Her/his numbers are extremely high (higher than the best MT on the acct which isn't me by the way lol).
Probably the worst part of it all is the anxiety of knowing that unless you type super fast, the jobs are going to disappear before your eyes. Hence, you do type fast and quality is compromised.
I would love to just sit back and enjoy the work but I cannot because if it feast or famine with accts that have too many MTs staffed for the hours that jobs are released.

Nope. It was a small account to begin with.
The work never went anywhere. The company has not lost contracts. I'm not being "phased out" either. The workload simply doesn't suit my needs any longer. I can do it in my sleep, so I'd like more work that's more challenging.
What you consider big or small, I guess, is a matter of personal opinion,,, in jobs and men. nm

The national I work for usually offers jobs to the in-house people when they acquire an account. nm

small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.
What is the difference between an acute care account and a multispecialty account??..nm

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?
I've never had a problem switching from account to account.
The problem I had was being switched too soon. If I don't get one account spec solidly in my memory with QA feedback on mistakes before starting another, I get confused. The other problem I had with former jobs was inconsistent QA. One person tells you one thing, another person tells you another.
Lately, I don't have a problem with it. Right now, my binder has 8 account specs (some I've never had to use) and I'm picking up a new weekend job for a while. The terminology and report formats stay basically the same. It's just all those little preferences. LOL

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.

what is your account and specialty on the account?
no one is watching. tell us all about osi.
Yup! Not only short jobs, but also jobs from
extremely difficult dictators, bad sound files, jobs that need lots of ADT info added, and anything else that is not "easy" to do. I also questioned them about this and was told the same - they do not allow cherrypicking. Definitely not true!
If one's biz is small I do not think you can....nm
Yes, you should get a small
social worker, psychologist, or whatever. You just have to wade in and start swimming. If you find the right account, that should help you start out.
Huge, I think it's small on my end (NM)

$18,000+, small national. nm
Any small MTSO need PT help? sm
Okay, I have tried the big nationals and that did not work out for me. I would like something for a few hours a day - would love to do family practice SOAP notes again or something where I can just type away and make some decent money. I promise a fast turn-a-round and I am willing to work hard, but no complicated platforms and no set hours.
Why not sue in small claims (sm)
You have a business contract with them. It's not a paycheck we are talking about. It's payment for services rendered. Are they going to send someone to your state to defend it? Probably not!
It's actually one of those small bldg. you
added to the house but it's on the same property as the house...I can't really describe what it looks like. I have only seen it a couple of times. Not sure if that would work. It doesn't have to be that. Just whatever would work. I am more interested in seeing what has worked for others. Just wondering. Thanks for your response.:)
my office is a small
table between the kitchen and the dining room. Books are in a closet right next to it. It helps so I can keep an eye on what my toddler is doing.
how did you get your print to be so small?
if you are for real, your best advice is read this board and take good notes.
Yes, small services (sm)
used to pay 11 cpl IC, have now sold out to squids who in turn pay 7-8 cpl.
And services left average 8 cpl, if you're really experienced you'll get 10 or 11 and get such bad dictation you'll get a headache you'll never forget. 
Small accounts
What kind of small accounts are you talking about? How do you find them? Thanks.
I know a couple of people who key as fast as you do, so it is possible.
small company
You just keep your eyes open all the time. Keep looking. You will find them. Opportunity comes knocking at the strangest time if you just keep looking.
A very very small family.

I had a small MTSO ask that once. sm
As I was heading toward the exit door, she asked me to send her every single one of the normals I used.
So, I sent her the exact ones she had sent me in the beginning, before I refined them to a fine tune, which had taken me hours and hours to do. I'm telling you, I had most tests for every doctor where I could just hop around and fill in the blanks. No way was I giving those hours of work away!
Thanks! The 16" look so small and the 20" so large! nm

small MTSOs
There's a great online resource for MTSOs of all sizes, varying benefits and pay, and variety of work. It's called www.MTJobs.com. Sign up to be on their mailing list. There are usually at least 50 companies listed on each newsletter, which comes out twice a month. Good luck in your search, and prayers for God's healing of your medical problems. :)
should have said that this is for a small national not
an individual. We are trying to put some new things in place and want to make sure that we put the right things in place.
Small Nationals.
I guess just not the huge places like Medquist. I would like a little bit smaller. I am even interested in any companies that are great to work for and pay okay. I am not having that great of luck working for MTSO and getting paid good.
Thanks!!
thanks (small message)
just that I posted the link in the subject line and it was too long...no problem, though! thanks!
Small ear pieces
Try Lanier Healthcare. They have a headset that has ear pieces that fit right into your ear without any hard plastic to deal with, just wires and the foam that fits into your ears. They are the best ones I have ever used.
Believe me, you are neither weak or small.
You are a very strong lady who simply wants the best for her family (including an abusive husband). You are the only one who can make the choice to stay or leave and it has to be your choice entirely. We can all give advice all day long, but the ultimate decision will be yours. We are here to listen, though, and to pray in your behalf for wisdom to make the right choice. Whatever you decide, don't ever forget that when it seems like you're all alone, God is always with you, leading and guiding.
As an IC, you are your own small business. As a
contractor you have NOT been in their emloyment. You have worked as contract labor for them, whether it be 1 month, 1 year or 5 years. They owe you absolutely nothing at any point in time of the contract. However, should you contact their clients (as you mentioned below), there can be legal repercussions for you so I would seriously think twice about this before going forward.
As an IC, it seems you would know that you should not put all of your eggs in one basket. I would bet that most of us that are IC's work for at least 2 companies. For the ones that don't, they probably work for 1 company and have their own accounts, OR better yet have all their own accounts.
TAT is of the utmost importance. It only takes twice with me and I won't send anymore work to that particular IC anymore, which is my option. I might give them a second chance IF their work was top notch.
I have 2 - one large, one small
My first was a very nice rose in the upper-inner quadrant of my left breast. I thought about it for 17 years before I did it. It kind of felt like going to the GYN when I had it do. The guy was very professional and let me catch my breath from time to time. The more fill-in work, the more painful. The more it is just an outline, the less painful.
The other is something private but special to me to honor my kids on my lower back, but above the bikini line. That was much more painful but different guy and it went much faster as I cussed a lot more with fewer breaks.
If I ever get another one it will be a circle on top of the sternum with the leters DNR inside!
I have a small flower
a daisy, my favorite flower, in my bikini area where just about any bathing suit would cover it up. I got it when ankle tatoos were really trendy and knew I A. did not want to have the same thing as everyone else, and B. might not want to show my tattoo to everyone, so I got it somewhere private.
It made for good conversation in the delivery room lol!
I was thinking of getting another one, but would like a spot that covers up and is not that common. The big toe sounds like a neat idea. I hate toe rings for the discomfort, but like the look.
Have you ever seen that SNL fake commercial on the tramp stamps (lower back tattoos) and the "roll on" to remove them? LOL. I thought briefly about getting one but they are too common.
BTW the bikini area tatoo basically felt like if someone was taking tweezers and plucking hairs one by one. It was not that bad. It was actually harder dealing with it during the healing period because I had to wear clothes over the site.
Could not do without it. Small learning sm
curve, but worth it.
Two small MTSO (nt)

Small national. nm

26 with 2 small children.

Just my small opinion...
I think being a wonderful dad is more than just an admirable trait in any man - BUT the kids will grow up one day and if he forgets to nurture your needs, what will the two of you do when they are gone? Sit on the porch swing and stare at each other because you have no common interests?? You have to spend time alone together nurturing one another. Find a common thing the two of you can do together.
If it is as nonstop as you say, then he has to try and cut some things out. It seems a bit out of hand! You are going to have to lay it on the line for him - in depth! Don't just sound whiny either. Tell you need some hubby/wife time every day; even if it is just to curl up on the couch together alone after the kids go to bed and watch late night TV or whatever. You have to keep the love alive - every day.
Thanks, Small MTSO
I knew it must be something like that. Thanks for your reply. Molly
What a small world!
My granny turned me on to them too! And I, like you, used to be run out of the kitchen by them but being the good Southern girl I am, I learned to love them! So does everyone in my immediate family except 8 of my kids. They can't stand them, but my 13 sisters and 9 brothers all thought it was a great day when mama would make them for dinner! Yee haw!!!
small kids and the MT sm
yes - it can be done but just as the others have said, you're right to be considering going to part time.
When my youngest, now 2, was brand new I, too, used a pillow and a bolster-type pillow to nurse while I typed. That, however, was when she was teeny-iney and was feeding every hour or two.
As well, I worked part time and really needed to have my work done by 8 AM.
Good luck to you and enjoy the new baby when he/she comes. You'll do just fine.. ;-)
Small Business
According to what I read on the internet regarding corps, yes you can and you can be the only employee under I believe the S-corporation. There are C-corps, S-corps, partnerships, proprietorships and LLCs. That is the way I read the info. Reading all info gives me a headache, members, stocks, annual meetings, and so on. Yuck! Really do not know if it is worth it. If you go to MTT Jobs, I have noticed that many, many companies are now requesting employee status. At first I thought it was so they could have control over you, now second guessing. They may not have a choice in the matter.
Small MTSO
11.5 to 12.5 cpl, put in 30 to 32 hours per week myself now. Went down to part-time this summer to 22 to 24 hours. First time in 18 years and felt good. Just got two new accounts and so back up but will myself after paying IC's make 50K, down from last year but worked less. Next year will be up to 55K+ unless I go part-time again in the summer if my IC's want to make more. Will probably raise rates in January as have not done so in two years. Patti
Small rewards
If you are able to split your shift then chose the hours that your body is at it's peak. I work best in the early morning 5 to 10 and then 7 to 10 in the evening if needed. Since I have my own accounts I can chose my hours but since I have been doing this for the last 18 yeares I know my peaks anf valleys and decided not to fight it anymore and just worrk those hours that I am most productive. I also give myself small rewards of a break if I stay at it for so long or get so many lines done, if I get the lines done faster I get the break faster. I then go outside walk around for 10 to 15 minutes, do stretches but do ont sit down in front of the TV. That is a mistake. But I know my most nonproductive hours are 2 to 6 p.m. and so I just gave up and only in an emergency do I work those hours in the afternoon. I just listen to my body's time clock. Have always been this way even as a child, could work hard as could be picking berrries before 11 or so and then was dead but if we went back out in the evening, I was go hung again. So if you can chose the hours you can work or split your shift, then again split those up with a break inbetween and focusing for a smaller amount of time is easier. If you have to sit there for eight hours I don't know the answer and I do feel for you. Good luck. Patti
Small Claims
If you go down to the courthouse they will help you step by step. Or perhaps by now it is on line in your state. If she is an MSW or LCSW the state will have a copy of her license and you can also get her address that way. You make out the papers, at least I did, and provide the address to serve her at and they will mail them to her place of employment if that is the only address you have. But the courts are helpful, at least they were in Oregon, and showed me how to do the business as well as personal. Good luck. May I ask why she said she wasn't going to pay you? Just curious.
Small claims
You have a right to be paid for services rendered. If I were you, I'd go ahead and work until the date that you have already told them and then take them to small claims court for the amount they owe you. Of course, this is assuming that you have kept accurate records. You would need those in court. And, I'd also tell your other clients ahead of time what is going on to reassure them that you are doing this as a last resort.
That's a relatively small program
I have had other programs lock up due to incompatability with a typing platform, but you may alos have a disk space issue. I would try running a disk cleanup and defrag. Even if that doesn't totally do the trick, it will help everything run a little faster.
small MTSOs
Ditto. I am not at all happy with the nationals.
