I've seen talk on there of several companies that hire new grads.
I actually got hired at MQ right out of school - but it was a much different company then. I worked there for 3-1/2 years and bailed when the first signs of sinking occured. 
I honestly only have experience with them and the company I'm currently at - and I don't think my current one hires new grads. Check out the company board though and I'm sure you'll find a company that will make you much happier than MQ could.
Check the company board. These same
questions have been asked multiple times the past couple of weeks. I didn't see anything good about them.
Ask on the company board. You're likely to get
more response there.

Probably range of motion.
Usually straight leg raise is performed to assess range of motion. Not sure if this helps...

What is the range of income for MTs?
Hi there, I am a student at the moment, taking an advanced medical transcription course. I plan to work from my home either for online transcription companies or contract myself out from home for doctors. I am just wondering if anyone can tell me the income range and potential for this line of work. I know you either get paid by the line or by the word but how much per line or word, starting at and approximate maximum wage.
There are quite a few and range in price - sm,
Stedman's Smartype, Instant Text, Shorthand, and one or two others I think. I have used ShortHand and Smartype. I prefer the Smartype as it comes loaded with medical terms, etc., the Shorthand doesn't from what I remember. They run $90-$200 depending on which one you buy. I believe you can get free trials, so that would be the way to try them out and see which one you like the best. I have heard that IT is harder to learn and get used to, but as I have not tried it I really don't know. They really do help though, I know I am at least 30-40% faster because of my word expander.
If you'll check the company board you'll find
they have been talked about several times recently. They are an Indian company and no one has had anything good to say about them.
average MT can type 200 LPH...but...nm
With these new online programs, post DOS programs where we really cleaned up, that has dropped for some to between 130-175 LPH....A great MT should be able (pre online programs I do believe, my opinion only) to type nearly 2000 lines in an 8-hour period or 10-hour period. If I could do that on DOS programs, anyone could, and privately I still work on a faithful DOS program and for 10 years.
Decades of typing pre MT work helped and then 25 years of doing MT work is what makes some of us pros. 
average rate
what is the average rate per line or cpl? I am just finishing school and getting ready to start out.
What is the average rate for VR?
nm
No real average. Too many factors.
Font type and size, margins, headers and footers can all affect how many lines fit on a page. How many lines I get per page for my account may differ drastically than what someone else is getting due to different formatting.
You can't give an average. Radiology reports
are typically under 10 lines and you can do 100 a day. I do Op notes for a hospital and can have reports that are 25 minutes long. I also have a lot of ESLs and if I have a day where I have the really bad ones or the bad American dictators I don't generate as many reports. If you are doing clinic work you would probably be able to do more reports than acute care, especially if you have the same doctors, because they you could set up macros for them. I generally do 40 reports a day, have done as few as 28, as many as 72, but that doesn't really tell anyone anything.
Average is 1/2 the line rate for straight transcription.
Companies say that you should be able to edit twice as fast as you can transcribe, but most VR editors I have talked to say that is rarely the case. So the 1/2 line rate hardly seems fair.
Maybe do a word count in some of your documents and get an average per day or week. Total for new

Can you contact me?
Please contact me at

You know how does anyone contact
anyone else if you can't put your e-mail address on. Sometimes people like to contact someone to discuss an issue and not on the board. Can you tell me why you say this?
Contact Your School
Contact your school-they will know which companies hire their graduates and what their graduates are suited for. Students of some schools know that the 2-year requirement is waived for testing simply because of their education. Good luck to you-the jobs are there if you are persistent!
Why not contact them and find out?
.
Means don't wait around for us to contact you. nm

Contact your school for help first. See message
If your school can't help, you may have a problem. If their graduates usually get jobs, they will be glad to tell you where. They will be proud to tell you which employers like to hire their graduates. If they don't have any information to give, that means the results have been poor.
Contact your school right away for assistance.
The holiday season is always slow for hiring. Companies avoid bringing in new employees during prime vacation time.
If you have been taking tests and have not heard back, chances are good that you are not doing well enough on them to entice an employer into hiring you. They will be looking for about a 98% on their test.
MTSOs do not hire based on your GPA from school. They hire based on their employment test. They might decide NOT to hire you based on your overall presentation on paper, in an interview, on the phone, etc., but they decide TO hire primarily on the basis of the test.
If you are having problems getting hired, you need to discuss it with your school immediately . . . before you wear out your welcome with every available employer. Do not wait any longer on this. Get their advice and assistance right now!
