't warned......
