Also, good MTs hard to find. Might be worth

MTSO knows hard to find good MT,especially 1

Even with multiple GOOD dictators, I still find it hard - sm
to do '8 hours' worth of transcription in less than 11-12 hours, mainly due to the lack of ability to make templates, as each doc does his H&P entirely differently. Also they want extraordinary accuracy, grammar clean-up, and proofreading done on each report. So a longish H&P can sometimes take an hour.
Might want to check out eBay if you're not into JCP or Sears stuff. Can find some good bargains

I'm sorry, but I find this hard to believe sm
 You actually expect us to believe that you work part-time and still do 16,000 per pay period at MQ. How? What's your secret? You must be superwoman or something! Cause I work full time and can't do that many lines! Boy, am I jealous!
I still find it really hard to believe.
There are hundreds of thousands of people who will be just throwing their TVs away because they'll refuse to pay for cable or dish. What about all the elderly people? No way are they going to pay for something that's been free since it was invented. I do have basic cable, but it's mostly smut and garbage on there. I only keep it for PBS and Disney channel right now, but we've been seriously considering cutting it off. Every time we try to watch something on TV, the ads for other programs are just not something we like to expose our children to. If we cancel cable, I guess we'll just watch DVDs and not have TV at all any more. (Or watch it through the Internet like we listen to the radio now.)
Trying to find the way out? It's not THAT hard...
get another job! GET ANOTHER JOB! GGGEEETTT ANNOOOTHHHERRR JOOOBB!!!! ROFL
OMG, you really can't be serious with that line, can you?! Trying to figure it out? TRYING?
You apply...you interview...you accept another position...you work both jobs until you're up and running with the 2nd one and then you QUIT MQ!
And since no one at MQ seems to have any work except MY office, then that should be a real breeze for ya!! You're obviously not working anyway! OMG how many brain cells are you actually utilizing to stay where you have no work or they crap all over you like you claim?!
Oh, that is SOOOOOO hilarious!!!!!!! I do appreciate the humor, people! Really, I do!!!!!
I think it's illegal too. I find it hard to believe
you've earned. Talk to an attorney who specializes in employment law.
I find it hard to believe that the MTs overseas
experienced at MT, but that's just me. These companies are just trying to save money, plain and simple because people in those countries can and will work for peanuts.
Because...I worked so hard to find it. You can to if you try..nm

WHAT? Does ex-text do that? These companies push so hard for VR, there has to....
be a great advantage to them. I hear of girls doing 3000 to 4000 lines a day but have never talked personall to one. I couldn't , too much editing of sentences left out, doctors who have the habit of changing commplete sentences, sending you back up a report to add this this and that. Geez, that is not counting the a, the changing from the to that, a to an, on and on ad nauseum.
Yes, it's hard for me, too. It's such a struggle to find money
to buy gifts for people. I always try to give something I know they collect or a gift certificate to a restaurant or book store. In return, I've gotten Fingerhut freebies, an employee baseball cap, and clearance bath stuff in nasty fragrances like Freesia with the tag left on. I don't see the point in it. I wish our families would agree to stop giving gifts to adults. I seem to be the only one that feels this way. Then again, that's not fair because I've got the most kids.
Sorry, just don’t find the hard workers here you are talking about
Most of us have the good life and would not dream of doing the jobs Hispanics do. I used to work at least 2 jobs to have the kind of money I wanted and had more jobs than that at 1 time- hardly anyone wants to work like that. I think America has gotten soft in a lot of ways whether school systems, work ethics, children and too numerous to count ways. You can bet your bottom dollar if an American is standing out with a sign saying will work for food- ha! Try to get them to come work and see what happens. Your president needs to close the borders- until then I will get the best person I can to work for me, to do a good job and not grip the whole time nor sit down wiht the job half done.
How much room do you need on your hard drive if you work for 2 companies at once. I know this is a
stupid question but I am ready to buy a computer and I am thinking of going part time with 2 companies and each one has their own platform but I dont want to pay for some hugh unnecessary computer. Can someone tell me what has worked for them if you work for 2 separate companies.
Harder on my eyes than my ears but I find it hard to
believe that listening to dictation could cause hearing loss. Blasting music through headphones maybe, but not dictation. I've been doing this for 20 years and have not noticed any difference in my hearing.
However, my eyes get soooooo tired. I've started zooming in to make the print look bigger and that helps a lot.
When you are really smart like this, it's hard to find anything to hold your attention.
The Olympus DS-330 has been discontinued-- hard to find now expecially for $99 - sm
I just got one for $140 total (with shipping, new off of ebay). They have new models out to replace the DS-330 about $150 and up, you have to shop around to find the best price. I got the unit for myself to check out how they work, etc., also to record my husband sometimes so I can play it back to him when he says "I never said that".....have some fun with it.
So what do you do to keep motivated to type during the work day? Sometimes I find it so hard to...
stay focused. When you're working at home it is soooo easy to turn on the TV, take frequent breaks to answer the phone, talk to hubbie, play with the kids, take a hot bath, play solitaire on the PC, surf the net, post on a message board, etc.
I just wondered if anyone had any miracle cure for the wandering mind?
I think one reason MTs find it hard to have diverse skills (s/m)
is that for all these years we have been pigeonholed into just one specialty - typing medical reports. When I started MT at my organization, we had a variety of duties. Now we just sit and type. Interestingly, the few who got promotions within or out of the MT department were the ones who weren't too smart, and not very good MTs. The good MTs were kept where they were needed - doing transcription work only. And the smart ones are considered a threat to management, so they have no hope of ever advancing.
I've been to night school to try to broaden my computer skills, and the community college system is totally not on the cutting edge. Everytime I learned something useful, it became obsolete before we could ever implment it in our workplace.
I've looked into changing fields, and one of the big stumbling blocks is all the prerequisites for just about any field of study. Many of them involve the math & science classes I was steered away from due to my gender. (This was the 60s, remember... it was still legal to discriminate back then.) I looked into training as a veterinary technician, and working full-time and going to night school, getting all the classes in that I missed in high school was going to eat up about 4-5 years. It would probably take even longer to get into the vet-tech program. By the time I graduated, I would probably be in my early 70's. What veterinary hospital is going to want to hire a 70 year old newbie who will either retire or die before she's even learned the ropes at the new job?
Meanwhile, what ticks me off is that MT's are expected to have a very broad knowledge of English, medical terminology and computers, and be whiz-bang typists as well. And yet the same people that want speed, accuracy and experience, don't want to pay squat for it.
Have heard it is hard to find position in coding

Your MTs will find it hard to make any money with eScription.
VERY hard to get - a few companies have rad tied up pretty tight. The hospital I work for sm
will not even look at a new company for radiology. The TAT is too tight, the IS issues complex, and the radiologists do not want to have to proof their reports. You would be better off with medical records or small offices to start to build your size and reputation.
With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests

Is it possible to do a system back-up (hard drive information) to a USB
zip drive? Have you done it? How do you figure how big of a zip drive is needed?Thanks.
experienced MTs need to find companies
I just went with a company that will not hire with less than 5 years experience. They pay better.
Can't find anything on a net search. Is there an ad up? New companies

i have a Geneticist that i type and find it extremely hard with the terms of all the genetic disabli

Which companies fastest to pay 1st check? (sm)
Someone said Proscript was fast (invoice period ends Saturday, direct deposit the following Weds/Thurs), but they're not hiring.
NEMT pays weekly, but a friend said it is several weeks until the first check, and they pay with paper checks.
Anybody else know a company that pays fast? I'm good!
Bytescribe is one of the most crooked companies you can find..they have
screwed me over a number of times. It is all about the money and half the time the damn program wont work. Do you think i can get adequate tech support? UM NO! They copy and paste a prewritten message to any of it until you YELL at them, then they half-way solve the problem!!
Don't always find errors, but need to be sure, so have to check.
I don't always find errors, but with my personality, I have to check them anyway. Sometimes I do find minor typos. However, there's no way to know for sure without checking.
The owner should check out "factoring" companies
In order to pay employees on time, while waiting for accounts to pay MTSO. I think PRN Funding is supposed to be a good one.
I'm afraid that kind of pay situation, being as ''imperfect'' as it is, indeed, is likely to keep a lot of good, qualified people away.
Where can I find the web site for getting thru to companies without waiting for hours?
I used to have it and really need again. Thanks!
Check the enclosed site. May be able to find what you need there--sm

If you check the archives you'll find
this same question has been asked numerous times, but basically most have felt it a waste of time and wouldn't recommend them.
Worked in clinic for 30 yrs and have tinnitus. I am used to back ground noise, hard to work
:+
Doesn't bother me either about the FBI check. I do take issue with companies
that want credit checks as that has nothing to do with anything.
A lot of MT companies do. I'm not giving any names. Check archives.

I will check into that for you and get back to you! (NM)

Maybe try to find a good web site to refer to! Good luck NM

Has anyone used Tessier paper back version 5 x 8 book with over 2000 pages - does that make it hard

Check around your local area for clinics or transcription companies
That's what I did. I first started out working for a very small MTSO and worked at their office for a couple of weeks and then they moved me home and I started working on a single speciality account. I'm still working for the office after 5 years (altough the MTSO closed her business).
Check your recipe. If you can cut back
the butter/oil a bit, you might find the that the cookies hold their shape better. This has worked for me in the past. The suggestion to chill the dough is a good one. You can even leave it in the fridge overnight. Work in small batches so that the batter stays cold. Finally, don't add any oil/spray to the cookie sheet.
Yes - I love it! I will check back here later to see if I can help you (sm)
with anything specific?
You can go back and check the report if you know your job number.
Do F5 choose detail report type, put in dates you want to search and press run report, then click on the job number you want and under job view choose user output. This is the way it looks when it goes to the client. Hope this helps. 
i don't find mistakes if i spot check. so i don't relisten. costs money you know.
paid to type and listen once as i type.
Thanks ... guess I'll have to check it out some time ... like I need to find more ways to goof of

Check out the back-up batteries at Office Depot -
I have very short power interruptions every single day, so having a back-up power supply is a must. I have two now, hooked to different pieces of equipment. I can work for nearly an hour without external power if need be. I can hear it beep and click on and then off when power is restored again, which is literally just maybe 10 seconds or so. As far as a generator goes, I have no idea, sorry.
I thought I saw it here awhile back but I can't find in archive search. sm
I'd read here (I thought) about herbal antidepressants including 5-HTP and something else, but I can't find where I saw this. If anyone can be of help, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks.
Thats a really good question. Maybe they arent all as hard as the folks below had it.
The person who said they worked all those hours (the 3 dollar person the OP referenced) posted they werent doing it anymore. That is what I read, but maybe I just assume that those were the same folks.
Good for you. There is no reason any hard working MT should put up with that crap. nm
:)
Good for you! So nice to see MTs rewarded for their hard very work dedication.
