Split Shifts are...
Offered to employees at some places. Being an IC is nice but sometimes the company would like to have an outline of when you can work so they know they are covered 24/7. I like being an employee because I get vacation, sick days, insurance, 401(k), and my taxes are taken out. I liked being an IC because of the flexibility. If you get a good company and take an employee position, they will work with you on hours.
No, you did not address all the issues...sm
Such as...
1. There was a poster below that asked if they already had the foot pedal and software, what, if anything, would you charge them?
2. You did charge my friend for Express Scribe free shareware, and that was the only software she was asked to purchase. When I contacted you regarding employment, you did not ask me to test (which is what legitimate companies do). Instead, you just asked for $99 up front in the form of a money order or reloadable cash card for "shareware" and did not specify what it was. It wasn't until after my friend sent you the money that she discovered it was free shareware.
3. If you do need a new employee to purchase their own software, why can't they purchase it themselves, or have the money taken out of their first paychecks, as other companies do? I know that DocShuttle can be purchased by individuals so they can download and submit files, and individuals can purchase it themselves, and that is what other companies have asked people to do.
4. Why would they need to buy a foot pedal from you? Anyone can purchase one on their own.
I am not trying to trash anyone. I am simply wanting to make people aware that there are scammers out there willing to prey on new MTs hungry for work. The real bottom line is, NEVER pay to work. So just be careful out there folks....
ethical issues
Hello out there. I am a MT student and needing some ideas for a project I have on ethical and legal issues that a MT might encounter. Could someone give me some ideas?
Things like you know something about someone, but you can't tell anyong because of HIPAA, JACHO, or a law.
I am having a hard time, everytime I have an idea I can't seem to find a law or HIPAA regualtion to back it up. I have to have 3 ideas. One is where a physician gives a patient too many Rx for pain pills. I just draw a blank on any other ideas.
If someone could send some ideas my way, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
So, MTSO, are you going to address the issues
Why are you taking the money?
With your anger management issues, how do you

Format/Dictation Issues
Hey there, everybody! I'm currently training to be an MT through an online school and I'm having some trouble in specific areas.
First, Everything I'm studying and learning keeps telling me to type verbatim what I hear so I do that and then receive points off of my submitted assignments for not "editing for grammar." However, when I do decide to edit for grammar, I get points off for not typing what I hear verbatim. Are there any tips I can get on doing this? When do I know to edit for grammar?
Second, formats! I have a ton of reference books but I'm still having a little trouble knowing which formats to use. My current assignment I'm working on is a discharge summary but it doesn't really match the examples I have. How do I know which one to use so I meet the standards of my school and pass the assignments?
Third, I'm having some trouble with dictation quality. What would be suggested for the really fuzzy dictations that sometimes mumble words?
Thanks :)
You still haven't addressed the issues brought up below . (sm)
The first sentence of your post above says you are going to address the issues posted on this board, and yet you STILL haven't addressed these issues, such as why you take money upfront instead of letting people buy their own software, why you charged for software that is free, why does someone need to buy a foot pedal from you when they can buy it on their own, and if someone already has a foot pedal and the software what would you charge them. It seems you're skating around the issues instead of addressing them. This has nothing to do with pleasing people 100% of the time, and it has nothing to do with personnel issues. I don't work for you. This is about enlightening those who need it about the scams that are out there.
And you DO respond to these posts very quickly. You responded to my original post INSTANTLY.
The only one I have heard of
is the one that Jay Vance is running. I cannot remember what it is called but maybe if you check over on the AAMT forums you can find a link to the information on it.
HTH
Never heard of them.
They may be fine, but that's a new one to me.
Never heard of it.....(sm)
Where did you hear about this program? Do they have a website?
have you heard anything?
Hey Angela,
I also took the tests and was told they were reviewing my assessments and would get back to me by the end of the next day. I still haven't heard anything. Have you?
That's what I heard the
whole time I was in school. I took online courses through my local community college. By the middle of my courses, I was so discouraged and thought I was going to have such a hard time finding a job and thought I was just wasting my time, but I am so glad that I stuck it out. I had a job before I even graduated and have never been turned down for a job since. Within the first 3 months of finishing, I was working for 3 different companies at the same time. Everybody says it is easier to get jobs going to those 2 schools, and maybe it is. My point, however, is it can be done without going to them. I think it has a lot to do with how you do on their tests as well.
Yes...I have heard of
Trans am....but it was referred to as Trans Scam...Stay away from that. Have you tested for any companies yet? This is probably a difficult time of year for newbies because of the end of the year and the holidays effecting the amount of dictation and the ability for companies to adequately train during this period. I wish you luck...It is hard, but we all started out as new grads...I really hope you find a fit soon. I can't imagine trying to begin this career at this time with the ASR and all the other issues with outsourcing, etc. Keep your chin up... BUT NEVER PAY ANYONE to work...NO WAY!
ever heard of..
Has anyone ever heard of T & I Transcription? If so, are they a good company?
I wish I could say I'd never heard of it!
I don't know what program this is, but potential students have been asking working MTs for this information for a long time. Doesn't this program know that most MTs work on a PRODUCTION basis?
I have not heard anything good about it.
If you are looking for a quality MT education, the gold standard training comes from Andrews and M-Tec. Some graduates of Career Step have had good luck in finding and keeping employment also. The top schools turn out job-ready MTs. Employers are eager to hire them. The cheaper schools do not turn out graduates that employers are eager to hire.
I've never heard of them, but you should really
ask on the company board.
Where are all of the MT jobs I heard about?
I completed my MT training in September, and have not been able to find a job. EVERYONE tells me the same thing - they need someone with experience! As part of my training, I typed so many reports for all different specialties - isn't that experience? Any ideas where graduate students can go to get a hospital, clinic, doctor, nursing home or MT service to give me a chance? I am willing to take any typing or dictation test. I got into this field because I thought there was a demand for the work. Could have fooled me...
I even heard you mumble! lol! NM
I have never heard of an MT having to do such a thing.
That is definately not your responsibility or your job description. I would be bringing the issue up with someone to get it taken care of.
heard they are a scam....say they
have work and don't give any.....not nice from what I have heard 
Has anyone heard of any of these schools?
Hi. I have been researching different MT schools trying to find the one that will best prepare me to work as an MT from home. I don't want to waste my time and money and not have the skills I need to excel in this field. I have read several posts that have recommended M-Tec and Andrews, both of which I had not heard of until finding this forum. I was wondering if anyone has heard of or attended any of the following schools I have been looking at: The VLC (the virtual learning center), Penn-Foster, Career Step.
The VLC seems to have a good program, however, since I've never taken any MT courses, I can only base my opinion on what I've read on their website. Any advice would really be appreciated.
I have heard of it - from all the people who took that course and can't get a job. NM

I have heard of them, but have never worked for them.
I would check the archives and see what posters have said about them.
Good luck!
From what I have been told and also have heard
you should type what you hear, since you cannot possibly know what templates they are using. I have also found that the tests that I am able to download onto my system and then work on them I can hear better. The MTTest site tends to really be distorted in sound quality. Also info given to me by a great and wise MT was to not plug in your headphones to the speakers. Make sure you are plugging them directly into your computer tower. I was missing a lot of the little words from not doing this.
I am still job searching as well. Just remember the job market is in poor shape all the way around. My aunt just recently had to fill out a 10 page application for substitute secretarial/lunch lady position in her school district. They said it would take at least 2 weeks before they would be able to tell her if they will allow her to work for the district or not.
Better times will come.
Has anyone heard of Ascripts
Thanks appreciate the info.
Barb
Has anyone heard of A+ Scripts
any infor would be helpful to me. The intern program is what I have to take.
Thanks,
Barb
never heard of pay by class
I can tell you what I did. I went to a vocational college locally that had a good program. They allowed you to pay by semester/quarter, and not the whole thing at once. Maybe that is what your husband meant. I don't have a lot of good experience with online schools. Check out ahdionline.org for accredited online MT schools if that is what you need to do. If you do go to a local college, you may be able to tap into local scholarships. That is what I did to help take the bite out of tuition. Or if you don't have a degree yet, there are government grants available out there. Most of the ladies in my class did that it seemed. Just do your homework and make sure you are comfortable with the program. Good luck.
I have never heard of such a requirement
to get accepted into an MT program in an MT school.
How should you get access to MT employers and MT employees if you are applying to be accepted into a training program.
That's weird.
Try to research it online.
heard of the At Home Professions MT course
I was wondering if anyone has heard of or even graduated from At Home Professions MT learning course!, If so was it successful??
heard of at home profession ....
Hi Cindy,
Yes, I took their course and it worked for me. Takes lots of hard work from yourself to make it. I'm a successful medical transcriptionist!
I've heard of people who do okay with them, but ...
I've never hired a grad of their school. I've tested many of them, but none of the At Home grads have done well enough on my tests.
Never heard of an MT doing this. Probably not in our normal job description!

AHDI has heard of MTec
The AHDI has definitely heard of MTec--they're on their list of approved schools. The list is on the AHDI website.
Most national services have heard of MTec, too. If you asked a small, local company, they might not have, but many, many other companies will have heard of them, since they tend to hire a lot of MTec and Andrews grads.
I heard that were going review resumes after the New year.

That's a first for me. I've never heard of an IC being paid hourly.
I wonder if that breaks any laws about ICs? I'm not an expert at all on IC laws, but I wouldn't be surprised if being paid hourly doesn't make you an employee. You might want to post that question in the subject line on the main board.
Never heard of them, probably wouldn't hire a student from them.
Best advice I can give: Invest in an education that gives a recruiter warm fuzzies, and be on top/near the top of that class.
Would you want your surgeon to graduate from a cheap university on a remote island?
Has anyone ever heard of MT Recruiters? Feedback would be appreciated, thanks
Ever heard of them? I am finding it very hard to get a job without at least a year of experience. I am also looking for work in local medical facilities....let's face it....I am looking EVERYWHERE. I may have to flip burgers until I get hired...I have a mortgage payment coming up...I'm just keeping my fingers crossed at this point...and I am not giving up!
I have never heard a complaint or bad thing about either one. Good luck to you. nm

Never heard of needing a speed test in school, and you certainly won't need

Is your coding work done from home? I have heard it was very difficult sm
to get coding work at home, you have to go to work for a company somewhere. Has this changed? I know coders are always needed, but we don't have any openings locally for at-home coding. TIA.
I've never heard anything good about Penn Foster
The only time I hear about them is when someone who took that course is complaining they can't get hired.
Only 1 post recently from someone who heard good things and wished they
s
I've never heard of that school, and I've
been doing this for nearly 20 years. Maybe they have in Canada, but in case you work for a company in the US, you might want to consider M-Tec and Andrews. They are on-line and their students get jobs when they graduate because they are in demand. Again, not sure how much it will complicate getting work since you live in Canada, but I think you should at least compare the programs closely.
