In Reply to: If I work for a co. that mainly has VA hospitals, can you tell me what kind of work to expect. sm - pj
that means many, many physicians, probably hard to get used to them, probably teaching hospital, so many residents? Many ESL's??? Probably huh? Hmmmm. Scary!

East Coast and West Coast are both comparable
as far as line rates.
Where are you located, HE? East Coast, West Coast? nm

You must live on the east coast..sm
I used to live there too and it was either rain, humidity or hurricanes. I feel your pain, and I am so glad I moved back to the midwest. I wish you luck. Keep your powder dry!.
The East Coast is a big place.
The going line rate in NYC or Boston would probably not fly in SC or FL. Your best bet is to call around to some clinics in your area and see what they're paying. Also, I would bill by character line, not report. JMO
East coast will pay that amount and even go higher
11 to midnite East coast time
is when they'll be watching it.
OK, I'll bite -what on earth does the East Coast have to do with it?
Please enlighten me! 
I tested at a local hospital on the East Coast...
The pay was $14.82 per hour to start. They were paying medical unit secretaries $14.60. Also the job was per diem, needless to say I didn't take it.
I miss the food on the East Coast totally. sm
Love Colorado to live, but really miss the culture and the food on the East Coast. I stop at a simple diner on the PA Turnpike in New Stanton, and a cheeseburger and cole slaw is better than any dinner I could get in Colorado to me.
East Coast NYC area 18 cents a line, if ur a CMT

On east coast, paid $2.87/gal for regular unleaded today.nm
looking for part-time Emdat work, preferably with clients in the East Coast
I have been making an average of 10,000 lines per pay period (bimonthly), on QA-optional status, but my accounts are based in the West Coast while I am in the East Coast. I usually work from afternoon to night to reach my daily goal of at least 1000 lines, which is not good for my family.
I would like to find part-time work to keep me busy in the mornings instead of nights. I prefer clinic accounts, ESLs or American dictators. I am willing to take a test anytime especially in the mornings EST.
Thanks!
West coast prices are usually higher (I work for a west coast company) sm
for one thing. I am in a rather economically depressed area and I START my price at .14 and drop a penny for each of several things - no tapes, sending electronically, etc.
This job of the OP may be a bugger-bear to transcribe. Even .14 may be too low.

Yep, so were we - the Metro North!
.
Metro Atlanta
Most of these are local docs that are not my accounts. The offices are paying 12-13 cpl for gross lines. I also transcribe for a small company in another state (the 8 cpl account). I do feel lucky to have found these accounts. In addition, some of my work comes from a midsized national and is paid at 7.5 cpl for 65-character lines. I continue this work because it is the easiest work I have, so I probably average about the same as the others (although as mentioned previously, the others are clinic work and easy too)
Metro Transcription--Atlanta--Feedback?
Does anybody have any feedback, positive or negative, about a company called Metro out of Atlanta?
Thanks! 
I'm in the metro Phoenix area and we were in the mid 20s last night. That's cold for us!!...
I had to cover my frost sensitive plants with sheets.
You must live in a metro area because rural areas pay even less per hour.
Of course you can buy a big house for 130,000 in a smaller town and the same amount won't buy you a pot to pee in, in a place like San Diego or the D.C. area. It's all relative.
midwest here too
I make 15.00 an hour but the company I work for is rather small.
midwest here...
10:17 at night. dark, about 63 degrees, no rain, and pleasant. love it here. Been on the SE coast...would never do it again unless forced to. Y'all can keep yur hurricanes! Been there, did that with Isabel...never again!. Love the magnolias, jasmine, dogwood, and pulled pork sandwiches though, not to mention the southern accents...just cannot handle the weather there.
Midwest are cpl
Is anyone out there from the midwest that can tell me the going cpl rate in Illinois area (NOT CHICAGO). I am starting my own MT business and I don't want my pricing to be too high or too low. I plan on using 65-character line, with spaces, free corrections, pick-up, and delivery. Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thank you midwest ;-) nm
Midwest.....nm

I live in Midwest too. However, I
guess we have tornadoes but we don't get this much warning and certainly can't save our homes, etc.
I am so upset by so many of these storms this year. I feel so badly for these people. To lose everything like that. There is going to be a lot of depression in children and adults I am afraid.
I have a friend who will not move from Florida though she lived in Indiana most of her life. Her daughters worry about her down there alone.
Cold in the midwest too
I heard on the TV that Cedar Rapids (eastern IA) had temp of -17 with a wind chill of -30 this morning! BRR!
in midwest probably 11-12 is going rate BUT
since theyare in a bind and ESL, I would go for .13 gross lines forstandard 65 char line length. Then be sure to keep them happy and you will be all right.
My midwest company doing this now also.

I get 15 cents in the midwest.
:0)
anybody have any experience w/WahlTek in the midwest?
I'm thinking of taking on a 2nd job, and need to know LOTS more.
Radiology Editor wage for midwest
Although I am not a Radiology Editor, I am a Radiology Transcription Supervisor in the midwest (teaching hospital). I think QA/Editor positions should pay more, or at least the same as MT positions. I think $20-$22/hour is more in line with the job requirements.
Thank you so much for posting that. I just came on the board to look up the going rate for Midwest
and there you were! Thanks so much!!!
Just curious: I RESIDE IN NEW YORK and you in a little village in the Midwest, right?...nm

I was thinking more like Oklahoma, midwest, etc. Tons there and have plenty of family members who wo

Texas Coast
just had the CBS affiliate on here in Miami and they are saying Ike is now a Cat 1, but expected to strengthen to a Cat 3 with landfall either in TX or Mexico by Saturday morning.
East Indians
Tell me about their arrogance! The apartment house I live in is loaded with them. They are dirty, they are loud and arrogant. It's terrible.
I know the feeling. I am in East Tx. I want
cold!!!!! :)
East Indian . . and they are
West Coast to Amherst
I am a little confused--areyou located on the West Coast and your account was transferred to Amherst, did your office close?? It seems that any account that Foxboro or Amherst gets, they just load up with as many MT's as they can, this could be from over hiring and it could from the lose of existing accounts, whatever, it does not make sense, you don't go around making thrats about hiring other people. Is upper management getting bonus's from this??
Gulf coast still devastated
Some of you do not realize how devasating the two hurricanes this past summer were to the coastal states and the country. If he is working anywhere near the devastation, the areas are congested and nasty. Trash is still being piled up on the streets, the stench is unreal. Hotels in Louisiana still house evacuees. He might just want to spare her from what he has to look at while he is there. Until you see in first hand, it is unbelievable. My son had a doctor's appointment in NO a couple of months ago, (Goes to Ochsner once a year), luckily that was one small part of the city that was not devasated, but as soon as you got into NO the smell hits you. A once beautiful city, still in devasation. Even where they did have people living, there were still street lights out sporatically everywhere. I will be a long time if ever. Sorry, got off the subject. Just trust your heart and trust your husband.
West coast here - still daylight! - nm

Did the west coast get to see Big Brother yet? nm

Has anybody heard about which places on Tx coast have
This occurred after the local news was done and all national outlets are still saturated with McCain's ad and lipstick on pigs. would appreciate reliable info. I live on the Texas coast.
If they just add an E, they can be the East Asian Association for MT. nm

I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast. When we first had it, it was down all the time. It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied. Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable. It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour.
You can't judge people by what coast they live on....
I am originally from the East Coast and I am NOT a "nasty woman". The writer was cold hearted yes....but it doesn't give you the right to blame the East Coast. You could live anywhere...it depends how you were raised in the long run. I was taught to always treat others as I would expect to be treated...imagine that from an East Coast momma! Have a good day.
Yes, live on W Coast and my acct transferred
over to Amherst.
