friend of mine fell for one of those "BIG BUCKS (MT-ing) FROM HOME" ads

A lady I have talked with wants to train in this kind of work and is planning on going to Andrews. Would she be making at least $30.00 an hour when she gets a job? Thanks. ...

I told her to give it not a second thought, it was a waste of money and time for the schooling required, and, even as an IC, she'd be LUCKY to make $.09 a line and have zero benefits. I told her she'd be MUCH better off working for McDonald's. Who is going to enter this profession of low pay and no benefits in the future? Who will stay when, even the transcriptionists who are fortunate enough to be doing straight transcription now, are gone after the switch to VR and ...

The following is from a Facebook post from a physician friend of mine. This is a letter he sent to his congressman. I got permission from him to post it here. Long read, but I feel galvanized by this: I have been dealing with 2 electronic health record (EHR) systems and it is clear that the technology is not ready for implementation. I feel they will increse cost, decrese access, and decrease quality of care in their current state. I encourage anyone reading thi ...

This profession is awesome. You can make big bucks. Not unheard of to start out making about $14/hour. If you work hard and really plug away at it, you may be making twice that in a few years. :<{ ...

Well, I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Saw the ad on MT Jobs. Did the pre-evaluaiton test for the company called Cognition Health Partner. It even had my hometown as their location so I jumped on it. Then when I finished the test and the message said I did not meet minimum score and then a recommendation to receive more training and a suggestion to try Career Step, I knew I had been fooled. I thought it was too good to be true that a transcrpition company was a ...

To those making 50+ K a year: I'm glad to know that in this industry it is still possible to make a decent living! I LOVE transcription! I've been an at-home MT for about 5 years and see the potential, but seem to get easily distracted being at home and get restless and can't sit still. What is it that you are doing to stay focused on your work? Is it really about working weekends and second, third shifts? Please share! I'm stuck at around 25K, when ...

Poster below crows about how much money they make with VR. What are these big bucks, you struggling VR people ask? Poster states they clear $1000 a pay period--A whole $24,000 a year! THOSE ARE THE BIG BUCKS?????? Sad, truly, truly sad. ...

To being prductive? I need to do at minimum 3000 lines per 8-hour shift. Anyone have experience with VR on Dolbey Fusion. Do you guys read ahead of the voice? ...

Another first today. In the HPI, the patient was white. In the physical examination the patient was an African American. At the end in summary, she was Hispanic. The good news is, she stayed a female the entire report. Sigh. ...

First, don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to be negative about this in any way and wish any new MT success. However, with this profession dying like it is and even very experienced MTs just trying to eke out even $10 an hour . . . It really aggravates me all of these MT schools and courses trying to suck innocent people in with their high tuition costs, etc. The fact is that nowadays it is akin to going and paying x amount of money to go work for $10 or less an hour. These schools/c ...

I am in serious need of a new transcription job, straight typing. If your job offers a bonus for signing on a new employee, let me be your bonus.. if they don't and but still need help, please contact me. I'm seriously on the verge of not being able to make my house payment in the near future. Nine years transcription experience, basic 4, acute care, psychiatry.. you name it.. if I haven't done it, I can learn. Current job switched to VR and ...

I have a friend who is a nurse who wants to get into medical transcripting. Since she has a lot of background, she doesn’t think it would take her long. I had a bad experience with the company that trained me, so I was wondering what you guys would recommend for her? Do you know of any companies that train then give live work or know of a low-cost school?I let her know that most companies require 3 years experience, so do you know of anyone who hires fresh MTs?Thanks in advance! ...

This is the first time on this new pay plan that I've fallen below 99%. I have had two reports audited so far. Usually I have three or four, so maybe there is still hope. The two reports I have had audited each had a tiny 0.25 point error -- enough to drop me down to a 98.75!! ~sigh~ ...

Another one bites the dust. She said she didn't have anything lined up yet; just couldn't stand the stress any longer. ...

Applied, was offered a position and NEVER heard another word. Emailed and left message for recruiter and no acknowledgement that they ever existed. Did I dream this? It was just last week? ...

Just had a report where the dictator fell asleep and started snoring! ...

My friend has worked at a local hospital for the past 6 years and within the last year they have gone to voice recognition. Now because of this they are running out of work on a daily basis and she has to use her vacation time when this happens (she takes at least 3 days of vacation per week). She is starting to run low on vacation time and then has to take it without pay. Did I read on here that she can apply for unemployment because of lack of work? I went to her house last night and helped h ...

They are offering a whopping 5 bucks an hour if you do overtime. Just another slap in the face. ...

Ok, I have a friend who has worked inhouse for a few years for a large hospital. She makes $14 an hour with shift differential. They have pretty much cut the incentive pay out. She really doesn't get that I don't think anymore. She is fustrated with her boss and is considering going to Medquist radiology transcription. Another friend who works on the radiology side of MQ said she has not ran of work before and has 5 accounts to work on, etc. She says ...

He fell on his pacemaker recently and bruised his face?? That's what she said, but it sounds strange to me. Would you leave it as is? ...

Someone who works at Medquist on the radiology side said that radiology isn't as bad as the acute care side. She said she has not ran out of work yet, and she has been there several months. I know what I see on these boards about the acute care side. Does this pertain to the radiology side too or is it different? ...

really not much medical history accept a pacemaker. ...

This is their "official" statement I found about their wonderful platform and the ability of MTs to increase their compensation up to 100%!!! Wow!!! Spitting my coke all over the computer screen http://www.nuance.com/for-healthcare/resources/mt-compensation/index.htm ...

Just worked on an ESL report (with unfortunately for me very, very, very little English). This is a VERBATIM account. Sent it to QA and it was "transformed" into English with little regard for that pesky word VERBATIM. Does verbatim mean different things to different people? ...

Just got mine in the mail. ...

It's longer than the constitution for Pete's sake! I end up with so many entries because I get a job, one that usually takes 2 minutes to type, send it off, then NJA, wait a minute, here comes another job, type it, takes 2 minutes, and on and on. Craziness! ...
