7200 per month/1800 per week. sm
Yes, my own account- no I do not get paid 8 cpl, more like 17 cpl. Work 25-30 hours a week. Gross pay - no taxes taken out.
My average falls somewhere between 1800 to 2000 lpd and SM
that is in a strictly 8 hour day.  I try to maintain an 8 hour schedule, as if I had a full-time in-office job.  I think organization and adhering to a schedule is important for productivity, for me anyway.
I average 1800 lines per 8 hour day, but have
been doing this 20+ years and have zillions of expanders. I still do lots of research and add expansion asll the time.
Wow! I'm in North Central Florida. Last month's electric bill was $165. sm
I have electric everything and keep the thermostat set at 73. Some folks here with a different electric company have had bills triple to quadruple their normal. You may want to do some investigating.
I average $5000 a month
I usually work 7 days a week. I work for a national full time and have a part time IC position. It's easy for me because I work from home anyway. Instead of lying around watching tv, I go to my computer and work.

Last year, I increased my savings by $24,000. I religiously deposit $2000 a month into savings. If you are willing to work, you can make lots of money. I can work as much as I want to with my IC position.
No benefits either being per diem but definitely ask about the average hours per month you can....

expect to work. Most per diems are only allowed to work a certain number of hours per week. 


Also, find out how much "notice" you will get for working; i.e., will they call you a day or two in advance, or call you the day they want you to work?


The bright side of per diem is that usually a hospital will hire the per diems if they are interested in a full time job before posting elsewhere. It's your foot in the door so to speak.


The new QA plan is that you must have 3 reports proofed every month and maintain a 98% average and
also have less than 15% of your work go to QA with blanks or you will be put on suspension and have all your work go to QA and also to adhere to the AAMT guidelines we were sent that included the one space after a period, etc. etc. That is as much as I remember quite frankly about the whole thing. It is the Amherst office doing this so I guess only the NE is doing this now. I am not really sure. Everytime I turn around it is something new anymore. It gets very tiresome.
Also got rid of our house phone because we all had cell phones and that saves me about 75.00 a month
or so.
A few years ago, Atlanta in-house average was about $12-$15/hour, plus good bennies. nm

By the way, as of about 5 years ago, Wellstar was with a service.  They might not even have in-house MTs.  Hope so for  your sake :).


 


 


I pay $35/month through Vonage for unlimited LD. Local phone co. charges $50/month. NM

1800 lines,
been working since 7:30, about to quit or the day!
1600-1800
if I am lucky enough to have enough work on my primary account. If I have to move to my secondary account it drops considerably to the 1100-1300 range.
What average line count do you type per pay period. what is considered above average and how long

Well, I do about 1800-1900 lines a day
at 8 cpl. I also get some incentive/bonus pay, too.

So, yeah, it can be done. Your statement that anyone working FT from an MTSO can expect to earn less than 25K is extremely self-limited. There are always people who can do more and better.


Cost of living inquiry $1800/mo. (sm)

That's only electric, heat, cable, and mortgage.


Add in insurances, life, health, car etc. and you're talking  another $1200 more. Hubby drives a 12 year old PU truck and I drive a 13 year old car. BUT, 4 more years for our mortage...yippee....but it should have been paid off in 1991. Remortgaged so we could build a larger place. Still not finished with the house and it's been 11 years. No time, no money left over to finish. That's okay. I can deal with that.


how long, on average, average a knee replacement would one be on Oxycontin?(sm)
My DH recently had knee replacement surgery a month and a half ago.  The doctor has been prescribing oxycontin 30 mg this entire time.  Husband has been trying to wean off of it and is down to 10 mg.  He asked the doctor if he could come off it completely and the doc said to "just keep taking it."  His next visit is in two months.  With all the discussion lately about pain medication addiction, is it normal to be on this medication for this long and for the doctor to say "just keep taking it?"  How long should one be on this med?
I had 439 for an hour yesterday, 1800+ if I don't take breaks in 7 to 9 hours.nm

I know a director looking for MTs in central FL
She's an ex-boss who wanted me to work for them but I'm out of state. The facility requires the MTs to be in-state and wouldn't budge on that. She wants to depend on outside services/off-shoring as little as possible and hopefully not at all. Again, another I've found who is nauseated by the whole thing - do I see a hopeful trend? Cardiology background is necessary. Want me to check particulars?

Are they located in Central CA?
I think this place might be local for me.
Central FL hasn't increased at all yet. nm

I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast.  When we first had it, it was down all the time.  It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied.  Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable.  It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour.

desktop calendar Cozi Central
Check out Cozi Central on the web. I LOVE IT! You use a different color for each family member, so you can see everyone's schedule at once. Or you can select one person's schedule. You can schedule a year in advance, if you want. There's a web version and a PC version. The web version can be accessed from any computer anywhere you go. Cozi Central gave me my life back! It's so easy!

This heat is unbearable in central Calif. Air quality is bad. I have never felt so unhealthy.
Over 100 degrees for 30 out of 35 days, the other days were 98 or 99. The air is so bad here in this pocket of the country that people are told to stay indoors. I sit for hours typing and then feel like a slug. Drinking gatorade for hydration and know it is high in sodium but am evaporating here, taking two showers a day as there is a constant dust cloud (particulates ugh).

I want to move but doing it alone at the age I am is a daunting task. What if I end up some place that is just as bad? The expense would make it impossible to relocate again. Wish I were rich...
Awesome stuff! Thanks for all the information. Central, Small, Red nothing comparative to Superb: ht
