I need a mentor! I am an IC and have never worked outside the home doing transcription. At first, I only worked for one doctor but now I am expanding and I have sooooooo many questions about the business side of it. Is anyone able or willing to communicate with me through email and help me out with all the questions that I have?? I would be so grateful.

Glad I never had you for a mentor. My mentor sm
was superb. She didn't take the time to retype anything, went over it with me and I retyped it myself. And, yes, all of us in our hospital were trained on the job. We got minimum wage. I guess you really should be quitting or at least go back to transcribing. Better yet, another field of work would probably work out much better for you. Sorry to hear you have such an attitude with newbies. I bet you didn't get into this field knowing it all, either. I know I didn't. JMHO.
Need a mentor
I have just about completed one of the two long-term MT courses. I have begun to look for jobs and find that even with the course training I am still such a rookie. I have found a few short-term jobs but really need full time soon. I am wondering if there are any small MT companies out there that would consider hiring me (I will work cheap to learn) and mentor me until I am competent? I understand that some take a cut from your line rate to mentor and I can live with that. Any feed back will be appreciated.

mentor
One of the ladies who trained me to do autopsies started when our VA was built in 1944 or 54. She went to the M&M meetings with a pencil and steno pad. We've got it good.

You should probably try to find a mentor at this point. Since you are new MT and the majority of doctors prefer seasoned MTs that would be your best bet at this time.
Mentor Needed
I'm currently a student needing some help and I don't what it usualy cost to get a mentor. I have only five reports I need help with so you can just tell me how much you'll be willing to help me for.
Mentor Needed
I only have five reports to do. I'm a student and I don't know whats usually paid for mentoring so what ever you would feel comfortable helping me for.
mentor search
Incidentally .... I'd be THRILLED for a mentor, IF I knew where to look LOL
Looking for ONE good mentor
Are you looking to mentor someone? I'm looking for any opportunity I can find to get some experience. I graduated from an MT school and then found it is not very reputable. Some places will let you test with them even if you are new, if you have graduated from recognized schools. Most places will not let new graduates test. It is frustrating. I've tested with several different places and don't score quite high enough. I obviously could use some help. Are you offering?
mentor for newbie
Are there any smaller MTSOs that would be willing to hire and mentor a newbie? I have been an MT for a few years now but my friend just graduated from MT school and has had no luck finding a job. She has already checked within her local area/local docs.
helps to have a mentor too...(sm)
people like us who have been in it for a long time, can give good advice and point a newbie in the right direction. feel free to email me and remember: "no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted"
If no formal ed., would probably need mentor.

Need a mentor- I have 13 yrs experience
Hi- I am an experienced subcontractor with over 13 years experience in varying fields....I am going to be getting a divorce within the next year or so and in order to be able to provide my children with a better life I really want to start my own service. I have questions regarding how to get my own FTP site and whether it is my responsibility to provide physicians with their own handhelds, etc. I don't want to be a big competitive business, but just a small service that will provide my family with adequate finances, possibly eventually hiring one or two transcriptionists to help. If anyone would be willing to advise me I would appreciate it so much. Thanks in advance 
I'd be glad to mentor; just let me know
exactly how much time you can devote to it, and exactly what you expect to gain from it....other than the obvious, a MT job. Please email me if you are interested.

Are there companies that mentor you on Basic 4? sm
I worked in a hospital, but it has been 8 years. I need to get up to speed and want to work part-time for someone doing the basic 4s where I could be mentored until I'm up to speed. Are there any companies out there like this?

I can't find the old thread on schools that mentor into a job
can anyone help me?
Hospitals don't mentor newbies anymore...
It used to be that a beginning Transcriptionist could get a position in-house, but that is no longer the case. My city has something like 15 hospitals and not a single one of them will take an MT with less than 2 years of experience.
