In Reply to: this question is for those ladies - who have been through menopause
Nasty Nancy. Anyway, I can't help you on that. I had a hysterectomy and plenty of those awful hot flashes. I would just be sitting there and whoosh, I felt like I was in a sauna and had to go outside no matter where I was. I would just seem to get severely claustrophobic and have to leave for 10 minutes, then I was fine. It does get better.

Martha Stewart made a GREAT decision...
Jeffrey was plain WEIRD. His story sucked...
Monthly fee
Is there a monthly fee when you use it through your phone? I can use my phone but I have to set up internet service and its $60 a month. I work at the inlaws cottage but they have high speed internet.
monthly earnings
I'm new to this board, just found it today, and have been *so* depressed with what I've been reading in regards to line counts and rates you all are being paid. I've been an IC for 15 plus years, transcribing for about 23 years now. I charge by gross lines, 12 cents a line, max 70 characters possible on a line. I make okay money, averaging between $3000 and $4000 a month, with three good dictators, and I live on the West Coast. I could easily make more if I turned off the TV when transcribing and didn't take time off to be at the kids' sporting events. Before I got married, I easily made $55-60K a year, before expenses, but taxes killed me  so I backed off a bit. (This was before the elaborate Expander programs.) Ladies, the money is out there. You just have to find the right accounts!!
Monthly fees
May I ask which carrier this is through? I have ATT and to use my laptop I can hook it up through my phone with a USB cable but in order to get on the internet I would have to buy the data package for $59.99 a month. Thanks, we do a lot of traveling in the summer.
I make 7.5 CPL and earn over $4K monthly
Maybe to you that's not a decent wage, or maybe you're not as fast. I don't know. But this IS production-based work. So type more and earn more. I think I clear about 14,000 lines in a 40-hour work week and I bring TAKE HOME about $4K a month. To ME that's good money. Maybe I'm stupid. I know people that earn much more (are much faster than I) at 7.5 CPL. Call me dumb, but I think that's good take home.
Jennifer, recognized your name from MT Monthly
I enjoyed the publication and have referred several MTs your way for ROS through the years. Hope all is well with you.
Try the FDA website. Updated monthly.

Monthly Prescribing Reference SM
http://www.prescribingreference.com/
Monthly audits = QA score. sm
Usually companies audit your work monthly. They will pull 5 or 10 reports you have transcribed and do a random QA check on them. If you have critical errors, they will deduct whole points, noncritical errors usually a half point.
If you total QA score is below 98% three or more times in a row, some companies will do what they can to help you, put you back on QA review for a while so every report will go to QA. Other companies may just fire you or let you go.
Is this the answer your were looking for?
Does anyone have the website for Monthly Prescribing Reference? Thanks. nm

This is cool...ShortHand offers monthly SM
subscriptions. I have a free trial right now and was worried I wouldn't have the whole $99 after my trial, but I can buy a subscription and save for another month! That's so cool! I didn't know they did that. Didn't know if others knew, so thought I'd share. :)

Were you thinking of MT Monthly.....see link inside

I do all my standard maintenance religiously at least monthly. sm
Thinks like Diskclean and Defrag. Keeping all those temporary Intervet files off your computer makes a huge difference in performance. I have McAfee because it comes with my Comcast service. Used to have Norton -- hated it because it made my computer do all sorts of weird things, and then had a he!! of a time trying to uninstall it. I have an MQ computer that I have had for over 3 years and a couple of months ago it started running really slow, no matter what I did to it. So I called tech,support thinking maybe I needed a new one, and they suggested a free antispyware called Superantispyware, so I downloaded it and run it regularly and it has made a marked improvement.
Okay - to make it simple, what's your monthly takehome pay?
Mine is $1600/month. Assuming I worked 5 days a week (which I dont... I work 6 to 6-1/2), and 8 hours a day (I dont - I work 10-12), it would be $10 an hour. Where in this country is that a good wage? Working my average week, and my average hours per day, this further drops to about $6/hour. (Again, we're talking take-home, not gross.) I don't base anything on gross pay because I never see a large chunk of it. Part goes for Social Security which I'm sure I'll never receive. Part goes for healthcare, which is often denied and I end up paying out of pocket anyway. Part goes for state & federal taxes. My state is already issuing IOUs, not refunds, and last year they gypped me out of what should've been a $300 refund. The feds? Forget it. Let's not even go there.
So unless you live in some wonderful Utopian town where gas is 20 cents/gal., Cheerios are 85 cents/box, and rent is about $150/month, then spare me the lecture about how far a crappy 8 cpl will go, or even a crappy 9 or 10 cpl.
Oh, and by the way? I aint no 'newbie'. Try 34 years.
Just making sure--$60/mo + monthly phone bill? sm
Talk about perfect timing! I told my bro last night about connecting via his cell phone. (Found that info here by searching the archives.) Anyway, he also uses AT&T. So that is $60 plus his regular phone bill, correct? TIA!
I also like to use online references, which by the way I invest in by paying my monthly fee
for high-speed internet service. Why knock someone's way of doing something just because it isn't your way? I personally find it much quicker to find something online than to finger through a bunch of books, which by the way are outdated quicker than you can get them delivered.
Sounds like where I used to work- PHNS- 5% of our total MONTHLY - sm
work was our limit to QA. You'd get your butt chewed off if you went over that....and this was 80% hard ESL too. Totally unrealistic. They did not penalize you though, but that was a while ago too, now, who knows, wouldn't put it past them.
Oh..it's way possible. I've averaged $7000 monthly for the last 5 months sm
I have four accounts and work probably 60 hours a week, but have most weekends off, sometimes I'll work a few hours on Saturday morning or Sunday evening. It can be done, but it isn't easy.
Isnt there a transcription paper/magazine that comes out monthly??
I remember years ago when I was working at a transcription agency that there was a monthly subscription of a magazine/newspaper-type that came out monthly that I read. It was always sitting around. I cant remember the name of it. Can anyone tell me the name of this?? And do they still publish it monthly? Thanks!
QA, 2750/monthly, salaried, excellent benefits-no complaints here.
Was a long time coming though.
My cost of living expenses monthly is $2200/month
I'm self employed, so I'm killed in taxes AND I live in NY...but I wouldn't have it any other way
I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!
The Latest Word was a waste. Stedman's might have monthly updates on their site, not sure. nm
s
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected. I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them. Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only. I'd call the doc if it were my child. give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter. First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day? Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms? It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain. Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup. Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners. Let us know how it goes for you. I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog. This is your chance to help him.
call first
I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial. That is ridiculous. I would be upset. How long ago did they bill your credit card? I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Most credit card companies will fight it for you.
Good Luck!!
You call that a different POV?
the point is how this person has attacked the OP. They were rude and it was uncalled for. so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.
I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior.
We call them
PIG NUTS up here! LOL They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:
idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
I can see why you call yourself that!
Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL
Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
I will call them
I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
Why are we getting a call
to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
The call...
was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:
1. 15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.
2. If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.
3. All offices will be run exactly the same way.
4. If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...
No call yet either
I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
What should we call him?
Call whoever you want to
Listen up Bozo - I don't have any cousin named Sipper!
Go call whoever you feel like calling! For you comment about me being off the meds, why YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
not my call but
...if it were me I would tell them to STICK IT! There are better jobs elsewhere!
Refuse to be treated like a doormat. You're far better than that.
Why don't you call them and ask?
Make sure you have your dates right, verify your account information. The first paycheck is usually a check in order to make sure direct deposit is working properly. Other than that, nobody here can help you.
Call it what you please.
When I have a medical transcriptionist transcribe for my clients, they are subcontractors.
When I transcribe for a clinic or hospital, I am the independent contractor.
Now, you can refer to those positions in whatever form you wish and in the way that makes you happiest, but those, ma'am, are the facts, so I'm through going 'round the rosie with you about this.
