because they know new grads want 6-8 cpl just like they were told in school

and besides, like I said, takes too much time. So you take on a newbie, train them while paying them 2 cpl. Then they get their "experience" then they move on to greener pastures. Meanwhile the MT in India will still do it for 2 cpl, only now they are trained... get it?

And at least some of those college-grads went to school
so you'd think they would have an idea of not only the standard of living here, but the wages as well, and what things like food, gas & housing cost. Others were trained by American MTs or MTSOs. If nothing else, they should feel a little bit guilty about ripping off the country that is sending so much work their way.
I was always told (old school doc talk here)
The doc's "words of wisdom" were that a small child's body knows when to rid itself of whatever it needs to get rid of and if you give a small child something like Pepto Bismol to try and stop the vomiting, you are only preventing them from ridding their systems of what they need to get rid of. Makes sense.
Do look for signs of dehydration. Otherwise, get him a bowl and clean up the excess.
Hope he feels better.
Me, too. I told my kids that since they're not in school and I'm working two jobs
just to try to keep the utilities on, they get to do chores. Don't even get me started on holiday stress. My extended family sent me gift cards, so I'm using those to buy for the kids. I even offered to pay them $5 an hour for cleaning so they'd have Christmas money. Instead, what are they doing? Watching TV in their pajamas still. That's OK. I'm about to go unplug all the electronics in the house and give them a big chore list with NO pay.
just reminded, did you know Einstein failed grade school? His teachers told
Thank god they didn't believe it or the world would have been robbed of one of the greatest minds.
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
new grads and what they have to offer
very little experience, work very cheaply, anything just to get an opportunity. What a reality check it will be for them when they realize theyre going nowhere in this business after a couple of years, no raises, no opportunity for advancement, and still be making the same (or lower)$12/hr they started out at, all the while cost of living going up. Bright futures, I think not. Burn out, YES. These newbies will have to work even harder than we have to right now to make ends meet, maybe even take a second job. You are fortunate to have your own accounts and your own work so..... I don't think you understand whats going on in the world of MTs that work for these companies who work them to death.
Our Co hired about 20 grads from
Hi Rae,
The company I work for hired 20 graduates all at one time from Med Workshops and they did well. This was about 1-1/2 yrs ago.
We contracted with Med Workshops to provide the graduates based on parameters we were looking for. Because our Company spelled out the training, it was hard to go wrong. Students got a break on the normal tuition costs.
I understand they are a medical transcription staffing school; the only one I know of.
Who Hires M-Tec grads?
I just finished my coursework at M-TEC. I can't wait for my test to be graded...and I'm itching to find a job. Before my test, I was 95%. I'm wondering if anyone knows what companies routinly hire from M-Tec so I can go looking now and not have to wait till I am able to access the COC on M-TEC's website?
Don't forgot all those grads that are
just to get their foot in the door because they couldn't land a job. I haven't been there in a while, but the CS forum used to have a bunch of those kind of posts.
There IS A CHARGE FOR GRADS, . . .
and I don't want anyone misled either.
Clearly, grads pay $50 for the classes and another $49.95 for the review guide. This is still a great price, but IT IS NOT FREE FOR GRADS OR ANYONE ELSE. Perhaps you signed up for the classes before the fees was implemented
I do not care to violate copyright laws by posting the content of posts by Susan the grad forums.
However, for anyone without access to the M-Tec grad forum, there is indeed a fee for the RMT or CMT classes.
This has changed now. Only CS grads are accepted without
nm
There is no charge for grads to take the classes.
I just finished the course and signed up for the classes and did not pay a dime. You may be confused by the $50 Review Guide that is recommended to study with.
hen why do so many ads clearly state *must have X amount of exp. or New Grads Need Not Apply? sm
Then why do so many ads clearly state *must have X amount of exp. or New Grads Need Not Apply? sm
Totally untrue...M-TEC & Andrews grads are...
still allowed to test. Please stop giving false information.
Why? M-TEC & Andrews produce the absolute best grads.
nm
Many companies hire new grads for SR editing.
nm
Not anymore. Only Career Step grads without experience

I've never heard a bad remark from Andrews or M-Tec grads.
I've heard about the grader being wrong/ambiguous, and I've heard about the mistakes in the course.
From what I've heard, I also think the course is geared toward producing MTs to work for the big cheap companies. It's kind of like a (fill in the blank)______ company MT-maker assembly line.

The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers? Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
The School of Hard Knocks is the best MT school

We met in high school. My high school sweetheart
introduced us in a discussion over Ford versus Chevy versus Dodge. I used to race my Dodge Coronet with oldstyle 318 V-8 engine against the guys on the back roads and old highways. High school boyfriend had a Chevy truck. DH had a Ford Fairlane and later an AMC Javelin that just made me swoon. We didn't actually start dating until three years later, and my old high school boyfriend was a bit surprised at that since he introduced us.
I was told
I was told that I could be sued by the client or dr for what I transcribe and the company will not help me in any way. Now I called State Farm and told them what I wanted and they said that due to it being in the medical field they would not cover me....
I was told
the same thing. Some said they had to wade through stacks of resumes looking for resumes that even remotely came close to meeting the requirements they posted. I can see why the best ones don't post their job openings. I know the company I am working for has offered a referral bonus, they are hiring for all shifts, all hours. I don't refer people, referral bonus or not, but I would encourage anyone who is not happy to post their resume and pray they are contacted by this company or another equally good one.
Better to see the doc & be told all's well than (sm)
Have it be appendicitis & run the risk of rupturing. If you still have your ovaries, could be a cyst/adhesions/whatever. Or it could be just a strained muscle or something. If it were me, I'd check with my doc. Just my opinion, tho'.
Hope you feel better soon, regardless of what it is
someone told me that
she knew a guy who lost about 50 pounds in 3 months by drinking a gallon of water a day plus a gallon of Arizona green tea. Sounds like he was either overhydrated or bouncing off the walls! In any event, he was certainly spending a lot of time for pee breaks.
I was NEVER told anything
I had to be up to speed (12,000 lines) in one payperiod even starting on the new program and new account in order to not have to pay for computer and keep insurance. NEVER has the office I work out of ever said you could put a note on there and say it is new account and were we given time to get used to a new account.
MQ is for the birds. No continuity of rules at all.
Whoever told you all men are like this? Him? nm

That's what I was told by QA.
They told me that. Don't blame me.
I was told it can't be done
Or maybe we're thinking of different dictionaries. I was asking about the main word dictionary that comes with Stedmans. Is that the one you're referring to, or just the custom dictionary you create?
If it's the main dictionary, I would love to know how you do it. Please share.
I was told to
Shake up a bottle or can of 7up or sprite really, really well.. let it sit a few so it doesn't spray you lol..then warm it up a little bit. That does the trick for our 20 month old :)
What my doc told me-
"What!!!!! You're upping your rate????? IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!" That was 2 years ago.
Seriously...I have been doing his work for 11 years, always afraid of raising the rate because I knew he always had other sending him letters and calling him. I finally took a deep breath and upped it last year...a whole penny more per line. That's when he made the above statement.
I don't print any of his work. He calls my 800 number to dictate and I PCAnywhere his work to his computer twice a week. It used to be 20 minutes twice a week, now it's up to 40 minutes twice a week.
HE told ME that others want to charge triple what I charge. Well, I can make him happy if he wants me to up my rates again. 
He gives me $100 bonus at Christmas and a wonderful card thanking me for the terrific service I provide to him. I love this guy and would never, ever think about dropping him.  and he told me he would never, ever THINK of dropping me for someone else.
FYI, 11 years ago, I charged him $.15 a line/65 character line, now I charge $.16. He's one of the fantastic few doctors who appreciate the MT. For that reason, I also appreciate him and send him Omaha Steaks at Christmas (no more than $50).
My vet told me it's HIS job to sm
do anal glands and no one but a vet should do it as it can be tricky and mistakes can cost an owner money and I agree with him. My previous cocker had glands that would plug up and he had a certain way that he would do that caused her no pain and she would need to be on antibiotics for a week after. I've NEVER done my own dog's, always took them to the vet, per HIS recommendation that no one BUT A VET should do glands. Personally, if demand that much from your groomer, then I wouldn't want you for a customer.
what would you do when your 10y/o told you
honestly, I don't know how to handle this without hurting her feelings. please help!! need some good advice. Thanks in advance
I have not been told
that it is required to switch to VR. I have also not spoken to anyone with that works with the company that was *forced* into doing VR. I have been told that it is an option.
He should have told you before but
as an MT with many years of experience (25), I would not appreciate very much having someone with less than half my experience as my "manager" and QA person. And I know a lot of seasoned MTs who feel the same way. Of course I could have the job if I really wanted it and I don't, I just want to transcribe. But still I expect someone who at least knows as much as me, if not more, to be my supervisor.
She is saying that she was told that
she had a position with a certain company, but was told that she needed to buy a DocShuttle program in order to do her job. Once she bought the program from them, they never contacted her again. She was asking if anyone else had had this experience.
this has been told everywhere sm
That story has circulated around many, many times. Supposedly, the story is not true. You can Google it if you want, but according to research, it is a hoax.
Not what I was told sm
I was told I need one to work for a local company. I'll just have to call them directly next week. Thanks!
Who told you this??
I think you can get disability insurance but usually you have to cover employees with WC insurance but if you are an IC without employees, I don't think you can get it. But you could call your state WC division and ask them as I have been known to be wrong. But I don't have any. And if you subcontract to someone I don't think that they can require that you carry it yourself but again I could be wrong.
she was never told she was only IC.

We were told
at one point that to type in Word and copy and paste was a HIPAA violation and would be grounds for being let go immediately. Anyone else know of this?
Was told I could...
I work for Spheris and made that clear to my accountant. He insisted a few years ago I could write my home office, DSL, etc. off one year. Guess what? The IRS wanted $300 back, so I don't bother trying to write anything off anymore.
