For this account, I charge 0.12 cpl. It is very easy clinic stuff with good dictators, but ...
I also do tapes which are horrible so I'm considering upping my line rate especially if all this aggravation keeps up. When I first took the work, I thought I was being fair because the work was so easy, but then they asked me to do tapes and then work specific hours, print and deliver work three times a week. I wish I would have addressed more than TAT and line rate in the original contract. I do charge them a $5 per delivery fee because of gas prices, but still I think I'm getting the shaft.
Oh well, live and learn. I am negotiating for a local doctor's office here in my hometown, small one doctor office, and I'm here to tell you I will be negotiated every little detail right down to paper and toner charges!
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

I do not get the easy stuff anymore...
Nothings wrong, i've been told i'm just about the best MT. I haven't let it go to my head or anything, but they're right. I still believe some of you are guessing, thats just my opinion.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I just transferred a whole group of on-site hospital MTs to a MTSO (I'm currently a recruiter). The money they made was amazing, and was killing the hospital. They all now work for a national.
On the flip side, I just went back to work for a hospital as an MT, the job was advertised recently on an MT board. Great bennies, I know the docs already as it is a local account, great pay. They were once with two major national MTSOs, decided they could do a better job themselves...and from what I've seen, I'm sure they do.
Good, bad or UGLY
Geez guys, I see no work, slow work, and when there is work - "it's bad". What does it take to make you people happy???????
Good, bad, ugly...
I've worked for several MT companies and have seen "it all" (no flames, I'm sure there are MTs here who have been working longer than I've been breathing). Anyway, have seen MDs who dictate every few words and expect us to fill in the blanks, had MDs who question in the beginning of the report "I wonder how many days until I get this job back, they must type them on the moon or something" etc.... Then there are the gems out there too, ie "I'm sure you can tell I'm dictating from my car, first of all sorry about that, but I'm on my way to a Steelers game, I sure hope you like the Steelers" As with any profession "Takes all kinds" :)
i don't send stuff to editing. i have been doing this for years. it's easy money and my QA r
And I got all my hair and my BP is fine.
There are good points and there are bad and ugly points. Unfortunately, the bad and ugly get
deleted. Just the other day there was info and it seems to be more positive. Like any MT job, some love it, some hate it. But, having been employed there, the bad parts are/were true. The changes sound great but not great enough to make me change my mind about working for them. I do say she pays well for the area. She is one of the rare business owners who actually started out as an MT..I think that makes a big difference in pay.
Precyse. Good, bad, ugly?
thanks!
Platforms - the good, bad, and the ugly!
Would like to know what platforms are user-friendly and which ones slow you down. Currently working on one that slooooows me down so much!!!
Don't get weird stuff happening when using ShortHand. Easy to use; not like Instant Text. nm

I have had the good, the bad and the ugly in QA people in the past sm
It shapes the way I do my job, on both sides of the equation.
Right now, I am teaching an MT to do acute care with my feedback. I must be doing something right (she is too and trying very hard) because she is progressing so nicely. She does rad too and she said that my help is making her a better rad MT as well.
I so rarely send anything to QA at my other FT job and I had to send one yesterday, the first in over a month! I was so p o 'd, but the doctor threw some obscure equipment at me and I had 7 blanks, but that was for only 3 words I could not document well enough to suit me. My favorite QA gal grabbed it and gave me some feedback on the words and she went on to tell me what a good job I did (not!) because she said that most MTs have 10 to 20 blanks for this same doctor. I almost never have a blank with him, but this one time...it was a complex lower extremity interventional vascular procedure and I am not up on the equipment for those just yet with the switch to cardiovascular from OP notes. I felt like a fool, but she was great.
I have some really awful ones and there is one in particular who comes to mind because of her extremely condescending and childish manner. I actually have the QA position for a gal who was fired because of a similar attitude problem.
As QA, we are around to be the MT's safety net. We here for an extra set of ears so that the document is as full and correct as possible. Providing feedback helps an MT so that the quantity of their work going to QA will diminish. If you really want a justification for your existence as a QA, it is in the number of blanks you fill in and low numbers of jobs you have to review. IT IS NOT a promotion! IT IS NOT job advancement! It is using the knowledge you have gained to help others.
I can sort of understand the attitude because MTs seem to be having more issues with quality than they used to, or so it seems to me. The quality most lacking is a sincere wish to do the job well.
ExText is great. Access all the old stuff. Easy to insert cc's. Line counts can sometimes

I meant it in a good way, and I will not turn this into a huge ugly post.
I am not a "paranoid mass of jelly", for Heaven's sakes! But I have lived thru having neighbor children try to poison my puppies over our fence in similar circumstances - not identical, but similar. These same kids used to stuff picked flowers in my mailbox, and I never knew how to take it. I just asked that she be extra cautious. Obviously you ladies have been blessed with not being confronted in life with strange "encounters" like this - I have, and have tried to learn from it. There used to be no more trusting person than myself. I have learned, though, to be cautious in situations like this - not paranoid, just cautious. Wisdom, some would call it? For what its worth, my sister is a psychiatrist, and she thought the flowers creepy as well, but in a different analytical light - with her mother's and sibling(s) death of late, and her expressing that she wanted the puppy killed, to my sister, she said they could be symbolic of flowers on a grave. Not paranoid - she's nearly 60 years old and deals with school-aged kids on a daily basis. Her "job", so to speak. Again, probably a 100% innocent gesture, but to those of us who have had encounters with the "children from H*ll", it could be eery. My post was meant out of genuine concern for Puppy Mom!
Emdat platform?? Good, bad or ugly? Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance. NM

I have seen it done unfairly, as well.
There are good reasons to do it a lot of the time, but I have seen it go the other way too. You are not being paranoid. A supervisor's job is to get the work done well and on time. Sometimes you have to play favorites. However, this not a perfect world. You have good supervisors and not so good ones. It is just like in any work setting, if your supervisor does not like you, do not expect good treatment in most cases.
You may well have been treated unfairly
There are so many different situations. I'm not saying you weren't treated badly. What I deal with sometimes is ridiculous. Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback, no effort to look drug spellings up. AND an attitude toward me!
Posts are up for grabs. Private message is not. You would only post publicly to what, stir SM
something up? If you had an honest question, the proper thing to do would have been to ask the question privately. Otherwise, you look like you are trying to rile people up when you already know how everybody feels.
Hey, there we go! Good stuff, Maynard.
That's what we needed with the IC stuff, keep it real, now.
Good way to keep her accounts. SOMEONE has to read this stuff over
EVERYONE makes mistakes.
Happy for you that you found the good stuff...sm
Happy that you found a better man than the first husband. I, too, was married to a controlling (though he didn't get far with me in that regard because I cannot be *controlled* and since I'm a teenager) french frog whom I divorced 15+ years ago for my SANITY. My sanity became an issue and I became my own Hero........and have been V_E_R_Y happy DAILY without him. *L*
I will never marry again....fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me. I believe marriage is NOT normal...but hey, that's just me.....I believe marriage is an institution and I do not need to be institutionalized. 
Yeah really Tinks... must be some good stuff!
If you want the good stuff, work GRAVEYARD, or

They are giving good stuff to pets and newbies, and if you

Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??
Good and easy latkes!
Thanks so much for the wish! I buy the frozen latkes from Trader Joe's, and they are quick and easy. Yummy with Daisy light sour cream and applesauce. Our kids absolutely love them.
This is a good career, but it is not easy. sm
I work about 30 hours a week and make around 1500-1800 a month. It depends on your typing speed and your stamina, and mine are just average. Some make more per hour, some less.
It is hard work. You are constantly being challenged to learn new things, the medical field moves very fast.
There are a lot of changes going on now, with many of the companies sending work to other countries to be done. Some feel there won't be any jobs in a few years, but I don't think this way. Many of us may be editing off-shore work, and that can cut down on the paycheck.
I personally think that there will always be a place for really well-trained individuals. You just have to search harder to find the right job for you. Some of us are used to making $20-30 an hour in the past (I was), and it is discouraging to work for so much less. But I think the new graduates who get jobs are more optimistic.
You might go to the "New MT/Student" section of this forum and post a message, get the opinions of some of the newer MTs.
Those are both good schools, not cheap, but I believe both will help you get a job if you make good grades.
You'll hear both positive and negative on this board, so sift through and judge for yourself. Just remember, this is not a "quick fix," but a long-term commitment that can pay off well, if you check things out and it really is right for you.
Good luck whatever you do.

It is only easy if everything falls into place, i.e. good docs, repetition, macros/expander -sm
This is not the norm. I average 130-175 lph, so it would take me a bit longer than 3 hours to make $100 (I am only PT now so I don't make much more than $50 a day) , and as she would be starting out fresh at a new job, probably with a national doing nothing but ESL the odds are she won't be making $100 in 3 hours.
It's Dictaphone's ExText and it's good/easy, but some feel the line counts are skewed at
