Do Office Max or Staples carry the ones you mentioned?
Those are the only two office stores we have within an hour drive of me. Which models in particular would you recommend??? I do need to keep the price down, whether I buy them or the doctor's office does.
I do appreciate your feedback. :)
Try to find an office you can work out of where other MTs can help you out!
nm
Target, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot
etc.
I have no idea if OfficeMax or Staples has them, but again, OM or Staples cannot help you when you
have problems. I know you need to keep the price down, but I am telling you it is worth it at least for the first couple of doctors to pay more and know exactly what you are doing, and have someone to call if you have problems. I would buy the cheapest model they have at Transcription Gear. I have moved up to the better ones, but I believe they have one that is $225. If you have one or two single doctor offices that you can start with, that would be my recommendation. I use the Phillips 9450, which is way out of your price range. I gladly pay it for all new offices because I have gone the route you are attempting to go and will NEVER go that route again. If you can't go $225-230, look at what Phillips looks like so you will understand what I mean about emulating what most physicians have been using. I am sorry if I said that I was using Panasonic in previous posts. I forget it is Phillips and not Panasonic until I go looking for information. TG are fabulous people to deal with. Good luck.
I use Softflex gloves .. can't work w/o them
these are less than 30.00 and a pair lasts me at least 2 years ... Google Softflex ..
good luck to you ...
I actually wear gloves, regular knit, but thin gloves.
I get so used to typing with them on, when I take them off I have a hard time adjusting again.
Pay kids work around office, renovate office.

Smart gloves vs. Softflex gloves - Advice
Anyone use these for typing? Do you still have enough range of motion? I am struggling and have tried to type with my braces on but of course I can't. Any advice would be great!! Thanks.
Sometimes find decals for this in office supplies. OW, just use Magic Marker. nm

Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.
:
Do not work for Amherst if you can work for any other office in MQ. It is terrible. They overload
accounts terribly. We are always running out of work or need to have 8 or 9 backups to get lines in. This is the way it is. There may be a few out there that it is different but I do acute care and was just transferred there along with my office and everyone in my office is in the same boat. Not a good deal at all.
Just return the work, submit your bill, the scurry and find more work elsewhere. sm
They will never meet with you before next week. It is Thursday, already. Be prepared to sue for payment, because you will probably need to. But, most of all, find other work elsewhere, because I have a feeling this final payment will be a long time coming.
Does anyone on her work for Amherst MQ and how is that office to work for.

Staples also
I also found a comfy office chair at Staples. I still tuck a pillow behind my back for support. It's one of the most important things you can do for yourself when you're straining your brain for hours on end.
Staples should have them. You can go to
the website and look and get an idea.
I currently use a laptop and no mouse other than what is on the laptop. I have a keyboard tray that is fixed into position, can't push it in, so I have to stretch to use the laptop mouse and it does strain my shoulder. I need to look into getting a mouse tray too.
I haven't specifically looked for mouse trays, but was recently looking for a new keyboard tray and there are some that the mouse tray comes with it and can be hooked on either side.
What MQ office do you work for?
I have over 25+ years experience and have been with MQ since 1997. I sure am not getting 9.5 cents a line! I had to fight to get the tiny raise I did get. What's your secret for getting the 9.5 cents??? 
I work at a vet's office
That's my main second job. I usually have two or three transcription jobs.
I used to work in an onc office
and I can tell you that even though the doctors may sound cold when dictating, most of them are not that way in the office. As for feeling sad for the patients, I cried at least once a week when I worked in that office (and I only worked 2 days a week). I got very attached to these patients as many of them were coming every week for their treatments. But in the end, I felt privileged to have worked there. I made it my job to get to know these patients personally, to let them know that someone does care. Many of them left our office smiling and that made me feel good inside.
My OB once asked me if it was depressing, and I told him that while losing a patient in our office was always sad, but the patients were no longer in pain, and that I would rather deal with that loss than trying to explain to a new mother the loss of a baby any day. He agreed, said he never thought of it that way.
I'm currently working on a children's hospital and it's very saddening some days. The pediatric oncology is the worst, though. You just never expect something like that to happen to your family. You just kind of wake up one day and cancer has reared its ugly head.
The office that I work for is going to EMR in May
I went in for training a few weeks ago and it's all set up on my computer. They will still need transcriptionists. I was told that consultation notes will still have to be transcribed. There's too much information in them that you just can't point and click everything. Also, we fax all the work we do, so we still have to fax all notes. It looks like it's going to make my work a lot easier. Now, down the road maybe they won't need us full-time, but I've already been preparing for that by working as a legal Transcriptionist as well as a general transcriptionist.
Yes, better to be in an office than NO WORK at all.
What office were you offered 9.5? The one I work in does NOT go over 8.
I am the only MT on the account I am doing and the client REFUSES to have anyone else do it..i figure leverage, but they still wont pay more than 8 NO SPACES. I never have blanks, never mess up at all, work ALLLLL the time. Where or where did you get 9.5?
I work out of the Dallas/SW office and
over the past 4 years, I have had slow work once or twice but have never run out. Now, that doesn't mean that possibly some accounts were not out but the accounts I work on provided me with work so that I never lost a line from it.
Enjoy the boards, Michael!
Do you work out of the Seattle office?
Just curious. Our Portland office closed recently.
I DON'T GET IT????? I have NEVER run out of work EVER. We are ALWAYS swamped at my office!!!
Sorry to hear your office is so slow. Come to the Dallas office...you'll never run out of work.
That stinks. Must be the office you work for because
I had nothing but STAT reports for 5 hours straight this a.m. and then reports went back to last Friday's dictation. I wish there were some way I could send some out to you.
Weird thing is that in the last couple of weeks I have logged on to find no work, but within an hour, I have plenty of work. Uh oh. Is it my turn? 
The office I work for some of the docs went
Now the office staff who handles the dictation are griping because they don't like Cbay. They say it is hard to get the work back and it always needs edited. The docs are behind on editing because they get caught up doing other things. I had the staff say they wish the doctors would not have drifted.. makes my head well, but you get what you pay for... 
Work in office and home
The office provided me with software in order to hook up to the office over my DSL line. Just connect to the company's software and the computer works as if I was in the office exactly the same way. And anyone in the office can see what I have typed instantly! I love it! I would much prefer working at home than at the office however!!
I used to work for a neurosurgeons' office (SM)
They didn't test me when I went in for my interview. The HR lady said they would find out soon enough if I didn't know how to type. I guess that makes sense!! I worked there for 2 years
I would work in the office in a heartbeat
if it meant a liveable wage and no more sending of OUR jobs to INDIA. Working at home holds no great thrill to me. It's the paycheck that matters. This work-at-home thing is what started all this fiasco but nobody wants to give up their flexibility blah blah blah.
I got a nice comfy one at Staples for $99 - sm
relatively cushy and has arm rests too (if you want arm rests that is). Nice grey suede-like material too. I still have to squinch around sometimes just for a change in position but I think that is unavoidable with sitting so long.
I have seen them at Walmart and Staples. Lots
of online sales right now, though I guess delivery by Christmas might be pushing it. I think Staples has free shipping right now. Actually, even local pharmacies carry Cross pen sets normally located by the watches. Good luck to you!
Silly, but I use Staples. I have a rewards
card and am always getting $$ back from them. Plus now they give you $3 coupons for each empty ink cart you return. And I shop for the ink I use when its on sale. I really save a lot - probably 50% - on brand name ink via Staples. Am a happy camper! I have tried E-bay before. In fact, I am a power seller on E-Bay, but really had bad luck with ink carts in the long run.
my daughter swears by Staples....*S*...nm
like at staples? I haven't looked
a - because I just realized this is why my shoulder is hurting and b- because I don't want a new desk and I always seem to get talked into things I don't want.
Which office do you work for if you dont mind.
:
LOL tooo funny. You work in this office?
How do you know?
I always ask via e-mail to whomever I work the most with at the office

In-office work is different than working at home. That's just the way it is. If it seems too
rigid to you, maybe you should stick to working for the nationals.
I used to work in the master bedroom and now I have my own office. I could

When you work in an office, you can see when others are manipulating the system.
so don't judge her for knowing
Well, part of the reason I do NOT work in an office sm
is so that I CAN take the time to stop and feed my child, or put a band-aid on a scraped knee, or read a quick story... My children are a priority to me and the distraction they cause is acceptable for me. That doesn't make my work ethic any less than yours IMO, I work more hours probably. I work some nights after the rest of my family is sleeping. My work ethic is such that I get my work done and still give time to my children when they need it.
Does anyone send cards or anything to the office they work for? (sm)
Years ago when I worked for a smaller company a bunch of us made a big box of goodies and mailed it to the office. They were such great people, helpful and cheerful. The company always sent us something and we didn't want to just send to the owner of the company so we felt a card in a box of goodies everyone could share. Smaller places have more of a personal feel .
Now I work for a larger company and home made goodies may not be such a good idea. (The shipping alone would be a killer.) I guess a card addressed to "everyone" will have to do it. Thought about having X-mas cards made up with my family picture on it and sending that to kind of help them also put a face to the name. Too much? Think I would be better off with just a standard card?
Those of you that are doing anything for the office you work out of, what are you doing? Would love to "borrow" a really good idea.
TIA
Who me? No, I work for a local nephrology office.
Never worked for Spheris.
If it is a medical office, they should have one as we all sign one when we work there -- nm

Going back to Office Admin Work
Hello everyone. I wanted to sign in and thank everyone for all the info that has been posted on this board. It was a very important web site for me during my short transcription career.
After being laid off from a company in Michigan 3 weeks ago, I have searched for and found an office manager position in a non-MT environment. I'm going back to my routes in Admin. I tried to make a career change a few years ago. Maybe it was not the financial environment to make such a change or maybe it is just not for me. What ever the case is, I'm leaving. I have invested a large amount of time and money into this dream but sometimes you have to know when to "fold 'em." Lucky for me hubby is on board and not making me feel bad about our investment or how this dream of mine drained our finances.
So, again, thanks for all the help and good luck to everyone.
I bought an Acer monitor from Staples
It's been well over a year now... Towers are a different story, but I've had pretty good luck with e-machines from Best Buy.
They are and that is why we dont have work then. They bring in other offices and run your office out
of work because too many people are on the account then. Make sense. Nope.
any chance they are hiring? I did work for an office that got ate up by MQ..but I had just left.
LPN.glorified CNA..I'd not want to work in a podiatrist office if I went through the time to get
I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck. I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them. It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies. I feel like I am appreciated.
Anyone ever work for a scant that has NO HELP in the office and is always last minute? Watch out fo
I have been helping out an attorney for the last 5 or 6 months because medical wasn't as busy around here, I haven't done this kind of work in quite a while.
The first time it took him 3 months to pay the bill, it was only about $300. Now this time it's almost $800 and he hasn't paid it. It has been 2 months and counting so I cut him off until he pays it.
He started leaving last minute stuff on my machine all the time and leaving messages that it had to get done right away, yada, yada, yada.... Now I'm screwed because he hasn't paid the bill. I finally put new ID numbers into the dictation system so he couldn't dictate on it. There are people out there who can't afford office staff and won't pay you either !!
