finding another job vent - out-of-the loop

I need to find a new job.  The company I'm working for is replacing med transcriptionists with voice recognition and electronic health records.  This is not the first time this has happened either, . . it happened at another hospital I worked for.  The company's response was "you can go work for the service."  Yeah, right, at half the pay.  After working at a good in-house hospital job for nine years, I realize how home MTs are so mistreated.  And, I can say that with a grain of salt because my "wonderful hospital job" I I guess, wasn't so wonderful because they eliminated the position of "medical transcriptionist."  Seems like everywhere I've worked that has been on the forefront of every medical facility's management's mind, . . to do away with transcriptionists.  We have to know so much, and I don't think anybody appreciates us except maybe other transcriptionists.  I think we're undervalued because people are desparate to stay at home with their children or for other reasons.  I think people think that we take so little pay, so it must not be that hard.  You and I know differently.  It just saddens me.  I worked as an IC for 15 years before working at this hospital for nine, . . I liked it very much, but there was no medical insurance, no sick time, nothing.  I had to work my ass off just to make the rent and bills (I was raising two children alone).    Now, I find myself possibly going back and working for a service and see nothing much has changed or it has gotten worse.  I remember working at a service.  Although I liked it, I can remember when I had to rush, rush, rush, . . and all of the headaches and all of the times I cried because I was trying to understand a doctor you was coughing, burping, or had mush in his mouth.  Sorry for the vent, . . I do feel better.  And remember, "We have to be SMART to do what we do!!!!!"
