I am interested in seeing responses to this question as well. I graduated in April and still haven't found a job yet. Still searching...

Wondering
I would be glad to talk with you. You may e-mail me at mtizfun@yahoo.com.
Just wondering...
...what exactly is going on with all this bickering here -- yours and few others comments are totally out of this "polite" world (so I thought). You are all stuck on yourselves and totally without any care about hurting other people's feeling!! Did you all hear about being nice to other people? Would you mind checking and double checking the purpose of this board?
I saw that, but I'm wondering if she SM
was saying it is 2 hours of dictation (120 minutes a day). That's a lot for a newbie (even for this "oldbie" at times). It does sound interesting, though.

Wondering about ELL TX, Inc.
Has anyone worked for or heard of ELL TX, Inc.?
Just Wondering --
What about old MT's who have not worked in years, but still have a good basic knowledge of the MT field? Do we count as newbies?
Even though we have tried to stay abreast of the terminology and have done some transcription (approx. 9-1/2 years doing general, legal and some medical), do we need to take a full-fledge course such as Career Step, Andrews or M-Tec?
Is there a MTSO out there that would be interested in mentoring someone in this situation if after completion of the mentorship would be interested in signing a contract to work for a stated period of time for that MTSO?
Thanks for any response.
Wondering
Thanks for your response. I will check M-Tec. I just do not feel that I need a full program considering I have done this type work before.
Wondering
Thanks for your response. I will e-mail you this evening.

Hello,
Have anyone heard of Proficient Transcription? There is a $99.00 fee. The fee is because of shared programs.
Wondering..
I had a discharge summary that I did yesterday and had to send it to QA because I had several blanks. I checked my feedback and saw that none of the blanks were filled on my end, so I pulled the report up and saw what corrections were made. There were still a few blanks and it looked like QA didn't go through it that well because there were things that were repeated where I had left blanks..like they filled the blank and had the same thing type right beside one another. My question is, since this was a report that I did that I had to let QA go over, should I say something about the report not being done correctly by QA or let it be?
Just wondering...
I just started working from home about a month ago. I am just wondering how you MTs that work at home usually go about your day? I have been getting up about 9 am (the account I am on is one hour behind me) and we have to request our reports (maybe that is how everyone does it?) Usually I get somewhere from 10-15 reports in the morning. They are all office notes, usually not lasting over 5 minutes in length. I try to sit and do them all and then maybe get up and have some breakfast, take about a 10 minutes break, and come back and request more. It usually takes me about two hours, sometimes longer, to do 15 reports, depending on the docs. The problem is, by 3pm, I feel like my brain is fried, and the worst part is I am maybe at 600 lines. Is this normal just starting off? It is midnight and I have been working since 9 am. Granted I stopped for about three hours this evening, but this is the first day I have made 900 lines. My boss keeps telling me to worry about quality and quantity will come, but I know that full time MTs are required to do a minimum of 1200 lines per day at our company, and I want to pull my own weight.
I am using a text expander, and I add to it daily. Am I not taking enough breaks, or am I taking to many? I thought I was doing real good coming out of school typing 90 wpm, but now I feel like I am very, very slow! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Anyways, any info or tricks of the trade that you know would be greatly appreciated!
I am wondering the same thing! nm
wondering transcriptionist sm
I would suggest that you steer yourself more towards the companies that accept "newbies" or transcriptionists who have less than 3 years experience. You must start somewhere to gain some experience and learn to decipher the doctors.. Not all docs are awful, usually just a handful. The more you do the work, and the more terminology you become familiar with, the easier it will be for your mind and ears to HEAR everything the doctors dictate. To begin with you may make less than what you're expecting, but the experience will be priceless in the end.
Just wondering why you are bothering with AAMT
They have no power to force a school to change its policies. They're just there to soak hardworking American MTs for huge membership fees so they can turn around and spend that money to support sending all our jobs to India and the Philippines.
In any event, M-Tec does have a tiered program for people with medical background. You might have better luck contacting the schools directly.
an MT should know the differnece between wandering and wondering...
:)
Wondering if anyone has any good references for
as you go along and create your own since you will know what they are. I didn't know if there was a 'general' list that was out there in the web world. LOL.
Thanks for your help.
I'm not wondering at all why you can't pass the test! Sheesh...nm
