That bubble will soon burst! I don't make 16 cents per line, and I have 10 years of experience in all specialties, acute care, ER, clinic...Ah, to remember the newbie days...I had that "go get'em" attitude. I miss those carefree days.

You gotta love 'em
I had a CNP who prounced epistaxis without the "s" - epeetaxis. I won't even tell you what she did with some drug names. The really fun one was when she stumbled three times over cerumen, never did pronounce it correctly and then spelled it for me.
You've gotta understand that most newbies have
trouble getting a job with companies without felonies in their past. Hospitals are probably out, too. At the hospitals I worked at, they did extensive background checks on everybody, one even going so far as to fingerprint all new hires.
Newbies have an extremely hard time breaking into the field with national companies. I'm not sure if it's a national you tried or not, but just wanted to let you know you're in good company there.
Consider this: Though I'd not normally recommend a newbie seek out her own accounts, if all else fails, you can perhaps try to find a specialty clinic to transcribe for. Some smaller MTSOs might also be the way to go. Even if you have to check that you have had a felony, they may miss it. It's also unlikely they'll have the funds to do background checks on all of their potential employees.
Love 'em or leave 'em
I don't have a real solution, but I have been known to log off of that account whenever I see this happen. I then try to find work on one of the other accounts to which I am assigned, but there is often no other work available. I conclude that the only choice is love 'em or leave 'em. A private client might be nice, but that brings other headaches.
I love 'em too. I can dream, can't I?
I love 'em too but type everything else but and Progress notes (sm)
DOUBLE YUCK.
Gotta love that! - nm

YES!! Love 'em! Lots of fun, doesn't feel like working out. :)

Gotta love em, or want to strangle them
I transcribed a dictation earlier with the word salpingo-oophorectomy in it. Now, this is not a new word for me, I have transcribed it many times. The funny part is that later in the document the dictator said the word "chunks"...and then spelled it out!!!! All I could do was laugh. It just makes you wonder about their thought processes sometimes. 
Yup, me too - 25 yrs experience - Gotta love it! $$$$$

Gotta love the dictators
The "Um, Um, Um, Um........" drives me batty! I have one lady that will seriously have a 15 minute report and probably 5 minutes of it is dictation, the other 10 minutes is "umming" and shuffling of paperwork. So aggravating.
Would love to help newbies, I was one myself (way too long ago to admit to)...
but set hours might be hard to do, I'd want to know that I would have at least 3-5 hours a day with a newbie in order to make it worthwhile. If she learns and works out - raises of course. I've been there too!
Can find lots of the Sted's books at www.half.com, too. Love 'em! nm

Gotta love the attitude. Wonder if it would be the same if it involved
Most likely not.
gotta love your ID "MQ Slave" says it all.
Tooooo funny. My daughter stopped in the other day and headed right to my office. She said, "OH MY GAWD! MOM'S IN THE KITCHEN!"
We love to help!, but we can only do so much when newbies don't have experience and fewer places

Cool.........Love it! Go Steelers! Gotta root for my State team! nm

You have got to be kidding! Philly food is the ultimate! Gotta love those "real" cheesesteak

LOL! You calls 'em as you sees 'em, girl!

If U can't beat 'em join 'em
This is NOT the only industry that outsources and you are fooling yourselves if you think that it will stop.
Isn't that what causes 'em to sag?
:+
don't let 'em get to you, KB
As we teach our children, ignore it.
you tell 'em
Can you hear me clapping at this end and yelling BRAVO!!! Right on!!!
Has anyone ever died from doing hanging indents? I may be the first. LET ME DO WHAT I NEED TO DO MICROSOFT!!!!! (yes, I'm yelling).
Cut 'em off???

stump 'em
I'll never forget my first day of college when the instructor wrote on the chalkboard -- panhysterosalpingooophorectomy and said "You will know what this means by the end of the day!" This is an easy one for us now, but back then it was like "Yeah, right." This is one of my husband's favorite words to throw at people at parties, etc. -- and he even knows the correct meaning of the term!! I hate when people say stuff like "Where can I find a job like yours, typing at home, I could do that no problem." They think that if they can type, they can do our jobs. I'd like to see 'em try.....heeheehee
CAN'T SHOOT 'EM....LOL.....NM

Sure looks to me like they are in India, in some shape or form....I hope this helps you....good luck, and let us know how it goes.
Tell 'em sister....
Do you see how fast the haters come here to say "big deal." Any one of us can have our own accounts (I have 2 of my own). I make the same as you round about $50.00 an hour. What a relief because I also IC for an online company making 8 cpl (round about $20.00 an hour). We can't sit around and complain; that accomplishes nothing.
BTW, I think 5 cpl for VR is good... In case anyone cares what I think! I just think it would be hard for me to learn the hot keys to make it go faster, but then again maybe I'd be quicker at it (20+ years in the biz).
Just let them drink their Hatorade and be haters all their lives!!!! 
VR funnies - 3 of 'em
Cardiolite stress test which was negative for reversible skin.
HIDA scan negative for cystic duct or common bile duct obstruction with normal feeding of the gallbladder.
Ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated a fatty liver but no evidence of a dietitian.
It's worth it...Git 'em!
I had one customer who tried to stiff me for some work I performed. I had all the paperwork in order, all the ducks lined up, etc. It was a amount somewhere near $1400.
I didn't go the SCC route at all. I filed a lien against the woman's home for the amount owed, the filing costs, and >>monthly late charges<< that had accrued up to the point of the filing of the lien. Then I waited for about 17 months or so.
When she found out that she couldn't sell her property until the lien was settled, SHE got in contact with me. She "offered" me her personal check (nyet) to settle the debt, but with her track record, I refused and would only take cash at that point in time.
She hemmed and hawed and tried to con me again, but I didn't budge, and the lien stayed put. She finally ponied up the cash, because she had to sell the house, and it couldn't be sold until the lien was satisfied.
I did lose in that deal, however. I forgot about the lien removal filing fee, so I was out $35, but I recovered the majority of the money owed.
You may just want to check out your state's lien laws.

You tell 'em girl!
stay off the porch! Life is what you make it! Only you can make it happen, not the President, not the Pope, and certainly not working for a national. Some say they make boatloads off of a national, but they are hard workers that love to stay chained to the desk with no kids, (as I've seen posted) and no LIFE! Get a grip people! If this gal is thriving, let her thrive. Why call her out for that? Why? She should be able to voice her opinion, and no I am not the poster above, I am a different poster before anyone even starts with that!
Good golly for you Miss Molly - you hit paydirt!  Some of us love this profession enough to make it work, and yes ma'am I've gotten my fair share and then some! I am living the good life! 
Give 'em the Beatles!
ALL little kids love 'em (seriously!). Give John, Paul, George & Ringo a try!
If you hate 'em, verbatim!

Oh yeah!!!!!! Keep 'em comin'!!!!!! nm

Gosh, I wish I loved OP, just can't do 'em

or just go in and be so obnoxious about "hang 'em all" that
no one WANTS you on their jury! But don't get smart on the jury form. A guy in Florida got contempt in court and spent the night in jail along with a fine for writing on his jury form that he had been a mail bomber, etc.

Yeah, right. You go change 'em. LOL

I so agree - ESLs once ya get 'em ya really
I happen to be very_good w/accents, also living in a very diverse area (and let's not forget, being an MT am we are also supposed to be excellent listeners)
what I think the OP doesn't get is ALL LANGUAGE commences in the heart - we are all the same - just *hearing* different words for much of what we all talk about on a daily level.....they say the similar things about similar issues ongoing in the world, and, instead of getting ALL freaked out when one *hears* an accent, my suggestion (unsolicited as it is) would be to try to become a better listener.
To the OP, about your hypothetical blurb telling them to *go back to their countries*...guess what? Your relatives came from elsewhere, unless you're native American....and somehow I doubt that you are;
Would you have liked your ancestors to be told similar, holding that same exact thought as you, about they should all go back to their own countries? hmmmmm?
Time to open the brains nice and wide to things that are different but ongoing all over the world 24/7/365....better late than never...I have some great ESL dictators and some not so great, but first and foremost have AMERICAN ANGLO mushmouths who just care less for the most part.....
Have a nice evening....
Osmosis. Sleep with 'em under my head...
and absorb the knowledge. :)
Besides, this is way too fun.
Did you get the download? Now press "play".
They're great - give 'em a try!
Nicest company I've worked for in years - respectful, patient, plenty of work and they appreciate their employees. They're a breath of fresh air.
