The Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale has been running an ad for transcriptionists for almost three years now. NO LIE!

Mayo Clinic
They have run that ad in "Advance" for years. I had a friend who applied for it and they told her they were just "making up a list". I don't know if that has changed or not. Also, to work at home, you have to live in the Phoenix area-- no way for me! It used to be nice when I moved there in 1964 with large citrus groves, beautiful clean air, etc., but now with the traffic, high crime, illegal aliens, gangs, road rage, shootings every day, etc., it is just like living in LA. If that appeals to you, go for it, but not me! I have a horse and used to enjoy riding along the canals and cotton fields, etc. Now it is just wall to wall houses about 3 feet apart. I got out of there in 1997 and not a moment too soon!. They are trying to make the rest of Arizona just like it and ruining everything, unfortunately. It used to be a beautiful place, but not any more. Besides, all the Californians are moving here with their money and are pushing housing prices out of sight. 
Mayo Clinic
I know for a fact that all of the Mayo System clinics here in Minnesota run ads just to collect resumes. They will lie and tell you that the opening has been filled, but I have an insider who tells me what is really going on and you also see the ad continue to run. There are no job openings. Not nice.
Spheris/Mayo Clinic
Anyone with info on Spheris and/or Mayo Clinic Scottsdale? I've been an IC with MQ for 10 years and it's time for a change. Need to convert to employee status. Want to still work at home. Mayo may offer that after a while. Spheris is at home all the time. Anyone know cost for health insurance with Spheris for employee and spouse and child? Thanks for any info!
He is a Mayo Clinic doctor - he does a ton...

Why hasn't Mayo clinic signed on with a large
Like Spheris or Medquist??? What is so special about them?
Mayo Clinic in AZ has an ad for in-house MT in Advance Mag, $19/hr base pay. sm
Plus shift diff and bonus, plus $1000 sign-on bonus, and relocation $. What a great offer if it's true.
Search The Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Mayo Clinic or other big institutions for research. nm

Mayo in Scottsdale
They just make a list-- in case they ever have an opening. They have been running their ad for years.
how about using Kraft Fat-Free Mayo?
Not sure how it works with cooking, but I can't think why it wouldn't do just fine.
Health department here said straight mayo. SM
Slathered it on, put on a shower cap and left it for hours. Not only were the lice gone, but our hair was so soft and shiny and conditioned!
As a former supervisor of Mayo's Transcription Dept.
I can say that, yes, they continually run ads whether they are hiring or not. HR keeps resumes on file and refers to them as they need to fill a slot. Mayo is not the easiest place to work. Incoming MTs have to go through pretty rigorous training and you have to have 3 passing QAs before you can work out of the home. Many of the dictators are horrible due to their very thick accents or racing dictation methods. It's been a while since I've worked there, but when I did, I know that their word processing system was rather cumbersome and required a lot of mouse work and their Expander wasn't very good either.
clinic is not walk-in or ER notes; it is clinic
could be a small clinic with just famiy practice, internal medicine, maybe physical therapy, or it could be like mine, large, every speciality, cardio, nephro, neuro, ortho, endo, surgery, ENT, podiatry, ophtho, derm...
I've tried mayo cooking fish - DELISH (sm)
for cholesterol-watching husband, JUST DON'T TELL HIM - he'll never know
When I worked at Mayo the desks had the capability of raising up. The keyboard,
so you could stand and type. It was a refreshing change. I really liked the set up. Mayo paid a chunk of change for those desks and there were over 90 MTs in our office.
Don't forget to ask...
What types of accounts you will have and whether you will have backups if your primary runs out of work. Do they pay for spaces and use of expansions or normals? Are hours flexible if you need it? Is there any charge for equipment? software? Is tech support available all the time? How soon do the bennies such as health insurance kick in? How often do you get paid and when can you expect your first paycheck? Do they give pay raises, incentives or anything else that can increase your income? What kind of training will you get until you are comfortable with the accounts? Are there a lot of ESLs?
Whether they answer any questions honestly or not you will find out when you get started. Probably best to run the company name on MTStars and see what you get. Good luck! 
Will never forget

Yep, and don't forget 100% QA! LOL. Seriously, I

yes, that's what I always do, but don't forget
Frozen ham has a tendency to taste saltier, so when you use it, you probably won't need to add any salt.
and don't forget
Don't forget that before white out and all the other things, we had to use a razor blade to remove errors from ALL of the copies. I worked for a VA Hospital and everything had about 6 or 7 copies. Cut many a finger in those days, but learned how to be accurate really fast.
Forget about them and those like them and
live your life, period. I wish I could post a saying I got from Mother Theresa the other day but it does something like this:
People will hate you. Do good anyway. It was never about them, it's only about you and God. Something along those lines. And only half of these posts are nuts.
I'm sorry, but how can someone just forget...
Valentine's Day? That's like forgetting it's Christmas. It's all over the TV, in the stores, everywhere you go, there was something about Valentine's Day. I don't buy the "forgetting" thing at all...unless he lives under a rock or in a cave, he didn't forget...
Better to forget IC at 6 to 8 CPL
After you pay your taxes, it averages only 4 to 6 CPL. I would rather be an employee. Never will go IC again.
And let's not forget..............nm
Don't forget sm
you'll probably be typing headers and a bunch of junk. Not for me, but if you do it, make sure you'll get paid for it.
don't forget a
It really helps if you can have someone who is just in charge of the money. They could sit at a table and concentrate on just taking in the money. You can get really distracted when buyers want to ask you about merchandise. So much fun at the end of the day adding it all up and treating yourself to a yummy lunch!
just like me to forget something..
also must pay local tax and Soc Sec tax of 15%. Yuck!
yes, and don't forget

Oh and don't forget...
the one I came across that took it to the bathroom with him and it was still running!!! GROSS!!!!!!! 
Forget it. You do not need it.

don't forget to look at
overstock.com when purchasing! I've found a couple of books there cheap, and the shipping is usually cheap, too. They do have the CD version for $42 and change right now with $1.40 shipping.
Sometimes they forget
My friend is a speech pathologist. She told me that before she met me, she never used to think of the transcriptionist. She hated dictating, but she had to do it. So she used to dictate as fast as possible just to get it over with, not thinking that someone had to figure out what she was saying. But now she makes an effort to be understood and actually acknowledges MT and will say good day and thank you.
Don't forget.....
Work is not guaranteed, no pay for downtime (or rarely), must know all specialties, be around when work is there - not necessarily what you agreed to, work over or get no work, be availabe via phone, messagers and email, oh and be an Office and Word expert cause we aren't providing any help with that...Plus, lunch is at your desk...I bet starbucks even gives you a lunch break without whining about it.
Don't forget to consider your
chair height and whether your hands are too high compared to your elbows.
Don't forget
Things like benefits, paid holidays, vacation and sick pay. Those all add to your per line rate as an employee, and you should be compensated appropriately to offset these things as an IC.
Forget it
You won't get a vacation unless you can find another IC or two who can fill in for you. Also, you will need to schedule around your doctors' vacations - at this point in my life, I don't want to work around the clock anymore and I wouldn't do it, but if you're up for it, you go girl.
Should be FORGET actually, sorry! nm

Don't forget also that
the SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING !!! Run to your underground shelter ASAP !
Don't forget this cutie!
sexy
so true and don't forget
 my head hurts from the whinnnnnney voice and her total clueless-ness of what
an MT does.
Don't forget the so ever "critical" ....sm
omission of apostrophe's now. According to them it's no longer Alzheimer's disease but Alzheimer disease. Sounds stupid as crap and makes it look like we're a bunch of idiots to type things this way.
don't forget the shoe

WHAT? SO YOU WANT US TO FORGET YESTERDAY?

Don't forget Poophead...
Don't forget the tax deductions
Pleae keep all your receipts for hearing-aids/batteries, etc. and check with your tax preparer at year's end or before. I would think this would be deductible but worth asking about.
Forget about it. Some people only come here
to criticize others because they have nothing in their real lives to feel good about. If they have to go around telling us what we do "wrong" and how perfect they are, they have some serious self esteem issues there. Nice judgmental personality types, too.
There's a big difference between an occasional alcoholic beverage and a full-blown substance abuse problem. Unfortunately, public schools teach kids that their parents are "doing drugs" if we imbibe at all. DH and I like an occasional cold Corona with lime to wash down spicy food. Now, our kid thinks we're going to be arrested or die from "doing drugs".
Life isn't black or white, all or nothing, good or bad. There are a lot of gray areas out there. Some people on the boards need to learn that they aren't perfect enough to pass judgment on the rest of us. There's only ONE person who's fit to do that.
Okay, bye! Don't forget to take your meds on the way out!
The level of anger and frustration is actually quite sad.
Oh and before I forget, I am so glad I did not
listen to you all and panic and take him to the hospital. There was no reason for it as, come to find out, angioedema is NOT lifethreatening (very rarely is it) and only when there is difficulty breathing. Talk about a bunch of panic-ridden posters!! WOW!!!
set hours forget about it
not with kids
um because they forget to change the nm to
a simple forgetful error - no need to *vent* about it.....we all do the best we can..... 
I think I could forgive..but not forget.
If either him or I cheated, the trust is gone in the marriage. I think I would forgive him (not right away) as he is the father of my kids and I will always have a relationship with him whether married or not, but I I think at that point, the marriage would be over. That's what marriage is to me, loyalty to each other. I would say he feels the same way. I can forgive anyone, it's just my nature, but I don't forget.
