Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I made 21,000 last year working part time...

Posted By: MtMom30 on 2008-01-10
In Reply to: A sad $11,000 for 2007, but I need to - put in more hours, and

hoping when my youngest gets a bit older (she is 16 months) I can make a bit more...

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.
Sickest thing, I made more money my first year as MT as I do now, for working

Full-time without OT. Made about 40K last year. nm

Made 60K last year working 50 hours a week being paid on gross line

Anybody make less than $12,000/year, part time - sm
I know at just part time (minimum 25 hrs a week) I won't be pulling in a ton of $, but I thought it would be a little more than that.  Am I alone?
Why isn't part time not working for you?

Hope you don't mind my asking why Spheris part time is not working out for you?  Thanks.  Just want to know what I could be getting into.


I now am only working part-time but
in the past many jobs and mostly had 2 until I married my knight in shining armour. Now I am a part-timer after having worked over 20+ years at 2 really full time jobs.
$1,200 month working part-time with National/other. nm

Working 2 full-time jobs (for a year now), and boy am I tired!!
.
Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.

I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.

Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.

Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
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.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
Actually, I made just under 56K last year...
It is only in the 40K range for the first year. 
I made $13,000 last year

working full time.  Constantly out of work. I moved to a different company in September of last year as an IC QA and still had the same problem.


I made 33K last year. nm
xx
I made $45K last year doing rad, 9 cpl.
I make a lot more there than I do with acute care.

Gotta love it.
I made over $20,000 my first year.
I graduated early this year and I worked 30-35 hours a week and pulled in just over $20,000. I started in acute care and then switched to a clinic account which I make a lot more money on.
Wow. I only WISH I made 31K per year!

Last year I made $36,000...... BUT
I work 12 days on and 2 days off.....anywhere from 8 to 12 hours per day just to make a buck.
Unbelievable! The pedagogy part made me laugh out loud.

Been there. That's why I work at home. Thanks for sharing.


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

If I made $250,000 a year and had Air Force One to myself, I'd
take a lot of vacations, too.
A co-worker made this last year sm

 


for a Halloween office party.  So cute to see a plate of mice with licorice tails and almond ears.  She actually put these on a huge cookie sheet with a Rat Cake in the middle.  (rat cake was covered in chocote icing-- inside was a red cake, actually quite delicious.)  LOL   Rats and mice. ....  not too scary for that age group though.

ICs, anyone work part of year as
and then change over? I have become totally spoiled. Started IC late in the year so about 2 months total but now is a new year and I am pondering about going to a part-time employee rather than me having to do the tax but wondered if I could wait just a littleeee longer before I have to give you know who all my money???
Not getting back - how much we made gross for the year. nm

so far no one has posted they've made 100 grand a year. nm

Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

The best part is I'd still be working at home...nm

working at home part 2
This is the 3rd time I've tried to post a response.  Thank you for your honest and helpful words.  I keep making stupid mistakes on apps and reports, like I'm on self-destruct on these apps. I actually am prepared to make basically very little for a while.  But it's true, one company says they give you ONE WEEK to get up to speed, 1200 lines a day, and I cannot see that.  As it is, this job is miserable, horrible, every weekend all weekend, the manager is an old woman on a power trip. I sit in the car and literally cry every day.  And now I think maybe I'm not the most wonderful Transcriptionist since Eve, in spite of 8 years acute care, most specialties.  So, transcription wise, things are not looking too good.  Maybe I needed this app thing to stop deluding myself.
I made a whole $12K this year, granted when my daughter got cancer in March - sm
my income took a big hit as I went "on leave" from my FT job, and cut back on my PT job drastically. I did not get back to working a more normal schedule until October. I now work 2 PT jobs. So had I not had a 6 month hit in the pocket book I expect I would have made over $20K this year, not a fortune. My goal for 2006 is $24K, and as I am going to try my best to "work smart", I should be able to acheive that, staying disciplined is the key, of which I am sorely lacking. I am lucky that I don't have to live on this though, I'd be starving. As it is I have to play catch up on a lot of bills since I lost 6+ months of income, not fun.
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.
You made $90.00 in 3 hours working as a lifeguard? LOL!
Cute. What are you doing posting on this board. This isn't BayWatch, it's for MTs!!
No, they aren't. I made $10 an hour working
in-house plus measly production bonuses. I made $30-50 per hour working IC at home for a small MTSO.
made pennies working on-site-sm
but I live in an extremely rural area were the pay is generally lower across the board for any type of job.  I also drove an hour each work as well, to the next town over. Around years ago the transcriptionists in my hometown were making 7.50/hour.  So I am pretty proud of my 9 cpl job. 
Made 11-12 cents a line working for a service in 1989
sucks
year os working...
I agree, you weren't nasty or rude. However, I just wanted to say that unlike you, I do believe places hire untrained QA and training people - as a matter of fact, I know they do. Not making any judgments on OP's situation, but just saying it is plausible.
Part time
I work part time from home, and I graduated about 7 months ago. It fine doing part time, just don't expect to make any money.
part time
I was told I had to work 20 hours minimum and there was no maximum. Since I'm paid by the line, I could work 100 hours a week if I wanted.
Why don't you try getting a part-time job? Try

Don't want a part time job
I was hired as a fulltime employee; I have benefits and want to keep them. What kind of benefits do you have for parttime; not what I have now that is for sure.

We want to work. Yes it seems like we are complaining a lot but you just do not understand what is going on and obviously do not work for MQ and until you do or are in our shoes kindly do not respond to us. We are letting each other know what is going on on this board because management does not care no matter how much complaining we do.

Many of us have quit already and more and more are going out the door.

All we want to do is work and be treated like human beings and not machines.
Part-time job

I need a part time job but I can't work more than 10-15 hours a week.  Is there any such animal? Everyone I have contacted wants me to work 20 hours.


TIA


$12/hr QA, IC, part-time
will be working on VR tech, I believe. Is it worth trying?
I will look for a part time
i liked this one, but oh well, if they are taking my money......well they claim to have so much new work coming in. I don't think they are in financial trouble, just being cheap.

part-time
I know from my experience that the smaller companies do not follow the same AAMT style as nationals, rather notes are typed the way the doctor wants it. You should have some examples. Talk to someone there before you leave. I bet in the end it will be a lot less stress!!
I do part-time

I purchased a laptop mainly for when we go RVing in the summer as sometimes I receive a lot of work (on tape) from my own local account and instead of needing to stay home so I can complete it by Monday I can now go camping and work and do my work. However, at home, I mainly use my laptop for my on-line job. My laptop has more RAM than my regular PC and everything seems faster on, so I prefer using my laptop.


I am waiting for the new ExpressCard to hit the market from Verizon (or Sprint) and hope to sign up for their unlimited Internet pkg. which will be faster than the dial-up that I currently have (which is all that is available to me), then I can actually do my on-line job (live on a platform) when away from home on my laptop as well if need be. I did check with the tech dept. of the software program and was told that I could connect to their platform this way. My laptop did not come with a PC card slot, just the new ExpressCard slot that all laptops will be made with in the future (is my understanding).


Do you have any particular questions about using a laptop for work???
