They are still hiring SEs right now so I doubt they'll get whacked.

In Reply to: if they are eliminating SE... - JZ
My friend just hired as an SE and starts training next week. Would be kind of expensive for them to hire SEs for just a couple or three weeks and let them go, wouldn't it?
Oh well.

You are definitely whacked! LOL!

No going on anymore, but I remember getting whacked
over the knuckles with a yard stick by the "nuns" and others being made to stand in the corner for 1/2 hour. We all turned out okay!
I do believe, we received an awesome education by those dedicated to the education profession though. I loved being taught by "nuns". They were the best teachers around when I went to school.
Now, it is illegal in my state to touch a child, although I have mixed emotions about it. How can the teachers obtain discipline in their classrooms when all the kids have to do is "call the cops" on anyone who tries to correct them, even just verbally. It is sad for teachers now a days. I do not think teachers should be allowed to hit or spank kids, but sending them to the corner of the room for half the class or to the Principal's office might work.
In my part of town, if the child is suspended for any discipline problem, they have to go to alternative school for the length of their suspension. That is awesome and the kids do behave in school as they are frightened by that "alternative" school solution.
Yes, he was peaceful because he was so whacked out on drugs. He was a drug addict who wrote songs.
Pure and simple - no big thang...

When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
It'll happen. You'll find your fit.
You might have to kiss a few frogs first, though.

I'll vent and I'll sign my name sm
I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.
yes, they are hiring.....
and the pay is excellent, good benefits, but I understand the supervisor is a total nightmare. Lies, talks about employees to other employees, extremely intimidating and condescending, basically covers her behind by lying about employees...makes life miserable for her MTs. I believe it would be an excellent company to work for if it was not for this problem. But wanted some feed back on things others have heard.
Are they hiring or something? sm
What have you heard about the transcription supervisor. I have been looking around and don't want to get into something really bad.

Yes, take it. If you don't want it, let me know who it is that's hiring.
How does it compare with what you're making right now?
Do you know if they are hiring?
I'm also in the Memphis area. Do you know if the hospital you work for is hiring? I have years of experience. You can e-mail me if you'd like  .
RE: Do you know if they are hiring
We had an opening that was advertised for a couple of months the first part of the year and was just filled with the person starting on 05/22/2006. Sorry.
hiring
if you live in AR, MS or TN area yes they are.
Why are they hiring again? sm
It seems like ALL accounts are under control very, very well. Especially on the weekends, the work usually runs out for all accounts! Why do they keep doing this? They have cut out their only benefit of direct deposit because they don't have the SE positions anymore. Why are they doing this? 
anyone hiring?-sm
I am looking for IC work and have applied to many MT services in response to ads posted here. So far, nothing. Is the job market that competetive? In the past, I have usually heard back right away but not so now. This is frustrating.
QED is hiring.

are you hiring?!
I just could not resist the temptation. I am serious though :)
hiring
Unfortunately, at the time I do not have current openings, hopefully that will change soon - I do however bring on mostly "newbies" to give them the opportunity to earn while they learn, and I am honest with them - my rates are not the norm and are lower - but they get the opportunity to add to their resume, and gain the experience without a non-paid internship. The experienced MTs I look for when I have the special projects that pay much better. I started as an MT and can appreciate the need for experience, as well as a respectable rate of pay. When I need individuals this is the first place I come. So all I can say is keep your eyes out for it. "Newbies" who apply whether hiring or not, are always kept on file for "next-up" hiring.
BUT I ONLY HIRE US CITIZENS, AND I DO NOT OUTSOURCE. I do not affiliate with offshore companies, do not want any contacts, e-mails, etc. I do just fine with the American "newbie" or experienced MT.
I will however, take every opportunity afforded to me, to bring the work back to the US, by showing their clients that American is the way to go, by offering information on the pros of the American MT and the cons of offshore companies. Even if it means I offer a low rate to sign those US dictators who currently use offshore companies or use companies who send work overseas - and believe me, eventually they all come back, sooner or later, I just want it to be sooner.
I just don't think if you are hiring ICs
Time and time again I see this as a complaint by MTSOs that an IC is not doing the work, but an IC does have a choice to refuse a job. If I had to sub my clients, then I would find someone who would do overflow or could fill-in when my regular ICs cannot commit. I would also have a work pool and not assign work. As an IC, you cannot then expect the MTSO to always have work for you either.
I work as an IC with my own clients, but I also work from a pool with an online company. It works very well for me. I either can work and take the work or if I can't, then someone else is trained to do the work. No harm done for either one of us.
The bottom line is in assigning work to an IC that has the choice to not work if he/she so desires. If you are looking for a commitment, then you may be better off hiring employees that will need to be accountable.
on hiring -- sm
If you hire employees, you do not necessarily have to become *incorporated*, but you will have to get a tax ID number, which is not difficult, and prepare 1099 forms for your employee, so they can report their income at the end of the year. You do not necessarily have to open a commercial bank account, but it would be easier for you to keep track of your expenses and payments to employee. Whatever you have paid your employee over the year, you can also deduct from your taxes, as well. You can become incorporated if you so choose, as it is SUPPOSED to save you tax dollars, but I have yet to figure that part out. Hiring an accountant may be in your best interest, as well, unless you have the time to keep very good financial records of all of this. good luck to you.
are they hiring?
do you know if the full time job you have at 12 cpl is hiring at this time? or even the part time job? you can e-mail me if you like. thanks
Not hiring?
Have you guys tried calling these companies to see what their reply is? I would be interested to see what they say. Also, go on the job boards and try maybe a small company that needs help versus a large national. You might have better luck there! Good luck!
Do you know if the p/t is hiring?
That would be great to just work whenever.
anyone hiring new mt
I worked for a company for six months transcribing Orthopedic and some Radiology. I worked about 50 hours a week. my biggest paycheck was $368 for the entire month. The QA person kept telling me that I was doing great for a newbie and that everyone goes through this and I will be making good money soon, I just have to be patient and stick with it. I did not have any medical spellchecker or Instant Text, (which I do now) and what was also difficult was I was taught the AHDI Book of Style and they did not follow that so she kept telling me it was wrong. I really enjoyed the Radiology, wish I had more experience. Do you know of any companies that would be willing to take a chance on a newbie, mentor me along the way, I am willing to train on their platform for nothing just to get my foot in the door. If so, catglad@att.net
they are hiring but..
worksource Florida's website doesn't allow your application to go through, so who knows what is up with that.
Spheris is hiring PT
Spheris is hiring for PT and I am really happy there. I've been there about a year now, and I'm about to switch from FT to PT to spend more time with the kids.
If you want me to pass on your resume directly, I'd be happy to, if you send it to me at carasoffice@yahoo.com.
Good luck! Oh, and they are hiring for all shifts - acute and clinic.
Any hiring - ER only - or clinic maybe?
Need a new job! But have only done ER for 12 years. Old single mom with small children and no time to learn new tricks right now LOL! Anyone know of a good company - at-home - that hires for ER only (not Spheris) or clinic work? Would appreciate as much input as you are willing to give. Would especially be pleased if they supply equipment! Thanks!
Is your employer hiring?
Thanks for the tips.
So are you hiring or not? I'd like to apply
and see if I have what it takes to work for you.
Try hiring ONE good MT.
Try and recruit one good MT and you'll find there is in fact a huge shortage of same. Try posting an ad and actually test these people (if you can read their resumes). I was all up in arms against offshore as well until I started my own business and couldn't find a decent MT to save my life. Now I understand why others have gone offshore. Many of the Indian MTs are physicians and have trained in the U.S. and/or Europe. I've tested both, just out of sheer curiousity, and the work we received from Indian MTs was far superior.
Young people are not entering this field because they foresee it becoming obsolte, and the elders are dropping off, retiring, etc.
There is in fact a shortage, unfortunately.
If we're truly concerned, we'll assist in training and mentoring of "newbies" instead of being so negative towards them on this and other boards. They are not a threat to you, they are the future of MT and this country. If we don't help them, we all lose.
Try hiring one good MT
Please be so kind as to share your MTSO name. And by the same token, if indian MTs are physicians, do they work for 7 cents or less a line?
By the way, what do you pay for MT transcription, by the line?
I am all for newbies but they are sold a "bill of goods" when they go to school and told they will be able to get a "good paying job" in this field, only to find out that without experience, your education means diddly!
QUESTION: Why is MQ hiring????????
I want an answer to that question. Simple enough.
DSG in Atlanta, GA is still hiring I believe nm
Breitner's are hiring
Their accounts are very demanding in their quality. If you can do that, then they would love to have you. Ive been with them for years and they treat you like family. I tried to leave once for a better money offer and the owner matched their offer to keep me. I think they actually do care about their MTs, but I also care about my account that I work on too. They appreciate good people.
is anyone hiring out there, desperate
I am currently working for MXsecure and it is well, less than what was promised, or should I say way less. DESPERATE
I believe TransHealth is hiring.
RX Transcription is hiring.

Re: Hypertype (BTW, they are hiring)
I'm with Hypertype and have for several years. I have never had to wait for a paycheck. I do, hoewever, agree that the pay is on the low side. But, on the other hand, I have never been without work.  (Hey, does anyone know what this green smiley stands for?)
I don't know if I can post Hypertype's phone number on this board or not....?

QED Transcription is hiring FT
I have worked for them for the past 1.5 years. Only twice can I remember being out of work and that was for apprx. one day in a pay period. However, right now they are growing and need experienced, consistent transcriptionists.
Hey, email if they are hiring! nm

Are you hiring employees or
In my opinion, independent contractor means you can take the work or you can refuse the work. If you are employing these MTs, then that gives you the right to dictate statements like "work first then play". Set schedules and hours are for employees and not ICs. That is where the trouble starts in this profession. Small MTSOs want ICs that ACT LIKE EMPLOYEES. Well if that is disappointing to you as an MTSO owner, then so is only making 8 cpl and then having to make a 24-hour turnaround and be at the mercy of the MTSO. JMO.  I save this kind of dedication for accounts that I have sought out myself (making 13 cpl) not working for an MTSO that only pays a small wage and wants a whole lot in return. 
Are any of those re-hiring hospitals in
?
