Thanks SO very much. This will make the holiday extra special. nm
Pure opinion dear. I make an extra 1 cpl with CMT. As well,
I can see that you, however, are an angry, disgruntled person.
Just because YOU didn't get the bennies and YOU can't make a good living doesn't mean the rest of us are doomed to your fate!!
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?

Extra shift or extra work
Has anyone taken on an extra job or shift with a new company for a just a few months to get out of debt or to be able to pay for something that is needed or wanted? I am thinking about taking on another job to get out of a stressful debt situation. I am just afraid I would be going into another stressful situation working more hours with the very busy family schedule I have.
extra help
maybe I should look into being a subcontractor. Do you find this on the job seeker's board from time to time? Thanks!
I only do an extra cpl.
Unless there are a ton of STATs, it doesn't cause that much of a TAT issue.
Ditto for getting nothing extra for anything and not getting any better.
extra money
I operate a computerized accounting service - bookkeeping, taxes, payroll.
HRBLOCK.Com has classes online. If your good in math, might be a good fit. Flexible hours, good pay. I have my own clients but have worked for them before. I plan to get an advanced certification to specialize in sole proprietors, partnerships, S-corps, etc. Just shi----n around, I can make $5000 during tax season. Before I had my baby, I made 14,000 during tax season.....Sky is the limit if you're a fast learner.....
I do. I have an extra VoiceWriter but SM
not the modem thing - which is what will probably go! The LX-219 is cheap on ebay but the modem is not so cheap.
I have no backup computer but I there are other computers in my house that I could use.
What extra services...
I was wondering if any of you MTSOs, or MTs that work for an MTSO, offer any extra services to your clients? For example, do you do their envelopes and labels as well? Or anything else? Keeping in mind that you are not in the same town and that your employees are not in the office or even same state as you, lol. Thanks for any suggestions!
curious
I think that is 0.03 per line extra. nm

Extra money
I did paper routes!
I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
have extra taken out of his but enough to pay 100% of last years...sm
So if your total tax bill for last year was $4000, you need to make sure by the end of this year that he has had $4000 (plus a little extra for fudge) taken out. Otherwise you will get fined. Probably easier to get it taken out of his than to do the extra forms to fed and state and write the checks and keep track and add it to your income tax form next year...
You have to pay extra to get the Dongle
A little thing that plugs into your USB so that you can use it unlimited times. I think that cost about $30 extra. That's why I did because I know for a fact that I'll need more than 3 installs.
I use an extra bedroom currently. We
homeschool and I also have a couple of bookshelves in my office filled with school stuff and a 3-drawer rolling cart filled with school stuff, plus another desk and printer stand in addition to mine, and a 2-drawer filing cabinet. When I am organized and have everything off the floor and clean I am very comfortable in my space, but when I have piles of books and other stuff on the floor and on the desk it isn't as pleasant a place to be.
I have worked in a BR that I had all the baby's things/toys in and that wasn't so bad because at the time I didn't have all the gadgets I have now.
I have also worked in a corner of my den and I liked being out with the family and the kitchen was right off the family room, but it is hard to work with someone watching TV and talking around you.
No..I mean 900 EXTRA lines. SM
Meaning, I get paid the incentive pay from lines 1100 to lines 2000 (or a TOTAL of 900 lines out of 2000). Hope this helps clear it up.

Some places will pay extra for
longer to transcribe. My company does. It does help.
Not that many places pay extra for CMT (nm)

Extra Typing...Anyone?
Does anyone do any extra typing on the side...other than medical transcription? Maybe something like manuscripts or anything like that? I love to type and have my medical accounts, but just looking for something a little extra, without being on a strict TAT, etc. Just wondering. Thanks.
anyone who needs to plug in an extra USB
You can go to Walgreen's and buy a Hub for $10.00 apx and then plug it into the computer. However, if it doesn't work at first, unplug it and then plug it back in. This only works for the mouse, keyboard and foot pedal, not the printer plug. The printer plug must be plugged in directly into the computer.
Always asking for extra work.
Do you all get as tired as me when the QA people are constantly hawking the MTs to do extra work. Every day its the same old thing - but they do it in a very passive aggressive "pretty" way. I figure, if there's that much work constantly, hire more MTs. I mean, how much can we stare into the screen!!
I get 0.08 for everything, nothing extra for STATs. nm

Oh, God forbid we get an extra two keystrokes
pretty obvious what side of the fence they're on
Does anyone else earn extra money.....
I transcribe 200+ pages per month at $5.00 a page for a local hospital and write resumes as well. The resumes pay better and have over 7000 in my repertoire, however, my first love is MT.
For all the extra hours I put in on DQS to get my lines, no way.

extra money on the side

![image](http://www.mtstars.com/picts/spacer.gif")
My hands kill me just about every day now, and looking at my hands i have muscle breakdown and twitching, so i'd like to cut down on typing. Want to find something to do on the side to earn maybe 1000 to 1500 dollars a month. Was thinking about ebay, but i'm doubtful I could make that much, even though they hype up the advertisement by saying you could make 3000 MINIMUM. I'm just desperate and feel like my hands are about to fall off. I've spent close to 1000$ this year alone in keyboards, gloves, splints, doc visits, meds, changed my station around, hot soaks, cold soaks, exercises, stretches, vitamins. still my hands just sing every day esp at night. So any extra money earning ideas you guys? thanks |

Why pay the extra 100 bucks for all that fancy
crap on IT if you use it like you would shorthand? Does not make sense to me.
Extra work possibility
Just wanted to post something that might help those of you looking for work... while I realize this is a medical transcription board, with our work being outsourced more and more each day, we have to do what we have to do to earn a paycheck.
After talking with a police officer and hearing how many hours they spend doing written reports of calls/incidents, I mentioned that it was too bad they could not dictate their reports and have them transcribed. He really liked the idea and so did I as I thought more about it. I finally scheduled an appointment with the Chief of Police and made a proposal to him. I had to do some research -- average pay per hour of a police officer x hours per day spent writing reports, etc, -- but that was not too difficult to get.
To make a long story short -- he tried this with a couple of his officers on their lengthy and very detailed reports.
Because it allows more time for actually being a police officer instead of being tied up writing illegible reports by hand, they love the idea.
I submitted my bid, which was approved, and the contract was signed. There is never a dull moment with this!
I have extra wave pedal
What is your email address? I have extra wave pedal. You may have it - no charge. ssc
the holidays and working extra
... it happens every year, people want extra money for the holidays and so everyone is working a little bit extra and in the end, we run out of work. AND THEN we sit around during our own shifts waiting for work to file in.
They took the extra and gave it all to your teamleader.

And dunk the extra into chocolate!
 I am changing the meaning of this emoticon. She is melting chocolate! 
Thanks for reminding me I have bananas in my freezer, lol. Maybe I'll make some banana bread today too.
I work Mon-Sat, but only scheduled for M-F. Need the extra $. nm

oops, sorry about the extra text

Anyone have any ideas on how to get some extra money? sm
I have been working a lot over the past several months. I had gotten sick and missed some work so many months back. Got behind on my mortgage, car payment, etc...I am almost caught up but it seems like the little bit more that I have to go, about 2k, I cannot get caught up. My work is limited...Any suggestions? I am so close to throwing in the towel, which is not good. My husband is disabled. Help.
to "Need extra money"
I hope things work out for you. One more thing, don't be afraid to get help from local charities, churches, etc. They are there to help. Remember that ;-)
I've had a rough day so I'm going to bed soon. Take care and keep us posted on how things turn out.
Hang in there!!!!!!!
I think there's a difference between going the extra mile
and not going at all. I used to spend lots of time, probably way too much time, looking up words in the pre-production days, but those days are over, and those kinds of questionable words get left as blanks. That's not the same thing as not trying at all.
So, at the 1 extra cent per line . . .
with making an extra $6000 per year, you are transcribing 50,000 lines per month? Wow. I'm impressed.
does anybody get paid extra for doing STATs? sm
if so, how much of a difference to you get for STATs versus normal cues? i am tired of getting hounded by STATs cuz they are "urgent" but yet no extra compensation for them. these days it seems over half my work load is STATs and my TAT is 24 hours for my regular pay versus 4 hours for STATs with no extra money. 
I get stats all day long, no extra $$.
Personally, I love the pressure...almost feel like I'm needed for a few minutes there ;-) Sick, I know.
I'm also an on-call person on nights and weekends every other week or so and I honestly really enjoy that...THAT I get paid extra for and that gig is SWEET!
I have the RHIA (more than RHIT) and I don't get any extra! nm

Had to pay extra for not having Vista at Dell..
My college bound daughter received a DELL laptop for graduation from grandparents. They had to pay extra for them NOT to put Vista programing and just XP.
Demographics/extra work
How many of you are being asked to do more demographic work and other extras in your job that do not apply to your line count? An email went out telling us that these areas "had to be filled in" because it caused too much work for the hospital if we didn't do it - but these demographics do not add to our line count - so I have a hard time understanding why we are to take 2-5 minutes in each report to do work that we are not paid for - for one report it doesn't seem like that much - but add it up to all that you do in a week - and well, that's a big pay decrease from where I stand. How many of you are dealing with this problem. It is probably not a new one - just new to me.
Shorthand and extra spaces
I've briefly searched the archives, but I must get busy typing. I've noticed in my ShortHand program that sometimes after I expand there will be an extra space and I have to go backspace to fix it. Any recommendations? Thanks!!
Do you have extra time to give away? For us
x
I definitely get punished for not working extra.
They cut my workload for the rest of the week if I don't take on extra when they need it. I'm not in this to cover their backsides when they overcommit or understaff. I've got kids, another job, a husband and a life that need to be attended to on a daily basis. I can't just put all that other stuff on hold and work extra with no overtime/incentive pay. I know this business is rarely steady. It's feast or famine, but WHY, WHY, why do they always push me to do more than our original contract stipulated?
I would work extra if it is not asked of me
too often. Would you rather they hire extra help and then there may not be enough work to go around?
Yeah, i need the extra cash
my husband passed away in january. I need the promotion or I have to get a second job and I thought to work at home would be good because I still have a 15 year old at home. Oh well, I was trying to get prepared, but God will provide. I'm sure it will all work out. The hospital I work for has been very good to me so I count my blessings there. Thanks!
Webcam modeling for extra $?
Does anyone here who works from home also do webcam modeling for extra money? I work from home as a MT and thought it might be a good idea to try out webcam modeling for some extra cash. I'm at home on my computer almost 24/7 anyways.
In my opinion, you do not need extra training. sm.
I made the transition from Acute Care to Radiology. Radiology is much easier to type than Acute Care. You may have new terms for procedures and techniques, but I would say you would have that wrapped up in about 2 weeks. If you run into a new term, look it up. Its that simple, I promise! Good luck to you!
