In Reply to: Disappointed Newbie - Lisa
I think part of the rub from your post, Lisa, is that you seem to think that you seem very self-centered. Honey, unless you have a disabled child that requires you to be in that house 24/7, you do NOT HAVE to work from home. You just want to really bad. Nothing wrong with that!
However, just because we don't tell you what you want to hear does not mean we are being rude. You just simply don't want to hear the truth.
You even said in one of your own replies that you have decided that your children's welfare was more important than hitting the TAT expectations. Great! You've made your decision! At this time in your life, this is probably not for you.
You can have it all, just not all the same time dear. Concentrate on getting your babies into school, then sit down and concentrate on your career while they are safely looked after in school and learning.
I don't see any reply to your thread as rude in the least. Even the newbies who are encouraging you will probably come back shortly to say they have had it with this profession because they cannot make what they want. Most do.
You've taken the really tough road by starting out at home. Learning inhouse is far better, easier on you, and easier on your family, actually.
While they see you typing at the computer all the time right in front of their little faces, they believe that computer is more important than they are. Wait until they are out of the house with school and then work. This way, when they are at their safe, loving home they feel their mommy is really there for them, not the computer.
Trust me, even later as teenagers, they will constantly complain that all you do is work, all you do is sit in front of the computer. You have tough enough times ahead! Don't rush it!
Good luck, dear.

Do not give up Lisa.
Hang in there. Do not give up because some people are just jeolous and do not want to face their insecurities and would rather tear other people down to gain some self-assurance. There is more to life than that. Take care and God Bless in whatever you decide.
Hang in there Lisa!
Hang in there! Something will come your way that is the right fit. Our oldest son was killed in an accident and his two young babies came to live with us for a year. That is the same time I finished my MT education. I was hired before I finished school. I have worked from home from the beginning. I set my own hours, accept work or turn it down; however, I always meet my 24-hour TAT. There is the right "fit" for everyone out there. Don't get discouraged! 
Lisa do not get discouraged!
Only you can make it happen. I would suggest you look at the job seeker's board here on this site. There is actually a job posted there today that is looking for "newbies". Everyone was new once. I did not attend a course per se. I learned anatomy and transcription in high school. I have many years of experience and am still learning every day. Please, do not let negative posters here misinform or discourage you from your endeavors. Do not fear the fact that you did not graduate from one of these so-called 3 great schools. Your work ethic will say it all, and yes even after 20 years, I still use a spellcheck and still leave blanks. It is inevitable, and you learn each and every day. Keep your chin up, and I am actually liking your attitude towards these negative people. Stand up for yourself as no one else will. There was another company called CLK Transcription that had posted a while back on the job seeker's board that wanted to mentor. This may be an avenue for you to stroll. You may not make the big money (none of us do on-line), but you will gain experience, hence, making it easier to find even your own accounts on-line. Kudos for taking life by the horns and riding it out. This is a great profession and much to be said for a job well done!!!! 
Lisa, I don't mean to discourage you (sm)
but there are really only 2 factors to consider here:
1) your 6 children, and 2) the funds for MT school.
Personally, I think the fees for the so-deemed "best 3" are
exorbitant. I don't know the ages of your children, so the only comment, or advice, I can offer you is....by the time you get through school and get the number of years of experience to even get close to swimming above water, well....I think you get my point. When I tell people I work for pennies they think I'm kidding. LOL>some things never change. Unfortunately, this line of work is one of them.
Anyone else wish to chime in and help Lisa out please???
Lisa/Tech Skills
Lisa,
Did you attend that in AZ? I almost did that but decided to go another way.
Lisa, I understand your frustration, but I do have to agree with (sm)
Amanda that this must be looked at as a profession and simply not a convenient way to work while staying home with the children. I don't necessarily think you feel that way, but your post does come across as someone who wants their cake and eat it, too! It is very difficult to become an accomplished MT without the benefit of on-site experience, but it most certainly can be done. However, there are dues to pay when it comes to gaining your experience in a home setting and one of them is to be able to gain that experience at someone else's convenience.
Now, I am not saying that you have to be at available at someone's beck and call, but you do have to realize the time, effort and expense it costs the person mentoring you and appreciate the knowledge and insight so freely given to you. Many companies will not even give that chance anymore, so I would take it as a gift rather than an obstacle.
I have raised 2 children by the grace of working at home and without the benefit of a spouse, as I became widowed at a very young age, but that took a lot of determination, scheduling and humility to do so. It is not impossible and my long days and exasberating nights paid off in the end, but only because I was willing to work at it. I can say quite proudly that I have wonderful, well-adjusted children who have reaped the benefits of having their mother with them and have also learned the respect of a hard day's work.
Of course, you can always obtain your own clients and set your own hours, but you will not gain the knowledge that is required to become a proficient MT, as there really is no one to guide you in what you just don't know. However, if all you are after is a paycheck at the end of week without a true respect for this field, that might be the alternative.
I know it is hard - it is very hard, but if you truly want it you will to the lenghs to achieve it with an open mind and the willingness to reach your goals.
I wish you the best!!
Amanda, you know what? I sat here all weekend thinking about offering Lisa an IC position (sm)
that might be able to help her out, as I work in 12-hour TATs, but the more I saw the posts left from her, the more I chose not to get involved. I come to this board for the specific reason of offering help, as I feel anyone who truly needs a break should be given the opportunity. However, Lisa has made it blatantly clear that the only opportunity she wants is on HER terms and I actually feel slighted that I was willing to take a chance with someone who comes across the way she has.
Also, I am offended by the fact that Lisa states her first job is "Mom," as if mine is not. Yes, I do WORK as an MT and I work hard at it, but I also am there for every single aspect of my children's lives, including class mother, PTA chairperson, basketball, softball, baseball, dance, etc. I work hard daily for the balance (without the benefit of my wonderful husband) and I MAKE it work for all of us and for that I am rewarded and blessed. How dare someone even critique my abilities, especially as a mother.
What's your thoughts on this?
I declined a job because of the travel time was too long. There were several jobs available and they sent me another e-mail that one of the positions is filled. They also recommended that I should apply at some of there sister companies. Are they trying to get me to work for their company? Is it becasue I am a customer of theirs? I'm not sure what ot make of this. I need advice.
My thoughts...
Hi guys. I just read through all of your posts, and I have to admit, I agree with concerned2bmt. What a lot of people seem to be forgetting, is yes, you save money on gas, daycare, clothes, makeup, and food. There is no commute, so that means that you just get to roll out of bed if you want, and work in your p.j.'s. You don't have those expenses, and that is great.
The only problem is, when you work from home, you pick up expenses that you wouldn't normanlly have working for someone else. I have just started a job, and I am an IC. No benefits, and I adverage between 8 - 10 $ an hour. I can make more as soon as I can manage to make my Expander apply to what I am doing. However, Just in a matter of months, I have already incurred expenses and difficulties that I wouldn't in the office. The real problem is, these expenses adverage out to be more for me to work from home than if I were working for someone, and paying for gas.
Look at it this way. If you work for a hospital, you usually start at about 12 bucks an hour, plus benefits. Now, figure that you will spend on adverage, 60$ for gas, 40$ for food, 20$ for clothes, per week. Okay, for a 40 hr. week, you gross 480$ - expenses, brings you to about 360 per week. Right?
Well, I make about 40$ per audio, and I can do about 3 a day. that means, I make about 600$ per week, 2400$ per month. That's only on a good and I do mean really good week.
My drama at the office, has turned into my kids screaming, crying, fighting, and getting hurt. My husband, not understanding that I am working, wanting me to talk to him, watch t.v. with him, cook, clean, or wash clothes, find something for him, or run to the store for him. This in itself, slows me down terribly to the point that if I want to maintain that 600 a week, I have to work some after everyone has gone to sleep. Then, I pay about 90 bucks a month for internet connection. Now, that doesn't count the money that I have already spent for school to learn this trade, the filing cabinet that I had to buy to keep everything locked up, the accountant that I have to keep on retainer so that I know how to pay in my taxes, the paper that I have to buy to print out invoices, the stamps for sending the invoices, the long distance calls I have to make, the ink for the printer, the file folders, and most importantly, the 1300 dollars worth of reference materials that have to be updated every year, the 1200 dollar computer that has to be upgraded every two years, the 800 dollars worth of programs on the computer that will be obselete oh, I'd say about next week.
See, so far, I'm adding up a lot more than I would have to if I was working for someone else. I can't afford health insurance for me and my family. that would run me about 1800 a month because my husband is dying and no one wants to touch him for less than that, then you have extra electricity, extra water, and unless you don't eat at home, you still have a food bill, drinks, foot pedals, head phones, key boards, and all of this is stuff you wouldn't have to buy if you worked for a hospital.
Concerned2BMT is right. We work for too little, and we just sing along about how great it is. Yes, I am glad to have this job. Any money is good money. However, when you stop and really look at it, our money doesn't adverage out. Until we all stop taking it, they will keep dishing it out. Problem is, the only reason most of us take it, is because they will just threaten to give our jobs out to someone overseas. Why is it that I have to have 2 years experience on top of my education, to go to work, yet some Indian who has my job, and most everyone elses, only got my job because the company built an office in India, and they retained that job after about 3 months in training.
Which brings me to another point. Has anyone stopped to think about the extra expense of a lawsuit? And that does happen. Could you imagine how much that would set one of us back. We have got to get together on this people. I din't think I would become a millionaire overnight, but I would like to be compensated. Just because I don't have 2 years experience, doesn't mean that I don't know what I'm doing, and therefore, I'm not worth but 3 cpl.
I hope this gives everyone a new perspective. I would love for us to unionize. I think it would be great. I have never settled, until now. I have a high school diploma, and not 1, not 2, but 3 college degrees. All of which I needed for this job. My expenses for that alone have run me into over 60,000. I believe I should be faily compensated, but until we demand it, and do something about it, it will not happen. We are just as important as the doctors, the nurses, the people who build the hospitals, the people who provide electricity to the hospitals, and to our patients, we are the difference between life and death. One right or wrong word from us can determine if they will see tomorrow.
In a sense, we are the most important element. Without us, the doctors wouldn't know what has been done for the patient, what the patient needs or does not need, therefore, eliminating the need for, the hospital, the nurses, the electricity, and ultimately, eliminating the patients.
I've heard about everyone's fear of voice recognition. I can't even get through at bellsouth, their systems can't tell the difference between yes and no, so do you think a computer can tell the difference between too, to, or two, which can make a lot of difference in our field?
Do not settle any more people. We are IMPORTANT!!! Our patients depend on us, sometimes more than their caregivers.
thoughts
I have not been on this board for along time because I used to get so discouraged with the negativity, but your post was absolutely so true and uplifting!!!
I totally agree with you and I am actually working for a company that is paying me 3 cpl for editing and 4 cpl for transcribing. I am a newbie and only just graduated last Aug. of 2007. There is never any quiet or alone time to work and it gets harder and harder. I also do all my work late at night after everyone has gone to bed. Otherwise there are just to many interruptions! I feel like I work and and work and research and I am putting so many hours in and my paychecks are just absolutely minimal! I know that starting out is hard and it takes time to make money but my last paycheck was laughable! I am probably not the fastest because I spend a lot of time doing research but I feel like I am putting in so many hours and I drag myself to bed sometimes at 3 and 4 in the morning thinking that I really put in a long night and then when I find out how much I actually made, I could cry! But thank you so much for your words of wisdom, (and they really were!)I am not sure what the answer is but I agree that something should be done!! Thanks again.
my thoughts
If they dont actually ask if you graduated I would not offer it up. If you pass the test, you know enough in their eyes. If they ask you, I would explain you have not recieved you diploma. That is just my opinion.
My thoughts *sm*
 What matters more than the school you attend is whether you are willing to take responsibility for your own education. You have to be willing to be dedicated, work hard, and be extremely resourceful, especially if you attend a subpar MT program.
No matter what, your success is on your own shoulders, not the schools.
Some Thoughts
1. Training (are the both relatively close in what they teach)
I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this. Most guess that the answer is "no." Of the three schools in question, two are close in what they teach. It is clearly stated on their websites and it is known to prepare students to get a job and keep it. Two of them use respected textbooks and have industry-respected instructors to facilitate and guide students.
2. Certificate vs. diploma
This is not important. They are the same thing. They just reflect the fact that you finished the course successfully. What does matter is that you do not think it is a certification as an MT. A certification can only be granted by AHDI after you successfully pass their exam.
3. 4 months for one program vs. 9-12 for another.
How many students actually do it in 4 months? Or 9? Will you have to pay extra if you need more time? Check the fine print--a extra payment every couple of months? Or does the school just seem to take longer because they're realistic about how long it will take? Maybe they recognize that people are different and are willing to work with you as long as it takes at no extra charge.
Some schools have a policy of cheap-appearing tuition, no instructors, and making students struggle on their own. It's the student's fault if they can't do it in break-neck speed. If the student passes the only exam in the course, the final, they pass.
Other schools have a policy of realistic tuition, full instructor support, and of leaving nobody to struggle on their own. The school feels responsible for student success. They work with students who need additional help and material. There are exams constantly, so the student is well-prepared to take employer tests and there is no surprise "sorry, you didn't pass" at the end.
You actually do get what you pay for.
Some thoughts...
After I graduated from M-TEC, a couple of acquaintances found out that I did medical transcription and wondered if I would be interested in general transcription they needed. I was not. After all the medical knowledge I had accumulated, I did not want to waste my time just typing stuff. I really don't think of my skill set as typing at all. My skill is being able to hear medical dictation that is garbled, accented, and/or full of medical language and equipment that the average person would have never heard of and turn that into something that is medically accurate. It is knowing when I should flag something because it just does not seem quite right, so the doctor can check it. It is making educated, informed decisions every day. I have invested considerable time and effort in learning how to do this well, so there may be other transcription jobs out there, but I am just not interested.
My thoughts on your options....
I think it is great that you have TWO options available!
As for physical therapy - that option is quite limited. Transcribing PT notes would not give you much exposure to medical terminology, etc.
As for neurosurgery - that would be an interesting option to go for! More diversity than PT notes. But still, limited exposure.
So, you would have to decide if you want to make more money (doing PT) but limit your experience, or make less money and gain a more broad base of experience.
Still, I think the best experience would be a hospital. There you would get all work types, different dictators, and certainly the experience that would make you marketable to move up in the profession.
But you may find that you love PT or you love neurosurgery and want to do that only until you retire.
That is my opinion, for what it is worth!
Whatever you chose, I wish you the best.
Thoughts on MT profession???
I've been researching for several weeks and am seriously considering enrolling in Andrews school, but wanted to get some opinions of where you think the MT profession is headed. Do you think MT's will be phased out in the next few years? Where is this profession headed with VR/ASR now starting to take place? I know the starting pay is low and I am not entering this profession with the intent to support my family. I would just like some opinions from some experienced MT's and what you think will be the future of the MT profession.
My humble thoughts on this subject
It is very difficult being a newbie to the industry and working your first job remotely. I am still considered a newbie having been in the field less then a year. I originally began working for a national, but found that to be stressful. Not only was the pay low, but you never found out about your errors until days later (by then I had repeated the same mistakes several times over). However, my biggest obstacle was the difficult dictators and the lack of availability for someone to immediately “lend an ear”. I now work as an IC but still find that I am faced with the same challenges, the only advantage is that I have a better TAT to enable me to research and produce better reports. Pay is still low, the work still frustrating, the learning curve exasperating, and my nails are almost nonexistent. If I had the opportunity to work in an office environment with experienced MTs around me I would (those jobs are hard to come by in my area).
Why do I continue this line of work? I enjoy it. I love to learn. I love the medical terminology. I enjoy, to some degree, working from home. Would I have chosen this field knowing what I know now? Probably not, I think I would have used the thousands of dollars spent toward a nursing degree and be assured of job security.
Good luck to you.
I wondered the same thing, actually...sm for thoughts
I guess I am suspicious by nature, because when I started looking into schools, I kind of figured there would be one or two negative posts about even the best!
However, I think that Andrews and MTEC are structured so that there are very, very few disapointed students. First they screen applicants--very important to make sure that students have the aptitude for this field. During the course, students have a lot of contact with instructors--support system is great. Then they have minimum graduation requirements that insure you will be ready for a job. Finally, they help with job placement. All of these things pretty much garuntee that complaints are pretty much nil. They are upfront about what they expect from students, so no surprises there either.
And read on...
Hello there but you have graduated from the wrong course to "pay" for your intelligence/ability/everyday expenses...transcription does not "pay" it is all being sent over sea...and to be precise, "India" as India has a great college program for such and are willing to work fro 1/4 us American workers with a much higher cost of living,so I say who do we Americans look down upon...ahhhhh....would seem thouest government.
Please read
It is fantastic that the student graduated with honors from the MT course.
However, trust me, that does not equip them to receive pay that experienced MTs get for acute care work.
The mere mentioning of it tells me that you have not a clue of what you are in for or where you stand.
The honors MT grad should lower their expectations just a bit. :)
Please read
I think you need to understand that this industry is evolving very quickly and your skills will probably not have much time to develop to stay in the game. Only the most skilled MTs will have a chance at true transcription; it is being sold out to editing for voice recognition and offshoring.
It will take you years to get your experience, even after an MT educational program, to make this a profitable career for yourself. You will more than likely start out making minimum wage (at best) for the first year or two. If you can mentally survive the extreme challenge of working from home while learning MT work, you have a chance.
I would seriously advise against it. Especially with you not knowing anymore than you seem to and stating it seems interesting. One would have to have a true love and passion for this work to start it and survive it in this day and age.
Please, any new MTs, please read
I want to give you a piece of very pertinent advice. It comes with all the care and compassion I could possibly have in my being:
Please do not focus solely on medical terminology in your studies. Poor command of English grammar and punctuation is as devastating as poor medical terminology.
I cannot count the times that I have not been able to hire someone who has fared well in medical terminology but lost out due to English grammar and punctuation errors.
Please know the differences in past, present and future tenses. Please learn the appropriate uses of commas, semi-colons and colons. Please learn the difference between plural and possessive. Learn how to use articles appropriately.
You will do yourself a world of good professionally by nurturing your English grammar and punctuation skills as much as your medical terminology, etc.
The reason I am telling you this and not the experienced MTs is because I have had to argue them into a corner because they simply do not believe they are capable of making mistakes. Please never, ever feel that way. Every single one of us do. We always will. However, a mistake is one thing; complete lack of skills is another.
Do not allow yourself to be closed in the mind or heart to improvement. Some editors do not have good rapport, I know, but that is their shortcoming, not yours. Just glean what you can and keep your spirit strong.
Thank you and I truly wish the best for all of you!
You can read all about both
coding and transcription careers at the Andrews site because they teach both. Coding usually pays better, but most jobs are at a hospital or office. I would only recommend transcription to someone whose talent is strictly on the English language side. Coding still uses the terminology, but it's more of a treasure hunt to recover as much codable information and help the hospital (or MD) collect all it (or he/she) is due.
Read Read Read
I suggest you start here and read as many posts as your eyes can handle. Do a Google search for MT forums, go to them and read some more. I guarantee you will find more information in this forum and the forums all over the web than you ever thought possible. Fellow new MTs and experienced MTs are a wealth of information, not only about the trials and tribulations of going thru school and finding a job, but all the stuff that comes with actually working as an MT. Good luck!
You really have to read some
of the posts and take them with a grain of salt. Not all MT companies are so cut throat with QA and all. Yes, there is a lot of knowledge to learn, and yes, a lot of it you will learn once you actually start transcribing. A good program will help immensely. Some posters tend to be vicious and will start pointing out your spelling and grammatical mistakes just from making a friendly post, and you just have to learn to ignore those posters/posts. There is a lot of helpful information on this board and some really friendly people as well. Don't fear the unknown and keep your head up! Most of us are here to help!
I have read that
I should wait until I get a client like you said and I see that it makes sense. In your experience, do physicians in smaller offices generally use microcassettes or wav files? Even if I don't purchase ahead, I would like to have an idea what everyone else uses or recommends so I can scope out sources for purchasing. Thank you!
Hmmmm........obviously did not read
her question correctly then. She asked what SCHOOL is the best to choose. Her question was not WHETHER OR NOT to enter this field. By the way, I am over it.
Have a good day!
Read - think i can tell you where to apply.SM
Hi - Go and apply at RIUnlimited - they hire new people - they do pay for spaces - they will pay you 6 cents a line which is low but it is a good place to start - i started there when i got out of school - they will hire you - Good Luck to you!
Maybe you should read before you post.
"I don't remember anyone mentioning Spheris. Maybe they did. I don't have time to go look."
Please read through the posts below (sm)
and be forewarned that there are so-called "companies" and "MTSOs" out there who say they hire newbies but then ask for money upfront in order to work for them. Bottom line: do not pay to work, except for purchasing your own software and equipment. Reputable companies and MTSOs will not ask you for money and will not need you to buy a footpedal from them. Take care and good luck!
Christie - Please read. (sm)
I did clean up this thread. However, I'm not deleting every single post because it is offensive to you.
This IS a public forum. You should probably get a thicker skin to post here. The posters were trying to give you some advice, though not quite in as tolerant of a manner as we would like to see.
If you have any issues, it is best to report them to the Administrator or myself.

Has anyone read this book....?
Hello all-
I had gone to the AAMT site (now AHDI) and found the e-book entitled Getting Your Foot in the Door: Two Years' Experience Not Required. Before I purchase it, I wonder if any one has read it and if it had any good tips for an MT that does not have the 2 yrs that is spoken about so much.
Thanks in advance.
don't believe all that you read on this board.
I have worked for Medquist for a few years, and I think they are a great company to work for. There have been a few bumps in the road, but they hear the MT's and are trying to correct them. The pay is good, and the platform is excellent.
You need to re-read your post. You did
not say you asked for a back-up account, you said you asked for "another account." You also stated you were tired of begging for what you want.
I never proof and never re-read
Even in school I didn't proof or reread or re-listen. Unless there's a word/phrase I can't understand, my foot is on play the whole time. I tried proofing long ago but that just messed me up and slowed me down. I've had 99% accuracy consistently for over a year and it saves a lot of time.
No disrespect, please read
The problem I have here is that my address and all my info are on my resume on a COMPLETELY unregulated board--do you see my issue? I am so willing to work for someone, but anyone can access this site and get personal info--such as my address and contact information. Is there more a secure way to do this?
Definitely read the thread below..
I am happy that Annette gave such a clear cohesive response..in that one MT course will MAYBE get you clinic work..but you will no way be ready for acute care until you have had a minimum of 1-2 years of training. MT is a difficult and technical and the best training is on the job..no doubt,with a great mentor... and I just do not see all the time needed to get proficient as worth it. If you have time to take the course..I would recommend coding as well...and a terminology class before hand..might help give you a small foundation of understanding. Good luck
Read the website
Read the AHDI website under Under CMT elibibility it states.... "Although any candidate is eligible and granted permission to take the CMT certification exam, two-years of transcription experience in the acute care (or equivalent) setting is strongly suggested for success on the exam."
So apparently they have changed their mandatory 2- years of experience requirement.
Read through previous posts here...SM
This topic comes up frequently, actually. Your school SHOULD be offering you placement assistance - ask who hires their grads. Try local hospital/doc offices, and keep applying. I wouldn't buy equipment because you never know what you'll need for a job. Purchasing some references would be a good idea, though.
I think you should re-read what you're talking about...
There is more to it than you think. Banter on a message board is not going to get you $$, so if you're implying that people are promoting CS for the sole purpose of getting the moolah, you're wrong...
My gosh, a grad from M-Tec/Andrews, obviously trying to discredit CS. Who says it doesn't happen? Oh..that's right. M-Tec and Andrews says it. Right.
I just read a post about Ascend
The same thing that happened with proficient transcription is happening here, so everyone beware

Read Only Memory Blip...
Well, even though my little retarded but put out the read only memory blip, I still passed the written portion of the examination, so she sent me the transcription portion. I guess I will start work on it tonight. I hope I do okay on it. I have to put in at least 1 week notice with my boss though. I hope the new potential boss doesn't mind. I do have to get away for the first one though. The last one I did, I made 30 bucks, but I put in 5 hours too. Just too much, and I couldn't use my Expander at all.
Sorry, that should read "Do not provide..."
Forgot the drop-off point there.
I am willing to do transcription for free...please read why!
I will be graduating shortly. I understand how hard it is to get a job in this field without experience. I know that 2 years is preferred but I also figure that some is better than none. I have been doing free transcription work for free in return for a letter stating I did work for you. I will only be doing this for a short time so take advantage of this offer! This would be a great opportunity for any ICs that have an abundance of work right now but do not want to hire anybody, or if you just want to lower your workload for a short amount of time. Let me help you...so it can help me! This is a serious offer! Serious inquiries only!
BTW, if you are going to comment just to be rude or insulting, please don't comment at all. We all have to start somewhere.
Thank you so much for you honesty. The things you said are very true. I only wish I had read some
