This happens to be the company computer.
Just tired of the techs refusing to take responsibility and never fixing anything.
It IS the company computer??
OMG
I never said it was a company computer. nm

Yes, I've let my company access my computer.
I used to do the same for one of my MT clients and for remote users as a computer technician. You can sit there and watch everything they do. It's not like they're hacking your computer or keylogging your data. You can shut them down if you're uncomfortable with what they're doing, and delete their access capability when they've finished.
Your own computer with company software
I recently had company software installed on my computer, and it got me wondering something. Have you ever suspected that a company installed any type of tracking or keylogger software on your own computer when they installed your software? I don't think my company did, but I wouldn't put it past some of these companies.
Thanks, but it's a company computer and we not allowed
to do anything to it. Any updating, etc. is done by IT only.
Any other tips or thoughts on my original post appreciated.
My company sent me a large tower computer to
I appreciate the computer, but the tower is huge! My desk doesn't have any place for a tower (it's not a computer desk and I can't afford to buy one). What's a good way to place the tower so that all the wires will fit (other than on top of the desk?).
True. I was told this by a friend who is a computer tech at a company
here in town. He was going to do it for me. No way would I try to do it myself. Luckily, I was able to buy one with XP on it from Dell.
When buying a new computer would you use a company locally that builds new computers or go with Dell
or a large outfit like that. This local company has been around awhile. Not sure what to do about buying a new computer that is going to be compatible with just about all MT jobs.
You have provided that option already. (SM)
When you posted, you filled in your e-mail address in the e-mail field. It activates a Reply By E-Mail option for those who want to e-mail you. Your e-mail address will not be revealed even when they e-mail you. If you reply to the e-mails you receive, then your e-mail address will be revealed by your own reply.
Most likely the modem will be provided by (sm)
the phone company (at least it was for me by Verizon).
What is there to handle? You provided
It's not your problem if they discovered afterwards they handed you already completed work. I can't believe you'd even ask the question.
Then quit already. MT has provided
no other job I could do where I could have made the money I am making without a college degree. Yep, I started out with low pay. Instead of whining about it, I got a lot of experience under my belt, worked in a hospital for quite a few years and learned MT inside and out, can transcribe any speciality and any type of report, and now I am reaping the benefits. You reap what you sow. Complaining never helped anyone get ahead. Hard work and a willingness to do whatever it takes does. I am living proof, as are many of my MT colleagues. I was never one to complain, I just took what was available, worked hard and learned everything I could, and look for the next opportunity that offered more pay and through the years have gone from about $6 an hour to now a whole lot more. I won't bother to say how much because you'd tell me I'm lying. Fine with me if you don't believe me, but I now get 15 cpl (own accounts) and can transcribe 300+ lines per hour. You do the math. I didn't get here by whining about how bad I had it or how overworked and underpaid I was. Even at $6 an hour I did my best and worked hard and I have been rewarded for that many times over. I got valuable experience in those years working for a hospital for not much money. I learned things I never could have learned working for a service. Now it's paying off.
Some people are just not cut out to be MTs. Maybe that's the case with some of you who are complaining.
Were you being provided with feedback? If not, did you ask? How long did you
work for them?
If you work for MQ, how come they haven't provided
you with a foot pedal? Ask and see if they'll send you one.
One day I had to go to my local MQ office to have them look at my computer, and on my way out, they handed me a foot pedal for the "new upcoming platform."
Then when I received my computer rental in the mail a couple of months later, they sent me another foot pedal (same as the first one). A back up?
And finally, when they trained me for the new platform a couple of months ago, the booklets, some new headphones, and a NEW PEDAL came in a nice box to me!
So anyway, as an owner of three foot pedals free from MQ, give 'em a try. 
absolutely true, provided
You're responsible with your money. But if you're one to spend carelessly, you're going to wish you had a credit card if you need some major car repairs or something of that nature.
So I suppose the real "need" is simply having available cash when you need it (not want it).
Don't get excited. You should have provided it to begin with. nm

I would use hyphens in the examples you provided. sm
I would put 32-year-old male, but no hyphen if it's something like *Patient is 32 years old.* (Same with 11-pound weight loss vs pt has lost 11 pounds.) I can't quote the rule on this offhand, but whatever the rule is, I personally I think the hyphens make it easier to read/understand.
Provided bennies were identical?

My employer provided mine because I do QA as well..
I skimmed through it one day and highlighted only 5 sections or parts that would benefit anything...the rest I thought was a big waste of time and paper...
but software/equipment provided by my employer. nt
When my mother had cancer, hospice provided me
The hospital may also be a source of information on where you can get forms. The POA is an actual legal document. You could try to 'google' for free forms. You may want to think about a general POA so you can handle her finances, also, in case she becomes totally incapacitated. It makes a big difference in handling her affairs - without those papers, it makes it a lot harder to handle her affairs for her, including paying her bills and making decisions. Don't wait - get it done now just in case things get worse. Good luck and best wishes.

Despite the information provided, I know firsthand these can be modified with some engineering expertise and/or advice, which I would be happy to provide if you so desire......
No. It is not worth losing hospital-provided benefits.
You have the best of both worlds. Hang on to it while you can.

Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

Most companies do no use their only files (HIPAA). They use files provided by other companies, serv
If you can get through the test files, then the sound quality on the actual company files is better. And, the dictation is never as bad as the test files, plus you have QA to help with hard blanks.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t

The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
It can vary from company to company.
If a company is on one coast and you on the other it can affect shift time, meaning usually if you want to start work 9-10 instead of 11 you could for 3rd shift, etc.
Buy your own... company computers are for that company only!

some of what you want to know varies from company to company,
client to client. The services each have their own QA grading system and you will get a copy at hire that tells you everything they deduct, and for how many points. This usually also includes formatting, such as wrong dates, right exam/wrong patient, etc.
You will need to know your punctuation and grammar first and foremost and use it properly, this is what you do. THEN if the client requests garbage in/garbage out (usually because they don't trust leaving anything up to us), you give it to them even though it hurts -- and should not be marked off QA for it.
Where do you study? Colleges with the 2 yr transcription course in my state make you take a year (or 2) of English grammar. No offense, but it's pretty much a 5th/6th grade review (is vs are, doctors' vs doctor's).
blanks will be limited, usually to 2, before you cannot send the report to client.
Wrong shortcuts - pay attendion to detail.
Varies from company to company
My first company I chose specifically because I knew they had a mentoring program and you had 12 weeks of "mentoring" to get up to speed. The training was very thorough. The first week was all training classes. There were very limited samples (1-2 per doc if at all). I worked there 6 months and never made their production quota, but they didn't care. When I asked my account manager about it, she said they knew the account was very difficult 95+% ESLs) and she wasn't worried about my production, that I was doing well.
I have also worked with companies that just did a training over the phone (usually about an hour) just to learn the platform. Then they did full QA for a day or two and then I was on my own. For both of these companies, I could review all the past reports of the doctors on the platform. That was really nice. I didn't have production requirements with these positions, just a daily schedule that I had to stick to. They just wanted to know when I would be working.
My recent company gave me a 10-minute training over the phone and gave me a couple of samples of a couple of the harder docs. I then had to submit 3 reports to the account manager to review, and then I was off on my own and was required to meet production immediately.
So it all depends. Each company is different. Good luck on the new job!
Try the company board with name of company.
