In Reply to: You keep saying this over and over, but you won't tell - a decent MT
...that I would want working for me.
I didn't say I was hiring right now, did I? When I have posted ads I get a slew of applicants who cannot even spell in their e-mails.
And I "say this over and over?" This is my first post.
Attitude to me, is 95% of the battle with MTs. My crew is all friendly and kind. I don't hire snippy, rude, arrogant, insulting types.

Good for you! You sound like a very nice and generous person and you deserve all your good luck! nm

Wow. You sound exactly like the type of person
.
Some nice person just below tried to SM
change the subject, people began to post under it, we were moving away from the previous issue and you DECIDED to bring it up again.
How helpful is that, I wonder?
No, but it does sound like a nice thing to have
NM
and you sound like such a sweet, happy person yourself
angry, angry, angry
OP must be a really nice person to think that is generous
I had a person sound really interested in changing careers and doing this...
until I mentioned that she had to take a really reputable course in this field and that it would cost a fair amount of money but that for this price they would mentor her into a position, and not to pay for a course that offered less than this if it were what she really wanted to do, and this changed her mind quickly. She didn't know it would cost her!
It doesn't sound HATEFUL to me, this person is just saying that suddenly
those who celebrate Christmas are forced to conform for a few minority religions? That's not right. A friend of mine who is Jewish regularly has her children out of school during Hannukah and the school doesn't penalize her children for it. As far as Christmas plays are concerned, I don't think it's right to force children to be in a play that consists of a bunch of different beliefs if they are not of that particular belief system. If that is how it is going to be, then they need to completely do away with Christmas/Holiday plays altogether. There are many holiday songs out there that don't recognize ANY religion at all. If religion is the issue, than children can easily sing Santa Clause is coming to town or, Jingle Bells, etc. without offending since those songs lean more toward the commercial aspect of the holiday season. And then, those who want to participate in separate PRIVATE plays can do so. There are options that can be chosen without hurting anyone's feelings about their religious beliefs.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if the same person
posts this same question over and over again just to see what kind of response they'll get.
I said I didn't want to cause trouble. I'm a nice person.
I don't want trouble here either. Keep it nice.
Yeah, that is nice. nm

Yeah, it would be nice (sm)
but I don't think they will be able to get enough out of the client to pay much higher than that. I guess it depends on which part of the country the client is located in. It seems to vary. I am an IC. I am paid 13 cpl working for an MTSO, but I know I am very fortunate to receive that much. As I said before, it definitely makes me value my job. I make sure that I am never out of TAT, I proofread all of my reports, and I work nights/weekends/holidays...everything. When the physicians at our hospital take their yearly survey, transcription is always on the top of their "most satisfied with" list. There sure is a lot of room for improvement in this industry. I wish we had an organization that actually worked for the American MT. 
yeah, but how does 15 lb and 7 inches in one month sound?
It's called ... working out, hard!!!
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there.
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.
Go live in Iraq or something.
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
it does sound like a lot of
racil feelings are coming out in this thread...and that is a shame.
I know! You all sound like me
We might have to start our own MT group --the morning, noon, and night MTs or something like that.:)
I know your time is scarce so won't hold you. Just have to come here to give my ears a break from the dictation but back to work I go...
you sound like a 2 and 3 yr old
playing house
It does sound bad, but I think
We have these things going on all the time around us, but we just hear more about them now. And it seems since I have been watching Nancy Grace that there are many more unsolved murders and teens missing.
This may sound very odd...
but have you tried rubbing heated Castor Oil on your sore joints?
I know. It sounds strange. My mother has severe arthritis and she read that "somewhere" and tried it and now she swears by it.
Just trying to help.
Ohh, I like the sound of that lol Tell me more.
How do we find these hospitals?
You can still have that sound!...sm
You can download a free program and choose the sound you want your keys to make! They even have tap dance that my 11-year-old stepdaughter loves!

I think it's a trial program, but I like the clickity click so much that I may purchase it. This was posted under the production category because it seems to make you type faster. It helps me with my rhythm I think.
NEED TO SOUND OFF!!
First, please don't think that I don't believe in helping others because I DO. What I can't stand is for those you try to help to just take with no appreciation and then turn around and harm those in our community who try to help them.
Just before Christmas while watching the news the top story was of an elderly man who worked doing custodial work at a local hotel. He was severely beaten and left for dead one night by 4 young males just because he asked them to quit tearing down the hotel's Christmas decorations. Now when I say left for dead, I mean left for dead. This man is still in the hospital and is still unrecognizable. His doctors have said that he will need countless surgeries to rebuild his face ENTIRELY and will need 50 or more screws to hold it together. Last night it broke that 2 of them were in custody (turned in by family members) and they picked the other 2 up today. What is do disturbing is at least 1 of the 4 males is a Hurricane Katrina evacuee that had come to our city for shelter and assistance.
It is acts like this that make us weary about who we help and how we do it. The beating of an elderly man is bad enough by itself but then to tell us it was someone who came to us for shelter and help responsible is just appauling.
I apologize for any typos but it is late and I am tired. I just needed to sound off before I try to sleep.
They both sound better than
any doctor I've heard. "Living my life like it's golden..." :)
You sound exactly like me. My mom is
pretty much a workaholic, self image totally tied into her accomplishments, and I vowed I wouldn't do that to my kids either. I'm torn often though as of course I've got other personal ambitions, having some of my mom in me I guess, but I just can't imagine not being there for my kids.
That said, short of being some sort of consultant or having your own accounting business or something like that, I'm not sure what else a person could do to have this kind of flexibility.
Oh, my! You sound like me!!! . . .
I say it over and over again . . . VERIFY. Do not transcribe what you THINK you hear. If you don't know it with CERTAINTY, VERIFY it!!!!!
I try to be tactful and kind, but when the same things are done day after day, it isn't easy to be "nice." I know sometimes I am rather short and to the point, but when some don't learn and don't change anything It becomes very, very frustrating.
I could fill a book with the not-so-funny errors I see daily.
Thanks! It does sound like fun. nm

You sound just like me, always know where everything is,
am the only one who can find things even if others look, and certainly don't ask, just do it myself. :)
How does this sound for QA?
I'll only be doing QA on each person for 2 weeks. They offered $5.00 per MT and then a $25 bonus when they graduate from having to pend items to me. I'm also training and get $10 per person, which is fine with me because I can train 10 people at once. Any feedback is appreciated!
You don't sound old...
saying everything I was thinking...thank you! It's a job, plain and simple...go, do your work, go home, and forget about it...Life's way too short to stress over this...God bless!
Do you know that sound well?

you sound like me
my dog goes with me too, numerous places. He is fun to have along and it all goes away until I come back to sit down and work again,but I feel a little relieved. I always keep my eyes and ears open for other opportunities.
Sound
Can you provide more info. on Sound Medical Transcription? Do they have a website and/or how to contact them? Are they flexible? Thanks!
You sound like me...sm
I have been an MT for a year now. I do clinic but I did acute care for a couple of months and then the account got real slow and they put me back on clinic. I liked clinic a lot better. It is a lot easier. But it is good for you to do acute care because you are getting a wide variety of experience. My acute care account had tons of dictators on it. The only thing to do is keep at it. Or you may want to find another job with easier dictators. I am not the fastest typer either. But the only thing to do is hang in there and everyone says you will get faster and faster and you will learn more and more of the words you are having to look up. I do the clinic and only have 3 dictators and they are really good dictators. That is what I was offered and I have been doing that same clinic a year now. I really like it. But right now even on clinic I only do 100 or a little more than 100 an hour of lines. My friend told me she started out slow but she said you will keep picking up the speed.
What exactly are these? Is the sound better...sm
than regular headsets?
Sorry about your mom. You sound like
x
You know, you sound exactly...
like 'southernmt' above... the one who is trying to get the taxpayers to pay for her unplanned pregnancy. Yeah, let everyone else work the crappy hours so you can take care of your kid. Then you have the nerve to come on here and complain about your situation. No wonder you can't find a good job.
You sound like me
I freak during typing tests and tend to ramble during job interviews.
I always say, some people can sound like they know what they are talking about when they have no clue, and I sound like I have no clue even when I know what I am talking about. Lol!
The one person I know who his doing VR....
isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it. And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better. I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
like the person below said------
no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing
and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been
the personification of Marian the Librarian.
I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives. But no such luck.
