Thanks for the info. Makes me feel better.... sm
 I have been doing a lot of reading and I really hoped it would do well with just voice files. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to the reducing the noise factor as well. Can't wait to get mine! Will get it possibly by Monday.
Makes perfect sense. Appreciate the info and I will be
looking into going this route.
it makes sense to everyone w/o a hard head that refuses to let new info in.
You are backwards and gawd help those people you edit. Such a condescending know-it-all attitude. Looking forward for some great karma for you. Some pompous know-it-all to point out all your mistakes would be just perfect. Love it!
Hello..you cannot predict an earthquake, but you know areas that are prone to them. NM

Nervous MT2
I am sorry you are so sad. Please don't give up on the MT profession or on yourself.
Nervous MT
You did your best. You made some mistakes. So we all make mistakes. Try to look at it from the brighter side - you learned something from the mistakes. Maybe that company is not really the one for you! Keep trying. I know you sound depressed, but don't be too hard on yourself. You will find a place where you fit. Let us know how it is going. You and your fellow MQ MTs have had a difficult time lately. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Good luck! 
I can understand being nervous about it.
contact the wage/labor board?
Everybody gets nervous with testing.
One suggestion to manage testing was to make a list of all the places you could possibly test, and list them in order of how much you want the job. Then test first for the job you want least, then second least, and by the time you get through the list, you'll be a pro at testing. :oD
That would have made me nervous.. nm
Yes! I am a great MT but I get too nervous testing and do really bad!..nm

Slow learning curve...getting a little nervous.
I recently left the job I had had for over a decade because I had grown to HATE the company I worked for. Have moved to a different company, one with a very good reputation on this board. So I'm learning a new platform, new account, new dictators including lots of new ESL docs... and I'm learning acute care after many, many years of almost entirely clinic work. Please, somebody tell me I'm going to get up to speed someday. Hopefully someday soon. Back in the day I typed an average of 250 lines an hour.... My line count seems stuck for the last week or so at 140. I've been doing this job for 2 weeks now. The switch to acute care is really shaking my confidence... I'm realizing how much I didn't know for the many years I've been an MT. Just hoping for a little encouragement -- as my daughter would say, "an encouraging shoulder squeeze."  TY!
Unfortunately, this guy had a nervous breakdown and that gravy train came to screeching halt!

The facilities have not...
been deceived. You have been deceived. You are certainly free to notify whomever you'd like, but do not be surprised if you do not achieve the results you expected.
Do they offer anything besides VA facilities now? nm
s
99% of time, what facilities want has nothing to
x
There will always be those niche facilities who want quality
p
Dont agree. I think there will always be those facilities/Drs
uio
We are not talking about naming facilities that
x
Maybe facilities use to dealing with employees
x
Two errors per page is a LOT of errors! nm

Maybe doctors don't, but most acute care facilities do.

By 2012, the Bush Admin wants all facilities EMR.
This won't happen, but it is the goal. Some doctors will still use transcriptionists to enter the info, but I'm guessing the job description will be changed to Medical Data Entry Person, not require any special skills, and be minimum wage--not that I'm pessimistic or anything.
Some will do it themselves, and some will resist until the very end and beyond, but these guys are probably still hand writing their notes, so that doesn't help us. lol!
Wow, I didn't know that. Both local docs/facilities and (m)
nationals that I work for have never asked about schooling. So IOW, if you don't have the experience, some may hired based on the education? I've only ever known of companies to hire if you have X amount of experience and they didn't care about your education. Good to know. I was wondering how to steer this friend, but looks like maybe she's doing the right thing going with CS?
Bucks stop at facilities who pay for MT service.

Oncology and some specialty AIDS facilities can be TOUGH.

I have an idea...we can picket those facilities who use companies that offshore. sm
Every patient going in and coming out of that hospital/facility will know their private medical record is going offshore to be transcribed and therefore, there is risk of identity theft, lack of privacy, etc Just like those for ProLife and the like.
I think that will bring attention to the matter!
I know a huge hospital system in my town outsources their TX to MQ, who is now CBay, and now everything will be offshore. I think I will make my point and concerns when I have picket signs outside the President's window in a public area, so as not to be trespassing.
Free Speech in America.....right!!!
the facilities are supposed to "self report" violations -
when I worked inhouse it was explained to us that we were supposed to "self report" to the powers when we did something wrong and would then be fined for it. Who in the heck is going to do that?
Nursing homes/care facilities aren't all they are cracked up to be (sm)
I have a sibling who just lost their spouse. Every time the spouse was in the nursing home, they became ill to the point of needing hospitalization. Dehydration? They weren't giving the poor thing fluids!!! Kidneys shut down and then they died.
I think I'd rather die before being put into a nursing home and I think I will add that to my advanced directives living will.
I get motion sickness and I think if you are prone to car sickness
you wouldn't be able to type in the car. I know I wouldn't be able to at all. I wouldn't even try it if I were you.
RUN AWAY!!!! Do not pass go, do not buy their
lousy worthless software and footpedal. They are also known as TranScam. There are complaints against them with the BBB and ripoffreport.com. Even a national parenting magazine published an article about their scam methods.
You can download Express Scribe for free to play sound files at http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/
You can purchase a footpedal online for under $50.
As for my own experience with them, I am a college grad, took a medtrans course, and have worked in MT for 8 years now. I wanted to see if what everyone said was true, so I applied with TranScam. They even pulled it on me! My test file was perfect, but Alan said I needed mentoring so I could work for him for free after I purchased the $400 program. I don't think so, dearie. I don't know how that guy lives with himself. He must be one of those masochists who thinks he's so superior to women or something.
Don't pass this up!
nm
Did I pass?
If you don't want the job, please pass it on to me! :) nm
s
Thanks Jay (V?) - will pass it on too...nm
this too shall pass
Stop, take a breath and look around you. Really think hard about what's important. If you had to leave your home for a small and less expensive one, would it be THAT bad? If a vehicle got repossessed, would it be the end of the world? I have learned from age and experience just not to sweat it. You can only do what you can do.
Appeal the medical bills that weren't covered. Find out from the ambulance company why they were denied payment...been there, done that.
Everybody has problems...I got stiffed out of 2 checks by my prior company, went to work for another national, been there a month, still haven't been paid, though they keep telling me it was mailed. No pay now for nearly 3 months. If they turn the cable off, big deal, I'll listen to the radio. It gave me a good opportunity to clean out the fridge since there's nothing in it!! Worry only about your health and your husband's health, stress can make you ill....and it DOES.
or a DAY AT THE SPA pass.....nm
I will pass that one along to her, thanks!...nm
nm
Did you pass? nm
.
That is so funny.... I must pass it on
nm
Please read and pass on...
I received this via e-mail...so you know how things get started on the Internet, but if it's true, I won't be buying Pepsi anytime soon..
Don't buy Pepsi in the new can. Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can
coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building, and the
Pledge of Allegiance on them.
However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge,
"Under God."
Pepsi said they didn't want to offend anyone.
In that case, we don't
want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either!
So if we don't buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended
when they don't receive our money that has the words
"In God We Trust" on it.
I will pass this along to my hubby. He's always looking for new...
investment opportunities.
Very thoughtful of you! Thanks!
Maybe you could pass out fliers and
give your number or e-mail address, and just see what kind of response you get and go from there with setting up a meeting time. Have the first meeting at your house.
What are you smokin'? Pass it over here! :)
Please pass on the name of the company you went with s/m
You do not currently use ExText at all. What company using ExText did you leave? TT ?
What platform are you using now. Would you mind sharing this with us.
Yep, you get the free pass, right?
Because everyone there knows your names? Bigspenders!! I knew you said were going back soon and that is what we are doing, probably in August sometime. Hubs likes to wait until it gets around 110 and he is happy. Ugh for me! I took my kids when they were younger to loads of places so now my time and even if I am up in years don’t care, get assistance at the airport if I need and still go on my merry way. After I get these bills out of the way, my intention is going at least twice a year for myself- hubs can wait until that 1 trip a year to Las Vegas. Never stayed at Harrahs- saw the show there, wonderful. Wish they had the really big stars in LV like they used to - when I got to where I could afford, Elvis, Frank and the likes gone. Might go and see George Carlin, have always liked him and his wraped sense of humor. Again, hubs will be at the Rio with the all you can eat seafood buffet!
If you passed the CMT before, I'm sure you can pass it again... (sm)
especially since you have an additional 7 years of experience. Someone told me they make you listen to the dictation snippets without the use of a foot pedal. Really...that is funny. What MT would work without a foot pedal? Unless of course they were a double amputee. Sorry I'm so wordy tonight. I just got done with my shift and am a bit punch drunk at 3 am.
Anyway, the RMT is just for new graduates to test their basic skills.
Good luck with your CMT recert. I have my 2 years at the end of the month and am thinking about taking it myself.
CMT pass score
Can anyone tell me what is the score required to pass the CMT exam?
Thank you, I will pass along your kind words to him.
Thank you for taking the time to write back. It is really helpful and I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for the prayers! I will pass along your kind words to him. Bless you and have a great day.
I can't pass a typing test, LOL. I am so
used to using an Expander that I can't even type a sentence without a mistake in it.
Tell him there is only ONE that is qualified to pass judgment
on you, and he's not the ONE.
For pet lovers - please pass this link on!
