I understand what you are saying, but this is a highly skilled sm
field, not "washing dishes" or even "working at Wallyworld." Yes, there is VR and other things out there making this our jobs easier and in very rare cases, null and void, but this industry STILL requires skilled MTs who will pick up what VR and computers just cannot do.
I do VR on a regular basis and there are so many gross errors it isn't even funny. I would say 50% of any given document contains error that would be a detriment to direct patient care.
I received a newsletter recently from my company that stated this industry is growing and that the industry is having a very difficult time finding experienced, good MTs to do all of the work given to any given company. That, to me, was very, very positive in the way of where our jobs will be in 10 years.
I don't see in 10 years VR or foreigners taking our jobs. In 30 to 50, maybe, but not anytime soon.
So, a company offering 7 cpl to an experienced MT is a disgrace (especially if they take it). On new grads, I think 4 cpl is just fine because I also taught MT at a local college and there was no way that any of my students (graduates) could do this from home without a mentor/QA, etc., full-time for at least a year until they could be on their own. They would make way too many mistakes.
It goes both ways. Not all those with positive experiences are skilled or professional.
Some are in it for the referral bonus, some are company recruiters posting anonymously. It's really hard for anyone to tell the motives, but you can usually tell from the way a person posts who is on the up and up from those who are just spewing sour grapes and those bucking for the referral bonus. I tend to believe negative posts that don't personally insult other posters over positive posters that completely rule out any type of problem. If a person is saying that their company is perfect and there are NO problems, that should send up red flags.
Treating when they are not there is...
the wrong thing to do. This is why lice are getting resistant to the treatments available. While the lice themselves are hard to see, the nits are not. If you don't see any nits or lice, then your child doesn't have them. I would just keep a close daily watch and only treat if there is an infestation. Additionally, if you child DOES get lice, you have to do much more than just wash the hair with Nix. You have to literally tear your house apart vacuuming everything, bagging up stuffed toys for 2 weeks, washing all the bedding in hot water, etc. And don't forget the seats in the car. I would simply start by finding out what the daycare's policy is for lice. Before we moved the school our kids attended had a very politically correct lax policy on head lice. They told me that it wasn't fair to exclude children from school just because they had nits (lice did warrant a call to the home). But in my mind, if there are nits, there HAS to be lice, right? They would let kids stay at school who literally had nits falling out of their hair. It was DISGUSTING. What boggled my mind was how a parent could not see that sick mess in their child's hair and not do anything about it. I could see the mess from 10 feet away.
That's about the time my hospital started treating its -nm

Treating private health information like a trade is wrong any way you look at it.
Let's see how you feel when you've been violated because your private health information was distributed for any and all purposes.

Katie, some people are much more skilled than SM
others, some work harder than others, some work faster than others, some work longer than others.
First off, I do not because, I choose not to work a full 40-hour work week, week after week.
But by multiplying my own hourly earnings: It is very possible to make comfortably more than $50, even more than $60K/year as an employee of a national putting out good-quality work (even transcribing lots of ESLs!) IF:
You are fully skilled.
You are working on accounts you are nicely familiar with and have all your templates et cetera set up for.
The accounts do not run out of work (a biggie) so that you can get 8 hours of production within a reasonable workday (should not have to spend 12 hours a day married to the offce to get it).
You are paid somewhere in the upper 20ish percent of the rate range (note I didn't say have to have top pay).
You are either an exceptionally fast typist or use an Expander a great deal and take advantage of computer features.
You work hard.
You work smart and don't waste time where it doesn't count.
You have some talent for the work.
You WORK A FULL 40-HOUR WORK WEEK.
Reasons why some don't even approach that include:
Not fully skilled. Just think, for instance, of those who don't use an expander. And a skilled worker will produce many lines in the time it takes another to look up one term.
Not familiar with accounts.
Account frequently runs out of work--and MT accepts less income instead of walking.
Is a whizbang registered nurse/racecar driverccur et cetera, but lack talent for THIS work.
Doesn't work HARD and push for high productivity. Just working is not the same as working HARD (it is tiring).
Has enough work but doesn't put in a solid 8 hours of production per day (although might think so, maybe forgets to subtract time spent complaining here from the work day).
Katie, although average incomes have gone down significantly, a lot more people are making decent money than posts on this forum give any idea of. Those people don't spend a whole lot of time here, though. Guess why! Best wishes for your own good income.
It is a shame that it takes such a skilled..sm
person to be a MT yet the jobs are just pitiful. The companies can't provide enough work. The pay is pitiful. Why isn't this profession looked at with more prestige? I mean it is sad when you have been an MT for years and can't make a living doing this even with 2 jobs.
Long-term skilled unit?
ss
You're a big girl and a skilled worker. SM
If you haven't resolved this problem already, go ahead and do it this morning. You know, as a high-skilled MT you should be making at least 3 times whatever your local minimum wage is. Best wishes.
Futurenet
they are WONDERFUL...treat you with respect and dignity.
futurenet
what is there web site???
FutureNet
Does anybody know anything about FutureNet? Good or bad.
Futurenet.
Good = pay well and on time.
Bad = only have DD if you live in certain areas. Otherwise you get it in the mail or pay $20 to get it overnighted.
Bad = more ESLs than you can shake a stick at.
Good = excellent program.
Bad = some really rude QA.
Bad = no bennies whatsoever unless you live in CA.
There's some good and bad, but so are most places.
FutureNet
Is FutureNet hiring now?
futurenet
Do you know what happened to futurenet. I worked for them and we always had tons of work and now it seems like there is never any work. Did they overhire or just lose accounts.
Futurenet
I used to work for them before getting my own account. I worked for them for a year and a half. E-mail me with any direction questions.
futurenet
I have accepted an IC position at futurenet. First, are they picking up on work?
Next, what about the Wavpedal? They said Dictran USB WavPedal. The price on that is around 219.00; is that an average price. I was shocked. This is the first time I have done IC in a long time.
Thanks!
Good answers and becoming a skilled MT takes surprisingly long, but SM
although 5 years may be about average, there's an old saying about how some people have 20 years' experience and some have one year repeated 20 times. If you want to cut that 5 years down VERY substantially, work full time (a conscientious full time, not just slopping thru the day) and push for new work types and accounts as woon as you've milked the old ones for all you can learn from them. Plus, a reality is that availability of the Web as a resource now helps people function at a much higher level earlier than previously.
What future demand is there for higher-skilled MTs? Inquiring mind wants to know. SM
Seriously--with computers taking over the keyboarding and the electronic medical record replacing much (just HOW much?) of the currently dictated verbage, what need will healthcare providers have that we can train to fill at least the same remuneration if not better? What potential is there for remote work? I confess I'm very fond of my current commute down the hall to my office, and googling MT in England, which has had the EMR for some time now, suggests it's high time I figure out how I'm going to keep it. Any thoughtful or knowledgeable answers would be greatly appreciated.
Futurenet answers...sm
Good - Pay is on time and correct. Schedule is very,very flexible. Pay per line is better than most. Great format and program.
Bad - Work for the past several months is very, very hard to get. They have overhired EXTREMELY on most accounts and pay day has been about 1/6 of what it once was. No benefits whatsoever. Direct deposit ONLY if you sign up as SE (but then that cuts out all you can claim on your taxes as IC), many, many ESLs which some are very, very bad. QA is rude. If you don't do the DD, you have to pay $25.00 for UPS to overnight or just wait until regular mail delivers it and depending on where you are that may be several extra days.
These are just my experiences.

I agree. I have a friend who works for Futurenet. SM
They only direct deposit certain people, no rhyme or reason for it. She has her check overnighted every pay day, which costs her $50.00 a month. It was supposed to have been delivered 12/23, but it got hung up in one of the terminals. She won't get it until tomorrow, 12/27, not in time for Christmas. It's just really bad business. I would never work for a company that did not offer DD.
Superior Global Solutions and Futurenet...sm
I heard Superior Global Solutions does not get your pay to you. Futurenet, I have read here does not have any benefits and runs out of work. Also here are a few other bad ones I have seen and read on here: SoftScript, Spheris, and good/bad about Transcend.
The good ones in which I have read have been all of the MDIs. Have not had any experience with them though..Good luck!
When I worked for FutureNet 2 years ago they used but they loaded it themselves. nm

I think most MTx are highly
their jobs. I really believe to be a good MT, you have to be very smart. We don't get the recognition we deserve!.
I would highly doubt that considering
you had been "riding" your horse all day. That stench will carry for awhile!
Highly recommend M-TEC!!
I had job offers right out of school with a number of companies. Their training was right on. The support you get from them is terrific. I have also personally met both Kathy and Susan who, in addition to being great instructors, are also very nice ladies! Go for it and be prepared to work hard! :-)
I highly recommend
you quit leaching and GET YOUR OWN ACCOUNTS, this way you'll get what you feel you're worth, okay? I know you expect this and expect that, and there are posters here who think what you're asking for is totally within line and shame on ANY MTSOs who won't accommodate YOU! To that end I say, E-MAIL THEM and fill out a job application, and have THEM pay you the executive wages you expect. Yeah, like they're really going to. Gheesh! And don't worry, I wouldn't hire you on a bet. I'm looking to and intend to make money, not lose it on a SC who's got delusions of grandeur!
I highly recommend WW
I do WW on line and love it. However, some people really need the meeting support to stay on track. I lost all my weight on line, about 40 pounds, with the last 10 by joining local meetings for three months just so I could achieve "Lifetime Status", which I did. You never have to pay for any meetings after reaching your goal/Lifetime unless you go over your goal by 2# and you must weigh-in at least once a month. By achieving lifetime, you get a discount for your on-line subscription/E-tools. E-tools and the support of the forums keeps me on track and accountable so far. I have maintained for a couple months now after achieving my goal.
I don't see it as a "diet" either. It a change of lifestyle. I eat differently and do not plan to go back to my unhealthy eating style. You can eat anything you want too as long as you plan for it and/or account for it in your weekly points. Believe me, I feel if you have the desire and stick to the program, WW can work! :) My cholesterol levels are all WNL for the first time in many, many years too. :D
Best wishes.
You think? Highly doubt it.
These people are getting promoted. LOL
I, of course, was being highly sarcastic.
Wow. No sense of humor? Seems this place can do that to some.
Cheers, luv, cheers.
Yah it proves how HIGHLY intelligent she is.
was for adults? You go girl? What are you 17? Sounds like something my daughter says.
For you happy highly productive MQ MTs
Help those of us who are struggling by giving us some pointers on what you are doing to be so successful and happy. I am very discouraged. I do not want to have to start over with a new company. I have 15 years experience, 8 of those with MQ. Since DQS, I cannot get quota. Never had a problem before, so I am not understanding.
Please give me any suggestions that might increase my productivity. And before all the comments of "stay off the board" begin - I am not working today. I do have some self discipline.
Feel flattered they think highly of you. That is the
a
I highly doubt that is the reason.
I mean, how many people truly observe that holiday and think I need to get all the work done that I can now because it is Veteran's day in 2 days. It's not like there is a Veteran's day meal like Thanksgiving or presents like Thanksgiving.
Of course she didn't. I highly doubt
Some people just can't stand for this board to be quiet, so they either post a dumb POLL question or some other nonsense. Now they've resorted to posting outright lies. This is totally absurd. I guess the next post will be that they are letting inmates process checks for banks at night...or work at day care centers. Sheesh! The people on this board never cease to amaze me.
It's a sad day when a highly educated doctor can't
I'm talking epistaxis here, ok...not that hard of a word. She won't even put forth the effort to pronounce words correctly, especially medications, which in my opinion is downright dangerous. I wouldn't want her for my doctor...way to dangerous of a dictator. BTW, I never, ever guess on a medication, even if I am confident about what she MEANS to say...so always end up sending hers to proofing...okay, I'll get off my  now...good day all!!!
I use IT. I highly recommend you have it installed.
date element in Meditech is F6, I think. Press F keys all the way. Then, try alt and the F keys all the way down and then control and F keys to see what their functions are. You can jot them down on paper and make it into a toolbar by taping it to the keyboard. Now that I think of it, if you have a Help Desk, they may have a copy of the F key functions to send you.
And also, you will need a speed typing engine which will be well worth the money.
25+ years ago, I'd have recommended it highly - sm
-- as it was recommended to me. It was an excellent fit for about 10-12 years, but then when managed healthcare came on scene, it not only ruined medical care as we once knew it, but also our livelihoods. Wish I'd followed my OTHER friend's advice, and become a court reporter. She's still working, still not outsourced to India, and she makes good money -- working about 3-4 days a week. Put her kids through college, etc.
Woulda', coulda', SHOULDA!
