For Iowa their 12 cpl is good. IHP usually offers...
Posted By: MTing on 2007-12-05
In Reply to: Opinions please! I have been asked by a small rural hospital to do their overflow. SM - MyOwnMT
11 cpl to contractors. If you're from Iowa IHP should be one you recognize, their statewide.
The local service in Waterloo, pays their MTs 6 cpl, ridiculous. Hospitals paying hourly are still around $9 hourly.
It's the midwest, for those others who don't know but cost of living is nothing near other areas of the country.
Personally, I work for a national on the east coast and make 10 cpl employee status, far better than anything I've seen in my home state.

Especially for Iowa, that is pretty good. UI can get good over time, but that's because of the u

I wish you were in Iowa!
Take a deep breath. Unless you've got a USB monitor, which are really not at all common, the place you plug in your monitor should have nothing to do with where you plug in your foot pedal. You are likely looking at a bunch of "pin" connectors and assuming that they all plug into the same place. They don't. Usually, even with Dells, they're kinda marked as to what they're for. There should be a a sort of square where the monitor plugs in and it's shaped like a rhombus. I'm guessing that you've got a game-port foot pedal, and you'll need an adapter so that you can plug that into a USB port.

1.99 in SE Iowa today...I'm happy! (nm)
Well, you must live in Po-Dunk, Iowa, and not
you can survive on less. Having one's own account is NOT the same as being a 100% full-time employee, which is what I am.
You head-up-your-backside, horn-tootin' heifers who think you invented this profession, and are so high'n'mighty that you feel fit to tell everyone else how to live their lives and whether or not to stay in MT make me laugh. Do you know what 'faster & better' is gunna add up to in the not-so-distant future? Less pay per line, NOT more money.
Dream on, Bossy.
I'm the 23rd from Iowa to sign. nm

Iowa & Nebraska Medical Directories available
I hope I am allowed to post this here. I have an Iowa Medical Directory and a Nebraska Medical Directory which I was forced to purchase to do transcription for a certain company. They are no longer needed. If anybody can use them, please let me know.
Iowa/Nebraska Medical Directories
The Iowa Medical Directory is October 2006 and Nebraska is December 2006.
Iowa and Nebraska Medical Directories
The directories contain adresses, phone numbers, etc on each medical provider, clinics, and hospitals in the state.
Yes - I work for a small company in Iowa and

yer welcome. with the advent of computers, it's MUCH easier here in Iowa to get a coding job at
The fields have changed around, kinda. Stay home and CODE, not type.
weird..if you look up the profiles, the "guy from Iowa" is from New York..wonder if he origina
came from Iowa? I don't think Guy will win..thats too easy. It better NOT be that snotty Carissa..that is one show I'd NEVER watch. I like the "Iowa" guy.
Did you see where Andy from Iowa survived the first elimination round on that cooking show!
It's kinda like Survivor in that people get voted off... I think it's called America's Next Great Cooking Show Host or something. and the guy from Iowa (reminds me of Dudley Do-Right) stayed in there! WOOHOO!
Yes, yes and yes!!! I had so many offers...
after I graduated that I was shocked! The standard 2-year experience requirement was waived by every company I contacted.
Yes, M-Tec is totally a self-paced, self-study program, but there is also incredible 1-on-1 instructor support. The program is very comprehensive and definitely not easy but well worth every penny!
If you want a career as an MT, you can't go wrong with M-TEC. 
CPL offers
are usually set in motion by what the MTSO is receiving in pay from the facility. As a small MTSO, I am very much restricted by what the facilities are willing to pay me as a vendor. It is an unfortunate circumstance, but it is a sign of the times. There are MTs willing to the work for 8 CPL, and if not, the Nationals outsource it overseas. I think that sums it up in a nutshell....It is a shame, but it is where the industry has gone of late. EMR, VR and outsourcing cutting into what a MTSO can get from the facilities for line rates. Sad but true....I hope you find what you're looking for. 
I am not a CMT and I get job offers all of the
much unless you like having initials after your name. It is not like you can put it on your reports. XXX/xxx, CMT - can you? So no one but the company you work for (who probably doesn't care) and you will know... nobody else. Most CMTs complain they aren't compensated enough anyway, so who gives a hoot? The only benefit I see is having initials after your name, which unless you are in this field, who knows what that means? Sounds important, but to have to pay hundreds to test and then to fail only to have to pay hundreds to take it again????? I'd think that one over and over and over and over... JMO. A penny more a line??? Just seek out your own account and you'll make lots of extra pennies per line... believe me!
It is only because no one offers that anymore

I don't think anyone offers PT MTs benefits - sm
at least I have NEVER heard of any. I don't think I have ever even heard of any PT job that had benefits. All you can do is start making phone calls to said companies and ask them. Good luck.
Just because someone offers their opinion,...
and it differs from another's, does not make it negative. You didn't hear what you wanted to hear in my responses, but that does not mean I am being negative toward you. I just think you need to do your own work. Asking for help is one thing, and asking for a handout is entirely different.
You may not need all that MPWord offers.
I've looked at MP Word several times myself and it just more than I need, although in a different setting/situation, I may need all the options. If you have a choice and you have MS Word available to you, you will be fine. You should have an encryption method available to you; WinZip offers encryption with it's Pro version, about $50.
Just something else for you to consider.
When you take on too much work. Getting 2 PT job offers plus have FT with national (sm)
Two local doctors offering me 2-3 hours per day each, plus the FT (about 6 actual hours of typing a day) with a national.
One doctor is orthopedic, the other vascular surgeon (H&Ps in office). One is a mumbler, the other has a lisp. The national job is radiology (fairly easy - would be faster if I could master IT, though).
What should I do? Am afraid I will take on more than I can handle and at same time, refuse a job that I later will regret. I need the money, needless to say. Anyone ever face this?
I wonder if the state where you live offers
In Georgia they do have this, and a person who is convicted of a felony and completes the sentence requirements then has their rights restored, such as voting and the ability to officially answer "No" when asked about a felony conviction. Supposedly the information would not be available to a potential employer and most others, though I believe some are still privy to the information.
Does anyone know if IT offers a trial period? sm
From the comments on this post and the post I placed yesterday, I am convinced I would like to try IT. I hate to spend $189 though and not like it but I do not see on their web site where they offer a money back trial period. Also, do you know if you download it and have it immediately or if it comes in the mail? Thanks to all who have offered their opinions, it really helps!
Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl

Only do Free offers - no cc needed!
Take a look at my blog again - even in free offers they are trying to sell you something, you simply say "No Thank you". Also, I included a couple of links that are how-to guides. E-mail me if you need more help or visit the forum. Best wishes!
Have 2 job offers, one pays 9 cents per 65...sm
character line and the other 11 cents per 85 character line. I am not sure how to figure the difference so am not sure which might be the better offer line rate wise. I would SO appreciate some help!
MQ offers PT employees benefits
You have to work 24 hours a week to be eligible. I don't carry the insurance, so I don't know much else about it, but I'm sure if you read through the MQ board, someone on there will mention it and you can email them.
2 separate companies/offers

Medgarde offers PT and just noticed that they ask if you own Lanier.
nm
Obviously, she can or the offers wouldn't be coming out of the woodwork.
I've been turning down offers lately, too.
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.
U.S. offers them medical school at a discount
if they remain in the country and practice in out of the way places for a period of time before returning to their country or to a higher wage earning position within the medical establishment.
This is cool...ShortHand offers monthly SM
subscriptions. I have a free trial right now and was worried I wouldn't have the whole $99 after my trial, but I can buy a subscription and save for another month! That's so cool! I didn't know they did that. Didn't know if others knew, so thought I'd share. :)

Have you seen: Internship offers 3cpl on Job Seekers Bd?
Even as an intern, that should be considered criminal. I don't understand what some companies are thinking when they do that sort of thing.
Just a thought.
Bytescribe offers a 14-day trial (DocShuttle).

Stedman's offers 1/4ly now? Didn't know that. Love it anyway! nm

I received 2 job offers from posting here just last week.

This is not the only field that offers flexibility or work from home status. Congrats on your raise! It's nice to know someone else likes this line of work....
Switch offers free trial so can see if it is what

Stedman's offers great discounts, too..

Is there a college in your area that offers training for x-ray techs?
If so, go to the college bookstore and check out the textbooks they have for the x-ray tech courses. There should be lots of good information there.
If you have any anatomy books, study them, not just the major bones, but the landmarks on the bones like the greater and lesser trochanter of the femur, tibial spines, things like that. Also study the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the shoulders, wrists, knees, and ankles. MRIs cover a lot of that.
There are a lot of online anatomy sites if you don't have any books of your own, or you can check with your local library.
Good luck! Radiology is a great field. I love it.
Does anyone know of a site that offers Free dictation samples? n/m
Thanks.
