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

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

Come on over to the west coast too where interracial marriage
It is very small minded to think that crossing races to marry is wrong. Again, we are all people, no matter what color we are. For example, I would rather my daughter marry a black man who treated her with respect, love, kindness, being an equal than married to a white man who treated her like trash. Note that I said EXAMPLE, the race could vary of course.
west coast metropolitan area gets 14 cpl
yes, 14 cpl with pick up and delivery. Probably one of the highest in the nation. But, my friend who did local work for 20 years was just outsourced to India along with the other gals, the whole large clinic, so there goes THAT job !
BTW, do you already do local work? Do they supply the transcriber and set you up, or do you have to have that set up already and set THEM up? That has been a mystery to me as I have only worked online with nationals....how to get started with local work.. Maybe a counselor or something like that. My friend is no help as she started 20 years ago for the same company and does not know how things go nowdays.
im sure it will be... maybe moderater is on west coast time?
I dont know how the moderating works, but if I got emailed and my post deleted because i said the name of another website just in asking a question... then this surely must be deleted
West Coast Hasn't see the show yet. Please keep this in mind next time. NM

daylight ??saving??
How exactly does it save daylight? I recently moved from AZ which is one of the few places smart enough not to go along with that nonsense, and it's about the only thing I miss from AZ now that it's been californicated to death. When DS first became national an AZ legislator summed it up well - "all we need in the summer is more daylight/heat".
JUST A REMINDER - IT IS DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIMES
Poll-Daylight Savings Time
Like or dislike?
Personally I dislike it very much. It changes everything with my sleep cycle, work cycle, and even my emotions. It is too much of a bodily adjustment that I personally would wish not to experience twice a year. Anyone else???
hate daylight savings time, LOVED living in AZ for 2 years!
used to whatever time you are on, some government says, "EVERYBODY CHANGE AGAIN!"
Agree! I hate Daylight Savings Time. It takes me a good two weeks
to get myself and everybody in the household adjusted to the time change every six months. If the farmers need to get up earlier, let 'em! That doesn't mean I should have to, also! DST has definitely outlived its usefulness. I stay up later and get up earlier in the summer, but go to bed earlier and sleep later in the winter. It's like my mind and body are tied to the sun, not the clock. I never got an extra hour of sleep last night anyways because the neighbor's stupid dog barked from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
I had said 8 PM EST, not west.

Been looking for a copy of "True West" which
was a play on PBS in the 80s! Also starred John Malkavich. A wonderfully funny play. Wish I could get my hands on a copy.
Montgomery, West Virginia
and longing to go home
Were you on the west side of Richmond? In Aylett we were out only 2 days! - sm
We were very lucky....were blocked in though on our private road, 11 trees fell over the road. Took 2 hours of all the neighbors pulling together and going nuts with the chain saws to clear the road....fun!
Are you hourly? Benefits? Pay? East/West/middle?nm

Great West covers Botox for headaches.
Otherwise, go to a neurologist. It only costs $425 and worth every penny.
It sometimes is really hard to transcribe patients complaining about their headaches when your own head is about to explode. I did learn how to take charge of my own care, which happened to be extremely useful because the pain management physician I was assigned to ended up being the biggest idiot on earth. I was finally able to change doctors.
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.
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.
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
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.
May God bless the miners trapped in West Virginia. There is power in prayer. Let's rally MTs!
West Florida Hospital is hiring for remote MT - must train on site for 90 days though. Where are you

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.
Anyone else along the gulf coast who is watching Rita?
East coast will pay that amount and even go higher
11 to midnite East coast time
is when they'll be watching it.
Two of them are metro one Midwest and one East Coast so....
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!
Took an RV trip last year and toured around the west, one of my favorite stops was Palo Duro Canyon
outside Amarillo, and also Santa Fe, New Mexico. No trip this year, just had a baby, but hopefully one next year!
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 $14.60. Also the job was per diem, needless to say I didn't take it.
WalMart pays about 8$ an hour, Pacific coast.nm

I feel for them but more so for the people on the MS Gulf Coast who are still in tents sm
its cold here now (27 degrees this a.m.) and some people are STILL sleeping in tents behind the truck stops. :(
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!
Which part of Maine and NH were you thinking of visiting??? The Maine coast is beautiful -sm
and the White Mountains in NH is also nice. I would suggest driving the Kangamangus Highway in the White Mountains in NH. Very nice drive and beautiful views of the White Mountains. I believe the Old Man of the Mountain is along this route but part of him fell a while ago so not sure what he looks like now???!!!
