and it is not your employer's problem that you need to take care of your kid.  This attitude is the exact reason why MTs are not respected.  People do get sick on nights, weekends, and holidays.  You should have considered that when you decided to become an MT.  It's a 24/7 job.

Would anyone be interested in sharing their opinions or experience with a flexible keyboard.  I saw one in a discount food store, a place called Aldis, and it was about 14, 15 bucks. 

It looked interesting; however, I am so used to punching the keys down (the keys and board look almost wafer-thin!) so wanted to know if anyone has tried it and if they liked it or not. 

Any input would be appreciated, thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving season to everyone. 

or go to a different company.  I'll be the first one to admit I am an employee and rarely work my schedule.  It is NOT a problem with management, in fact it is a plus.  Why?  Because when the work runs out, I have two other hospitals to back me up.  If they are low, I log out, do my laundry, run my errands and sign back in after dinner when the work has built up again and there isn't anyone willing to work those hours.  I log in  on the weekends as I often get notes from my account supe advising everyone who is scheduled to work but are NOT working how behind the account is.  My committment is to my accounts because if I take care of my accounts, those accounts take care of my employer and when that happens, my employer takes care of me.  Patients don't always need treatment and/or dictation is not always done when you are scheduled to work.  This is the nature of the beast and being miserable is no way to deal with it. 

Over the last 10+ years, this attitude has been rewarded many times over by being a very valued employee and have appreciation shown in many ways that have made my life richer, in addition to providing an income that exceeds the average MT.

than I could make working in an office, even though I haven't had a raise in 5 years and not likely to get one anytime soon.  I homeschool my children, we don't have a 9 to 5 lifestyle, DH doesn't have a 9 to 5 job and it allows him a 3 day weekend so we like to travel.  I am able to work anywhere I can get internet access so we can pickup and go at a moments notice w/o me having to worry about work.

I hate office politics.   I don't have to spend $$ on clothes as I work in jeans or sweats, or can stay in my jammies all day.   We only have 1 car and that works for us now, but wouldn't if I worked outside the home. 

Life is just less stressful not having to get my kids up at 6:00 a.m. to get ready so they can catch the bus by 7:00.   My DC would be getting home at 4:00 or later if they were in school and by the time they did homework and we had dinner it would be time to prepare for bed and we wouldn't have much family time.  By homeschooling my DC have been able to explore their passions, have really developed a love of learning and we have developed a wonderful family bond.  We spend hours every week talking about world events, relationships, etc.   My DC are my #1 reason for working at home.   When they have left the nest I may consider working outside the home, or at least exploring other work-at-home options. 

I've been there almost a year and I've never had a problem with bending my schedule by a couple of hours.  They would like you to work the hours you committed to, but no one has ever said anything to me about starting earlier or later or ending my shift a little early.  But, I make sure that my lines are adequate before I stop for the day.  I have had a couple people tell me that they will get an email or a phone call about working their committed schedule, but it was mostly for people who are not producing enough.

Hope that helps!

I know that a lot has been said about the changes at Transcend and their platform for some accounts going to Beyond TXT.  It is a VR/typing platform.  It has received some negative publicity here on MT Stars.  I just want to give another opinion of it for all those who might have or are considering a position with Transcend.  I believe some of the posts may have scared some people off. 

I have been working on the new platform now for a little while and I have to say that I absolutely love it.  The platform has been designed specifically for MTs with many of our suggestions implemented into the making of it.  It is quick and very easy to type on.  The thing I love the most about it and the company is that they are consistently making changes to it.  The changes are generated by emails from MTs who type on it, making suggestions to make it better and better for us.  I have never worked for a company that goes to that length for us. 

This is my experience at Transcend and I understand not everyone has the same experience.  No need to start flaming me for my experience.  Just wanted to give my side to the changes that are happening at this great company.  And NO I am not management. 

Have tested for both. Any pros and cons from either (or both) would be greatly appreciated.  TIA..
