My brain wasn't comprehending what you were asking. I don't think we can post links here, so I will email you.

They responded back to me...
10 hours (600 minutes) of transcription is all they do in "training." Gees - that's absolutely nothing!
Responded by email
I responded by email now to both of you. Hopefully, I will hear from both of you tomorrow. Thanks!
I took a "fly-by-night" course and am seeing the repercussions now.
Although I was fortunate to get a job after only 2 weeks of graduating, I can see where I am lacking in certain areas and have looking into going to M-Tec. I wished I had researched the training on this profession beforehand, but you live and learn.
I also did about 20 reports. Nothing on pharmacology. I love my job and am totally willing to buck up and get the proper training that I should have gotten in the first place. I know it will pay off in the end.
From the sounds of it, things are exceptional with your course, either. I would seriously consider looking into a different program.
A fellow MT told me that she typed somewhere around 4,000 reports while in school. I typed apx. 20. Who would you hire?
Good luck!
Last night on Lifetime was an online....sm
Last night on the Lifetime Channel was a 2006 movie called Fatal Desire with Anne Heche and Eric Roberts and it was just about this, meeting online......it was a good movie...just repetitive to me about how these bad things do happen online and the ending was AWFULLY shallow and dumb, but the movie, in general, was a true story about this woman named Tanya Sullivan who ended up with a life sentence in jail......
Night Hours for New Grads?
Hi,
Are new graduates from MT programs like M-Tec or CS offered night hours, any evening p/t or f/t jobs?
Thanks
Sorry so late
Radiology is a completely different rhythm from the big four report types because so many of the reports are short and repetitive. Very few radiologists have accents, it's true. Radiologist tend to be better dictators overall. I think it is because it is guaranteed that each report will actually be read, and if it's not right, phone calls will be made. Many radiologists use a lot of normals. That's great IF your software is quick. You should be able to make normals and have stop codes to allow you to hop from spot to spot. You also need your computer to close out and open reports quickly. You should not have to type in a lot of demographics. But each day varies a lot because some of them dictate three times as much as another guy. So one day you might finish in 7 hours, and another might take you 10. Quick TATs are essential or there will be many time-wasting phone calls. Excellent report quality is essential. If the MDs have to do much editing, they may as well use VR. There is a lot of detail checking with the people and software I work with. Our software currently can't separate my production from the other MTs,' but we spend a lot of time on detail-checking and fixing demographics/order/referrer address errors.
too late
Now I'm in it for the long run. It's too late to get my fees back so I might as well continue. I'd lose half of my tuition if I pulled out now which doesn't seem worthwhile. The school offers placement assistance with about a 90% (yes I know that is low) employment rate out of school. But I've heard reasonably good things about the Career Step program so I guess I might as well continue. Thanks though for the suggestion.
Sarah...if youve logged off for the night, please (sm)
email me so I can get your sound live.
A Few Days Late?
My Discover Card was billed for the first payment on August 10th. I finally received a dictionary on September 8th - nothing else - no study aids - just a dictionary. I authorized the charges for the foot-pedal and CDs on August 17th. I still have not received them. So after 10 emails and several phone calls, and the 4th week since I paid for the second part of the materials, "a few days" is not an accurate depiction of their shipping practice. As for Carol, she writes short, precursory responses to questions - I'm not quite sure why you're singing her praises over that. I've gotten too many responses from students who have had my experience - not yours. Several said that they never even received the certificate after completing the course. So, good for you - but don't criticize others for telling the truth about their experiences. Last time I looked, there was free speech in this country. The VLC erases grades when someone speaks out.
Seems a bit late to ask if you've already
plunked your money down. And it sounds like you will only accept the answer you are looking for, so good luck.
SOAP Transcription might take you on as a late shift

Linked the website. They've never responded the few times I've tried. nm
