split shift
Hi is your company in need of any others? Thank you
I work a split shift at home
I work 6 a.m. - 4 p.m. and take either two 1 hour breaks during that time or one 2 hour break, depending on what I need to get done during the day. Works out great.
There IS flexibility in this job including working a split shift

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.
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.
LOL. I responded late last night,
My brain wasn't comprehending what you were asking. I don't think we can post links here, so I will email you.
Who needs Soap Network
with Dallas and Knots Landing reruns when all the unsatisified housewives can be found right here! And I thought being an MT would be about transcription!
SOAP note
Hi! When doing a SOAP note, at the end, the Dr. says "Thank you" and gives his name. Do you type the "Thank you" or is that for the transcriptionist. In my schooling, all the reports I typed didn't have the Dr. name dictated at the end?!
Soap notes
I just finished taking another employment test. I think I failed. Does any one else have trouble with soap notes? My school didn't give us much practice with those.
Soap notes:(
I figured it out. Thanks for all of the help.

SOAP note question
Hi, in the "real world", how would the patient name, date of birth, date of service be formatted on a SOAP note? Would they each be on a separate line with a space between each line? Also for the doctor signature block, do you have to put in a line or just hit return 4 times for him to sign there, wasn't sure if you necessarily have to type the actual line. Thanks
Meditec supposed to be good but has a waiting list. The SOAP program

I went to MT school through At-Home Professions. I am 20 years old but I guess I was really looking for something that would allow me to have a family when I am ready without having to change professions when that time comes. I started working six weeks after completing MT schooling. I work at home as well.

CAI Transcription
I would not recommend CAI to anyone. My mother has been a Transcriptionist for 17 years and was absolutely blown away by the inaccuracy of their program. I did try to get into Carrer Step and never received a call back from them. I have heard a lot of good things about Andrews, but it is quite expensive. I just want anyone considering going into this field, before you spend the money, that it is not easy to find a job. When you do find a job, you do not make much for quite awhile. Best of luck in your search for the right school.
transcription
Wow, I had no idea that it would be so intense but this is what I want to do so I'm going to give it a try. Thank you very much for the information
Transcription
I read most of the postings. I am currently in a community college for medical transcription. Will I be able to find a job after graduation? I know I'll have to start at the bottom of the ladder, that's fine. Is my hard work and expectations in vain?
transcription
I had 2 transcription classes along with my other classes.
DIT Transcription
Does anyone know anything about DIT Transcription?
DIT TRANSCRIPTION
Just curious to see if any knows anything about or works for DIT Transcription out of South Carolina. Any information appreciated. Thanks.
DIT Transcription
I am the owner of DIT and can assure you that we are a legitimate company located in upstate South Carolina with transcriptionists from all over the US working from home. We are a Christian based company and operate as one, both with our transcriptionists and our clinics. If anyone has any specific questions about DIT, please feel free to contact me at ddana@dittranscription.com and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions.
To address the fact that the website has not been updated, due to the fact that we have grown to over 750 doctors and have used the money to get new clinics up and running and not updating the website.
Donna, Owner, DIT Transcription
Also maybe try USA Transcription
I hear they hire newbies and there were some ads on the boards recently. It also took me a few months to find my first job (on this site) three years ago and the pay was really low...6 cpl, but it was worth it because after training I went up to 7 cpl and after that I went up to 10 cpl....so hang in there!! Good luck!
(My first job was not with USA Transcription....just saw ads recently and thought it a possibility for you.)
Try DIT Transcription
I am currently in training with them, cpl rate is a liitle low but IC work is tough to find right now.
Are you looking for someone to do your transcription?

DIT transcription
I've been thinking of applying to this company as I have heard a few good things about it. Does anyone know the platforms, pay rate, employee or IC status, if they direct deposit and pay every two weeks? Thanks in advance for any info.
I would not try PJ Transcription
The woman who runs this company is extraordinary unorganized and sometimes rather nasty in her emails, which she will bombard you with and perhaps fill up your email box. That is what she did to me. Also, and here is a big also, she does not pay until she gets paid (so she says). You will have no way of knowing whether or not she gets paid or when you will. Bad experience for me. I am just letting you know my experience. However, she was all too happy to hire newbies when I was one.
Not on the list is DIT Transcription. They are a nice group of people, try them too.
transcription
I do clinic work and always have plenty of work and make fairly decent money. I have no complaints.
United Transcription
I was wondering the same thing too. I can't seem to find a website for United Transcription, Inc. I'm beginning to think it's not legit. The whole "no experience needed" things sounds to good to be true and I've never seen any other transcription company say that you could make up to $75,000 per year. I'd be careful with that one. Don't give them any personal info. until you've done a lot of research on them.
hospital transcription
Ok I have looked at hospital MT jobs in AZ and all of them want experience and almost none of them pay well or even list pay in the ad, your best bet is to look on monster.com or try the specific hospital site. for example a big hospital group in AZ is Banner Health, they have their own website and job listings, so try that direction.

Sierra Transcription
Bought a program from ebay called Sierra Transcription Training. All I have to say is BUYER BEWARE. I changed to Career Step even though it is longer.
Sierra Transcription
Stay far away!
Entertainment transcription
I am wondering if there are any transcriptionists out there who do entertainment transcription. What are good companies to check out?
Cost of transcription course?
What does $442 get yah? This can't be real is it?
finding a transcription job.
I read what you said about sending a flyer out to speech and language pathologist in your area. I graduated this summer from school and this actually sounds like something I could do. Thank for the idea. Just need to figure out the flyer part.
Getting a transcription position
I've worked for 19 years as a Transcriptionist for a mental health facility and now that I'm close to being able to retire, I'd like to do the transcription from home, but because I'm not certified, can't get a second look. Any suggestions???? Thanks

Coding vs Transcription
There is salary information available at the AAPC website, www.aapc.com. The link to the 2004 survey is http://www.aapc.com/recognition/salary_survey.html .
Coders tend to make a bit more and have more room for advancement into consulting, training, and compliance positions. The work requires somewhat more in terms of medical and technical knowledge, the ability to deal rapidly and effectively with constant change and uncertainty, the highest attention to detail, an absolute intolerance for error. Coding, like transcription, requires very high literacy and deductive skills--you have to enjoy reading constantly and solving frustrating puzzles.
Coding is not as amenable to working at home, although rapid progress is being made in this arena.
You can't go wrong with MT. Most of your training for that, and your on-the-job experience, will give you a huge head start in coding. Much of the background material is the same--coding just adds to it somewhat. If you choose your school right, you'll get an MT job right away, working at home, and you can then think about broadening your skills into coding. At that point, a few years from now, there will be more remote coding opportunities for you to move into.
Coding and Transcription
 Thank you so much for the information I have a little background in coding but it seems as though Medical Transcription is in more of a demand right now as far as a work at home job. The cost of tuition with either Andrews or Career Step is a bit expensive for me and I want to make sure that I make the right choice in terms of being able to find a wahj after certification.
Medical transcription is a lot more than just
typing. It depends on your knowledge of the material, how clear the dictation is, your knowledge of the material, how bad the doctor's accent is, your knowledge of the material, the quality of the recording, and, oh yes, your knowledge of the material. It also depends a lot on your knowledge of the material.
Have you tried general transcription?

Transcription Service
Have you looked in the yellow pages? I know of one small service but I believe it operates out of Dora or Sumiton. I'm not near a phonebook at the moment, but the number should begin with a 647-, of course I could be wrong...sorry. If I find it, I'll let you know.
Where are you graduating from?
Kids and transcription
I cannot image having small children under foot while doing transcription. When I did transcription, I had to have total concentration. Of course, I only worked for 12 docs in a small hospital, and I was "it" -- the only transcriptionist.
However, I worked for a good hospital, and they allowed me to leave and pick up my two elementary school children and take them to what was then called a "nursery". I then went back to work and made my 8+ hour shift. A wonderful and challenging career!
Radiology Transcription
Hello Everyone:
Anyone out there doing transcription for Radiology? can you give me an overview of what the work is like? Do you think a "newbie" could start in radiology? Any information you offer will be appreciated. Thanks,
I started by doing transcription
for veterinarians! You might try a local specialty veterinary hospital to see if they need any transcription help. You do need to know a little bit about dog and cat breeds, but the body parts are pretty much the same (except for the tail)!
