No work, low work, 45% cut in pay, still advertising for more help.
Transcend needs to really look at its reorganization. What idiot is going to work for 4.5 to 5.5 cpl on a platform that breaks down daily, is full of flaws, line counts don't work. And since all accounts are going to go to this wonderful new experience of being strictly an Editor on this patchwork program that has never been designed for an MLS in mind, it is time to get out of a leaking boat in the middle of a storm.
Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
And it is my place -- I work for MQ too and
if you don't like it and it isn't changing for you like you want it as quick as you want, get out!
I think all those who are happy with MQ are getting tired of hearing your same old sad story all the time.
If you can't change the company (duh, who thought they could) and it still doesn't suit ya, get out! Leave! Believe me, we don't want you there! You are free to go!
ask the place you work for
PET scans are simple FDG-18 radiopharmaceutical.
We must work at the same place. LOL (nm)

DSG is a wonderful place to work..sm
Management staff is awesome, plenty of work, pay always on time. My experience with them has been that if I do quality work, keep my line count committment, and just let them know if I am having a problem (sick, etc) and can't work, I have no problems with them. I have been there almost three years, and love it.
And before anyone accuses me, NO, I am not management. I am an MT (employee status)
Need a quiet place to work without .
Trying to avoid interruptions in the home.:) Any of you work from an added room or trailer that you turned into an office? Closing the door is not an option. Would need to actually leave the house even if it is to go to a room added on or to a camper in the yard. Wondering if others have done the same thing. I saw in the paper where a company rents out an office for a day, a week, or however long you need it for. Wondering if that would be worth it just to have the chance to work in peace.
MQ was a good place to work
I have been with them for 6 years and before that with another company. I have been extremely happy working for MQ; but too many things are changing and it is a very uncomfortable feeling. I wish I still had my old office to work from but unfortunately I have no say.
I might be checking out the grass on the other side to see if it is really any greener. What do I have to lose? I am no longer happy.
I wish you well and hopefully your office won't be closed and you are transferred into unfamilar territory.
Anybody know of a place you can work just weekends (sm)
With going to DQS looks like the OT/bonus is gone. Personally I can't make it without the extra (supporting 4 on one salary). Need to fine a place to work weekends only. Anyone have any suggestions? 
apparently you like the place you work for...
for the most part. Maybe you should contact your supervisor and let her/him know you would be OK with mentoring a less experienced MT, but let them know you don't want someone else's junk to count against your QA score. Good luck! 
Great place to work! sm
They are very helpful and encouraging and give you plenty of time to get up to speed. I have been with other national companies and they are the best. You'll be happy there!
Have bedroom only for work place
Sit to where I can see out to the mailbox and my driveway. I have my television in here though and also husband wanted to join me so he has his computer desk right behind me. He could have had his own room but he wanted to be close to his honey. It works out really well.
sounds like we work for the same place...sm
I have been with the same company for about 5 years now. What I do is take the first letter of each word for a phrase and make an expander. Ex: The patient was admitted to the hospital, I make the Expander with tpwatth. I have found this the easiest on the platform I use as I was not sure if anything like InstantText or others would work. You don't have to assign the expander to a specific dictator so this helps with the "generic phrases". For medications that are capitalized, I also make an expansion. Ex: Tylenol is expansion tylenol. Also have them for drugs that are the same prescription all the time, aspirin 81 mg daily is a81, aspirin 325 mg daily is a325, aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily is a81p. I even made it for when it is capitalized in a list, Aspirin 81 mg daily is aa81. Every little thing helps. I do have expansions for doctors that say the same thing over and over, I just make sure I proofread very carefully. Try to use abbreviations you can remember. I even have them for b.i.d., etc.
Tell you what the place I work for started
I work for a national doing a hospital here in my town. The hospital told the dictators no more cell phone calls just because of what you are talking about. I remember when they were allowed to use and all the cutting out so big gaps left. It will work if someone in charge puts that in force.
The place I work already offers 800 numbers for all
inside accounts and most outside accounts as well. Not all are not good to the MTs.
Anyone really know if allocation of work takes place
I wonder if anyone has true knowledge of work being allocated to a particular MT or MTs. Supervisors possibly who have done this or have witnesses this could you please tell me if this occurs or if paranoia is setting in?
It seems to me that this is wrong for important reasons that could stand up as an issue for being reprimanded by anyone who does it. It is taking money out of one person's paycheck and putting it in another, after all, how sleazy is that???
This is a medical transcription business. We should all be accountable. What are we, working for the mob???
I agree. It's a great place to work,
most places are very slow around the holidays. And the owner is a great lady.
I work for a place that pays per word (sm)
and to figure it you just get the total word count (using the word count feature in Word). You would have to find out if the 1000 words is based on "a word is a word," or if there's some "formula" such as suggested in another reply, like every 5 characters counts as a word and does that include spaces in that count, blah, blah, blah. I don't know. If it's just straight up $5.00 per actual 1000 words, then I don't think that's good at all. I make .0085 per word, and I've figured out that it would be an average of 8.5 to 9.5 cents per line. Anyway, if "a word is a word" at least, $5.00 per 1000 words would probably equal around 5-6 cents per line or so.
Transcend is a great place to work
I can't believe all this negativity! I just love my job with Transcend. From the recruiter to my TL and ROM every single thing I have been promised has happened! I'm very happy! Yes, you do have to produce - but what MLS position don't you? Transcend also gives you the tools you need to succeed and will help you get better, faster and making more $. Stop bashing this company! They truly are awesome!!!! And the promote from within! They are so big on internal growth!!!!
The place I work for went from no patient names at all to
now it is accepted and used all the time. Go figure!
I disagree. The best place to work is a hospital that has their MTs at home.

Plastic surgery only works if there's something there to work with in the first place.
She's been trying to look like her dad's "golden girls," Heather Locklear and Farrah Fawcett, for years, but it's not working, obviously never will.
You're right about the "prehistoric" part! The place I used to work (sm)
uses Lanier, and it's a mess. It's WORSE than prehistoric. It was down more than it was up. It was also not at all friendly for at-home MTs, either.
Try Softscript. They work with new MTs. Great place to at least get a foot in the door!

Sounds like a good place, where you work! BTW: the other 2 posts are not mine
Somebody is cloning my username now and posting. Guess on a board like this anyone can troll. So, I guess I will change my username again, so as not to be taken the wrong way. Wow, people really have a lot of time on their hands!
Used to work at a place that measured productivity by minutes. Minimum requirement was 90 min. SM
in an 8.5 hour day or 7.5 productive hours (minus 30 minutes for lunch and two 15 min. breaks). Don't know if that helps. Also I've heard that it will take the average productive MT twice as long to type as to dictate, i.e. a 5 minute job will take an MT 10 minutes to type without interruptions. So figure 90 minutes of dictation is going to take at least three hours to type and probably a little longer if you figure in interruptions like phone calls, kids, etc.
For me, I would probably say 120-130 minutes would equal an 8 hour day.
Don't know if I've helped, but I hope so. 
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
advertising on your car
I did surveys, took too long and never really made much money. What i want to do is find someone to advertise on my car. They wrap it with a plastic advertisement and you get paid monthly for driving around town. Does anyone have info for this? I googled it and was only able to find european companies that do it.
advertising
Hi,
I agree that most will be word of mouth, but i did make up flyers with price, turnaround time, etc and walked into and sent many offices my flyer along with a business card. If an office was advertising for a medical secretary, I would fax my flyer because more than likely, they would need a Transcriptionist or have the secretary do it. I now work for four docs all of whom were referred by my very first client.
Good luck to you!

Advertising
I had my own business for 7 years, worst mistake I ever made was selling it. Anyway, flyers go in the trash, best way I found was to go and visit each office, speak with office manager if you can and leave a business card with your rates, turn around time, delivery, pickup etc....Then make a followup phone call a week or two later, and continue with 6 to 12 month followup. Once you get an account and they are happy, before long word of mouth will get you more work than you can handle. Good luck.
That is why they always are advertising nm

Into advertising now too?
I didn't know that. I will have to look into that some more and see what they are doing with that.
use their own advertising
This is great of proof of why American MTs are better and the physicians need us. You can tell them, or you can show them. If this major national can't even have correct copy on their advertising....
Quess web design doesn't go through QA.
Patti - Are you the one advertising for an IC and YOU
Big no-no. If you're specifying hours and rates, honey, you're an employer!!! PAY UP ON THE EMPLOYER ISSUES!!
Look, when you start advertising your own BOS, the
Administrators DO know about the AAMT and when they start with their advertisement of GLOBAL-wide acceptance, style guide, certification, education, etc., you'll be hard pressed to get business.
I'm just trying to give you a few ideas of what you're REALLY up against. THE industry standard. THE industry leader. THE recognized well-established with money to boot association who already has the global market.
You may find a few rogue MTs and small-time clinics here and there for your project.
Wasn't trying to come off as advertising
Hello guys, I'm sorry for the multiple posts today. I wasn't trying to come off as trying to advertise, especially since I'm not making any kind of money at all, just trying to be helpful. I didn't mean to come across as self-promoting or anything.
unfortunately not false advertising.
It says UP TO $60K. When I worked FT, I made that much. Ahhh, those were the days!
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
There are still plenty of companies willing to pay for advertising
on the TV and radio. Besides, I'd never pay for radio or TV. That's just silly.
Cleveland Clinic was advertising for MTs for their Fla
the Ohio (main) clinic was at one time being transcribed by "that" other company but don't know if they do it any more.
I'm with you - a face transplant is very interesting!
Look up their clinic in Florida (extension) and see if they are still hiring. Let us know. :))
He wasn't advertising here--it was MT Jobs.

my, my, how hateful. That's good advertising...
for the AHDI. Ahem. Your grammar and structure are lovely and correct, though. I'm sure you passed the exam with flying colors.
I used to joke that every time I considered the CMT I got pregnant: end of CMT plans. In all seriousness, it's a lot of money to spend. I was chapter president of our local AAMT for a couple of years and I put in a lot of hours setting up stuff for the CMTs to get credits; it's quite frankly what it all revolved around. A lot of those women have spent a PILE of money over the years keeping current with their certification and I admire their tenacity. Not one of them that I know personally, however, has ever benefited monetarily or professionally by their CMT; it is a personal satisfaction only.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a forest/trees analogy nor as simple as a having a "grudge" against the AAMT - oh, excuse me, AHDI. There's been a lot of broken promises and dreams over the years and some people have real reason to be bitter about it.
The exam is a good one. I proctored an exam, I've looked at the materials, and I've seen what it takes to maintain. It's good stuff. But unfortunately, in the end, it's only for your own personal satisfaction. Different strokes.
Advertising policy of MTStars...
Many of you haven't noticed Advertising policy of MTStars lately.
http://www.mtstars.com/advertising.htm
No more sponsorships from MTSOs etc. The truth is being spoken on these boards and it always hurts. You can't remain sober if betrayed by some company or individual. You would have been speaking the same way if you were in their shoes.
I love MTStars for being unbiased (what people say nastiness). It's not like MTChat or MTDaily etc., where the posts are deleted and board owners are instructed to keep their & posters mouths shut for annual sponsorship of $500 by MTSOs.
It's the advertising policy of MTStars..

They are still advertising the jobs on their website and in the newspaper
Quite a waste of money if they're downsizing. Oh, and did I mention - they just opened up a new clinic, which increased the work load by about one-third, and now they are building a second hospital?
Nope. Not downsizing.
I remember when they first started advertising sanitary napkins
That was many years ago and I was quite young and incredibly embarrassed. Somehow, I think things were better when we all had a lot more modesty.
Probably my imagination.
the history? nothing.. he is just advertising an Indian MT company and board
x
Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Only by the mounds of junk mail every day...cc apps, advertising circulars, etc. nm

I just saw another MT site advertising a service that offshores that boasts the company as
transcription companies in the US! Of course, it doesn't surprise this long time MT considering the owner of the site highly promotes offshore transcription. I am disgusted and have canceled their newsletter.
