wonder why they feel the need to email all MT's
Posted By: about other account specifics on 2007-01-24
In Reply to: I agree with you... - mteagle
you'd think they would know how to email only the MT's it pertains to
and the stupid email graphics from QA are not professional at all, they distract from the real content of the message... very unprofessional plus she can't spell.

Hello,
I currently work for them and I really like my account. I am able to make a good line rate and the people are very nice. There are some problems, but I have not found a national yet that does not have some sort of problems with them. If you would like more info I would be happy to answer your questions.
By the way, feel free to email me
also as I have a direct connection to the hiring in my company and I would be happy to pass the resumes on to the right people. I know we have openings in acute care including emergency room reports. I don't think we have anything else right now but wouldn't hurt to send the resumes to the link above. If we don't have anything, I am sure they will contact you when they do.
Feel free to email me.
All responses will be kept confidential.
Please feel free to email too.
Thanks!
I wish! None that I know of. Feel free to email me! nm

If you want to email me, please feel free. I am headed to the beach today through tomorrow :)
I live literally 1 block from the shore and have only been twice this year due to baseball with kids, my mother being in town for 3 weeks who does not like the beach and wants to be entertained all day long and a bout with the flu. I am going to take the rest of today and tomorrow and bake like a french fry!
Feel lucky you didn't get a rejection email. I have over 16 years experience
and this is the first test, since the very beginning of my career, that I have not passed. I am stunned. I'm not perfect by any means, but this is the first real rejection. I understood it early in my career, but after all this time, and working the past five years doing acute care for a couple of nationals, I get turned out by this company because I failed the test and they do not even tell you which part. I needed this job, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo

I feel the same way. I'm irritable because I feel
and that my years of experience overall, and past few years of busting my @$$ for them hasn't been appreciated or noticed in the least.
We're all just cogs in the wheel.
Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM

I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
I know. I feel the same way.
Makes no sense to me..
We've got fiery, feisty redheads all over this country, although my brother and his wife got married in Ireland.
I feel for you
I think I once felt the same way as you. Its ashame what's been happening but it has been happening and some of it for good reason.
I feel the same way. SM
Who are the people who say that they are doing well financially with DQS? I see them on boards saying that DQS is the best platform but I can't figure out how unless they were making a lot less before than I was. It is strange for some people to be doing so badly on the platform and others to be incredibly satisfied and vocal about it.
Feel the same way ever since...
St. Louis and Chicago CSC combined into one - meaning one branch manager for both CSCs.
I have to work day and night between multiple accounts because they recently hired a bunch of new MTs. Talk about overstaffed!
So I guess this is how they repay MTs that have been loyal full-timers for them for many years - replace them with entry-level MTs.
I know the only out is to try another transciption company part-time to see if they're better but I just don't know if I have the energy to do that right now.
I often feel the same way...(sm)
Reading enough, one gets a feeling of hopelessness. VR taking over the better work, leaving the garbage for the rest. I sometimes wish MTs would stop to think what they're actually doing when they readily agree to take on VR editing. It reminds me of all of those IT techs who were forced to train E. Indians to do their jobs, knowing those same E.I.'s would be taking their jobs FROM them. This is actually worse, because those IT's didn't get a pay cut while doing it!
Some will say that you can't stop the technology...
Really? Where would that technology be without us?
Know how you feel sm
I screwed up ilial/ileal. I just said, um, um, you know, I goof this one everytime and always have to look it up, truthfully gave it my best shot. I was wrong and got the job anyway.
Yes, lol! Feel the same.
If you think about it, anyone can basically score perfect on that with an open book and looking it all up on Google. I thought maybe it was timed so tried to rush through. Who knew? If they are not following it up with a typing portion, they're in for a rude awakening! Think about it, a nurse may pass that test with flying colors, but can she transcribe??? JMO.
Don't feel bad.
MT for many years for many companies including two top-20 rated medical centers and didn't pass two online tests not long ago. Both were very, very simple. I think some places are slaves to the AAMT BOS and the slightest deviation from that is counted as an error. Unfortunately, I think some others may discriminate based on age, geographical area, sex, race, marital status, etc., and use (phony) test results as a way to get out of hiring somebody who may be well qualified but may not fit into their sociopolitical clique.
Know how you feel
I did the same thing last year and it was a big mistake. Some people enjoy working for them but I just couldn't make any money. I was on 5 different accounts and they would all run out of work. It was just so frustrated and couldn't live off the money I was making from them. Needless to say, I left quickly.
I wish you much luck!!!!
I feel for you,
got into a bad situation myself with my old job, but everyone's advice has been good, there are jobs out there, you just have to look. I have had a good luck with Keystrokes, you might want to try there. If not, there are others out there. I wouldn't quit your current job until you have something else. Good luck.
I feel the same sm
Taken 1 sick day in 10 years. Always work more than I'm asked to. Never complain and where am I? Without enough work to pay my long distance phone bill (which I never had to pay for in the past). Very discouraging. :(
Think how you would feel (sm)
if you gave notice at your old job and expected to start with the new one and couldn't for 2 more weeks. I think they should be compensated, seems only fair. If I was in that position though, I believe I would have kept my mouth shut.
Used to feel that way but no more.
Unless you get a lot of the same MDs with macros? Seems in these modern times and if you work for a national you never get the same MD twice. And then all the new instruments and unfamilar terms that you have to look up. Now, it's more like give me more H&Ps where I don't have to look much up, anytime! :)
Well thanks ...Now, I feel better. NOT....LOL
Must have been your time. Congratulations and I hope they have an awesome offer for you...
anyone else at DRC feel like
something is wrong. I mean one of our largest accounts is now all of a sudden empty? I work in this account and I find it extremely odd. This place is a huge facility and never having much to any work really should not be an issue. I am already cross trained on something else, but I am getting a bad feeling.
I feel the same way (sm)
I learned a long time ago to enjoy the slow times because it never lasts.
I know how you feel.
I too am in the same boat. The only thing different is I work for another company. From what I can see it sounds like transcription is heading in the direction or VR. They want us to do twice the work for half the money. Most days I struggle to make 12.00 an hour. It is to the point where after transcribing for over 20 years that I will be going back to school and getting as far away from transcription as possible. Between the cut in pay and wondering if I am going to have enough work I am finding that it is not worth staying in this profession. 
I feel
the same way. It's frustrating. I've only been in transcription for 6 years and am ready to get out. I worked in an office for years. I was treated much better in my office job than doing transcription. My family also refers to this as a sweat shop job. I feel stuck right now, but am trying very hard to get my ducks in a row so I can get out of this nonsense. These nationals should be ashamed of themselves. JMHO
Don't Feel the Same
Sorry, but I don't agree with you. Accounts are only hard to the people without the skills to provide a quality product in a timely manner.
All I can say is that at my new job I feel
valued and respected, am well treated, and the pay is more!!!!!
Don't feel bad.....
I'm the same way.....I should have left the Q long ago, but can't get up the nerve......ho hum.....some day! I keep watching the posts for KS, though!
Thanks to both of you! I do feel better right now.....sm
I guess I am just very worried, as many of us are, of NOT getting paid at all, or something being wrong....I guess we are all used to a bi-weekly or weekly check where we can actually see that we are getting paid correctly and on time.....I guess I have to trust that until March 31st, they seem to be a great company, I guess I have just been burned a few times before! Thanks so much for your encouragement and support!
Still feel the same
It is now a year later, are you still happy with Ascend?
Don't feel bad s/m
Just starting your second year I would say you're doing fine. I would expect that you can reasonably expect to see what you made last year come close to being double that in your second year. 
Don't feel bad..........
I have 14 yrs. experience and I've been beating myself up all day wondering how I could have failed their test! Glad we are both currently employed!
Hugs to you Cheri!!!
I feel better now
LOL. I feel so much better now that I've read your post. I've taken a couple of online tests after having been out of this field for about 10 years. I am able to pass the written portions, but haven't done so well with the transcription portions, unless they are really, really clear. I thought it was just me.
Okay, now I feel MUCH better
Yes, I flunked an online MT test where they said I left out a complete SENTENCE, which I would never do. EVER. A whole word, maybe. It got to me. I even went back over the dictation since I had downloaded it to my computer, and there was NO sentence missing. I found ONE word I had missed for which I left a blank. Something is fishy in the way some companies grade the tests for sure, or they are having the computer grade the tests, and there is something wrong with the computer programs. Don't let it get you down. I am glad you posted this, so that I have further verification that this happens.
thanks, I feel a bit better now
did you notice how he talks over you on the phone? Maybe it was just me.....
