Mayo Clinic
They have run that ad in "Advance" for years. I had a friend who applied for it and they told her they were just "making up a list". I don't know if that has changed or not. Also, to work at home, you have to live in the Phoenix area-- no way for me! It used to be nice when I moved there in 1964 with large citrus groves, beautiful clean air, etc., but now with the traffic, high crime, illegal aliens, gangs, road rage, shootings every day, etc., it is just like living in LA. If that appeals to you, go for it, but not me! I have a horse and used to enjoy riding along the canals and cotton fields, etc. Now it is just wall to wall houses about 3 feet apart. I got out of there in 1997 and not a moment too soon!. They are trying to make the rest of Arizona just like it and ruining everything, unfortunately. It used to be a beautiful place, but not any more. Besides, all the Californians are moving here with their money and are pushing housing prices out of sight. 
Mayo in Scottsdale
They just make a list-- in case they ever have an opening. They have been running their ad for years.
Mayo Clinic
I know for a fact that all of the Mayo System clinics here in Minnesota run ads just to collect resumes. They will lie and tell you that the opening has been filled, but I have an insider who tells me what is really going on and you also see the ad continue to run. There are no job openings. Not nice.
Spheris/Mayo Clinic
Anyone with info on Spheris and/or Mayo Clinic Scottsdale? I've been an IC with MQ for 10 years and it's time for a change. Need to convert to employee status. Want to still work at home. Mayo may offer that after a while. Spheris is at home all the time. Anyone know cost for health insurance with Spheris for employee and spouse and child? Thanks for any info!
if this is about the Mayo Clinic - then forget about it - sm
The Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale has been running an ad for transcriptionists for almost three years now. NO LIE!
how about using Kraft Fat-Free Mayo?
Not sure how it works with cooking, but I can't think why it wouldn't do just fine.
He is a Mayo Clinic doctor - he does a ton...
.....
Health department here said straight mayo. SM
Slathered it on, put on a shower cap and left it for hours. Not only were the lice gone, but our hair was so soft and shiny and conditioned!
As a former supervisor of Mayo's Transcription Dept.
I can say that, yes, they continually run ads whether they are hiring or not. HR keeps resumes on file and refers to them as they need to fill a slot. Mayo is not the easiest place to work. Incoming MTs have to go through pretty rigorous training and you have to have 3 passing QAs before you can work out of the home. Many of the dictators are horrible due to their very thick accents or racing dictation methods. It's been a while since I've worked there, but when I did, I know that their word processing system was rather cumbersome and required a lot of mouse work and their Expander wasn't very good either.
Why hasn't Mayo clinic signed on with a large
Like Spheris or Medquist??? What is so special about them?
Mayo Clinic in AZ has an ad for in-house MT in Advance Mag, $19/hr base pay. sm
Plus shift diff and bonus, plus $1000 sign-on bonus, and relocation $. What a great offer if it's true.
I've tried mayo cooking fish - DELISH (sm)
for cholesterol-watching husband, JUST DON'T TELL HIM - he'll never know
When I worked at Mayo the desks had the capability of raising up. The keyboard,
so you could stand and type. It was a refreshing change. I really liked the set up. Mayo paid a chunk of change for those desks and there were over 90 MTs in our office.
Search The Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Mayo Clinic or other big institutions for research. nm

Florida
Tampa General Hospital took somewhere around 60 patients this weekend, Pasco county has opened homes and a woman who runs a homeless shelter in Spring Hill has made 2 trips to NO to bring back people, all of whom have eventually been placed in homes. Not to change the subject but I have seen a lot of complaints on the board in the past about Wal Mart - I just read in the paper some of the things they have done for the victims - a 20 million dollar cash donation, they had 45 truckloads of food ready to disperse before Katrina even hit landfall, plus numerous other things, sending 150 internet ready computers to the shelters for the evacuees to find their lost ones.
MDI in Florida
Just changing back to radiology from oncology and I am looking into companies. MDI Florida is hiring radiology transcriptionists. Any information would be helpful. I know they have a web site but I would like to hear from the people. Do they have good benefits? How about scheduling and accounts? Do they pay or help out with the long distance phone calls? Good management?
MQ in Florida
Does anyone know what Medquist offices are still operational in Florida?
Florida
I'm not sure about most nationals but I can speak from experience about my company that I work for, I moved to Florida and my pay did not increase. One good thing about Florida is that you do not have to pay state tax, so you get that extra amount on your check every month. Housing (especially buying) has skyrocketed in Florida in the last year or so. As for the schools, I can only speak for the district I was in but I think you can go to fldoe.org and look for information on that. Sorry I couldnt help with any more. Good luck!

Also in Florida
Guess the wildfires and possible evacuations are good practice for the upcoming hurricane season!
Why not Florida?
This was a fantasy. I personally don't have anything against Florida, but I seem to recall reading a help wanted ad for a company located in Florida which indicated that it would only hire MTs that lived in certain states, for whatever reason, good or bad. For the other three states that I mentioned, I included those because of bad experiences with companies in those states.
Should be E Florida above

Bonuses at MDI Florida?
I have read that MDI Florida gives bonuses for employees that go the extra mile. I have been there over two years and work hard but have not seen a bonus yet. Do they given them out often or at all? They forgot us for transcription week and do not so anything for birthdays so it would be nice to get something out of it all.
what part of Florida are you in
because it shouldn't really affect your work, if you have a working computer and electricity, you should be able to get work.
It's 10 p.m. and 84 degrees here in Florida.
South Florida, been there
eight years, IC until this May, now Employee
Which MDI? Maryland or Florida nm

Has anyone worked for them?
Move to Florida?

Well I do live in Florida so it's
like a vacation for them every day. We have annual passes to every theme park around here since we are a half hour away from them all including Disney, Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens (1-1/2 hours). For those that want to know how we afford it (since I know it will be asked), Universal has a pass where you can pay monthly. Sea world and Busch Gardens had a 2 year special at Christmas last year that I bought as a Christmas gift. I pay $9 per person per month and free parking with the passes. The Disney passes we won. We go almost every weekend to one of them. In fact, grandma is checking into one of the Disney hotels for the weekend with them so they can go to the parks and then go back to the hotel to rest.
As for the vacation, it's a cruise. It's a big wedding for my closest friend (100+ family and friends are going) and I'm the maid of honor. We discussed it with the 3 oldest before we booked it. Last time we went on a "vacation" alone was when we moved my husband's grandfather down here 8 years ago. We had to go to Tennessee for 3 days, well actually 1 day, one day driving both ways.

One office in Florida
Hello,
MDI (Medical Dictation, Inc.) has one office in Brooksville, Florida. Most of our MT's work at home.
We do have one account with physical therapy work, but do not need help with that at the present time.
Thanks for your post.

FLORIDA TRIP
I have bought plane tickets on the internet. You book your flight online and then you print out your tickets. It all worked out fine. Are you a AAA member? I have used them for our trip to Disney. They took care of everything for us. (FLIGHT, HOTEL, THE PARKS)
Florida Disney
Would anyone who has gone to Disney in Florida recently give me an idea of how much money it takes? My grandkids want this as a goal for saving money and I want to be as realistic as I can with them about the cost and what they need. Thanks.
about that swampland in florida
I keep an Excel sheet on my line counts typing CT, MRIs, MRAs, PETs showing what I would be making per page and/or 65 cpl. Per page is one-half of 65 cpl (50% decrease) in your pay. And that is before any font/margin changes they may make (using Courier 12).
S. Florida never got Ernesto!!! nm
same thing in Florida......nm
CNA Job duties in Florida
Does anyone know if a cna can give injections, administer local anesthesia (lidocaine) in the state of Florida?????
CNA Job duties in Florida
What I am trying to figure out, is that I work with a CNA (as a head nurse! figure that out) that gives patients kenalog injections and also numbs patients before minor surgery with lidocaine. I don't think this is legal. She also works for 3 years as a head nurse without being certified. She never renewed it.
Florida here, No state tax but...sm
I have had to pay occupational license tax for my township and also the city yearly the past 3 years.........but the IRS never penalizes me for paying my taxes yearly for the private side.....I also work for a nat'l and they do take out taxes.
MRC of Maryland/Florida
Please give me feedback on this company ASAP! Good/Bad? Thanks.
SW Florida rates
That's ridiculously low! Is there some way for you to check around among colleagues in your area? 20 years ago I was charging 12 cents per line here in Michigan, and Michigan is certainly not an economic wonderland.
I would also be wary of any hospital telling me that another company is offering to do their work for 8 cents a line. Do you believe them? I certainly would not. I know that there is really nothing you can do in this case, anyway, but I hate deception.
Medscribe Florida
I am sorry, it looks like they are out of Florida.
Florida rates
I have been asked to bid a hospital HIM/RIS account in Florida, which is outside my home state. Does anyone have an idea about the Transcriptionist compensation in Florida and/or the rate for transcription work there? I am in the mid West and know there is a difference.
Thanks, looking for business
Florida Universities
Happen to know of a University in Florida that sounds like Wetger's or Wetcur? I cannot find anything remotely close.
LOL! I hope you live in Florida or
another area with a warm climate that doesn't experience SNOW! LOL!
Thanks for the laugh on an otherwise dull Saturday. 
Questions for anyone in the Florida area...SM
I currently live in Houston and my husband's work might have us relocate to Florida here soon, around Panama City area.
I haven't talked to my work yet, but do most nationals pay any type of different rate when you live in an area with a higher cost of living? Also, what is the going rate for insurance there? We rent now, but will probably look to buy a house when we get there. I am not finding anything less than $260,000 that I am willing to move into. Is this the norm? Any info on the quality of the school districts would also be appreciated. Also, what is the gas, food, clothes, etc., prices like compared to my area? Any info would be appreciated.
Spent 8 years in Florida
Have you tried the realtor sites? If you are looking to rent, use rent.com, apartmentguide.com, forrent.com. Also, go online and look at the online newspaper for that area.
The price of real estate is ridiculous there because of the demand. We once looked at a mobile home and I kid you not, the insulation was hanging out the bottom, no skirting, chickens running around, and the neighbors horses within 5 feet of the back door (free flies too). They wanted 800 a month with 2400 to move in. Even the apartment prices are pretty high for what you get there.
There's a reason why Florida is a peninsula,
