Ability to get job is what matters most
Yes,Andrews and M-Tec are more expensive than a CC, but if you want to work from home, the companies that are looking to hire you don't know if your CC program is adequate. Some are, some aren't, and there are lots of them around the country. The companies know that if you successfully completed Andrews or M-TEC, you are likely to succeed. There are so many posts on these boards from newbies who can't find jobs, yet M-TEC and Andrews grads get hired. I was hired fresh out of school by a large national, worked there 3 years, and was just hired by a smaller MTSO. Getting both jobs was a breeze. I have never had to test for a job. Both companies told me they hired me because I am an M-TEC grad, and they did not feel testing was necessary.
I work on Winscribe. There is the ability to
see which MTs are on Winscribe when you go into it. They also can see how many minutes it took to transcribe a report. They probably do averages. I do not know who you work for but I tend to follow the eight hour shift with two breaks and a lunch. It is easy for me since I came out of a hospital setting where I had to work that way.
I do have a recommendation. The Phillips comes with the ability

to download twice and I would make sure I set that up.  Download to the file that will be coming to you.  Then use the backup download to a file that is totally separate.  I call it backupvoicefiles.  I have found files in the backupvoicefiles that for some reason didn't come to me in the regular file. They would have been lost if I didn't know to check this. Phillips has no explanation for why this happens. I have been most happy with the Phillips equipment especially since I figured this part out. When the girls are looking for work that he claims that dictates and I have not transcribed, I know the approximate numbers to check and have them go into the backupvoicefile folder and check to see if it is there.


Good luck.  My doctors love the Phillips better than they did the Olympus and much fewer problems.


Must have been my ability to overlook. Now that it's pointed out,
I did scroll back down and see a bit. Guess I'll go back to overlooking them again, life's easier that way.
Right on, JMO. Also, when I have the ability to choose dictations SM
from a list (which I don't have at my current work, darn), I like to gather up all the dictations I can find for bad dictators and do them together to learn that dictator right up front, instead of struggling over months. I'll also use them to put together a template, which if dictation's really horrible will include a whole pack of phrases he/she has been known to use, a grab bag of possibilities to scan over. May sound like a bother to some, but it's a real serenity-saver.
He's trying to take away my ability to give myself raises
He doesn't want to pay me for my templates, my macros. He's taking AWAY money from me. He wants to change my "line count" to key strokes, so he doesn't have to pay me for a few paragraphs when it only takes me a few Keystrokes to put the macro in. It's like he thinks I'm cheating him! Isn't that industry standard?? Also I don't have the ability to "raise my production" what I get is what I do, every day I finish all the work.
The problem I'm having is what I make with them won't cover my living expenses any longer. That's why I asked for the raise. I mean I know as an IC i don't "ask". They said no, and guess what I have to stick around until I find something else. I won't find something better I'm sure, so I have to change careers. I'm having a very hard time dealing with this. Maybe cause I'm young and I don't feel like I know what I want to do. I wanted to be able to stay at home and raise a family, and now that dream is shot.
I'm just very upset you know, just ranting a little :)
I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,

please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed.  A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life.  My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals. 


What if you post messages under a different SN (AOL gives you ability to create several).
I remember posting a response. Received an e-mail began which began with "Hi" and my name. This was rather unsettling as you can imagine.
My 10 yo dog has lost ability to use hind legs

She was put under anesthesia to have a large mass removed from her chest.  What I thought might be a malignant lump turned out to be lipoma.  She had hip dysplasia all her life and was arthritic but never thought she would lose use of hind legs.  Surgery was today.  Picked her up at 5:00 and now, 4 hours later, I am truly concerned.  She is a weinaraner.  I am to give her 10 mg of prednisone daily.


Geesh, I wondered why the vet didn't bring the dog with her when she talked to me.  And when we discussed surgery, I mentioend that anesthesia was hard on senior dogs (it was hard on me and I am healthy adult). 


Just wondering here if she will recover.  Maybe smeone here knows something about this.  Thank you


What someone else is silly enough to pay you, has no bearing on your ability or character.

I think tier level should be based on the ability
to transcribe jobs assigned to the particular tier. My first job as an MT (I worked in house) required that I do all work types including OP reports. We, of course, did not have tier levels assigned; we were paid hourly. But, we were required to do all work types.
I think any transcription service can well assess an MTs ability
requires so many test files to be transcribed is taking advantage of applicants.
We have the ability to see each others # of reports and # of lines. We are to report to super
visor when one person has done 150 exams a day but only has a minimum of lines typed. In radiology, it tends to average out. They are watching it for morale's sake as well as they figure if the MT who jumps jobs is probably cheating elsewhere in the job or her/his life. Too many ethical ones these days to settle for a cherrypickers.
It depends on your skill level, your speed, your ability to do the

Ask them to give you the ability to choose your work from the queue SM
They may refuse; but assuming you do have to sign off (I don't remember any more), you can explain that it takes too long. All they can do is refuse. Another--big--benefit is that you can choose several jobs in a row for a dictator or specialty you're having trouble with and learn in a day what can take months to learn coming through in dribbles.
Mine isn't working either. Wonder if they've taken that ability away or archived stuff so we
s
When I worked on site, we would judge docs by ability to dictate ...
As it turned out, our assessments were usually correct as to who the best/worst doctors were by the way they dictated. It was not necessarily just that they pronounced words correctly. It had more to do with general sloppiness and lack of attention to detail.
God gave us the ability to judge for good reason. Then told us judge not, lest thou be judged. NM
