I worked so hard for so little money when I first started out. I wondered often if I had made a huge mistake becoming an MT. But you do gradually get the swing of it and learn how to "work smarter, not harder." For me, it really was more like a year or so before I was happy with the money I was making and the stress level. Try not to look at your hourly rate too often, and focus on the things that are getting easier for you and better. You may work long hours for a while, but look at the gradually increasing paycheck. It's a process. This too will pass!

I'm sure you will be fine. The fact that your work is looking so good that they're giving you more already is a GREAT sign that you have what it takes to succeed! I'm much more concerned about people who sacrifice quality for speed.  

Keep it up! You'll get there!

for example, SETT partners with Healthscribe. Because that would be where you would have the advantage to work.

"Healthscribe allows SETT graduates to sign up for the online testing immediately upon graduation instead of requiring the usual 2 years of medical transcription acute-care experience."

So if you are thinking you want to work at Healthscribe, choose SETT. If you are thinking you want Spheris, then choose the school that works with Spheris.  You may want to choose the company first, then go with the school that partners with the company.

has a screw loose. 

A friend of mine who was recently looking for a job had been talking to a lady from New England Transcription (not sure if this is the same company??) and had been given the total run around from them. 

First the lady said that they paid 9 cents a line to start, then when my friend got the contract (which she had to call the lady for 5 or 6 times), it said 5 cents a line.  Then she never heard from the lady who hired her until the day before she was supposed to begin the job.  Then, the day she was supposed to start, she was told there was no work, and she should call back in a few weeks. 

Needless to say, she didn't take this job, but it wasted about 3 weeks (from the time she accepted the position until they told her it was no longer available due to lack of work). 

If this is the same company, maybe ask for the contract up front and review it carefully.  Ask what the work load is like and all that good stuff.  Hopefully it's not the same place.

Just wanted to know if anybody has ever worked for Breitner Transcription and what they are like?

Thanks!

I think some companies but a time frame on when  you can test again if you do not do well the first time.  Good luck

The company I'm an IC with is located in CA but I live in TN. Since I've had a problem with my sleep for *years,* it was an ideal situation in terms of what accounts to put me on. I'm in charge of H&Ps on three specific accounts. They need the reports by 6 a.m. their time, which is 8 a.m. my time. No problem. It's rare for me to sleep until 4:45 a.m. Usually, I'll get up around 2:30 to 3 p.m. I just go back to sleep for a few hours when the morning rush is done. My work day ends by 4 p.m. my time, which is 2 p.m. their time.

I have just started with a large MT company and I barely hear from my supervisor.  I am very self-reliant, but had some basic questions for him.  He was offline the first day (he had never contacted me at that point) and when I finally caught him on the phone he said he would send me an e-mail with answers.  That was two days ago.

I was just curious if this was typical for the industry?
