    What is the company? I don't want to apply
    NM
    Can I apply with your company?

    Thank you for your post.  It is a pleasure to know you are out there.  Any chance you are hiring -- part/full time?  If so, would appreciate hearing from you.  Thank you.


    Can you give the initials of this company? Sure don't want to apply here! Feel bad for you. nm
    s
    Since you are an MTSO, all I can say is I hope I never have the misfortune to apply to your company.

    If a company I apply with has VR, what sort of editing rate is fair?

    Most fill-in-the-blank editing rates are around 4 cpl.  What are the usual going rates for 100% straight editing VR?


    Know of this - its fantastic
    Have been using this for well over a year now and its been a really great help in finding words. I have this as my homepage now, instead of Google. It has all the features of Google, but just so much better. Guess its due to all those medical websites added to its database. If you use this, you'd notice that the first few search results pages almost always show up quality medical links. Normally, you don't have to go beyond a maximum of two search results pages to get what you are lookin for. Try it - you'd know what I'm talkin about :)
    that's fantastic! congrats!!

    how did you get so lucky to find a man that can actually voice his appreciation of you to you!!???  there aren't many out there like that.


    what about the fantastic four, remember them?
    I think there is a movie out about them, but my boyfriend and his brother liked the characters from childhood. For their basketball team, they had T-shirts made up; one was the torch, one was the rubber man, etc.

    Since they brought it back and made a movie, it may be a bit overdone now, though.

    Gee, are these four boys, four girls, ages - do they like scary or are they just small?


    Fantastic Sams

    Do you have a Fantastic Sams in your area.  In my area they do a good job and they don't cost a fortune.  But in all cases, be careful about who you let color your hair.  You can also lookup the websites of the different hair color products on the Internet and some of them have a consultation area where you can talk to someone to get advice.


    Ours is right at $3, but I get FANTASTIC gas mileage.
    I feel for those of with you SUV's and minivans. Filling those up has got to be expensive.
    Fantastic!!!! Good for you :-) nm
    .
    OMG!!! That was totally fantastic! sm
    Such great talent for a little boy.  
    Fantastic and THANKS. Apprecitate the replies! nm

    Katharine is my top pick by far. Fantastic all around. nm

    Hey, Ghost, yes, I got these two years ago, they are fantastic,,,,,sm
    They really block out any noise around your house, are comfortable, but best of all they produce crisp, clear, life-like sound for all those mumble-mouth dictators.....won't solve everything, but I have been doing this over 25 years, used Dictaphone, and many many other brands, Bose rocks, not to mention using them for music listening, absolutely awesome and worth the bucks, IMHO! 
    I thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?
    X
    I believe fantastic transcripts only hires locals - sm
    But I am not sure. If that is the company out in Burbank/LA - I thought they only hire within 30 minutes of the area. I could be wrong.
    Been working on a fantastic project at work...sm
    Helping prepare for President Bush to come and give his Veterans Day speech from where I work.  It's amazing to see how they put everything together in a few short days. We got word less than a week ago he was even coming, and now we are overrun with preparations and White House/Security staff. Hoping I can get a ticket for my 10 y/o daughter to come to see the speech. If you would have told me 15 months ago when I took this job that I'd be working on this now, I never would have believed you. I worked at home for 13 years, so this is all really huge switch for me.
    Sounds fantastic. I wouldn't stres-sm
    about it.  The colors sound great--the menu sounds delicious.  Either place you put the food would be fine.  Have fun!
    What a fantastic, cogent, and TRUTHFUL post.....sm
    We at home have been reduced, in most part, to a pair of hands who are there to pound out high-quality work at all times, put out high-volume work to bring in the $$$ for the company/corporation, and because we are employed at home in order to save physicians, hospitals, and other health care systems $$$, we are where the buck stops, and it is a small buck at that. We are all a separate entity, working remotely, and as such it is easier for many MTSOs to offer the slimmest package they possibly can, and squeeze the most out of the workers. When will companies realize that a happy worker who feels valued and cared about is a more productive, loyal, and healthier asset to the company. I have worked in hospitals with unions, and to be honest, we would still be making half of what we now make were it not for union negotiations standing up for us, the dues are small compared to the guaranteed packages, and guaranteed raises built in to the contract for the next five years, as inflation eats up our paychecks. MTs study hard, must be experts at anatomy, epidemiology, grammar, semantics, translations for ESLs, understand clinical procedures during difficult procedures, edit, trouble-shoot when there is a problem with a file, be tech-savvy....I truly think, after almost 20 years, that MT as a profession has consistently been undervalued and undermined by offshoring. Sorry to rant, but all of these problems have hurt and affected most MTs for many, many years, and their families. Thanks!
    Fantastic program .. I have hired MTEC
    grads and have been really pleased with them. I would definitely suggest you choose that program. Wonderful education and caring staff.
    I do, 20 bucks plus shipping. Pedal works fantastic, hardly used.
    click on blue link to email me.
    This is a fantastic idea actually (renting hotel room)
    It may be tax deductible. I actually like my home and it is affordable as I got it at a low price several years ago and put a big down payment on it. In other words, I doubt if I could repeat this. No small children. What I am thinking of is that I will probably have to work until I am 60 at least. The only other option would be to go back to school and get training in another skill but even that seems difficult. I have no idea what I could learn and work at other than nursing.

    Thank you very much
    Wedding websites are fantastic..that address can be shared on the save the date card.

    Will the same apply for IC??
    x
    I'd like to apply.

    Apply, apply, apply
    I would suggest you check the archives of this and other MT boards.  I would also suggest you send out a lot of resumes and apply to many companies.  A great company for one person might not be a great company for you.  I would never quit one company unless I already had a job with another one.  If possible, work the 2 jobs to see which one is worth leaving and which one is worth staying with.  Don't sell yourself short.  You only deserve the best. 
    No, you don't want to apply here.
    If the Twilight Zone did a show regarding transcription companies, this would be it.
    I'd t ake it. If you don't want it, I'd like to apply.
    ;-D
    does not apply to IC's...sm
    you are self employed, remember? therefore YOU are the employer. If you have your house built and the guy who comes to put the siding on is slow, and doesn't know what he is doing, he might only make $3.00/hr by the time he's done. Does he go to your builder and say you need to pay me minimum wage...no, he bid the job and he is responsible for doing enough work in an hour to make it worth his while...just like you are! 
    400-650 when I apply myself.
    Using Escription.
    Apply to any and all

    You can find online, through magazines, etc.  I applied to over 100 when I first started out after school, and finally found someone who was willing to give me a try.  You will eventually find someone. 


    Also, if you can't find someone to hire you right away, write to a company to see if they might give you a short intern position or something.  It would be worth a try anyway. 


     


    Good Luck with your search!


    did we apply for the same job? LOL sm
    I've been at home for 12 years and it's taking a toll on me. I need some social interaction. There are 2 local hospitals here and one had a unit clerk, nights and weekends. I applied and within a few days, emailed me back and said no. Geez, didn't even get an interview.
    Why is it only for SEs? If its really quality they want it should apply to

    Quality is quality whether an employee or not.


    FYI, you can apply online...sm

    at:  www.fafsa.ed.gov  


    All the instructions are on this site.  You can get your "PIN" here (which you will use for applying online) and and also fill out your application for aid online. 


     


    1099 does not apply to SE
    xx
    Let's apply your logic here once again.
    OK.  So now people who don't like skanky celebrities think the celebs are their friends?  ROFL!  Please, keep posting.  It's quite amusing.  The more you post, the more you reveal your own crazy thinking.  Must be why you like Angelina so much.  She's some hotty kinda nutjob, eh?  Birds of a feather flock together.  Chirp, chirp! 
    I did say that what I was talking about might not apply to the OP
    Those are problems I usually see in MTs who have received an inadequate education in transcription, or who have only worked for 1 or 2 doctors in-house. If you weren't serious about "Why go to MT school" as a question, then I misunderstood.
    So are you hiring or not? I'd like to apply
    and see if I have what it takes to work for you.
    Thanks..I won't bother to apply with them now.
    nm
    Call me if you would like to apply
    I don't count the peaNUTS. I have someone do that for me. Actually, it usually turns into a naughty game if you know what I mean. Would you like to be a counter in the weekly peaNUT game? We always have room for more.
    Not because of pasting but if you apply to any job
    if it reaches the company you sent your resume to, just like when you post a message your email is already filled in.  It's cookies in your browser like above poster said.
    Thank you a bunch! Looking to apply
    there - are they good?
    Mostly apply to ones with no pay posted
    Most of the ones I see with pay posted list their high figure as one being below what I would accept, except there are one or two IC ads I have seen that were in my pay range.  For employee status, most don't state but I know what my worth is and what I want from a company, which gives real added value to the cpl.  It has been my experience that most employers will negotiate the cpl when a good applicant comes their way, so I don't worry much about going through the interview process not knowing the pay scale.  Even if I go through all the testing and interviewing and the pay becomes the ONLY issue that would break the deal, I still feel that I learned something from the experience and can apply that to being more selective in choosing another company to apply with.  Knowing what the competition of your employer is doing gives you power and confidence in finding your niche.
    How would I apply? am sure I'm out of state. (nm)

    Well, then doesn’t apply to me, just
    telling it like I have lived and see it now. Reading just below today another person who has been in for quite a few years saying outsourced and giving it up. Thank goodness don’t have to do that as in the golden years but earlier I would have just had to work a heck of a lot more to make it and raise my family....
    Absolutely does apply
    All reports must be approved and signed by physician. If she is not qualified to create reports on patient charts, which means given approval by the doc to do such as a nurse or PA, big big trouble. I know.. I supervisor HIM department. Joint Comission would have a fit.
    And Tude-Y MTs need not apply!
    !
    DO NOT APPLY WITH SPI/CYMED
    They are "eliminating" positions apparently to start their transfer offshore. Not a good company to work for by any means!!!
    I would think just go ahead and apply.
    If you've done acute care, you should be fine with radiology.  I've never done pathology, but I would think it would be pretty similar to radiology in that they use certain tests for certain specimens.  I think there's a touch of radiology and pathology in acute care reports.  I do a lot of clinic and also have worked full-time radiology, and they are seem to intertwine.  I would say either let your current employer know you're interested and see what happens. 
    Apply the BOS rules
    Expand abbreviations in diagnosis, impression, and assessment. Otherwise leave abbreviated. If you have the BOS, you can check under "abbreviations." A lot of companies say in their ads and/or on their websites whether they adhere to the BOS or not, and/or if that is a reference they require. I do not think you can go wrong if you generally apply the BOS rules whereas you have to watch out because some are using the 3rd edition now.
