Just hang in there. Pay special attention to every report, especially the errors you have done in the past, and follow your account specifics exactly (keep a copy next to you) Practice makes perfect.

don't hang it up..
It will take some time. I hope you are wearing head gear. I have had a few nasty falls, but always get back in the saddle again except for one time, hit my head hard and saw stars. They tried to get me back on the horse, but I couldn't even see it. They thought I was scared. The problem is, that if you are scared, your horse will smell it and get a little rowdy. If you can, ride with someone else for awhile, switch horses if you have another one. But hang in there, too much fun to give up. I'd give up driving before giving up riding.
Hang in there...
That is unless you directly had reason for concern. Just because they are investigating doesn't mean that they are actually going to find anything and sometimes it is only one disgruntled former employee that causes a lot of trouble for a company. Sometimes the company can end up getting a fine, changing a policy or absolutely nothing being done from an investigation. I was in middle managment for many years an the hospital I worked for got investigated a couple of times and nothing ever came from it.
Hang in there
Are you otherwise satisfied with your job? Would they fill the position if they were able to find someone? Maybe they could advertise for a part-time night person, and all the MTs could try to get the word out. Some people may be waiting in the wings for a chance at a hospital job and might take a night job, especially if they are looking for part-time.
they better hang onto you!
With my new acct, I go 2x per week (about 30 miles Roundtrip) and I HATE it when they call me to come in for a third day. I would not worry about losing that acct, you're spoiling them
Best of luck with the printer!
Hang in there....
When I had a hysterectomy at age 39, my doctor told me that it would be 6 weeks before I would be able to do what I did before my hysterectomy; however, it would be 3 months before I really "felt" like doing everything that I did before. Amazingly, it was almost 3 months to the day when I was cleaning house and I realized that I felt GOOD.
I have been on Premarin since then - I was given my first pill in the hospital as soon as I could take po medication. With all the talk about HRT, I have decreased the dosage several times over the years.
Don't look back. Look forward to feeling better. I did not have a hysterectomy by choice, but have never regretted it since then.
You'll feel better soon.
Hang in there...
I went through fertility treatment as well with Clomid and IUI. The first pregnancy was a miscarriage, but the second I had TWINS! They are 17 months old now (girls, fraternal). Hang in there....It WILL happen!!
Hang in there
It sounds like we are in the same boat. Is this your first pregnancy? The other MTs have been giving some great advice. I think the best thing for me would be to split my shifts. I only need to work 6 hours, which is full-time for my 2100 line count. I am thinking of probably splitting it into three 2-hour shifts and see how that will work out. My only problem with that is not wanting to come back to work after I complete four hours. I will just have to push my self to do the last two hours. My husband is very understanding. But he always asks me what my line count was for that day and will even cook dinner and help out with the kids if I have to work at night. I will keep you posted if you would like to chat sometimes. Send me an e-mail.
hang in there
i make 10 cpl. there are companies out there that will pay that IC. you need to get some more experience under your belt. i have been doing this 8 years now. your speed needs to pick up a little also and it will. just hang in there.
Hang in there!
I know what you are saying about working at home with kids. My youngest were 2 and 3 when I started working at home and it has been a rough couple of years, but now they are 6 and 7 and both in school (the youngest 3 days a week). I can do about 1000 lines in 4 to 5 hours depending on the type of work I get. When your son is older, he isn't going to care if your production is was a little less. He is going to remember that you were there with him and did the best you could. So be proud of yourself and hang in there... It does get better. We are all just doing the our very best to be good mothers and housekeepers and transcriptionists and wives (gee, I am tired  )... So keep your chin up! 
Hang in there....sm
you will get better and better but first you must make yourself take one on....once you get an ear for a few different dialects it will become easier. I had one yesterday, 25 minutes long (and spoke for all but 2 of those minutes) never did the doc before, an 8/10 on the ESL pain scale, and only had to leave about 7 blanks on a 5 page report. You can do it!
Hang in there......
I have known some companies to give a few easy and then one VERY hard test just to see how you handle it. Will you guess or will you leave blanks, etc. It may just all work out in the end! You just never know!
Hang in there. How
long since you graduated and have you worked at all?
Hang in there!
I hope today is a better day for you and your family. All I have to say is that there are many more companies out there that will treat you with respect and are very understanding about glitches and family crises. I work for 3 different places and 2 out of the 3 are cool as an IC. Just keep looking, move on, we don't need all the additional stress. God Bless . . . .C
This would definitely get his attention!
Sorry I didn't try the frying pan thing FIRST!!! Will keep this in mind....for the next go 'round....
Just hang in there - PS
Forgot to mention, the English say, "full stop." That means "period." You can do it and then you'll be the best in town, you'll see! Keep a notebook, it helps, different dialects for different countries, you'll catch on!! Womit usually means "vomit" in another dialect. Go with the flow.
Like I said.......looking for attention....
xx
You have to hang in for now.....
Know how you feel, but part of it may be depression (which is understandable) that you're not appreciated. If you quit, they win. If you hang in and stick it out until you get someone who appreciates you, then you win. I refuse to take anyone back, had that happen -- begging, "Will you take us back?" "Nope, sorry, too busy!" Payback is worth it. Hang in and you won't be sorry, there are other fish in the sea.
hang in there
MT work ALWAYS since time immortal attracts people likie your "stupidvisor". They are usually miserable old cows and it makes their day to ruin another persons day. Get a GOOD spellchecker, do a job where you do editing (ranges around 4 cents a line)...the spell check picks up most mistakes...the trouble with editing is that most of the dictators are crappy foreigners, valley girls, etc and the computer just types in a bunch of crap. You need to do 2000 lines to make $80.00 so if you get lucky you can do easily 100.00 daily on a good account. Good luck to you but don't give up. It is not that you are stupid by any means...you just are working with an old cow. My suggestion, go online and try Transcend (they are based out of Atlanta) and have accounts all over the world...NO QA's in india and there is a GOOD support staff.
Good luck I will pray for you.
kind regards,
patti...
p.s. I work for transcend.
Hang in There
Duh, how could we tell you work for Transcend. Well let me tell you that Transcend has a few stupidvisors too --- they are hardly cows, maybe blonde and young but they have them if you are lucky enough to find one as I did and it ended a great career at Transcend. I loved it except for a few managers that can ruin a company in record time. Be forewarned if you go to Transcend, it is a great company if you don't get mowed over by the blonde stupidvisors!
hang in there
wow, you seem to have a really bad taste in your mouth - too bad you want to ruin it for everybody. I am a supervisor at Transcend and neither blonde or stupid. Not young either. Perhaps counseling would help you sort out the problem here???
Please hang around and don't be....sm
...discouraged! Just take what you want and leave the rest.
Some of my former co-workers used to call this (MTStars) the "b*tch board". Speaking for my ownself, I think some of the "b*tching" is screamingly funny. Most of these MTs have probably never even met personally, yet get into cat fights (excuse the mixed metaphors) on this board just, it seems, for fun, and enjoy bickering. It's nothing to take serious. :D :D
Thanks! I'm hoping to get the hang of it
nm
You aren't alone, hang in there.
Hang in there. I just went with a hospital....
who was looking for remote MTs. My line count doubled overnight. Literally. I still work on my other account and I'm lucky to do 150 lines an hour. On my hospital account I can do anywhere between 200-450 lines per hour. Makes me wonder if their line counting system is very generous, or whether my national's line counting (on clinic work, no less!) is suspect. Don't ask why I'm still at the national...just a little nervous about making the final decision.
Hang on tight.
There will stil be lots of rocky hills to make it over, but you will be happier once you are over them. I will be praying for you and your kids!
hang on with both hands - and don't let go
You pay 100% attention to work while SM
you are working and get someone to care for the baby while you are working. Same when it gets bigger.
Pay attention to the above post...sm
This lady knows what she is talking about....not that the others don't. When you allow the Lord to have reign over your life and let Him love you, things do turn around in ways we could never imagine in our own right. I wish I had realized this 8 years ago, but sadly I did not.
I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
I know how you feel but hang in there.
With my last pregnancy I was on Clomid, and then Clomid and HCG shots. I was told that after 6 months if I wasn't pregnant they would stop because it wasn't safe for me to continue any longer than that. I was not willing to try Pergonal or anything invasive, but on my very last round I got pregnant. I went to the doctor's office for my test and it took nearly 15 minutes for the line to show up and then it was so faint. I had a friend who had been on BC pills for 10 years and it took her over a year to get pregnant. If you have tried for a year and it hasn't happened see your doctor. My DH had to go for a sperm count and he had lots of WBCs in his sperm and was treated with antibiotics. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not, but after he was treated is when I got pregnant. My doctor says this is fairly common. For us too I started out having to do the temperature thing. I switched doctors because the first doctor stopped doing deliveries and I wanted to stay with one doctor. The second doctor told us to only have activity every OTHER day. I felt like our first pregnancy was from more activity so we went to every day that last cycle. Not sure what the magic solution was, but it happened.
And if you pay attention to all of her postings
strange
I think you should hang in there and wait for
People like her don't last long, the ones who appear to let their *title* go to their head(s). If I were you, and I am not you, I would hang in there for a bit longer and see. Take the best and leave the rest - good salary because of the benefits and just convince yourself that the witch will be gone someday and hopefully soon.
Best of luck whichever way you choose!!
Hang in there. I know exactly how you feel.
I'm in the same situation and I think my problem is just plain too many hours.
Sometimes I just can't focus or have too much else going on at the same time. I agree with the idea of planning a vacation, taking some time off. I can look forward to that for months and it keeps me going.
I can understand why you don't want to give up either job. They're both very good. I wouldn't either. I'm sure you'll return to better production in time. After all, you know you can do it.
I should have paid attention,,,,
I got approached about possibly doing the transcription for a local doctor office - 4 doctors. I have DSS player and they have used DSS system before, but how would I get the files from their computer to my computer. Could they load them into a folder and then winzip them and sent to me? Is there an easier way?
I know this was discussed before. I had no idea then I might get this opportunity, so I didnt pay much attention to the post.
ATTENTION TYPISTS!!!!
Back in the 1980s there was a doctor in California who used to start each dictation with the command, "ATTENTION TYPIST." He was a real peach. He had no friends in the transcription department, I can assure you. Later on, when I graduated from college and was an RN he had the gall to call up the nursing station and demand that one of us "girls" get over across the street to his office as one of the patients we had cared for in the hospital the previous week had gone over to his office for an "office visit" (that was because he was so pompous that he did not wish to see that poor patient in the hospital). The patient while in his office "defecated" on his carpet and he felt that was our "job" to clean up after incontinent patients even if they were in HIS office. I swear this is true. We told him he should call a cleaning service. He blew a gasket. I guess it could have been worse if we had the Chimpanzee guy. I think I would have knocked him in the head after I sued him for harassment. I saw down further where someone hoped he was a now a patient. Me too and I hope he is constipated and no one gives him a stool softener. I hope when he rides in the ambulance from the acute care to the rest home that he overhears the ambulance attendants refer to their call as a "lizard run." I hope someone puts cornflakes in his bed. I can't stand pomposity! I hope he is roommates with "Attention Typist" - they might actually understand each other.
A suggestion -Hang in There!
I was very interested in reading your post. I have been an MT for 35 years, working as an MT, MTSO, editor, trainer and finally QA person. I can tell by reading your post that you are going to be an outstanding MT, one of the future leaders of our profession. Do not stoop to the measure of "cheating" on your reports by bypassing research and diligence. Those alone will help you to pick up your speed. Once you start your own mental "spellchecker" you won't have to keep stopping and checking, but do so now so that you will produce the same high quality work without having to sacrifice time.
As far as getting experience and feedback, my suggestion to you, and indeed all new MTs, is that you need to work inhouse for a while. There you will be surrounded by supportive (usually) peers who do not mind stopping to help you out. You are usually paid an hourly rate so that your research is not "free" and you can feel more at ease about doing the kind of research you want. This give and take is usually only available inhouse. Do not just look at hospitals, check local clinics, doctor's offices, rehab facilities, any place where doctor's work. I think once you have some inhouse experience you will feel a lot more confident and will be capable of making the kind of money you need to succeed in this career. Also at that point, the question of your experience won't be a factor. To start out, I think all MTs need to have some inhouse experience with input and feedback from their peers, along with an hourly rate of pay so that you can go through the learning curve and not starve to death or drop out.
This is a very, very difficult job and all of us have our own horror stories of when we were newbies. It is perseverence and determination that will separate the wheat from the chaff. Just hang in there. You are in the hardest part right now, it can only go up from here. But with your excellent work ethic and diligence, you are bound for great things.
E-mail me if you need to talk to someone. I would be glad to talk.
Attention Administrator
When everything hit the boards a few days back, you (well, whoever is running the board these days) stated that if anyone had a problem and wanted to leave this board, send a message and write "unsubscribe" in the message line.
I did that and just did a test post to see if you unscribed my email address.
You haven't.
I think everyone here is watching your actions and I expect you to unscribe me. I am posting this in public as you failed to respond to a private email.
oh my goodness...I am so sorry. hang in there. sm
Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise.
Hugs all around.

Someone called it to my attention
that I should use the term offshoring instead of outsourcing. We use the word outsourcing at my hospital so this didn't even occur to me. So just wanted to address this:) thanks again!
People, please pay attention. This isn't just one person
that had a personalty conflict of whatever. Everyday there is someone else with a valid issue.
Hang tight and don't give up!
You should have read the first few mammograms I typed. Wish I would have saved them for a good laugh now! It does get better and then one day you will be typing it before the doc says it. You might also think one day how boring it is to type the same thing over and over. I went through that about the 7th year, kind of like a marriage, really! :)
no problems. you must learn to pay attention as you go along. once is enough.
btw, if it is a very difficult person to do i will listen twice in the course of transcription and then flag it for QA.
sounds like he needs attention and is afraid
Good for you. That's really all we can do is call their attention to it.
nm
I posted this to get the administrator's attention
Thank you.
Attention QA people - PLEASE READ :)
I'm fed up with the company I work for. Can any of you who are HAPPY with your QA job tell me what company you work for? I have been looking but it's hard to know which companies offer :1) Decent pay; 2) A relatively flexible schedule; and, very important 3) Appreciation! I would like to find a smaller company as I work for a very LARGE national company (can you guess who? lol) - I'm sick of feeling ignored and invisible and would like to work for a smaller to medium sized company that actually values its employees. Please, don't say you can't tell me who you work for - I really need some guidance here! Thanks.
Then you be out of your MT uniform, Better Hang the Pajamas
Hehehe
Awwww. She just loves you and wants some attention. sm
I have one cat in particular who always hits the keys. When I see her coming, I have to roll my keyboard drawer back under the desk or my transcription will look like this or get signed off prematurely. zzzz zzzz zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz zzz zzzx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
Forgetting to hang up - got me my job in college
I actually got my transcription job in college when the original Transcriptionist find out she was getting fired. The doctor didn't shut off the recorder and he and his partners started discussing putting an ad in the Sunday paper for her job. She quit - I walked in the next day (before the ad was ever placed) just going from office to office dropping off resumes and voila - MY LUCK ... well, not really. It was a horrible place to work and I ended up quitting after 3 months.
