motivating posts!
Thanks for these very inspiring, encouraging tips! (On a day that motivation is really needed! LOL)
Very motivating posts!
It makes me proud to be in this profession to see MTs motivating each other with such encouraging posts!
Difference between degrading and motivating...
I will not allow anyone to treat me a certain way and will come right out and say so if this is the case. I believe QA people/trainers should give encouragement as well as feedback. I love my lead and always feel motivated to do better because of the way she gives it...always saying "great job" I appreciate this or that." It means so much and can make for an excellent relationship! You want to do better every time and feel like a team player. I've been doing this for 11 years now and have had some not so nice QA in my life...it is a power trip for those kind. Don't put up with it if you end up feeling like crap at the end of your day. It's not worth it.
Fear Factor is a like being an MT.

Need is not a factor in this game. (see m)
There is absolutely no point to having a game at all if you are going to give the money to whoever "needs" it.
It's a competition, pure and simple. Sometimes wealthier people are wealthier for a reason: they are competitive. But I definitely believe that in no way ever should need be considered. That just completely detracts from the spirit of the game.
OTC or Rx is not the deciding factor. sm
As the other posters said, the deciding factor on capitalization is whether it is a brand name or a generic. There are prescription meds that are capped (Nexium), and prescription meds that are not capped (esomeprazole). There are OTC meds that are capped (Tylenol) and OTC meds that are not capped (ibuprofen).
don't forget to factor in...
the cost of working outside of the home, such as gas, wardrobe, etc., when making your decision.
Has anyone been following Psycho Fear Factor?
I don't think the Bates Hotel looks all that bad - in fact it looks a lot like MY house! So far I think the worst torture was having that newly divorced couple sleep in the same bed! I guess they signed up for the show B4 they knew divorce wuz pending, LOL.
Simon calls that the X factor....

thanks, i will make it THE deciding factor also.
i'm just going to hang in there. i had some email replies for reassurance also.
I think mismanagement is a HUGE factor, here!

How annoying. What is it with the flaky factor?
Not transcription related but I am trying to get volunteers to help with a big community theater project and I don't know how many times I get the "oh yeah I will definitely be there blah blah" and I end up with mostly no-shows!!! I mean I know it's volunteer but why lie? If they don't want to, just $%#^ SAY SO.. Can't imagine people doing that to a real job, what idiots.
Distance is a factor but box OP refers to sm
makes a difference as well. I have been in this house for 10 years, and while we are probably 2 miles at most down the "line," we are unable to get DSL because the equipment and lines to our house are old and outdated. We didn't even have caller ID until about 6 years ago when they finally updated the box for this area. We are on a dirt road and were told recently that they will not be putting in DSL here, and the only way we will get high-speed is if we see them laying fiberoptic cable. We thought we might get lucky a couple of years ago when they started putting in 1000 houses across from us, but with the housing bust, that has been derailed also. So for now, I will have to be happy with my Sprint EVDO service.
it's 108 in Indio, CA, but a mere 100 with the windchill factor! :o) NM
Hot city!
No, that's next week's Psycho MT Fear Factor.
With FranQ substituting 4 Joe Rogan.![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif) ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif)
Have you set the foot pedal up in your software. Not doing so can be a major factor in why SM
won't work. I know lots of people who just plugged the foot pedal into the computer but never set it up in the software and they had the same problems that you are having.
Totally not MT related, but where is the new season of Fear Factor on NBC? nm
I don't watch fear factor. They abuse animals. I also have better
stuff to do with my time then watch someone eat pig intestines.
Line rate isn't the only factor -- your lines/hour average is key, too.
Even at 7 cpl, keeping about 275 lines/hour average keeps you at $19.25 an hour and that is $40,000 a year.
It is a myriad of factors involved. You have to have the knowledge, be decisive, self-sufficient and very focused. Then, you need to negotiate as high a base rate as you can and look toward the incentive plan to increase your paycheck.
With our incentive, it was not worth it if I couldn't hit high lines in a day. So, I changed my schedule to hit those lines.
I am tired after my work days but having the 4 days a week off and a good income makes it worth it for me. It allows me to spend my days off doing things I want to.
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.
Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.
Good luck - hope it works out for you.
