  • Start by calling your personal doc offices. Probably - a word of mouth thing for jobs. nm
    • And/or sign up with a medical placement service. Usually - several in an area. nm
      • But those will be for in-house or staffing jobs, not - at-home positions, almost never. NM
  • Doctors sometimes will post on the state boards, though - what I know

Why should the IC give up her staffing solutions to the MTSO?  The IC only makes may be 9 cpl if she's lucky, and the MTSO probably makes 13-15 cpl.  I think my friends would rather make the 13-15 cpl to keep the account happy, than make only 9 cpl and make the MTSO happy.  The MTSO is wrong to take an account they can't staff properly, and then in turn blame the typist for TAT, etc.  It is just not fair!  Lowering the boom on the typist is my big concern, not so much "client stealing".  "Client stealing" has been around longer than we think it has.  The MTSO had to begin the "stealing" process from the get go, and then in turn cannot staff.  It all boils down to staffing.  I say, hire per diem employees.  Most transcriptionists are able to pick up a little extra now and again to accomodate the MTSO in a "tough spot", but this work should be paid a little extra as an incentive.  Tit for tat, though, in all fairness! 

a bachelor apartment.  It benefits me in the long run.

We didn't plant them, but they were probably about 5 to 10 years old when we bought the house.  We sold the house about 8 years later.  A couple of them at that time had already died, and they all died within a few years after that and had to be cut down.

They are very nice to look at and grow fast. I did not have any problems with "sucker shoots", they all grew upwards.  The trees also do take the wind very well, never any broken branches, etc.   If you need a quick fix, I would certainly recommend them.  Only downside is that they are not very long-lived.   

I would like to take a part-time in-house MT job.  Unfortunately, there a few jobs out there.  The local hospital has an ad for a full-time MT position.  I had applied there many years ago and withdrew my application.  The pay was quite low and the hours were not flexible at all.  For example, one hour for lunch meant one hour for lunch! 

I wondered if I should apply and tell them I am only interested in part-time, not full-time and see if they are interested.  Or should I just assume that they are still very rigid in their thinking?  I don't want to waste their time or mine but really would like to go in-house a few days a week at this point.

What do you think?  TIA

Well, I did it!  I start with SoftScript at the end of the month.  Although there are fears and all that, I have done the right thing getting out of the unhappy in-house job I was in.  It's a big gamble, but I feel right about it.

I'm posting here to tell you if you want an in-house job, check the job board at a certain hospital in Central Illinois, near Morton, IL.  A big, Catholic hospital.  I think there are actually 2 Transcription jobs open.  The benefist are great.  The rest of it is OK to absolutely unbearable.  You'll see.  I don't think I'm allowed to name the hospital.  But the job is on the job board of the hospital web site.  Good luck, I guess.  Pray for me, as I will for everyone who gave me advice. 

It depends on so many things.  I worked "in-house" (was actually working at home for a hospital that had in-house MT dept).  Got paid by the hour, so depending on your production, you might make more by working in-house (if you produced less), or more at home (if you had higher production).  It depends, too, on the hourly pay scale -- the hospital I worked for I think was pretty much known for lower pay, in all professions, at their hospital

However, with working at home, I always factored in $$ I was saving by not spending $$ for gas, etc., and since I did not drive, I did not have a separate car either (insurance, etc.), so this helped "raise" my salary.  Also, at home did not have to spend money for "work clothes", could wear my jeans, etc., again saving $$.

Also, even though I worked at home, and had "set hours", there was some lee-way in there, so if I felt tired, I could easily take a break and rest for a while -- much more relaxing.

I don't want them in mine.

one if my requirements was that there had to be a room that was decent enough to use for my office.  In order to qualify for the IRS home office deduction  you can't use your office as a bed room or anything else.  

I have the best view in the house in my office - I can see outside to the flower garden and also see the road so I can watch the people and cars going by during the day. 

He owns this house. It is too expensive for me to live here. It is an older home, needs work, expensive to heat. I work 5 pm to 2am. So evenings and nights. He puts kids to bed. I and kids wake up at 9am. Kids go to bed at 10pm.

And, there is nothing...I say N O T H I N G to rent in my daughter's school district (I've already moved her twice) and I am staying in this district til she graduates or if I am settled, for the duration of little kids' schooling.

Nope, don't have any interest in being Radiology Director of a 300+ bed hospital. Sorry.

Thanks for post.

We have a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom house, about 1600 sq. ft.  and I have my girl come every other week and pay her 30.00, she's here for 2 hours  I've had her for about 8 years now.  She's like a daughter to me.  Hope this helps.
