They said Ryan gave the wrong number to punch when people called in and that they also heard he'd had two offers from well-known bands, including Van Halen.

I used to say he nursed for 30 minutes every 30 minutes. I was trying to figure
out a way to strap him across my chest so he could help himself while I went about whatever it was I had to do. I really miss those days too.
last nite on TV they showed a psychic's....sm
I didn't think it was Karr, UNTIL they showed on CNN last night a picture/drawing from a psychic from 1996-1997 and they held the drawing up next to Karr's picture last night and they look identical.
Too bad it took 10 years to bust this case open
I think it is kind of odd that this survey showed
 posts were on here this morning telling people they'd pay $5.00 for every e-mail address you sell them. I'd be very careful when you are dropping your e-mail address. The survey does not seem to have any company name or anyone's name attached to it for that matter.
No, it just showed up. Administrator must be on break.

Argh...I was there for awhile and no one showed up
so I left. Please post a new time so I can join. I was really looking forward to it. Tonight works for me.
During the Packers game they showed
current temperatures around the world. Greenland, Moscow, Alaska were all around 20 degrees. In Greenbay, WI, it was -2 degrees! Funny.
Update. MRI was normal hip. only showed
ovarian cysts for which I now have to go see the gynecologist.
Ray Nagin is the one who showed true compassion
Tell it like it is..Thank you. So much ragging on the Mayor of New Orleans, please, point the finger where it belongs. This disaster could not have been taken care of by local govt alone. We needed the feds to step in. The president was on the TV two days before the hurricane warning it was gonna be a bad one. Well, if we all knew that, there should have been planes and ships already loaded up and ready to move down to the gulf the minute the storm abated. If anyone is showing true compassion, it is Rag Nagin. If you ask me, FEMA did not do it's job.
No problem with the anger the OP showed towards home-schooling?
I didn't spew venom, only pointed out the obvious, kids are kids are kids. Anybody who thinks that people home-school their children to keep them away from "bad kids" is greatly mistaken. The minority may be for that reason. The majority have real reasons for their conviction to home-school.
Some people choose to home-school because their kids are the bad kids. Some people are forced into home-schooling bad kids by the public schools who can't handle them. It does happen, I've personally witnessed a friend being put through exactly that.
But, thanks for pointing out my venom (it was not intended as such) and thanks for the prayers.
I stopped my HRT when studies showed it did not prevent osteoporosis. sm
I have osteoporosis. The govt halted a study on HRT as the women involved had more heart problems than those on the placebo. Too scary for me. In addition, my hair was falling out excessively. Since I have been off it, my hair is back to normal, but the flashes have come back. Even more repulsive to me was when I found out that the HRT I was on came from the urine of pregnant mares that were impregnated just to get the HRT ingredients, then the colts were destroyed. No way. There are over-the-counter remedies for hot flashes, but now they claim that black cohosh causes liver cirrhosis. So, I'm not taking anything. 
Excuse me, but the results that I got back this morning that showed that I got wrong were
Sentences that she said were not fragmented, were. Sentences that she said were complete were run on. And, one sentence CLEARLY required comma usage and she said I was wrong.
I am one of those MTs who knows what she is doing and has done well over the last 20 years. The only reason I am applying for work is because I was laid off with several others right before Christmas. I take pride in saying that I know what I am doing!
ATT- I was paying $320 for 7000 minutes, I am now paying $175 for 5000 minutes in CA. nm

It has taken me 20 minutes to look up
addresses for one patient report. That's a whopping four lines there. Someone mentioned earlier making sure that the platform was user friendly. It's simple enough to use, but this looking up information has got to go if I'm going to make any money at all. I wish I could find something where I could just cruise. Any ideas on companies without all the extra research done for free?
60 minutes
Depending on which account but 60 minutes to me is about $100 to $175 for me. If it would be my surgeons would be over $200. Sure they did not mean for 60 minutes of transcribing -- $40 per hour? Even dividing by minute that is less than $1 per minute. Way too low.
So, you are saying then that 90 minutes sm
would take approximately 4.5 to 5 hours?
I think 60 minutes and all of you should
Enough already! I'm sorry, but quite frankly your energy could be spent on much more important issues than offshoring medical records. Let's bring the fathers and mothers home. There are still physicians/facilities that use U.S. MTs. JMO. 
minutes
Anywhere from 175-250 depending on account.
It's on again in about 45 minutes.
Should be, anyway.
i had an 800 # before and yes we had to pay for minutes used. sm
i am sure there are different options out there and this was 5+ years ago though. could you rerecord and send to her via net?
I just saw one a few minutes ago

I sent it to 60 Minutes
I sent the link to 60 Minutes. If I hear anything back, I will let you all know. Something needs to be done. To be truthful, I feel almost as bad for poor Indian workers being used by US companies and paid nothing, when they don't have the ability to do the job they are hired for. It's bad all around. I am sure there's plenty of work in their own country where they would at least be able to do a halfway decent job. It sure would spare us in the US having to re-do their reports before they are acceptable to send to clients.

Since about 1994 off and on and about 15 minutes
I've been a transcriptionist off and on for years, probably 5-6 years FTE. I've always thought about getting the certification, but it used to be somewhat involved to do the testing. Of course, it's always been expensive with limited payoff.
I was applying for jobs about a month ago, and all the potential employers asked if I had my CMT. That tells me they think it is worth something even if we, the workerbees, don't.
I didn't really study for it. I opened my notebook and looked at Latin/Greek pluralizaiton rules, and then put the book down. I figured if I didn't know it yet from my day to day work and from college, I wasn't going to be able to learn it in time. Really, I don't know how a person could study for it. The questions came from such a broad area. I really think AAMT has come up with a good test.
I'm glad I took it, and I will do the CEs to keep the designation and to make me better at what I do.
It took me 30 minutes to look-up a patient.

80-100 minutes of dictation
Can anyone tell me approximately how long 80-100 minutes of dictation takes to do with variables I know of a good or bad dictator but on average. A 60 minute microcassette tape on both sides of 120 minutes, is that something to compare this to? Thank you.
Mine only last 30-60 minutes,
but they sometimes come daily for a couple of weeks. My eye doctor said there's not much you can do for them.
Walking 30 minutes per day sm
with the dogs (all 160 pounds worth!) has my back and the leg cramps have nearly disappeared as well as the lower leg edema. I can actually sit longer now and don't need so much in the way of pain meds and no heating pad for the leg cramps. And other benefits too, lost 5 pounds, concentrate better, sleep better, fresh air.
"Oh, Mom" every ten minutes

Mine just had one a few minutes ago!

I take on anywhere from 90-150 minutes almost every weekend - sm
every now and then I take off or take on less to give myself a break though and to be with the kids. They think I work all the time (which I do it seems) and are surprised when I don't. Trying to work smarter so I can spend more time with them, I don't want them to remember their childhood saying "well mom was always working". 
minutes vs. per line
I've always worked in-house radiology by the hour. Now, I'm considering going elsewhere but I have no idea what I average as far as lines/day. I know I average 15-20 minutes of dictation an hour, but what is that by the line? And what is a good radiology cpl pay with 4-5 years experience? Thanks for your input!
minutes vs. lines
In my experience, as I get paid per minute, depending on what you get paid per line, let's say anywhere 10-13 cents per line then by the line is the way to go especially if you have a lot of normal reports. I have a speedy radiologist and sometimes get paid nothing for a report because I barely get the name recorded and study recorded.
Yesterday, I did 45 minutes in
an hour (that was my average through the day).
Up to 5 hours to do 60 minutes- since you have to -sm
look up stuff, etc. If it was straight typing I'd say 3-4 hours to do 60 minutes.
Wow! If you do 240 minutes of dictation in...
8 hours, that is great! Congratulations!
Where I work 90 minutes is FT- but I am an IC so - sm
it does not matter in terms of benefits. Though they are changing things some, basically if you work FT you get a better line rate than the PT people.....I am in-between (60-75 minutes a day depending on life) and luckily quite valued so I do okay.
OMG!!! Why do MT's come here and spew every 5 minutes?????
Go to work. Or something.
60 minutes of dictation
I take about 60 minutes of dictation each day and make between 50-60 dollars each day so yes, to me that is low.
60 minutes of dictation for $40
worth it or not?
1000 minutes
1000 minutes, 1000 lines at 65 characters
I think that is fair -- it is only 80 minutes in a day.
At my hospital, we have to type 120 minutes a day as our BASE!! We don't even get incentive until we PASS 120 minutes a day!
That's also 6 time turn around time.
minutes per hour sm
I am old school. I still cannot figure out how they can assume you can type so many minutes per hour when some dictators are horrible and some easy. I think quality has to be of utmost importance. How about the double speed tapes, some get twice as much on a small cassette as others and try explaining this to the docs, and boy do they know how to take advantage of you on this subject. Some won't understand, but the old timers will, you can dictate in either speed and they'll try to tell you it's only a "half tape" when they know they're getting twice as much on there. Shouldn't be "timed", it's quality that counts if you want to be worthwhile in this business IMHO.
What about minutes per hour/day?
Often times for me that is more consistent. Generally average ~140 minutes per day, but that can equal anywhere from 1200-1500 lines--a pretty big discrepancy, I think.
60 minutes had this on several years ago
60 minutes had a show about this a couple of years ago. I wrote to them several times but got no answers. They are having Indian physicians read MRI's x-rays, etc. If you think it is bad for health info to go over there, think about your tax forms going over there. Of course with the problems that have been going on here in the US with the VA and a couple of hospitals here in Oregon having patient information stolen, to me that is not the best argument. I simply tell the docs that if we don't keep the jobs here in the US, then no one is going to be in their waiting rooms. Hershey's just announced they are moving to Mexico to make their candy so it is not just us that is getting hit.
Missed 60 minutes but
I missed that show on 60 mintues but I am real close to Hershey as I live in the general area. Heck I used to work for Hershey Park many moons ago. Lots of people around here are refusing to buy any more Hershey's chocolate. Sales will decline even if they are making it for less money. There are other concerns as well. With what just happened to the pet food, around my parts people are stating that they will not eat candy made outside the U.S. for the same reasons. Quality control is not the same off U.S. soil.
Why count minutes??
I'm wondering why you would even bother with counting minutes. That really doesn't tell you anything. I have some docs who may show a 10 minute dictation and you only get one-and-a-half pages out of it because they have stopped and talked with someone on the phone or fell asleep, etc. Minutes don't have any bearing on the quota you type. In my opinion keep track of how many lines or characters you do in a day.
Minutes of dictation, help please
This is the first time I am on an account that gives you large files of work.
My questions are, what is an "average" number of minutes to transcribe a day? Is there a basic rule of estimating how long it takes to type a minute of dictation? What about a basic rule of lines in regards to minutes (X number of lines per hour of dictation, etc)?
I am back - I just did 70 minutes sm
My IT productivity says 12943 Keystrokes for 24447 characters - 1.89 per keystroke. It is a little misleading though because a lot of my production comes from AutoCorrect too - I have a billion things in there that were transferred from MedRite when I moved from that to DQS, so I still actually use it with IT. Also, four of the reports were stress tests that had templates from DQS but the rest of them were discharges, which have lots of typing and little template activity.
All together I did 391 lines in that 70 minutes. Why can't I do that all day long? 
Anyway - I *heart* my IT and think I could transcribe easier with a missing hand than a missing IT.
Minutes/hour
I know everybody measures their line counts by the hour, but I just had someone ask me how many minutes of dictation I could do in an hour. Really not sure. What would most of you say? I can usually crank out about 180 lines per hour when I actually sit down and type.
