I hate to tell you but not all "REAL" Transcriptionist pass these test as you "PROMISE".  There are people who do not test well but are still qualified to get the job done.  I am one of those people.  I don't test well, but I am a great transcriptionist.  I have a great job working at home that I love and am doing a wonderful job for them.  They understand that there are people out there who know what to do but have struggles with testing.

experience you have no clue.  You don't know about various platforms, equipment needed, insurance, taxes, contracts, not to mention your transcription skills are limited and you have no QA skills.  

Unfortunately there are many like you who seemed to have not investigated this business and how hard it is to get a job before taking classes and then end up in the same position as you, graduating and no chances of a job. 

their hospital clients are watching.  When there is no pool of MTs to get anymore when MQ has destroyed the competition and driven what is left of MTs to other sources of employment, well-------------------------maybe there won't be hospitals any more, who knows.  The way our country is going I guess we will have to be treating ourselves from over the internet, LOL. 

But, back to being serious, I see more and more hospitals advertising for MTs to work for their own individual institutions, and not using transcription companies. 

 I hope the pendulum is swinging back to hospitals having more control of their records. 

 Otherwise HOSPITALS are in for a big surprise.   Wasting Mi$$ions on MQ's and Philips "voice recognition" gadgetry is throwing good money after bad.  The "suits" have complicated creating a medical record so much, it's literally a joke. 

 But that's what big business does isn't it?  Get "suits" into a situation and have them try to make it a "profit making venture" out of it  - and pretty soon the whole job gets lost in the hubbub and all you have left is confusion and dollars flying around, and the product is an unattainable goal. 

Oh wait, but you will have a NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM that is supposed to do everything but wash dishes, and the suit will walk away with another of your $23million dollars.     

I noticed the last time I read stats from MQ on how many MTs they have it was (drum roll here)............10,000.  Remember when they crowed they had 13,000?

Was this "Frank's" plan when he took over?        Or are we all jumping ship because they are an intolerable place to get a pay check? You do the work and even then they want to renig on paying you for what you did.      NOW THAT's REAL CLASS, not.
