Well! I screwed that one up pretty good - stuck my email in there, spelled a word wrong...LOLOL....just beautiful.....anyway, I do like Sten-Tel and they have been great to me so far!
Sten-Tel
I think the rate of pay for beginners is kind of low - I heard 3 cpl for VR/6 cpl for typing....I get a little higher pay because I had acute care. The platform is called Escription - very very easy.
Sten-Tel
I am a beginner and was just offered 7.75 cpl for transcription work and 3.75 cpl for editing. I think it depends on how you score. Just my opinion.
Sten-Tel
WOW - I'm sorry to hear that!! Sure sounds characteristic of this business, unfortunately. Thank you very much for the information. Please let me know if you think of anything else. 
Sten-Tel
7.5 cents a line is very good for a beginner. You should be lucky you got offered a position, since most companies want experience

Does anyone work for Sten-Tel who could help me out. This is my first day.

Try Sten-Tel
They hire newbies. I can also email you some info.
Here's why I wouldn't use Sten-Tel
They also do transcription, which I believe to be a huge conflict of interest. I may be a bit paranoid, but if my clients ever figured out that they could use the same system and get cheaper services from the root company, what would keep them from ditching me and going with Sten-Tel?
If they are a reputable company I doubt that they would actually contact my clients directly, but you never know when your clients are going to decide to try and underbid you by going with a big company like this.
Try Sten Tel Transcription
Google them for their contact info.
No work at Sten Tel
 No work for weeks and nobody knows why (supposedly)........ ..................... ......................... ................... ............................. .................... That's ok...I'm gonna start testing elsewhere  . The pay stinks anyhow.
Love Sten-Tel
No line count required if an IC. So far they have been the best company I have ever worked for.
Sten-Tel out of Massachusetts
I'm looking for any information I can find out about Sten-Tel based out of Springfield, Massachusetts? Are ICs obligated to a set schedule, set number of hours/lines, etc. Do they have a lot of ESL dictators? How flexible are they?
Thanks tons!! I'll look forward to hearing from you.
Sten-Tel question
Can anyone give me any info on working as IC for Sten-Tel - good or bad?
It depends on which Sten-tel. There are several of them.
I've worked for two of them. One was not very good but I was a newbie, so I tolerated it until finding something else. The other one was pretty good, but I had a better offer elsewhere so I wasn't even there a week.
Which one are you looking at?
Testing For Sten-Tel
Has anyone tested for Sten-Tel? The second test for acute care is like listening to a auctioneer!! Uggh...Has anyone actually passed this test?
Hugs to all!

Anyone work for Sten-Tel?
Do any of you work for Sten-Tel? I was thinking of accepting their offer, but could not find any recent posts about this company. Would appreciate any information what it is like to work for them.
Thanks! 
Sten-Tel Mass. - out of work?
Anyone else with Sten-tel on the ASP platform out of work or is it just me that is sitting here twiddling my thumbs?
I like Sten-Tel, working out of folders. I have worked Vianeta before and it was slow and
:l
MDI Florida, Medical INK, AccuStat Carolinas, Proveras, Sten-Tel, Focus,
and I think that is all. Maybe someone else can list others - these are the ones I know.
Good luck.
I think they are actually dictating to a transcription service (Baker Sten-Stel) via C-phone
then they e-mail back to the doctor's office for me to type. So maybe it will go back to them for QA. Why I don't know. This work cameto me from a temp service and they obviously did not know much. I will find out Monday morning. Thanks for your input. I will more than likely be on this site screaming for help. The AOL question was just in case I can get them to use my home office next time, because I just switched to DSL through AOL and I was hoping that would would work with Express Scribe, my footpedal and their software.
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
Now Ive heard that before.:) nm

That's not what I have heard...

What I heard...
And is strictly speculation... Phillips will dump MQ and Spheris will snap them up... and we all know what happens to those who work for Spheris! Can you say hello Bangalore? 
I heard it too AND

Not heard anything about it
sorry
I am sure you have heard this before..
there is no such thing as a dumb question.
you are asking questions other people wish they had the answers to but are afraid to ask.
and you are correct in your assumptions, however, your on-call status might have parameters; for instance, between the hours of midnight and 8 a.m.
Anyone heard of LTS, INC?
I was thinking of applying at LTS, INC but I was not sure if they were reputable! If anyone has ever heard anything about them, let me know! Thanks!!
What I heard
I heard September 11th is the day we are all supposed to boycott.
This is what I heard is better to do
Of course, we all need gas, and as another poster noted, just not buying gas on a certain day will not work.
What I heard is, buy your gas from a small-time operation, as opposed to Exxon, BP, etc. This will cause them to lower their prices, and the smaller companies with follow by lowering theirs.
Also, noticed yesterday that gas has come down by about .50 in my area. I wasn't surprised, because when I have to go out, there's much, much less traffic...I would estimate by 75% of normal, so folks are boycotting in a way already... cutting down on their trips, combining trips, etc., because they just draw the line at the point prices had risen.
The last I heard
Huntsville Hospital transcription was a pill to work for. I worked with a lady one time who had quit the hospital because after they had agreed to give her vacation at a certain time months in advance they told her she couldn't take it and she had to cancel her vacation plans. They may have improved the way they do business by now but not sure. I would do more research if at all possible.
Heard something
Instead of the bonus being in the 10/1 paycheck, it is supposed to be in the 11/15 paycheck. Of course part of all of it was that you have to be with the company in order to receive it...you leave, you lose. Only half of the employees qualified, which is curious. I know a lot of people left after they restructured they pay plan and the hew hires get their $1000 bonus so I'm confused as to how it saves them money. I guess they are thinking they are about to have another exodus when the bonuses are given out and the new people won't be there long enough to qualify for the next quarterly bonus.
d~~~~> scratching my head
Anybody heard of
Any information would be helpful. TIA
Yea, but what is said and what is heard are different. NM
NM
I heard that!
Just a few that get to me...along with the phrase "24/7, 365"... Not sure why that one gets on my nerves, but it does! "Team player" is another one! and the best yet...to me, my boss uses the phrase that she is going to "tickle" something...meaning mark it for future reference (I think).. not really sure about that phrase either!
Must not have done much. I never heard of it and I'm okay this a.m.
I usually get socked by everything down the pike with my AVG.
What is it about? Never heard of it.

I have never heard of them, but you should
try posting this on the companies board and maybe someone there can help. Also, it might not be soon enough for you. Try googling the words "opinions on Entente Health Care" and that might help. Good luck!
Never heard of them. Sorry. nm

Yes I have heard of this, but the
pay was very low.
I have heard that it is about 85%
85% for no spaces compared to spaces being counted. Not sure if that is a correct number. I know there is a chart somewhere that breaks it all down.
Never heard of them
That is odd. I live in Arkansas and have never heard of them. Are they new? Let us know if you do hear anything about them.
I have not heard of this before? Can you tell us more.
and in fact wondered to myself about specializing in maintaining flower gardens for the sick and elderly who haven't the strength to do it but want it just the same.
I have never heard of these, but this is exactly what I need. I'm going to ask about them. Have
xx
sorry I mean heard
nm
I heard that also
I believe it has something to do with benefiting farmers and their crops, but I could be wrong. I think that was the reason it got started in the first place.
I heard about them
I heard about this company, giving all their work to India and not paying any one on time. Please be aware of this guys!
I have never heard of that but perhaps...sm
Hibiclens would be better than Betadine, I would think....plus Betadine stains and Hibiclens does not. *S*
Fresh blade to shave that area though - I know this because I no longer have the bumps since using the fresh blades.
