supposed to be, after people lose their jobs, they are forced to take part-time, lower-paying jobs..
with little to no benefits. service jobs. where are you going to work in a few years, when Medical Transcription is replaced by technology? McDonald's, Walmart? you really going to like that?
Find my reports changed all the time.
In ChartScript you can view and edit previous reports. Anyway, I have found tons of my work which I know is not the way I typed it. I just let it go and so far have they have not said anything. If, however, I was told about these mistakes I would say something even though I know QA would be right. Agree, they think they know it all and some really don't know jack.
The most jobs at 1 time were
4 but 3 were doing MTing. I eventually got down to 2 and those hrs were 5-2, took a nap and then 5-10 and worked those for several years. Eventually though it caught up with me and I got a really bad case of vertigo and neurologist suggested I might be working too much. Good money (actually these were like 2 full time jobs) but after quitting now is heaven to only work part-time and loving this.
Actually I think it's time for you to change jobs
You're a perfect example of what happens when a person has been out of social circulation for years. You're terminally hateful, angry, and certifiably insane. I actually feel sorry for you. 
Two full-time jobs here
It bites!!! I'm exhausted.
I currently have 2 jobs and have had for a long time....sm
I work days from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. then work the night job from 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. I have off Sundays, but work Monday through Saturday. It is gets very old, but I am the breadwinner in my family and am trying to get debt free by the end of the year except for the house and if I have to work like this to accomplish it then so be it. I have tried 3 jobs before, but that just gets to confusing, as all three companies had different account specs and style rules and such and I got to where I could not remember which was which. Good luck to you.
working two jobs at same time
Okay, this may be a strange question - but here goes... Does anybody work two different jobs, are clocked in at the same time with both? For instance, two different companies, two different computers, clock in with both jobs at the same time, do a couple of documents with one, go to other job and do a couple of jobs, and so on...?
If you are productive at both jobs and are able to both at the same time, why...
is it criminal?
Anyone work two jobs at the same time?
I only have dial-up and it is so so slow and now the company I work for has "updated" their system which has made my downloading even slower and can only download two jobs at a time.. so now I have to sit and wait for the next job to come through. The hours at my present job are becoming less and less flexible too and most places I have inquired about want you to put in an 8 hours shift. My situation is that I was getting my line requirements in in about 4 1/2 hours, but now with the so slow system, I fear I will be sitting and waiting for work and I just can't stand not being productive... after all I'm not being paid to sit. Was thinking about taking another position, working 5 minutes on one computer, switching to another and working 5 more minutes while my work downloads on the first, and back and forth. Anyone else do this? Can it be done? or am I just taking on more than I can handle? This downtime really is killing me, not just $$$, but psychologically too... I'm a Type A and I just want to Git Er done. Any suggestions? 
Two jobs, 1 full-time, 1 IC (nm)

Where are all the part-time IC jobs?
It seems like most companies are only hiring 3rd shift, acute care, full-time employees right now. The few places that do hire PT don't pay diddly. Come on now, $.06-.075 cpl for someone with 10+ years of experience? Did the medical transcription market totally tank in the past year since I last tried to find a job? Where did all the good accounts go?
I work 2 part-time IC jobs..sm
I feel like I have more stability that way just incase I want to leave one job or run out of work I always have a back-up.
I work 2 full time IC jobs. nm

Anybody working two full time jobs
Due to the lack of work (on a regular basis) with my current full time at-home job, I'm considering taking another full time job...7am to 3pm then 3pm to 11pm. I don't know what else to do. I can't afford to go days without meeting minimum line count because there is no work.
Am I nuts to try this?
I work 2 full time jobs..
I work from 8:00 - 4:30 then get home and start working about 6 pm. until 12-1 a.m. It's tough to do, but can be done if you are determined enough. I've been doing for almost one year now. The bad thing is I work salary during day hours, and paid cpl at night, so nothing is overtime pay for me. Would be easier to have one job with overtime allowed. We girls just do what we gotta do, don't we?
My children don't have part-time jobs
For my kids, their job is to be excellent students and sons/daughters. As a parent, I pay for their financial obligations, and as long as they fulfill their end of the bargain (do exceptional in school and be respectful, successful, and good children), they will not be expected to have part-time jobs. They do volunteer work, however, so they do know the value of hard work. They are just not paid monetarily for it.
Plus, with as busy as they are (Boy Scouts, many sports, afterschool study groups, volunteer work, acting workshops, etc.), they simply don't have time to hold down a job.
Take the time slowly to go thru some jobs and figure out

I work two part-time jobs
and that seems to keep it more interesting for me. I work on two different platforms. One is a small hospital where I am an IC, and the other is an MTSO where my account is a huge hospital. I think having to juggle the two jobs, supervisors, etc., keeps me more distracted. But, yeah, it can get really boring at times.
I quit for 2 years a few years ago because I was seriously burned out and felt brain dead, but when I started looking for work again could not stand the thought of going to an office, so here I am again.
Only if you hold down 3 full-time jobs, and never
I did work three jobs for quite a long time. Then it dawned on me that
(1) I was always tired (2) I was never finished working (3) It wasn't worth it.
I quit EDiX, and I quit my hospital job, and I've never looked back. I usually have what money I need. I work about 5 hours a day plus a small weekend job recently that's no more than 10 op notes.
I have started many jobs with the undertanding that I already have time off scheduled. sm
Most companies who need MTs need them on a chronic basis. If they find a "good hire" they will usually work with your upcoming time off or let you start after your time off. I would be looking. More people look at the first of the year because of benefits, so you might get a jump on them.
But can't a company say I need these jobs by X time? And then the IC can accept or decline?

I work 2 full time IC jobs and made just under 50K. nm

I have 2 jobs. One is full time at a hospital, the other is for a urologist in AZ. sm
The urologist in AZ doesn't dictate every single day, so I usually can spread him out over the week. I work 8 hours at my full time job and then if there is work to do from AZ, I usually type until about 10 or 11 o'clock at night. If it all gets done fine. If not he doesn't worry. He is happy wiht 48 hr TAT. But since he is so good to me, I really try to get it back within 24 hours. I break his Friday dictation into chunks over the weekend. So with everything factored in, between the two, I usually type anywhere from 8-12 hours a day. But not 7 days a week.
Working 2 full-time jobs (for a year now), and boy am I tired!!
.
I can do 1200 lines in 5 hours so with 2 full time jobs
I work on average of 9-10 hours a day. When I sit down to work, I do not do anything but work. I do not surf the net, etc. Also, I am single and I live for my weekends so during the week I work hard. I also have 2 kids so most of my work is done during their day at school and after they are in bed for the night. I have a ton of short cuts in my Expander program too. If I type something twice, I come up with a short cut for it. Its not that hard. I would try the one full time and one part time and see how your time is first and if it is okay, then I would bump it up gradually. You don't want to burn yourself out but if you can do it and you have good accounts, go for it!!!!
Two jobs don't equal one when it comes to making money and not wasting time. sm
Recommend looking for one good job.
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.
It appears that your mind is (sm)
the one that is closed, which is why nothing will ever be done.
I have done my part.
What you eventually do about your own situation is completely on your shoulders, not anyone else's.
Not exactly sure, but target appears to be MTs.

Scientology appears to be nothing more....n/m
Whoaaa...the pic with the MTs at desks appears to have been taken in
I enlarged the photo. The MTs appear Indian in total to me.

belong somewhere else as you don't have a grip on what the poster is saying. So, get a grip, eh?

which board it was on, this one or gab? Anyways, I had said to possibly use call blocking to block your sister, or to unplug your phone for 15 minutes or so during the period she calls you back. I remember someone else suggested having her number blocked but have her calls forwarded to a cell phone if you have one. I'd look into another phone line as suggested below; they are not that expensive (get it with no LD, just the basics and use it for your virtual call center if you can). You can write off the cost of your phone lines on your taxes on Sch. C, so they do help offset your taxes some. Or you could just try to do an extra 300-500 lines a month to cover the cost of the phone line. Good luck.
The Amazon one appears to be a current
edition and the CD that comes with it is an outdated spellchecker and not the dictionary on CD-ROM. The Stedman's one is just the CD and they are always more than the book. The have more detailed info on the CD. I have an older version of the book and I think I've used it 2 times in 10 years. When I update my Stedman's now I buy the CD and I might use it more if I had it on CD versus the book, though with their CDs now you can only install it twice. They also have the book, but it is about $50.
Check the classified board here and check half.com. You can most likely find it cheaper at either place.
see Rose's message above; appears to be more to this.

It appears to be happening to all of us. How do you spell -
Illinois company and it appears
when I checked they still have the account and the account is up to date. Since direct deposit is an option, I figure there are some who do not realize they didn't get paid yet, since I was told everyone on that account did not get paid. Why would they keep the account if they did not get paid by the client? Tried calling the labor board and left a message for a call back. I will have to see what I can do. Thanks for your response.
Well it appears we all speak American English...
There are thousands of different dialects of American English....from North to South or East to West. Come on folks, we listen for a living....Please calm your little buns down...."American" is not a dialect....Vernacular is different everywhere. When asked to "cut out the lights" my kids looked at me for an answer to which I replied "turn off the light switch".  Cat

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

appears to be an Indian based company. SM
doing a search for Spectramedi and India, you will find the following link. Make your decision, but I won't work for a company who has affiliation with any overseas company or employs overseas workers. Their website shows they are based out of New York, but this India link indicates they do business in India. This is only my opinion based on my internet search.

Thanks. I purchased a three way plug last night and it appears to be working and yes for the-sm
poster above it does have a filter on it but the way it plugs in I needed the extra plug so I could still be connected to the computer for my fax to work. Thanks again for the help.

I would not do them back to back - I have done 2 and 3 jobs at the same time -- all PT - sm
It is possible to do of course but you will burn out fast. Now I do one almost FT (about 30 hours a week) and the other is about 8-10 hours a week-- I still get beat doing that and that is w/o set hours. I find that the older I get the harder it is to work late and I am only 40! But a mid afternoon 30-minute cat nap helps a lot in order to keep going on busy days.
I did 3 jobs for a while about 3 years ago, you burn out quick, I was doing 3 MT jobs though...after
10 months I cut down to 2 as I don't like to have all my eggs in one basket. But I am considering going down to 1 in September for my sanity, its a good steady job so financally it should not be an issue. I have 2 right but have not worked the 1 in about 3 weeks due to some problems at their end, supposed to learn a VA account but not sure if I want to pursue it right now or not, they are waiting to hear from me at this point. I still have a lot going on with chemo, etc. so am mulling things over. But if you have a full-time day job, then I would just go with 1 part-time MT job at night, unless 1 is during the week, and the other weekends only, then of course you will be working 7 days a week, very tiring I know. I have been working 7 days a week for 3 years now but I do slack off now and then of course to recharge and get sleep etc. But burnout happens fast and I doubt you want to lose your day job so be careful. Good luck. 
Two jobs very common, 3 jobs not unheard of.

Has this changed?
Congrats!
Will all MTs be changed over to ASR?

no, nothing has changed.
Just a very bossy lady who waits until the last minute to give me the work, sometimes three to five days later than it came in, and then demands it ASAP. It isn't my fault she cannot keep up with the work.
