Okay, first you posted
"was anyone else dumb enough to pay PCDI for MT training?"
I saw where someone named Nichole asked what H&P meant and someone else had already answered correctly. I posted in response to "was anyone else dumb enough to pay PCDI for MT training?" indicating that if PCDI did not tell you that much then you did get ripped off, and that I was not trying to be ugly to you. Again, just agreeing with you. You did not seem to understand my post when you replied with your question, screaming at me (all caps), "MEANING?"
I was admittedly ugly in my next post indicating that if you could not understand my post, as simply and clearly as I felt I had stated it, then maybe it was you and not PCDI.
There is a job posted right now
for orthopedics and pain management, but it's one of the few I've ever seen. But make note of the company's name for her just the same. (Job Seeker's Board).
Is this the same Nichole that posted a little further down?
If this is you, we talked yesterday. I am the one that emailed you with the links.
No it wasnt me. I posted below. nm

I posted a response to her too (sm)
Someone else responded to her original post and gave her constructive information regarding her grammar. She then turned around and told that person to kiss her you-know-what, etc. Then she kept complaining that people were offending her and wanted posts deleted. The administrator did so and also deleted her offensive post. What goes around comes around. The administrator admonished us not to treat her badly. When she used offensive language to the first response she was asking for it. Of course, that is just my opinion. Are we still allowed those? We spend so much time trying to send out perfect work that when we are posting on these boards it is easy to get lazy and not proof as well. It is just in our nature that these errors would jump out at someone else reading them. We do get paid for that, after all. Of course, there is no need to criticize each mistake made on this board although, as I stated previously, when you come here with an attitude you can be pretty sure that you will get it back x10.
Peace out....
It is clearly posted on their site but
There are 3 schools listed here and it shows their prices and their web addies and stuff like that.
Posted by DJ...about 8 posts down. nm
I posted my response to you above accidentally.

Be careful. M-Tec may not be very forthright with you about it. It has often been posted here
about newbies being shocked at how hard it is to get a job. You may email me for any further questions. I have been in the MT business for 25 years, worked for hospitals, doctor's offices and now have an MTSO. I am always happy to help newbies. One more thing I would do right now is archive everything on this board. That will give you a taste as to what you are up against.
I posted it AFTER she told another poster to (sm)
kiss her, well, you know. That has been removed now though.
I think I posted this same post 3 months ago....
and today I look up drugs every so often but still NOTHING like I use to!! It does get better trust me. I have been doing this for 3 months and loving it.
It gets better. *hugs*
Corrie, I'm the new grad that posted...
I'm the grad from Everett Community College (which utilizes CareerStep courseware) who posted about getting my IC position after 18 days of job hunting and only 4 applications. I'm sorry you found my news hard to believe, but it is a fact.
I posted my good news to encourage all new grads, no matter where they might have graduated from. Those who claim M-Tec and Andrews are the only schools that produce employable grads are WRONG!!! That is another reason I felt a strong need to post my news here on mtstars. When I was working through my MT classes, I found coming to mtstars was a real bummer. All I ever read here was negative posts, and checking out this forum became a waste of my time. I hardly ever see new grads posting that they got a job here. Why is that? Do they just forget to post when that happens? I can't figure that one out. I had to post when I got my first position! I THOUGHT it might encourage other new grads, and I certainly didn't mean to bring them down because they haven't found work yet.
I believe the road to getting that first MT job can indeed be long and bumpy. Actually, that is what I was planning on, and it is the case with most new grads. I think I have solid employable skills, AND I applied at the right place at the right time.
I know it has to feel redundant submitting all the applications and tests to only find out later that places are not hiring, don't hire new grads, or when you hear nothing back at all. My best advice is to keep playing the game. If your skills are solid and true, it's all about the timing! Every day that you test or apply, there is a chance at getting that first job!
Again, my post of how long it took me to get my job is true and only meant to encourage ALL new grads! M-Tec and Andrews are probably great schools, I don't doubt that for 1 minute, BUT they are not the only great schools!
Keep moving forward! I once heard it said "If you are still chasing your dreams, you are not running fast enough! Run faster!"
Corrie - Feel free to reply by email if you think I can help you in any way!
I've posted jobs and they have never been "scoped."

India is hardly ahead of us. I have posted this several times now.
MTs required to do the same amount of work. Do you call that being ahead of us? I don't think so. The only reason there are a lot more Indian MTs, or from other countries for that matter is because it's about a 3 to 1 ratio. Yes, there is a lot of dictation going overseas, but keep in mind that the quality coming back is very poor and requires American editors to clean up the mess, which equals jobs to Americans.
Sorry - posted in wrong place - disregard
.
Sorry, posted this on wrong board! Please ignore
All we have to go on is what you posted. You are losing work, going out of business, failiing
If you aren't doing well, the wisest thing is to change your situation. Get a better education perhaps. All we know about you is the fact that you have posted that this career is not working for you and some of your friends are also having problems.
above post is a bunch of crap, posted by school owner obviously.nm

Looking for that list!
I saw the list a couple or so weeks ago with all the list of companies that someone had compiled (brillinat), that will probably hire newbies. I can't find it! I am doing a paid externship at a local transcription company but I am not getting paid a lot. I need to find part time or full time work with another company. Help!
List
THANK YOU!!!
thanks for that list!
thanks for that list!
Of course you would not list your name as you know you are wrong. sm
If you are going to make such a bold statement that you see as truth why didnt you list your name? Of course you listed as anon. I am the MTSO for Proficient Transcription and have been in business for over 10 years. The start up cost associated covers the cost of the foot pedal which, by the way, is $79 alone. I dont think it is too much to ask for a MTSO to have a little bit of insurance when it comes to hiring a newbie. Why would anyone invest the money in the foot pedal for a newbie if this is their first position if the MTSO has no guarantee of their work? I am helping out and doing something not a lot of companies do and that is to give a newbie a chance. If that is perceived as a scam then so be it. My MTs receive work daily and are paid competitively for it. You have no idea what it is like to try and run a transcription business and unless you do then please keep your defaming comments to yourself. This kind of banter is what scares away MTSOs from hiring anyone without experience. I was given a great chance to get into this business without dropping thousands of dollars into schooling and all I was doing was trying to help someone else do the same. This girl was talking about purchasing hundreds of dollars in books and paying the same for schooling and I was offering on the job training but I cant afford to do that at my own expense of all the equipment. I dont understand what is so hard to understand about that.
Not a list of MTSOs
just a list of transcriptionists. You can add yourself to the list at no charge. Just fill out the form.
List of books
Language of Medicine (Barnes and Noble or AAMT.org). It goes through every body system and all kinds of tests and abbreviations, etc.
I also bought used college text books on anatomy, labs, etc for dirt cheap which helped me as a newbie.
Also, another tip, find some seasoned MTs you can communicate with on messenger. I am experienced but having a few people to get opinions with always helps.
I am mgtranscription on yahoo if interested. Where did you go to school?
For a list of companies ...
Check out -- http://www.transcriptionresource.com/companies.htm.
If you received your training from certain places, some employers will waive the experience requirement. Check with your school for assistance with job placement too. GOOD LUCK!
Thanks DJ! That is a great list! nm
love that dmz list
That site is where I found my first job. I recieved 13 responses from that list and I had ZERO experience. I have been working now for one month. :)
List of companies
Here is the link to a list of companies. http://forum.mtstars.com/medical_transcription/v/3/7497.html

Good luck!
Good Anatomy list
Do you want to find anatomy list? Look at Mosby's handbook of anatomy physiology. The book is very good. If you need the book, I can sell mine $10.00. I have other good books too from my previous course. I give up transcription career.
Scratch CAI and Meditec off of the list. sm
You need to go with proven schools. If you short yourself, you will eventually end up forking out more money to get the right education.
This is a huge list of MTSOs.
This list is huge. A lot of these seem to be small businesses. I only looked at one state, but the list was long. Not many have websites, but some of these businesses are still doing tapes and offering a wide range of services. You will therefore want to look mainly in your own State.
If they can only receive resumes by mail or fax they are not getting swamped with them, so you might have a better chance. . Happy hunting!

List of transcription companies and their URL's ?
A while back I remember someone posting a site that listed a bunch of transcription companies and their URL's. The list was really, really long and categorized by states....anyone remember or have that URL ? 
Thanks in advance!
Except it's not a huge list of MTSO's. It's...
a site where you can post your own business if you want. Most of the postings are solitary MT's, just like you and me.
Try making a handwritten list as you have to look up
the drug names. I have a lot of experience, but I also get stuck on drug names sometimes. That is my weakest point as well even though I hate to admit it, but one thing that helped me is to handwrite on a piece of paper that sits next to you all of the new drug names and their correct form (whether to cap or not), and then for some odd reason (it worked for me) when I'm transcribing I'll think to myself, oh wait, I know that one is on my list. Googling is good too, but you have to watch the sites as not all are consistent or may not be correct. Googling can pull up all forms of that word being used, so just be careful there. You'll get there, and happy MT'ing... 
...now. Might want to apply and get name on a future list

How do you make such an expander list?
I just bought ShortHand and have a few words/phrases in it. I have no system as for deciding what to put in it. How do you decided what to do? I really need to improve my line count. Any info appreciated.
I tried to google Missy's list
and got nowhere. Maybe the site is down now. I found out about it from Meditec (clicked on references/resources then job links). I just tried that now and it took me to a page of just advertisements. So, I guess it is down now. What they did was charge a fee for access to their list of MT companies and private forum. They'd usually say a little bit about the MT companies such as how much experience they required before testing, if they allowed newbies, etc. All of that info you could get elsewhere on you own, but it was kind of helpful having a lot of it in front of you when job hunging. Basically that was it.
It sounds like the site you are talking about is a good idea. Maybe it would be something we all can use. If you move forward with it, let us know.
God Bless.
Check with your school for a list
that hire their graduates. Most courses have can provide you with post-graduation support for a period of time or at least give you some leads on where to start.
I printed a list of mine and I study over them and
For quick reference.
AHDI (AAMT) approved list

Got to transcriptiongear.com and then click on Transcribe Equipment. The C-phone is down the list a

Upon graduation, I received a lengthy list of companies (see message)
that were willing to test grads of M-Tec without experience.
I now have my own MTSO. I require experience of everyone except Andrews and M-TEC grads. In my experience, they have performed wonderfully, even without experience.
Scroll down just a little & you'll see "This is a huge list of MTSO's"
posted by Misha. I think this is what you're talking about.
Meditec supposed to be good but has a waiting list. The SOAP program
