It is an okay deal - TR 11 font is small. Not as good a deal as Courier.
Personally, I would have to think really hard and compare reports and line counts, like the other poster below suggested, before I would jump right into it. It is probably 75-80 characters to a line +/- the single character lines you get for initials, and 2 word lines you get with op reports such as Surgeon:
IV Fluids:
Anesthesia:
etc.
It probably is comparable to 9 cpl with a larger font.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Good Luck!
be thankful
How about getting a check day? How many of us are two paychecks from bankruptcy...Quitchabitchin...
Thankful MT
And just how many of your wonderkids can actually produce 4000 lines a day?
I'm very thankful (sm)
... and would have just been pleased if they had offered to cover the cost of the test, truthfully!
I work for a small hospital in TX but they are part of a large corporate health system out of FL so that is likely why they offer such a nice increase.
I'm thankful to have a job at all
To my fellow MTs on Thanksgiving Day. A poem that makes me realize how blessed I am to have a job at all in this economy. Even if it's not perfect, it's a paycheck.  Hope it touches the heart of all who read it.
BE THANKFUL

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

I was very thankful on an above post
I can take critism and welcome it actually but not the way that poster put it. I have asked for help, in above posts...I misspelled something thats fine correct me but not that way...I am extremely swamped with this undertaking..The researching has just begun..I am not going to waste my time if I can't get enough people on board...I know Homeland Security but am looking further into that right now.....HIPAA was an after thought as an idea...I am researching that now...Yes I meant to be snippy to that particular post..You get back what you ask for...See posts above by enlarge I have had a lot of helpful ideas from people..And they are well received and happily received..Perfect is something I never claim to be..
Be thankful. If they hire more you will
stare at nothing on the screen.
I guess be thankful. It's more than I got. nm

lol. If she is quiet during the night, be thankful for that.

Always be thankful for what you have, cuz things could be MUCH worse! :) nm

Be thankful. If we were perfect like you obviously are, you'd be out of a job. OMG I thought we
x
I would type it and be thankful I have work.
Eventually you will get good at it. It takes practice. If you start complaining, they may just send you less work.
Oh my gosh, be thankful and learn!
Seriously, since you're fresh out of school and this is your first job, really take the time to learn from Q.A. and don't worry about how long you stay on Q.A. If the QA people are good (as they should be), it's almost like on-the-job training for you, newMT.
Don't beat yourself up over it or second guess your competency. I think all of us here would agree that no matter how long we've been doing MT work, we STILL learn something new just about every day. The fields and specialties (not to mention every doctor's little idiosyncracies, lol!) will take YEARS to get a confident handle on, so don't sweat it.
Welcome to the world of MT and I think the fact you're so conscientious translates into great success for you.
Hang in there, be thankful for a helpful QA team who can help you learn, and don't push yourself too hard/too fast. You're going to be just F-I-N-E.
I'd kill for what you have--- be thankful -- sounds very good to me! - nm

Just be thankful that you don't actually see the person, I did. Your heart breaks for them. Goo

anyone watch deal or no deal?
I love Deal or No Deal.......nm
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

I am about where you are I think. There is just always something new to deal with and it just gets
worse and worse. Every new thing they implement just seems to make my job more difficult and ends up costing me money. I am thinking of just going very part time and then looking for something else. I have a feeling a lot of people are doing this.
I don't know what the big deal is.
When I've had "regular" in office type jobs, I've been subject to a criminal check. All it seems to be, however, is a standard form they send to the local sheriff's office. I had a mickey mouse job in bank operations last year, no access to anything confidential or cash, and I had to be photographed, fingerprinted, drug tested, credit and background checked.
Now that I am an MT, I am amazed at how easy it is to get hired and gain access very quickly to facilities, doctors, patients and their information. All I had to do was pass a transcription test and supply a SS#. Yeah, I'm sure the big national I'm with probably ran some type of credit check; but it was still a heck of a lot easier than getting that job in bank or any other job I've had for that matter.
Why it isn't a big deal
MQ MTs (of which I am an ex) have an option.....find a decent company who can provide a consistent work flow or just deal with MQ and quit whining! Our neighbors to the South have no choice, not only have many lost everything they own, they have also lost their jobs. Reflecting on THAT, those of us fortunate to have been spared really have very little to whine about doncha think??
Same here. What is the big deal?

Unless you want to deal with
maladjusted adult children for the rest of your life, who have very little to offer you because they can't figure out how to live a good life, if I were you, I'd get out of there tomorrow. Don't worry, you won't have to explain to him. He probably can't believe he has met a woman who would accept that type of behavior. It will not come as a surprise to anyone that you leave.
Yeah yeah, there were some good times mixed in there somewhere but they are canceled out the moment he treated your daughter with disdain. Your allowing it just proved to her she is an unworthy person. The one child who might take care of you when you get old is going to not be there for you (and believe me, you will need her).
if you can deal with it...sm
for a while and it pays your bills, take it, at least until something else comes up. it seems you have more pluses than negative right now. good luck
what is the big deal?
It directly specifically answered the original question and is a direct link to the credentialing body without naming names or bashing anyone?
what's the big deal ?
remember that some day when YOU need a favor.
same deal here
same deal, it works well in radiology where there are so many normal reports. i think its a cost saver in the long run for the facility but when the docs are training on it, if it learns something wrong, it stays wrong, so the docs are not big fans, esp older ones
Exactly! What's the big deal?
Why would anyone be offended by that?
What was the deal with her....sm
sprawled out on stage like that while singing? At least she wasn't humping the stage like a couple of weeks ago but she didn't dress or act like one would when singing that type of song.
I don't know if that is such a bad deal...
Gas may be expensive and you may have to buy your own paper but really, is it such a big deal?
Think about the perks of it. You transcribe for all the same doctors, so there is no "sneak attack" of the backlogged account that suddenly ends up in your queue and you have never worked before. You know the area and all the area doctors and facilities, so you don't have to spend all that time researching that elusive reference dropped casually in every report. You also do not have to deal with the headaches of your company's server being down, your DSL connection being interrupted for repair, or trusting your company to make sure all of your reports are being credited to the proper MT number so you are actually being paid for what you transcribe. You have also probably worked your drop-off route to hit the grocery store, post office, and bank, and everyone goes there anyway.
Personally, I would see getting out of the house every day as part of my "paid" job a perk, because although I am pretty happy with my profession, sitting in front of a computer 8-10 hours a day can be pretty tedious. Besides all of that, I am struggling to break 3K a month.
I would definitely do it.
IF he will deal with it, that is best
my sister married a man with 2 kids and she had 2 kids...all about the same ages. His son was a handful. I will never forget the Thanksgiving he was playing around at the table and set our great, great grandmother's tablecloth on fire. My sister looked at the fire and did nothing. I could tell she was MAKING herself do nothing (she may have had a Valium later, I don't know). Her husband put out the fire and took the boy out of the room. My sister still gets upset about that tablecloth, but today he is a pretty great kid and he respects my sister a lot.
what's the big deal?
What's the big deal about asking if anyone needs part time help or if anyone knows of anyone doing any part time hiring?
....just no big deal. nm

What is the deal with EHR anyway?
I have never worked in a doctor's office or hospital, and if I had maybe I would understand better. But I do not understand why the EHR being used in doctor's offices eliminates the need for outside transcription. Do they just check a few boxes on a form to document the visit or do they have transcription done in the office? I have done clinic transcription before, and some of the reports were very detailed, and I can't see how all that information could be documented without someone to type it. It seems to me that if corners are being cut (and I understand offices think cutting transcription costs is a valid way to save money) that it will come back to bite someone sooner or later. My doctor has just gone to the EHR, and while I was sitting there talking to him he was typing on the computer and could barely look at me. (I think he was just printing out prescriptions and lab test requests for me). Also I had several concerns, and he commented that I might have to schedule another visit. His office is affiliated with a hospital now and I think they are only given so many minutes to see a patient. I just think it is sad that the clock and saving a few dollars can determine patient care (although I do not see those savings being passed on to the consumer).
The big deal is
the doctor obviously does not know how to write his own macro (i.e. create a set of instructions whereby the computer is instructed via a couple of Keystrokes produce sometimes lengthy text/formatting/special characters, etc.) and he wants her to just give him the one that she created.
Obviously, he knows how he wants the document to read in the patients chart; what he is looking for is a way to lessen his workload, but he does not have the knowledge that he needs in this case.
I don't really see the big deal...
For goodness sakes. If it wasn't for the doctors, we wouldn't have a job... Why is everyone out to get the doctor? Times change. People move on. No one really owes us anything. I say give him the macros and charge him your line rate for them. They are after all his dictation to begin with. You simply transcribed them into your pc. You didn't dictate them, the doctor did.
No, it's not a BIG deal but
where I work we follow the BOS recommendations and abbreviate all units of measure that are accompanied by a numeral.
It's a done deal...
I don't work for a hospital--it's a medical clinic that houses many docs. The "green light" is in motion fot this to happen--it already is happening and the powers that be are pleased.
I'm not sure you know the deal here
This is a company that preys on offshore MTs, lures them in, gets them work (entire companies too not just individuals) and then pockets the money without paying them a dime. It's not exactly about just changing jobs for them. Should anyone figure out a way to legally go after this person, it'd be bad news. There's so much more involved than just not paying people. She tests for them with companies, has them sign in under specific information (her sign-in information) and gets their paycheck. Yes, she's a scam artist. She's not a boss.
So, what do you pay for? Sounds like a bad deal to me. nm

God help the QA and trainers who have to deal
nm
Agreed; what's the deal .....
There are other companies, instead of spouting your bitterness here... please work elsewhere.
I am really happy at MDI, as are most of the people I work with. I love my team leader. I don't know who you are, but gosh - you sure are negative.
What a deal! Where do I sign up????
Here's the deal. If someone is a Christian,
and they have been saved, the will go to heaven no matter what. Just read John 3:16. That is all there is to it, simple as that. You don't think that Jesus would have made it complicated, do you? If He had, we would all be going to hell.
(Mark Twain said he didn't want to go to heaven because he didn't like harp music.)
Thanks - FBI check is no big deal to me either,
especially if it means I can actually get some work! :)
We don't DO Valentine's day - no big deal - DH says you should (sm)
treat each other special every day, not just one. I tend to agree. I told this to my son who is recently married, and he said he and his wife decided to skip it, maybe a card or something, cause he says he brings her flowers about once a month anyway. I never knew this!! What a great kid I have.
For the real deal,
http://www.pcshorthand.com/
isn't that the deal with multiple...sm
ports for extra printers, etc., and you can switch back and forth from one to the other?? I had several for multiple printers on all computers years ago. I think that's what they were called. I can elaborate if on the right track here, if you want.
One suggestion....let HIM deal with it.
at their ages, there is not much you can do to "help" or change them. They are adults now and capable of paying consequences for their own actions. They are his kids, stay out of it as much as possible. Retreat to another room and try not to let them upset you. Kids that age are gonna do what they are gonna do and you have no ties to them. They will resent you no matter what, anyway. I don't mean to sound so cold hearted, but I have been there. They don't want your help and if they can make you upset, they will try...just because they can. That is all I have to say about it....good luck.
what's the Volvo deal? I like them....nm
