Management staff is awesome, plenty of work, pay always on time. My experience with them has been that if I do quality work, keep my line count committment, and just let them know if I am having a problem (sick, etc) and can't work, I have no problems with them. I have been there almost three years, and love it.
And before anyone accuses me, NO, I am not management. I am an MT (employee status)

Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
Wonderful, got it--I see now it does work here too to make things smaller
thank you, very kind of you to tell me. I've made eveything on this page smaller now. Muy bien. Happy typing.
And it is my place -- I work for MQ too and
if you don't like it and it isn't changing for you like you want it as quick as you want, get out!
I think all those who are happy with MQ are getting tired of hearing your same old sad story all the time.
If you can't change the company (duh, who thought they could) and it still doesn't suit ya, get out! Leave! Believe me, we don't want you there! You are free to go!
ask the place you work for
PET scans are simple FDG-18 radiopharmaceutical.
We must work at the same place. LOL (nm)

Need a quiet place to work without .
Trying to avoid interruptions in the home.:) Any of you work from an added room or trailer that you turned into an office? Closing the door is not an option. Would need to actually leave the house even if it is to go to a room added on or to a camper in the yard. Wondering if others have done the same thing. I saw in the paper where a company rents out an office for a day, a week, or however long you need it for. Wondering if that would be worth it just to have the chance to work in peace.
MQ was a good place to work
I have been with them for 6 years and before that with another company. I have been extremely happy working for MQ; but too many things are changing and it is a very uncomfortable feeling. I wish I still had my old office to work from but unfortunately I have no say.
I might be checking out the grass on the other side to see if it is really any greener. What do I have to lose? I am no longer happy.
I wish you well and hopefully your office won't be closed and you are transferred into unfamilar territory.
Anybody know of a place you can work just weekends (sm)
With going to DQS looks like the OT/bonus is gone. Personally I can't make it without the extra (supporting 4 on one salary). Need to fine a place to work weekends only. Anyone have any suggestions? 
They keep advertising. Bad place to work
As if being Indian-based bad enough. No Thanks!!!
apparently you like the place you work for...
for the most part. Maybe you should contact your supervisor and let her/him know you would be OK with mentoring a less experienced MT, but let them know you don't want someone else's junk to count against your QA score. Good luck! 
Great place to work! sm
They are very helpful and encouraging and give you plenty of time to get up to speed. I have been with other national companies and they are the best. You'll be happy there!
Have bedroom only for work place
Sit to where I can see out to the mailbox and my driveway. I have my television in here though and also husband wanted to join me so he has his computer desk right behind me. He could have had his own room but he wanted to be close to his honey. It works out really well.
sounds like we work for the same place...sm
I have been with the same company for about 5 years now. What I do is take the first letter of each word for a phrase and make an expander. Ex: The patient was admitted to the hospital, I make the Expander with tpwatth. I have found this the easiest on the platform I use as I was not sure if anything like InstantText or others would work. You don't have to assign the expander to a specific dictator so this helps with the "generic phrases". For medications that are capitalized, I also make an expansion. Ex: Tylenol is expansion tylenol. Also have them for drugs that are the same prescription all the time, aspirin 81 mg daily is a81, aspirin 325 mg daily is a325, aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily is a81p. I even made it for when it is capitalized in a list, Aspirin 81 mg daily is aa81. Every little thing helps. I do have expansions for doctors that say the same thing over and over, I just make sure I proofread very carefully. Try to use abbreviations you can remember. I even have them for b.i.d., etc.
Tell you what the place I work for started
I work for a national doing a hospital here in my town. The hospital told the dictators no more cell phone calls just because of what you are talking about. I remember when they were allowed to use and all the cutting out so big gaps left. It will work if someone in charge puts that in force.
The place I work already offers 800 numbers for all
inside accounts and most outside accounts as well. Not all are not good to the MTs.
Anyone really know if allocation of work takes place
I wonder if anyone has true knowledge of work being allocated to a particular MT or MTs. Supervisors possibly who have done this or have witnesses this could you please tell me if this occurs or if paranoia is setting in?
It seems to me that this is wrong for important reasons that could stand up as an issue for being reprimanded by anyone who does it. It is taking money out of one person's paycheck and putting it in another, after all, how sleazy is that???
This is a medical transcription business. We should all be accountable. What are we, working for the mob???
I agree. It's a great place to work,
most places are very slow around the holidays. And the owner is a great lady.
I work for a place that pays per word (sm)
and to figure it you just get the total word count (using the word count feature in Word). You would have to find out if the 1000 words is based on "a word is a word," or if there's some "formula" such as suggested in another reply, like every 5 characters counts as a word and does that include spaces in that count, blah, blah, blah. I don't know. If it's just straight up $5.00 per actual 1000 words, then I don't think that's good at all. I make .0085 per word, and I've figured out that it would be an average of 8.5 to 9.5 cents per line. Anyway, if "a word is a word" at least, $5.00 per 1000 words would probably equal around 5-6 cents per line or so.
Transcend is a great place to work
I can't believe all this negativity! I just love my job with Transcend. From the recruiter to my TL and ROM every single thing I have been promised has happened! I'm very happy! Yes, you do have to produce - but what MLS position don't you? Transcend also gives you the tools you need to succeed and will help you get better, faster and making more $. Stop bashing this company! They truly are awesome!!!! And the promote from within! They are so big on internal growth!!!!
The place I work for went from no patient names at all to
now it is accepted and used all the time. Go figure!
I disagree. The best place to work is a hospital that has their MTs at home.

Plastic surgery only works if there's something there to work with in the first place.
She's been trying to look like her dad's "golden girls," Heather Locklear and Farrah Fawcett, for years, but it's not working, obviously never will.
You're right about the "prehistoric" part! The place I used to work (sm)
uses Lanier, and it's a mess. It's WORSE than prehistoric. It was down more than it was up. It was also not at all friendly for at-home MTs, either.
Try Softscript. They work with new MTs. Great place to at least get a foot in the door!

Sounds like a good place, where you work! BTW: the other 2 posts are not mine
Somebody is cloning my username now and posting. Guess on a board like this anyone can troll. So, I guess I will change my username again, so as not to be taken the wrong way. Wow, people really have a lot of time on their hands!
Used to work at a place that measured productivity by minutes. Minimum requirement was 90 min. SM
in an 8.5 hour day or 7.5 productive hours (minus 30 minutes for lunch and two 15 min. breaks). Don't know if that helps. Also I've heard that it will take the average productive MT twice as long to type as to dictate, i.e. a 5 minute job will take an MT 10 minutes to type without interruptions. So figure 90 minutes of dictation is going to take at least three hours to type and probably a little longer if you figure in interruptions like phone calls, kids, etc.
For me, I would probably say 120-130 minutes would equal an 8 hour day.
Don't know if I've helped, but I hope so. 
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
Horrible, horrible place to work. nm
If everything is wonderful---
Why were you complaining???
That is just wonderful (sm)
No more waiting for months. Congrats again!
How wonderful! Can I ask...
How did you go about this? Are you a parent, and if so did you wait until kids were older? Not trying to be nosy, but I have been thinking about this a lot. My kids are still relatively young, but as they get closer to both being in school full-time, I have been thinking about going back to school and studying something in the healthcare field. I think becoming a doctor is too far out of my reach, although in another lifetime, that would have been my dream. But, maybe a PA, or some type of therapist, or a nuclear medicine tech?
Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
How wonderful!

That's WONDERFUL!
:)
I got a wonderful new job! nm

We know, we know, you are wonderful at all you do!

How wonderful!
Happy mother's day!
That is wonderful
The hospital where I worked before going to MQ 10 years ago would always play it up big time. I miss that, but MQ has made a bit of a dent this year (well, I say a bit because I haven't won anything LOL). Food and a new reference book -- can't beat that!!! (well, um, maybe the Tiffany bracelet would :-)
Wonderful!
That is wonderful. I love the doctors who seem as if they have a good personality and care about not only their patient's but also their transcriptionist. It is always nice to be recognized as a human being! Kudos to that doctor and keep up the good work Patti! You are obviously doing something very wonderful for them!
Oh, how wonderful! Thank you very much!

What a wonderful day...NOT
My one doc got laryngitis on Tuesday...he's still dictating but only in a whisper. Yet, when he had part of his voice, I couldn't understand a darn thing! Whispering was definitely better. LOL
I took a break from my other job to run to the store...15 minutes max. Put our puppy outside because I don't quite trust her in the house by herself yet. Came out of the store and my BATTERY WAS DEAD!!! Didn't have the strength to open the hood of the truck all the way (I'm no spring chicken), then couldn't get it closed because I'm too short.
Thanks heavens for cell phones. Beeped hubby. He was 50 miles away. Called 1 son. He was 30 miles away. Called foster son. Wow. He was home!!!...but sick with the flu and he only lived a mile away. After waiting 45 minutes, he finally arrived. Surely he would be able to get it going...nope not even with the extra battery. Truck still sitting in the parking lot. Poor pooch was so very happy to see me come home.
On top of this, it's my birthday {{{shudder}}}
I think I'll just stay home and keep working from now on. 
Wonderful!
Hapy to hear that!
Wonderful job
You inspire me!!
What a wonderful
response to people who are new to the profession. It's good to see someone give some great helpful advice to someone who wants to get into the field. Good for you! I was new once and I remember how hard it was to enter the profession. It's still hard to obtain new accounts because this is such and invisible job, but I love working at home. I bet all those newbies appreciate your advice!
That's wonderful...
Never, ever should have been outsourced in the first place. That is just NOT SAFE for a million reasons. Congrats!
Wonderful!!
Never been happier to switch myself. All in all i am saving over $100 a month and the only time my net went out for longer than an hour was when a line was cut and AT&T customers were out too. It is a shame that AT&T was allowed to buy up the smaller companies. Just ruined the whole thing.
Wonderful...
This sounds like it may be just what I need. Where can I get one of these?
Thanks for such good advice...I havenever heard of this before!
That would be wonderful
to produce like that. I agree somewhat with the poster who does doctor office notes. I worked for a medium-sized clinic and did very well. I had one psychologist who would dictate an eight to ten page initial assessment, and then when the testing was done, he would have you copy the assessment (mind you being paid for those lines again), and add the testing information. I made out very well with him. I also had a lot of standards under the Objective and Treatment Plan, which helped with my line counts. I just saved my format in autocorrect and popped it in with the information already there. When I transcribed the initial assessment, I saved the whole thing in autocorrect under the patient's last name, and when the testing came through just popped it up and added to it. Very easy lines.
You are wonderful!
That worked! Not sure how it got marked, but whatever! Thank you so much!
Wonderful, thanks
Thank you for sharing. I know I'd be using this a lot :)
