Terra Nova Transcription
I recently applied with Terra Nova Transcription and typed their tests and found them to be great to deal with so, perhaps you should check them out! They were in contact with me right away. There's nothing worse than waiting......... 
How to apply to Terra Nova
Hello June,
I applied by sending my resume to information@terranovatrans.com. I then got a response from one of their HR staff. I do have some good news though, I was speaking to a friend of mine (who is also an MT) who knows somebody that works at Terra Nova and they love it there. So, I think I'm going to accept the offer!
Is there any more feedback?

Speech at Terra Nova ????
Anyone know if Terra Nova has started doing Speech yet and what they are paying ?
Is Terra Nova owned by a guy that lives on the border of Maine/Canada? - sm
If so, this guy is a snake. He was willing to pay $0.14/line for the Kaleida account just temporarily until he could get his lines set up to offshore. He told me that on the phone!!!
Depends on what kind of hospital? Large urban hospital or small community hospital? SM
Also, is it a large teaching hospital? If so you have to consider there will be A LOT of different residents dictating, usually a lot of ESLs at teaching hospitals, and the residents rotate out and new ones rotate in every summer. So you can't expect to get the same dictators and build up your macros because the dictators change all the time.
I would say 9 cpl would be a pretty good offer for a small to medium community hospital where you will be doing the same dictators on a daily basis. But for bigger, urban or teaching hospitals I would want at least 12 to 15 cpl.

Hospital. I wish I'd never left my hospital job.
They'll only take me back if I start off working nights and weekends again at the bottom of the totem pole.
If you work for a hospital - how come no one from the hospital
called you?? Were they in the dark, as well?? How sad, that no one in your hospital communicates with the at home staff.
Does MQ really seem like they want MTs? It doesn't seem like it
When you make something so complicated, difficult, cumbersome, and frustrating, that sends me the message they aren't really wanting to be in the business. As far as I'm concerned, they have sent me a signal they don't want me to work for them. Wonder who they sent those surveys to.
What? DQS doesn't use
What the heck are you talking about? They are getting ready to put PRD on my machine. Why would they do that if we can't use word expanders?
Just because I am an MT doesn't mean that
transcription. If that's all you have in your life I feel sorry for you. You're a miserable hateful human being and people like you are the reason I started working at home in the first place.
Try to have a nice day.
She probably doesn't know how to use it.

No she doesn't......
She sounds like someone who's telling it exactly like it IS and knows what it's all about. Things are and have been rapidly changing in our industry and all other industries, for that matter, my dear. There ain't no free lunch any longer....SURPRISE!! Better get with it or you WILL be left out. Not a threat, just facts.................You can take it or leave it, but you'd be wise to take it.....from one sistah to another....
Well said. Like you said, it doesn't
majority of people have had alcohol in their past. People who are more prone to being alcoholics will likely become addicted before they even realize what happened. There is also a component of denial before you admit to the problem. I am not saying everyone that comes from a family with problems will become an addict with something, whether it is food, drugs, alcohol, etc., but it does play a role; and to dismiss that fact, is only being judgmental. "You have a problem; well you created it, bottom line." I think that if you know there is a tendency in your family, you can take measures to stay away from addictions; but sometimes bad stuff just happens to good people. I think we all might have a few problems we aren't exactly proud of. And for someone who overeats and is obese, it is no different than someone who is an alcoholic. I am not talking about people who have medical conditions either that might cause them to be obese, so don't start getting upset people.
I have a huge family history of alcoholics and mental disorders. I myself have some chemical imbalances and have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and OCD. I recognize that and take measures to be able to live the healthiest life I can.
that doesn't mean we can do anything about it
anyone not getting paid should contact their company and the bank
This was all before 9/11 (which doesn't
excuse Clinton by any means), but has anyone noticed that these outsourced jobs are going into the back yards of Afghanistan and Pakistan? Don't any American officials worry about the potential danger to Americans associated with that?
One does, one doesn't.........
Our Super Center asks to see receipt for big items not in a bag, but our small store across town does not. Our Sams Club has a person that looks at the receipt as you're exiting the store. Every item has to be accounted for that is on that receipt. Also, none of the items are bagged at Sams.
I don't know why my DH doesn't get that!?!
IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, AIN'T NOBODY HAPPY. I mean this is common sense! HELLO! :D

Doesn't everything? jk

Well...I'm sure he doesn't
like me very much. But, I'm not really concerned with that to be honest with you. He wasn't a very nice person to begin with, and when I tried to be friendly and in a nice manner ask him to please not play his music so loudly so late at night, he basically ignored my requests. I am not a mean person and don't want to cause trouble for anyone, but I felt I needed to do to do something in that situation to make sure that my son and I could get a decent nights sleep. The police cannot tell the person who called them. But I'm sure he probably knew it was me because I had asked him to turn down his music already. He has never confronted me about it though. We just live our separate lives in peace and quiet. :-)
To me, it doesn't.....
I agree. I just wish the pay matched that thought, as I'm sure the street sweepers do. LOL
I'm in my 50s and it doesn't get better *LOL*.nm
Well, actually it doesn't mean a . . .
heck of a lot in the "real" world. If it gives someone satisfaction to get either the RMT or CMT, good for them. However, I would never consider it a real credential. Now R.N., M.D. or even EMT MEAN something and people recognize those. RMT? Registered massage therapist is what that stands for to most people.
Personally, I think the majority of those taking the beta test (at a whopping $90 a pop) are newbies to the field, misled by their online school.
I would love to see the AMA step in and take over all MT issues...now there would be some BIG clout, and some real credibiltiy, if they were in charge. 
Again, it doesn't have to be that way...
Not all companies are all about paying next to nothing and neither are the doctors. If we as MTs refused to visit a physician if they offshored their back office work and convinced one family member or friend to do the same, believe me, that would certainly get some attention.
An organization for the MTs would basically give us what the AAMT won't. Who is going to have better resources than fellow working MTs? Who is going to know who the better employers are? Who is going to be able to bring up an important issue and try to really make a difference with it? I sure hope we aren't going to rely on AAMT for that.
We are in a global marketplace, but that doesn't mean we are out of the ballgame. We need to make US practitioners understand the advantages of having US-based services especially in this field. Besides that, we certainly don't have much left to lose. If we all just took a little time and made a little effort, things might start to turn around. If they don't, at least we gave it a go.
Why come here to ask...who doesn't know..
to live conservatively and QUIT! If you are married or in a relationship with the other person contributing financially, why bother keeping your job? Maybe someone less fortunate than you needs it. This is something to discuss with a financial planner and your family.
I have one like that, but he doesn't
He says - "oh my, oh dear, oh my, oh dear" I actually have to laugh. It's either that or get mad b/c he's single handedly destroying my line count. One night, I put it on speaker and left my husband listen. We seriously thought he was going to sh*t himself, he was getting so worked up over not being able to find the vital signs. Hysterical!
Doesn't it seem odd
that the only way to type enough lines (to make any money) in this profession is to be able to use tons of short cuts and chunk-of-text macros? - - Kind of like having to use steroids to compete in sports now-a-days!!
Actually it doesn't
"Association for Healthcare Document Integrity"
the India part is my own little joke, with more than a grain of truth to it.
Don't know why it doesn't.
x
it doesn't for me
It should but doesn't. I have toggled the CS Expander to "off" and have made various adjustments in the "preferences" for ShortHand to no avail. I still get double expansions or missed letters/word fragments. On another thread, someone mentioned that either ShortCut or Instant Text should work, thus my question about ShortCut (I can't afford Instant Text).
ugh...she still doesn't get it.. nm
never will.
if an MT doesn't know about sm
using reference material and looking up words or is too lazy to look things up for fear they won't make enough money, they should not be in this business. That is what the job IS!
hospital MT
Call the hospital. You can offer a better deal to them. Most MTSOs charge the hospitals a lot more than what they pay out for the actual work done. I work for a hospital. I asked for a raise after 10 years, they baulked, started looking at outsourcing. They changed their mind really quick when they found out how much they would charge them. (four times what they paid me).
Hey, if you don't want that hospital job can I
have it? Just kidding (only because it's probably not where I live in central Florida). Started working at home for the kids over 10 years ago, but they are all grown now and I realize I don't know anyone because I hardly ever leave the house!!
hospital job
My situation too. Son out of the house now. Still know all the people at the hospital as I worked there for 10+ years and still do side typing for one of the units there that were not taken over when they outsourced! So seriously considering it....Sorry, its in PA!
I think they did that to us at the hospital
but no O/T. But you could get on there and do BONUS MINUTES at 6/cents a line all you wanted.
I always felt like that should have been illegal. If I'm working, then I'm working. If I'm an hourly employee - then anytime I'm working!!!!! I should be an employee and thus paid HOURLY WAGES. But they got away with it. Sort of a hybrid deal.
They screw us any way they can.
 (good little screws all in a row)

Hospital pay
I make about $15 per hour at my hospital job in Washington state and have recently quit that to work out of my home. However, I have not yet found any home job that even comes close to that when being paid based on lines.
hospital pay
i make 21/h. living in the hawaiians islands, thats actually pretty good
hospital pay
my main job is at the hospital and i would never leave it especially with all the benefits and good pay. ic has its benefits when it comes to tax time, but as far as job security and being a single mom, i choose to stay at a guaranteed $20/h. too many people are unhappy with the problems of security in this line of work and i dont want that to happen to me.
Hospital pay
Out here in Oregon, all hospitals pay from 14 to 19 plus benefits. Am considering going with Kaiser after the first of the year and having my I/C's run my business. Have one doctor retiring after the first and deciding whether to do all my own accounts and make $40K doing 30 hours per week without benefitis enjoying life and not saving much or going with Kaiser at 18.50 per hour with benefits and having the I/C's doing 80% of my work and I will type parttime on the weekends. Have only 10 more years to work. Have been offered work at Kaiser, Providence and Good Samaritan Hospitals so the work is out there.
Hospital pay
At least with the hospitals out here in the west, they always have posted salary ranges and you can usually always exept with decent experience to start in the middle somewhere and reach the top in 5 years. Worked in HR in a large hospital for a bit. They always post the salary ranges here with positions and with that you go in with a bit of knowledge. I never did see one start at the top though. Good luck.
Hospital job
Let us know how things go. I would fear that they see MT as just "typing" and would give you so many secretary duties that the MT part would be pushed to the back burner.
TAKE THE HOSPITAL JOB - sm
national services lose accounts all the time whether it is nonrenewal of contract or fired, or whatever, your pay is never the same from week to week with a service, you may have extra transcriptionists on your account all of a sudden, work load varies, etc.
With the hospital work, you know your doctors, you have guaranteed hours and work and even down time (some services don't offer that), overtime, benefits, etc. Some hospitals even offer reimbursement on college courses - CAN AN MTSO SERVICE OFFER THAT?? Some hospitals have family leave time for 12 weeks of maternity!! Can an MTSO service offer that?
Take the hospital job!
Take the hospital job...
Those are only real "for sure" MT jobs out there anymore. I worked for years for a service but since I took my at-home hospital job, I feel like somebody for the first time in the eyes of my employer. We are all local, so we have staff meetings and come into the department for different things, yearly reviews, parties, etc. We're all in touch via e-mail and know each other face-to-face too. I get paid by the house, have a set schedule, and can earn incentive pay too. I have paid holidays, benefits, and am a hospital employee except work at home. I love it, would never EVER go back to clawing for lines at a service who barely knows my name.
