Well at this point, who cares about that? I have an LPN friend that makes $26 an hour

and $39 for those "extra" hours or OT. I would say in about 5 years you won't be able to get even close to $20 an hour doing MT. At least nurses will still be respected and paid decent wages :)

You've never gotten my point. "A friend" was
THAT IS STUPID, DANGEROUS, IRRESPONSIBLE.
My friend makes double what she made MTing
She took classes online at home through a college in Iowa, and it took her around 2 years including her job sampling--interning time. She really likes it and says it is similar to doing transcription, but over time that too will probably fade away to better and newer voice recognition technology. If you are looking for something though I would recommend it. I am too chicken to get into anything typing/technical anymore and am going back for nursing (hopeing that won't fade away too). Best of luck to you.
It makes me cry, $12.50 an hour in (nm)
wwwwwwww
What makes this especially bad is they monitor blanks now on this new QA point plan in the NE and if
you get no feedback you keep sending in the same blanks so seems pointless to have this QA point plan if there is no feedback and nothing to go on when you get stuck especially in new accounts getting dumped on us all the time. It aint gettin no easier out here in MT land.
That was my point. There will never be any steady work for anyone with TAT at 1 hour
I'm certainly not going to be sitting at the computer 24/7 waiting for reports to trickle in. We are so stupid to be putting up with this. Why do we stay?
My point is, work a NORMAL EIGHT HOUR SHIFT..dont worry
It takes away from the quality and the turnaround time... 
Your point was? You called me jealous and lazy, and suggested I work an 8 hour shift.
Now you're being "nice". I am NOT worried about others. Why would I want to work an 8 hour shift and produce 1000 lines if I could be missing SOMETHING and increase my production? How mean-spirited you are. I would LOVE to produce more and work less, so that I could spend more time with my loved ones. And to read on this forum the astonishing line counts most MTs are claiming to make regularly - well, I'm either doing some really, really wrong, which I would like to fix, or I'm not doing something that I need to be doing, which I would like to fix! Thus, my sincere question. Truly I believe it is time to leave this board, though I used to LOVE it so much, cause you just can't get an honest thread running anymore about anything - even trivial threads turn ugly by 2 to 3 posts, let alone INFORMATIVE ones like how honestly asking my fellow MTs who are huge producers HOW they do it? As in straight typing or using normals and standards? I try to hang on this board and stay "positive" despite the negatives, cause I really like it here and I really like the admin, etc, but I'm not a glutton for punishment. I know a lot of the old regular MTs who actually carried on intelligent conversations have gone to the board where you have to pay $$$ to post. Apparently, one can still have kind meaningful conversations over there - guess the $$ part weeds out the trolls? Don't know, but its sure sad. Please, don't misinterpret this as me thinking anyone would give a hoot if I left here - cause I know now there will be the normal "good - who gives a crap? good riddance" flames, but really, the MTs who are so trollish are just ruining it for themselves. Thus is their lot in life, though.
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
Depends on the pay and account. My lowest average is $15.52 an hour (roughly 182.6 lines an hour) w
;'
1850 lines per 8 hour shift. 15.00 hour - no real requirement
x
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm
nm
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
if it is feasable, split that 6-hour shift into two 3-hour shifts. sm
i work a split shift and find that i am much better able to stay focused and get more work done that way. also, being 3 months pregnant you have gone through the very tiring time of pregnancy and you should start seeing an energy perk before long.
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired
nm
I start an hour or 2 early and then take an hour or 2 for dinner -nm

At 200 lines a day for 6 cents, you are making $1.20 a day or 0.15 hour for an 8 hour day!!!--cm
Did you mean 2,000? Even then you would only be making $1.50 if you work 8 hours a day.
$32/hour? You said $36/hour on an earlier post. Either way would be great. n/m
xx
10 reports/hour or 25 markers/hour

B. No and E. Who cares. nm

No and Who Cares.
Who cares really...I mean is this.....
really important? I can tell you that my life is no different now than before. I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
who cares, he is...
Who really cares, Jay? sm
Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan? Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it? Cheerleader #1!!! The AAMT failed it's biggest test. Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT. Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay. Get the picture? At any rate, whatever floats your boat. The AAMT is bogus. Maasalamah!!!
Nobody cares who the MVP is..
Take this nonsense somewhere else...PLEASE!
yea, right...NOT...he cares nothing about u...nm
Who cares how old it was
it is STILL happening!!!! That's the point. You just don't get it, do you. Well, you never will then. Good bye! Have to go!!!
Maybe it's not where OP is from. Who cares
x
Nobody but us cares.
x
And if nobody cares.... sm
Why should you? :D
awwww who CARES?????
That person probably has 10 kids of their own. Who cares???? If you can support 'em pop 'em out like a friggin rabbit for all I care. That poster just needs some lemonade and then they will be happy, happy, happy. Do you remember the happy, happy, happy poster?
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are. Dont believe me, I dont care. MQ has been sold. I will post again once you get the news from MQ. I will post *I told ya so*.
I do acute cares and can do 250...
not sure what you mean by copy and paste. I have text Expanders and "normals" that I use that really help, they are built into Chartscript or it may be called SoftWeb and you can add all the shortcuts you want. I am trying to learn the abcdz system of short cutting.
Who cares if you will be perceived
as a troublemaker? There are as many of us involved in the association as you who are disgusted with the status quo and my suggestion is that you ride it out and run for office and move the problem folks to the back burner. Believe me, it can be done. Women, unfortunately, allow themselves to be herded and if you don't like that notion then you have to stay and do something about it. Things don't make sense if you don't make them make sense. If your state organization is running amuck .. report them to Modesto .. talk to Peter Preziosi directly and tell him straight out that you want action. I think you would be very happy you chose to talk to him.
Who cares what solicitors think!
And if they think you are cranky, then maybe they won't have the nerve to stop by!! Solicitors are so annoying!!! I say, get a sign, "NO SOLICITING!"
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
Ok. GET A LIFE! Nobody cares about JLG.

Oh brother. Who cares?

im sorry, you think Obama cares about MTs?
yea, right. im sure all the politicians do, but newsflash Obama as a president is NOT healthy for small businesses
bottom l ine there needs to be a standardized MT industry, but nobody steps up to the plate to create it. The general public has no idea you think? You think they'd like it if their medical records were being done overseas? not so sure most would... they just dont KNOW it. who fights for us anyway?
No one really cares what your typing.
Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway. Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information.
It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else. No one cares, get it?
Thats the biz.. part of the reason why not everyone can or cares

I really do not like Oprah or her show! Who cares? !

Love Elton... Who cares (sm)
what he does in the privacy of his own home & life? I never saw such narrow minded people. Remember the story about glass houses... Watch someone may cast a stone to you! Lets just hope nothing you do will SHOCK anyone. Just disgusted with this conversation. Be happy for him. Life is short to spend it alone!!
Who cares about dinner? JESUS is

Who cares, we all have the same initials at one time or another. nm

who cares about pats on the back,
just show me the money!
I have not worked for a doctor yet who cares about BOS.
It is the transcription company owners who sell it not the doctors or facilities. None of my docs want anything to do with the single space after a period. They all still accept the 1-10 spelled out too, amoung other things. They do not have the time to nitpic over stuff that the AAMT group is so fixated on. They want to practice medicine and be given well transcribed, neat, correct documents and that is exactly what I do. I say if you want to start your own...go for it! Transcription companies will tell their Transcriptionist to do it their way anyway and someone out there might like your ideas better!
don't know...I just don't....laziness?? but on this forum, who cares? nm

That's the problem, nobody cares about anybody else anymore. SM
I'm not an idiot. I work for the paycheck and I know the MTSO's are in it for the money. Yes, business is business, but let me tell you, I've had a boss like you, Minnie. A boss that could care less about her employees personal situation or how it affects their job. She didn't want to know anything about her employees except that they can do the job. She wanted us to punch the timeclock and type 8 hours at full speed and to heck with everything else. So what if one of us was a single mom trying to make ends meet. So what if someone had a death in the family and was distracted. So what if another had just gone through a divorce and was having a little trouble feeling motivated. Who cares? She didn't.
And not Minnie either, apparently.
That boss who didn't care about me, got the bare minimum out of me. When work was out of TAT and she wanted people to volunteer for OT, do you think I volunteered? When someone called in sick and she needed someone to cover the weekend, do you think I volunteered?
Now I have a boss who truly cares about me and all her employees at the hospital I currently work for. We love her and she loves us. She wants to know why we're having a bad day. She sends us cards to make us feel better. And when our production falls off, she is always understanding. That does mean she is a push over. She knows when someone is taking advantage and she is fully prepared to discipline if the occasion calls for it, but she knows who doesn't take advantage and is willing to give and to those of us she trusts, she extends to us her kindness, compassion, and understanding.
And do you know what? All of us would do anything for her because she would do the same for us. I work OT whenever she needs it. I have changed my shift to working until midnight because she asked me to and needed the coverage while someone was off getting surgery. In turn, when my step-nephew was killed in a car accident, even though he wasn't a blood relative and didn't technically qualify for me to take bereavement leave, she let me take it anyway because I needed to help my sister and brother-in-law (it was his son). And when my daughter has a field trip, she lets me flex my hours so I can go. And when it was basketball season with my son, again I was able to flex my hours so I could make all of his games.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
People should care about other people. We should care that someone is a single mom and is struggling and we should offer our support and help if we can. And the MTSO's should care about their people. Happy people work harder. If you show your people you care about them, they will work harder for you because they want to and they appreciate you.
Minnie, if I worked with you or for you... well I wouldn't work for you long, let's just say that.
Nobody cares? Did you take a vote? I am interested.
