Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

I'm getting a regular full-time job outside my home.
For 3 or 4 years now, I've been fighting to be able to stay home and work a regular schedule (yeah, right) to take care of family. I was given a sort of intervention recently that I've become a very unhappy person who is always working or waiting for work or worrying about work. I don't laugh or have fun and I've isolated myself. I'm certainly not better off than when I worked in an office and I'm less free if most ways. It's not a good or profitable trade-off anymore. I'm looking forward to separating my home and work life, and to be able to sleep at night again.
Sorry, I meant didn't have to do it at home full time

I've done it a couple of time to a nearby state SM
and a bunch of times to a nearby relative when my house was temporarily unlivable. My company loaded the programs on my laptop for me (but with a previous employer we did copy them from home when I wanted to try working on my new laptop).
I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, and a little electronic doohicky that allows my laptop to work off somebody else's computer (unfortunately I don't travel enough to justify subscribing to my own mobile service, so I could work in the car for instance).
Anyway, it's an easy matter these days. After loading the programs I've never felt a need to bother my employer with details of just where I'm working, and they've never displayed any interest either. I did buy a little $20 folding table from Office Depot so I could set up where and at a height that suited me.
I've used my laptop to MT for about 5 years, full-time. Couldn't
I love being portable, plus I have a small working space. It's great transcribing on the deck (or at the beach) on nice days. Have never had any technical issues; there's always some sort of adapter thingie that's available for whatever comes up.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Has anyone breast fed while trying to work at home, can you do this and still work full time?
It seems like the more literature I read on the subject, the longer it seems to take, especially in the beginning when you are breast feeding every two hours, or does it really just depend on the baby?
Depends. Is it strictly transcribing? Is all patient info provided so you don't waste time? Any d
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

I enjoy being alone at home, but I've got one home sick from school already.
One on one with a kid is nice, too.
This summer has been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a moment to myself for three months because all of my kids were home traipsing their friends through the house and yard. My husband switched his work schedule, too, so he's around more than usual. However, I like not having to do two loads of dishes and four loads of laundry a day. There are no toys or clutter dragged out everywhere. I can clean the house first thing in the morning, and it stays clean until everyone gets home at night.
I even got to relax with a cup of coffee and watch TV for half an hour this morning, something I liked for a change instead of cartoons or kids' movies. I signed up for an online class that I've been wanting to take. I can exercise without being interrupted. Yesterday, I went to the mall and spent all my saved up gift cards. I got some clothes, books, bath stuff, and a new coffee mug. My work gets done a lot faster, too. Call me nuts, but I've never had the luxury of being alone in the house for 14 years. It's kinda nice. I love my family with all my heart, but I love having a few hours to myself each week, too.
Except now the cat and dogs have been acting weird since the kids went back to school. They must think that I need someone or something to clean up after and correct behavior on. They're getting into everything and racing around the house behind me.
I've got a couple, too! :D
My sistern went to high school with a girl who was known throughout high school as just "Cindy". Upon graduation, they made everyone use their full names, and hers was actually "Cinderella"!
I once saw a pt. named "Precious Jewel _____" . I'm sure she got teased a lot in school!
So far in my life I've known a Hope, a Faith, a Charity, and Honor.... the most unusual of the 4 names.
Once typed for a doctor who, whenever he did a report on a pt. named Ying Lo, he'd starting singing, "Ying Lo, sweet char-i-ot....!"
My siblings & I were all avid readers as kids - we'd read anything: the dictionary, cereal boxes, cook books, even the phone book. In the phone book, my brother once found the name, "Itty Bitty Boo". (Sounds like something you'd call a kitten!)
part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I've tried phentermine a couple
different times. the first time I did great and lost 15 lbs. I've kept the weight off even without the pills but the second time I tried it I didn't loose anything. I've started it again hoping to shed the last 10 lbs and I feel like it's making me really moody. I was hoping that it'd give me energy and it hasn't...this sedentary job just makes me sleepy!
I've had it a couple of times.
Doctor gave me a sheet of exercises to do on my own which just amounted to moving my head and/or eyes around in different positions. It can be just a horrible thing to have. Yours is probably worse than mine if you have to "have therapy."
I've used it for a couple of years now - sm
It's not really a typing program - Transnet is just the way to send the files over the Internet - you download the file, transcribe it, then sign it off. I do the downloading on one computer then type in Word on another computer. Works really well but has to have its own foot pedal (darn that Dictaphone!).
Are you full-time?
I was just wondering how they expect people to get a quota with no work.
$1,100.00 full time

Are you full-time?
How many lines do you do a day? I personally think this is very low even for a newbie, but I'm wondering if your accounts are REALLY easy and you have a lot of "normals" (macros) where you can get great line counts in a short period of time. Just my opinion and I'm no expert but I'd say they ARE taking advantage . . . .
I would say full time 1,000 to 1,200 per day. nm

Its not me, its my full time job
Its not me being superwoman, I can assure you. My full time job is awesome and the company I work for is everyone's dream come true. My little one takes up a lot of me, don't get me wrong, but I guess I spent a lot of time out doing things where as now I have to be at home with her. My husband and I have opposite work schedules so he's on his own pretty much and I only have to take care of myself and our daughter usually. I just thought someone there is this get rich in your free time job out there in the MT field that I should look into (JOKING!! please don't bash me again!).
Seriously - I am just looking into ways to make money from home while filling up my free time. Computers is what I do so I figured it would be interesting to look into MT. My mistake I think. Sounds like way more work than I wanted to do.
Yes, Full-time.
I work 40 hours a week for 1 company. I also have an IC job on the side to help with some money, but everytime I have logged on in the last month, there has been no work.
I do see my lines starting to come up, but am still only hitting 100 lines on average which is only $6.50 an hour. Not a livable wage by any means. That barely covers my rent each month.
I also have gotten out of MT full time
So I only work doing transcription part time.
Full-time IC?
Full-time IC is a term that seems contradictory to me. I thought an IC was expected to have more than one "client", at least per IRS expectations, so how does an MTSO get away with requiring an MT's undivided attention as an IC? It seems that MTSOs have a different set of rules....and we are the ones who allow it.
Has anyone out there addressed this issue with either a potential client and/or the IRS? If so, what was the outcome? I'm thinking of filing a complaint and just need some feedback to determine if it is worth my time and energy.
TIA.
To Sad MT: I've noticed your moniker on a couple of boards. Why are you sad?

has anyone transitioned from IC or SE to full time
How did the transition go? What are the differences? What do they take out of you for single in regards to health insurance. Did your pay rate stay the same? My premiium went up AGAIN as it does every year, 20 bucks, and i'm thinking about becoming full time, but only if it is a smooth transition. Thanks guys
Two full-time jobs here
It bites!!! I'm exhausted.
Well I'm doing this full time and ouch !!!
How do you make any money???? Typing and shortcuts is not the problem but trying to figure out some of what the dictators are saying is time consuming... How do you make money????????????
Though I love the research and find this interesting 40.00 a day is not going to cut it... Does it get better????? I feel stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am stuck going full time because
that's all the university offered. They said if I didn't want to go full time then get out of line because 933 other people wanted my spot. I have a small MTSO right now and so am able to just parcel out work and do a little QA each week. I already had an Associate's of Science which transferred to the U, and then I had to do pre-req of Nutrition, Developmental Psych and Organic Chem (and after I did organic chem, over the summer no less, they dropped it as a pre-req grrrrrrr). This fall is my third semester, I will finish after my fifth semester though I want to go on to get a master's as a nurse practitioner....another 2.5 years **sigh**
It depends, IC or full time? nm

In my area they have full-time
interpreters on staff because of very large Brazilian population.
Full-time is 32-40 hours BUT
This is where full-time gets tricky. Say you work you full-time hours 32-40, depending on the company,but you haven't made your line quota, hence, you end up working more hours to make your quota. Also, if your company offers health insurance and you haven't made your line count, then your health insurance is in jeopardy. That is why it is important that you have "work" consistently so you don't have the added pressure of worrying about keeping your health insurance.
Me too. Less than 8 hour day, but full time.

Wow! Not any full time MTs want to comment...sm
on their income per month and company. That can't be a good sign.
Not any full time MTs want to comment
Maybe we consider that our business and no one else's. I used to work in-house and we were always instructed to not give out what dollar amount we earned. Same thing applies here IMO.
I've had Bellsouth for a couple years now. Reliable and no problems. nm

I say you need to give it a shot full-time.
That's the only way you will get quicker and more accurate. You need experience. The more you do it, the easier it will come. Good luck.
IC versus National Full Time
I have been an IC for the last 10 years. I have enjoyed a somewhat flexible schedule. Because I do radiology and acute care, there is a time during the day that I do have to be at my desk working, usually 2-3 hours a day. I thinking of going to work for a national because of the down side to being an IC. I don't always have work, I do work weekends and holidays at the same rate of pay and no vacation time. I have the worries of going on vacation next week with the loss of a paycheck when I get back. Do the nationals really require you to work 8 hours even if you have your line count?
I work 2 full time IC jobs. nm
