Oh, I know what is going on. I live in the San Joaquin Valley.
There is a black market for anything that is sold and there is a black market for produce, beef, poultry. The under the table production is sold and the under the table profits are given to the under the table workers. When I was in the marriage, husband paid them $400.00/weekly (6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., six days a week)if they were general laborers. He had 20,000 head of cattle, raising beef and had a dairy also (1,200 milk producing cows). This is what monitoring immigants will do - stop the black market. Which is a great idea in my book as these ranch owners are as wealthy as royalty. They sell off shore for the most part.
Would that be the one in Phoenix? nm

Phoenix
They don't pay for spaces. I've tried explaining to my thumbs why the work they do has no value in certain environments, but they refuse to understand & in general continue to prevent me from applying to a company that I've otherwise heard pretty good things about. If your thumbs are happy working for nothing, I'd say go for it.



Phoenix
I would recommend ANY company to work for - except Phoenix. Their website is bogus - nobody makes $25 an hour. They'll toss you a book to hook up your computer - and when you're having questions - you'll get an attitude when you ask for help. Horrible, horrible!
Phoenix

I have been with Phoenix MedCom for 1 year now and they are a great company. I work on an internet account that does not pay for spaces.  We have a new platform with another account and this does pay for spaces.  I tried both platforms and it works out to exact amount of pay, 10 cents without spaces and 8 cents with spaces.  DG


Phoenix MedCom
I have been with this company as an IC since they started over 5 years ago and before that I worked with these same owners at another company which was bought out by Medquist for over 6 years. Phoenix Medcom is a great place if you are loking for an IC position.

University of Phoenix
I did some checking several years ago and I found from my research that University of Phoenix was the one with the most prestige as far as on-line degrees.  You have to be careful, because some of the places offering these are not worth the paper they are printed on, to an employer.  But, I found that UOP actually is the *best* of the on-line universities.  I didn't enroll, but I seriously considered it.  It is extremely expensive and I've heard from someone I know who was a student with UOP, that it is challenging (she worked a full-time job in addition to her classes), but she really loved it.  Unfortunately, I've lost touch with her now and I have no idea if she ever finished and got her degree.
Re: University of Phoenix
To the woman whose husband is a student there: Racism is corrosive. It will ruin your heart and your soul. Please look into your heart and see what is behind all of this hatred. Hate is never the answer.
Phoenix Medcom

I haven't ever heard of this company before but they had a posting in the job bank.  I'm wondering if they are worth my time applying for.  I have a job, just looking for extra to do.  Anyone's experience would be appreciated.  Thx!


University of Phoenix!!! LOL
Duh- yeah!
Phoenix MedCom
The co is Phoenix MedCom
PHOENIX MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION

PHOENIX medical transcription.  Any information good/bad???


Thanks


I'm referring to Phoenix Medcom
They sent me a lot of info when I inquired & were very specific: they pay per 65-character line, with headers & footers, no spaces.
Had that happen with Phoenix Medcom ...they
acted dumb so I left and am making more with far less hassel and stress over easy work being taken (and ASSIGNED) to their favs....
Overwhelmingly, Amphion, Phoenix Medcom & MDI-MD (*not MDI-FL)
Good luck!

I'm in the metro Phoenix area and we were in the mid 20s last night. That's cold for us!!...
I had to cover my frost sensitive plants with sheets.
No way. Univ. of Phoenix is considered a joke by employers!
http://uopsucks.com/negletters.html

The best way to obtain an on-line degree is to attend an accredited university that was already well-known for its academic program way before the internet was invented.

Check out University of Massachusetts, Temple University in Philadelphia, University of Minnesota.

The fly-by-nights like U. of Phoenix are the equivalent to the crap that used to advertise "degrees" on the back of matchbook covers and have no credibility in educational and career circles.

Seriously, stick with an accredited, well-known school, not some bogus piece of crap like that.

You get what you pay for.

Only 90 degrees? It was 112 in Phoenix yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.

hands down by the....

LINE!!


I am currently getting paid per report on one acct and per line on another and hands down...per line always adds up to more money.


From years of experience, there is at least one MT that will tend to skip the longer reports when being paid by the report - if this weren't the case then it might be about the same but just from years of experience it seems there is always one bad apple in the bunch that spoils it for the rest.


When being paid per line, at least when they skip reports they don't want to do - it just means more lines for me and more $$$.


Hands

Does anyone else have problems with puffy, stiff hands during the hot weather.  Never bother me in the cold but this heat kills my speed and accuracy.  Anybody have any home remedies that helps.   I feel like the Pillsbury Dough boy with regards to my fingers and hands.   Please don't tell me it is old age setting in. 


Thanks.  


Hands
I tried Glucosamine with chondtritin and it did not help with any of my aches.  But then I was told by a chiropractor to try MSM Glucosamine after I was T-boned and had terrible hip and buttock problems.  Tried 2 to 4 did not help much and gave up -- I give up easily.  But the past several months tried again at 2 twice a day and after a couple of days it helped not only with my hip but my hands have not ached all summer/fall now.  Really helped and I now take only 2 or so and not every day.  Vioxx also helped but they took that off the market.  But this helps tremendously.  But you should check to see if by chance you have Raynaud's or something in your hands or low thyroid.    Good luck.  
is there something i can use to help my hands....
to be smoother. i have been using baby powder, but have already went through 2 keyboards...is there a transcription something i can buy? also, how about my hands freezing....what can i do about that?
Female..hands down !


I swear, every account I've ever worked had one problem dictator.. always female !  One REFUSED to use macros, even on normals.. and she would always make sure she made every report unique, so that we couldn't sneak away with using a macro for her.  Another one spoke a hundred miles a minute.  I remember my first day with her.  She said something several times in her reports and I went crazy trying to figure it out.... lumbar spine ??  supine ??  Turns out she was saying "skip a line" !!  


 


Obviously not for his face, but maybe his hands?

Hands On Transcription
Does anyone have any info on Hands On Transcription?  They say they pay daily.  Thanks
not sure what you are looking for exactly but for my aching hands sm
i have a mixture i make. it leaves your hands for soft and smooth and feels great too. take table salt and mix in essential oil. i love to use peppermint as it leaves a "cooling sensation" afterwards. just mix it until the salt is moist, not drowned. rub it is (preferably over the sink as it will make a mess), rub deeply or massage and it feels great. then rinse hands with warm water and it leaves your hands so soft and feeling great as the oil is left on your hands.
hang on with both hands - and don't let go

some swear by, but I think my hands are too big.

Voc. Rehab. let me try one out when they were helping me get my ergonomics together, and I knew right away I could never get used to it.  I have rather "fat" fingers, though, and I think that was part of it.  If you have longer, thinner fingers, it might be right up your alley. 


You can rent one (which can then be applied to the purchase price, I think?) for awhile from this site to try it out, rather than outright buying it.

hands down..hourly

Hands down, if I had to pick one, my best
resource for medical terms is The Surgical Word Book. Boy that book is awesome. For meds, Quick Look Drug Book is The One! Online, the only site I really frequent is Dr. 411. Now, most of my coworkers are going to know who I am, as I am always singing the praises of these!! Oh well. It won't be any surprise to them how miserable I am at work - we all are.
I am MT/ME and ME is easier on the hands...

I love ASR (automated speech recognition) aka editing as it's easier on the hands for some (me!!).  It does pay 20% less per line but I'm very fast with editing.  I like it a lot but to each his/her own opinion on it.


Good luck!!


Insuring hands??
I apologize if this sounds foolish but has anyone ever heard of a Transcriptionist insuring their hands in case they were in an auto accident, etc?? Is it even possible??
Cold hands
Does anyone else have freezing hands as they type?  It's worse of course in the colder weather.  Are there any gloves or similar products out there that we can wear while we type?  Any ideas are appreciated!  I freeze all the time, in warm weather or cold, but my  hands are what I need to be warm to keep transcribing.  I need a space heater that doesn't cause my electric bill to go sky high, but haven't found one of those either.
My hands are always cold too.
I have seen gloves with the fingertips cut out, but do not know how comfy they would be to type with.

I sit with a heating pad on my back cause I have arthritis in my hip and when my hands get cold I just put them behind my back to warm them up.

There are also those heat packs you can squeeze or rub together to warm up your hands.

You would think after typing and typing our hands would stay warm with all this exercise, but NO.

Keep Warm.
Warm Hands
Or how about a heated wrist pad for in front of your keyboard?

Vonage the best hands down! I never
have trouble with them, either service or billing. No hidden charges, no monthly surprises. My bill is $32 every month for unlimited LD, plus I love their voice mail features, being able to access calls and messagers on line, their privacy settings - all calls can go right to voice mail if you want, etc. They are a miracle to me. Verizon, on the other hand, were skunks to me - my bill was always a nightmare each month, and though I had every Freedom Plan available, it was always a 3-digit bill. Service was great - billing was not.
When your hands feel like they are

going to fall off and your arms are killing you, what do you do/use to keep them going full speed for another 8 hours?


Nothing pill-wise though...that has already been done.


I'd like them for when I have cold hands

wonder if they would work for that...


I have had cold hands lately
and I tried buying some little stretch gloves and cut the fingers out, but I found in the Sunday paper an add for Miracle Therapy Gloves that supposedly reflect body heat. I was going to order them and try them. They do have a web site it's called www.DreamProductsCatalog.com
cold hands
My hands get so cold in my office that it's difficult to type.  They're stiff from being cold.  Any suggestions for a type of warming glove that wouldn't be cumbersome while typing?
what I did for my cold hands

I bought a duel-headed lamp with adjustable necks (kind of like the 50's space-age atomic style).  I have it on my desk in front of the keyboard with a lamp head bent over and trained on each hand as I type.  The warmth is wonderful, and it doesn't get in my way at all.  And you can move them up a little if your hands get too warm.  No cumbersome gloves that will slow your speed and accuracy down.


stiffness in hands
At 40, you could be premenopausal. I know it sounds early but some women are. You might try getting some progesterone cream OTC and rubbing it into your hands. It's touted to help just about all that ails bones, joints, tiredness or anxiety. Just a thought.
Radiology, hands down.

Hands-On Transcription Company
Anyone have any information on Hands-On Transcription Company?  Information appreciated.  MK
I have Raynaud's, so I know all about cold hands.
Raynaud's is a fairly common circulatory problem of the capillaries of the fingers and toes. When your hands are cold, look for distal portions of digits that are white compared to the rest of the hand. Treatment for Raynaud's is keeping hands warm. Wear mittens when it is 50 degrees or below. Don't use bare hands in frozen foods.

Transcriptionists who want to protect their precious median nerves AND keep their hands warm use these gloves:

www.softflex.com

You may actually type faster with them - I do.

Another option is to keep a heating pad on your lap as you work. That's what my dad's secretary used to do in Wisconsin.
im needing it to make my hands
run smooht across the keys, becuase they tend to sweat.  lotion makes them greasy and sticky on the keys.
its not for moisture or dry cracked hands.....
its to help my hands run smoother, faster across my keyboard. try putting some baby powder on your hands and tehn type for a minute. your hands will go so fast you wont be able to keep up.
