Tampa Bay and area, Tampa a city. sm
Tampa Bay is actually the water in the Bay, but the communities along the shore have come to be referred to as Tampa Bay. Not a town, though. Tampa is an actual town.
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.
Tampa
I agree with the poster below. Tampa has really been cleaned up and is quite a beautiful city now. It used to be seedy and sleazy in many areas. My mom used to live there so I visited and spent a few summers there. Tampa is nicer than St. Pete or Clearwater in my opinion. There are plenty of hospitals and the job market is good. Clearwater is very touristy and St. Pete is a bit more of the retirement community atmosphere. Good luck with your decision.

I visited in Tampa (my husband originally from there) last summer and darn the jobs, what about all that barbecue!! It was all over the place. I love it with a passion and am always on the lookout for the best. It would be worth a move there just for that.
Are their any IC in the Tampa, FL area?
Just wondering if there were any other IC in the Tampa/Brandon area, and do you think line rates are cheap around here?? 
Ditto from Tampa!~
We have had more storms the past few years than we know what to do with! You can buy all the canned stuff you want, but if your house is gone what good is it??

Anyone in Brandon/Tampa, FL??
Just wondering if there is anyone in my area that would be interested in doing my IC accounts while I am on vacation 3/18/06-3/25/06.
Let me know if anyone is interested

Great game ysterday!
Tampa Bay area
I have been here for 15 years and still love to drive over the causeway into Tampa it is just so neat having the water all around! I will say that things are more affordable in Tampa but the county taxes are high because you are paying for the Bucs and for many social programs as there is a price to pay to fix a city and make it a place anyone would want to live. Pinellas County (over the Bay and more beach like) is a bit pricier, but there are still affordable places to live. SW Pasco county is also affordable and taxes are lower but so are services. It all depends on what you want/need. Jobs are available. Many hospitals still have inhouse and there are services always looking for good help. I love it here and there is a substantial community of MTs if you need a shoulder to cry/grouse on!!
any Tampa transcriptionists here?
I would love to know - I have a question.
thanks!
I live outside Tampa nm

All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest

i used to work for a company that divided the work types up and i loved it. sm
there were only 4 of us working a major teaching hospital. someone was assigned surgery, different assigned discharges, different admits, etc. we all had the backup work type in case the original assignee wasn't available and were cross trained. it made us much more efficient, ability to get used to dictators, set macros, and in the long run we were all much happier.
The company I work for said cable phone wouldn't work, just FYI.

Dont forget Tampa, too
Well, at least that is where they moved some of us to
I'm not the Tampa poster but live in FL
Florida and especially TAMPA is up and coming - they cleaned up that city (which was a mess 30 years ago) and it's booming and affordable!! That's just my opinion. Also the beaches there are far nicer than the east coast of Florida, again, just my opinion. I hope you find Florida as wonderful as I do but it took me 5 years to really start loving it once I got here. Best of luck, really!!!
Hey tampa typists - I'm moving back despite the storms and despite
how much I hate the lifestyle of Tampa, but what can you do - that is where I make $$$
I don't work for MQ but that happened to me once at the company where I work and
my next two paychecks were shorted out of what they had overpaid me for that pay period. I hope they don't take it out of your hide. It was hard to budget for that month!
Company I work for has to pay fines for work out of TAT.

I work as an IC, work when I want, but I still let the company know if I am going to be unavailable
for any length of time, even though I don't have to.
What company do you work for? Maybe some of

work for a company
When work is low at my company I have
volunteered several times to just work half a day, or take the day off so that another MT who needs the lines more than I do can have the opportunity to at least get in a full day of work.
I don't often have a day where I can't get all my lines in though and there are usually lots of days where I could type 24/7. My work is assigned to me and I have no idea what any MTs workload may be on any given day. Most of the time I work extra if the workload warrants it, but there are days too that work may be slow at the beginning of my shift and I'm just not able to work more later in the day to make up the lines. I'm not complaing about not getting work, but I also don't believe that I need to fit my life and family around my work on a regular basis. I believe that when an MT is hired FT and the company has expectations of how many lines a day they want the MT to produce, then it is reasonable for the MT to expect work. I know the business is feast or famine, but if an MT who if FT and wants to work is consistently not getting enough work during their scheduled shift then there is a problem.
I'm very good at what I do, but I work to live, not live to work, and I don't remember signing anything that said I agreed that my life/family came second to MTing.
Any company that has work right
x
we must work for the same company
The little scale at the top of the page actually calculates total lines, but we do it separately I believe because of keeping track of what each MT does on the log. I keep the log up and type it in as I go and don't fool with writing it down.
Who is the best company to work for?
Can someone please tell me someone you work and are happy. I have 8 years' experience in multi-specialty clinic and acute care (except op notes) and want somewhere with good pay and steady work. I'm tired of bouncing from company to company after they lose your account and don't have enough work to keep you busy. HELP! I am so frustrated with this field. When things are going good, I can do 2000 lines a day and be happy, but then every 6 months or so things go bad with that company and its a few months of transition after things fall apart. I'm about to lose my mind. Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
RE: Who is the best company to work for?
Transcend.
company while i work
 My baby, Simon, (lhasa-poo), loves to lay right up against my foot while I work. You are right - makes me love working at home! What a blessing.
Best company(ies) to work for?sm
I know this subject has probably been posted b4, but I could use some good advice. It's time for me to move on and I am looking around and would appreciate any advice on who is good to work for. I have considerable experience.
Wonder if we work for the same company?
Your story sounds very much like mine. I would be digging out all the garbage docs every day on my secondary while my primary had plenty of work. I was also made to feel *special* because not every MT can do the harder accounts. I want to start pretending that I can only do the easy docs and let someone else do the harder ones. I leave my office pretty frustrated and wiped out at the end of my day now doing nearly all the really tough accounts. How is this fair? Either pay them less if they cannot do them or pay me more!
Anyone work as an IC for more than 1 company?
I'm wondering how this would work out. I am an IC for a company, but don't have enough work in my specialty. I'm not as productive, obviously, when doing a different specialty and am losing money when picking up the left-over work.
Are there others out there who do specialty work as an IC for 2 or more companies? Of even do work for a company and also pick up your own accounts that are not through a company? How has it worked out for you? Do MTSOs usually dislike this or are they generally okay with it. I just don't see myself being able to make a living if I have to keep switching gears when there are no jobs for my specialty.
Thank you for any replies/insight.

The company I work for does not allow sm
you to download their platform onto another computer. They supply the equipment, and if I want to travel, I have to take their CPU with me.

You must be new with the company you work for, right?
Just wait until you start getting the *real stuff* after the break-in period.
The company I work for
docks you $1 per blank after a certain amount, but I have the same dictators all the time and that didn't start until after the usual training period. It has never made a real big difference in pay. You get used to your dictators and normally don't have more than that certain amount of blanks that are allowed before deduction.
If you work for a company you
and it depends on how many hours you put in to get 400 lines. If you have to do it in 2 hours, it will take you longer to reach that 400 lines than if you have 4 hours or so, especially if you have been out for a while. Once you are working and getting used to it again, you will have no trouble meeting those 400 lines in a few hours, or even less.
i bet we work for same company...
it's all verbatim, which is tempered by style rules and common sense.
When "verbatim" is done that way, there's no problem.
Does anyone work for a company-sm
that pays for reports that have been typed and then the doctors decides not to use it? I just did a 13.41 minute report and did not see it in my line count so I went into another program to look it up. It is in the 'deleted' folder. I hate this.
My sup's response is "We give you 28 lines for every addendum report or dictated change so it all evens out". BALONEY!!!! If a doc dictates "go back to Joe Blow's report and add/take out we are to get 28 lines to type this and put in Q/A and they will correct the report. Same thing if an addendum to a job needs to be done. I have had none of these jobs for weeks so not getting paid for the 13.41 job does not even out for me.
How does your company handle these types of deleted jobs?
I would never work for a company that did that.
We would all like to have 100% QA but no one is perfect. Who is to say that it looks perfect to us, but the client decides, they do not like the way we put in our commas. Would I want my pay cut on that basis? NO WAY. I'd move on..JMO
What company do you work for?
I was hoping to get in on the VR escription $$$$$ I have been hearing so much about but now I am starting to wonder if it is for me. Any tips to share about VR escription work that might help me out? Thanks
No IC here. I work for a company
When starting I gave my ideal schedule and they gave it to me without question. Then I had to request numerous Friday evenings off for childcare issues and when it posed a problem I asked for a schedule change of Friday evenings over to Sunday evenings and they agreed.
Maybe you need to work for a different company?

I'd wonder what company is doing the work now. SM
Fixing those is why the EditScript portion comes to the MTSOs at all. When I was working in EditScript the work was being siphoned away from workers at my MTSO to ones offshore without any explanation to us, only evasions in response to our questions, until a week or two before the last big chunk of it was to disappear, and then we were told.
The company I work
for is Zylomed and three years ago, they paid me 10 cents per line...I have been working for them for about 6 years now...and you are right about the fact that we with many years of experience should not be so quick to accept a job for lower than 9 or 10 cents a line for these on line companies...that's crazy. The doctors around here that are local..small offices, pay 12 cents per line...I have friends who type for docs making this much money....so I think that we need to make a board like the online companies have about what they want, and kind of turn the tables a little bit, and make a board of Transcriptionist stating what their guidlines are and what they are looking for in a company and our pay rate and see how many offers WE get. It's just a thought, but I think it might work. Who knows It never hurts to try.
not at the company I work for
Our initials may not be on the report, letter, etc., but we all have specific accounts we're responsible for, same as our MTs, so if there's a problem that makes it through to the patient chart for whatever reason, the Editor assigned to that account gets the blame because it's our job to make sure that doesn't happen.
I used to work for more than 1 company ...sm
I don't anymore. When I did, they each knew about it.
Does anyone work for one than one company?
If so, do they know about it?
Not a company I'd work for...
If they are paying cents per line on QA editing, there's a good chance they are not a very reputable company for the simple fact that the QA editors are having to very carelessly fly through reports to make any money so the quality of work being sent the client is not going to be great. I don't imagine there is going to be much job stability there since the client will probably eventually go with another company to get better quality work. An MT may send a job for just a few blanks to QA and the Editor will only check those blanks and move on to the next report...which is why they feel they can get away with paying that, but the job of a QA editor should be much more than that...they are the last stop between the MT and the client. A company with good, conscientious QA editors who are patient and willing to teach and not having to worry about their own pockets is going to be put out the best work.
I would never work for a company where
I have to pay them for the privilege of working for them, no upfront fees or anything like that that some companies do.
What company? Who would/could work
for a company that does not pay for Expanders or normals, only keystrokes? Can't believe they could get anyone to work for them. They are just thieves, you know they get paid for everything. They won't stay in business unless they do the work themselves.
