$11/hour for HS students in summer jobs

they said early summer but I think we can safely say it's mid summer now. Where's the compensation plan? ...

How do other mothers deal with summer break when their kids are out of school as far as working for a company? Do some companies let you have summers off and then return in the fall? Do some MTs change their schedules around possibly doing work at night, etc? Any companies better about this than others? ...

I just accepted a job as an office manager in the medical field. It took a lot of work to find a good job that did not feel like a step down, but I did it. There is hope out there folks. There are people that value the skills and expertise that a medical transcriptionist can bring to a company! If you are fed up with this field, press on! There are options out there for us. ...

Hello girls. If you all remember my WONDERFUL husband got me tickets for us to see Bon Jovi at Solider Field for Christmas. I FINALLY go to use them Friday night. Woweeee! Just some background on what is going in with my family.... My husband is an electrician who got laid off in January....still not back to work. Making COBRA payments to keep insurance....sheesh. 12-year-old daughter needs braces....$5000 with $500 downpayment due initially. My father-in-law was diagnosed with Stage 4 ...

I called them today and I am still insured with them. So, unless this is an error on the person I talked to, my next paycheck will have deductions for that insurance in addition to the deductions for the new 2013 Nuance insurances which are through other vendors. Does anyone know about this? Our policies with Colonial should have been cancelled by Nuance. ...

I'm curious if this is throughout a lot of MT companies where the summer seasons are the slowest in terms of receiving work. I used to have an abundunt amount of doctors to transcribe for across multiple accounts, but now all of a sudden that has changed, and I am almost always out of work and I no longer transcribe for what I'm estimating as half to 3/4 of the list of docs. Is this something normal? Do doctors get together and take a 3-month hiatus at once, or something...? I'm p ...

After years of thinking about going back to school and then talking myself out of it because I didn't want to face college again at age 40, I decided I need more job security, better pay and growth potential. So I filled out the financial aid forms, enrolled in a couple of classes for the summer, and here I go. I'm a little nervous actually. Been a loooooonnng while since I sat in a classroom, took notes, and took exams. My retention isn't wh ...

I left my employer of TEN YEARS, the subject of this particular forum, on April 27 after months of dealing with being in what felt like "a constant state of shock" -- while I watched my income plummet, my work pool grow from 2 basic primary hospitals and one seconday to about 25 different hospitals and clinics; it was to the point where I never felt like I knew what I was doing. I was always working in a "different state/city/local region" where all the adjunctive medical facilit ...

Wow. That stinks. I like to enjoy my summers. I was thinking about applying to them, but I don't know now. I've heard about the same amount of negatives that I've heard positives about this company... Any other opinions out there? ...

Hi:I am make incentive based on minutes, but I work on a system that lets me check how many lines and minutes I have typed in a day also. Just in case I have to get another job based on lines, I wanted to know what is the average amount of lines per hour or per 8 hour shift. Thanks for the advice in advance. MeL ...

I know none of us get paid by the hour, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever figured out just how much you earn per hour, based on a 40-hour week. I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in. I seem to be earning $16-18/hour give or take based on how my week goes. ...

Are any other VLC students out there hearing anything from VLC? (See my earlier post...) My emails don't seem to be getting through, I can't get hold of them on the phone - just voicemail - and they've not returned the message I left. Two assignments I sent 9 days ago have not been reviewed. $1500 for this course was way too much to be left in the air like this, never mind the 18 months of work for nothing! Their forums are down so I� ...

I know that there are a lot of programs, but does anyone know how many actual students there are or new graduates each year? Will there be enough jobs to support that many students/new grads or will there not be enough new MTs to fill positions? I am very curious about this as I am considering medical transcription and the information out there is confusing. ...

There was a rash of new coders signing up for coding courses down below. How is it going? We would love to hear from you about what you are experiencing so far. ...

For those of you who are past or present Andrews students... how did you/are you paying for your course? I know you can either put a down payment or pay in full. Just curious, thanks. ...

I am just wondering if any other coding students sometimes feel so overwhelmed, especially trying to work full time and study. I knew going into this that it wasn't going to be easy. One thing I have learned through all of this is that, yes there is a code for that, but you need to learn how to find it (even if it doesn't make one bit of sense)! :) ...

I wondered if there are any current coding students or graduates from Andrews around? I'm close to enrolling in their coding program, and I would really love to hear from others who have taken the course. ...

Hi you all, I hope there are some students in module III who are in the case studies or have graduated that can answer my question. I have just gotten into the intermediate case studies and am feeling totally LOST! I don't know if I am being intimidated or what. The multiple choice ones I don't have any problem with, but when I have to code the cases without the choices i'm floundering! It's funny how I thought I would remember a lot, but when it comes ...

I'm looking into different coding programs. A local community college is teaching ICD-10, while Career Step, for example, is teaching ICD-9, but offering a "free ICD-10 FastTrack course to prepare you for the transition to ICD-10." Is it odd that Career Step is still teaching primarily ICD-9? What about Andrews? How are they handling this transition? ...

How long did it take you to finish the coding course? Thanks. ...

to buy books with or without answers? Mine requires books w/o answers, which I find odd since there isn't an answer key posted or anything to find out if you've got the right answer. Pretty weird in my opinion. ...

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour. I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl. The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years. The other is an IC position. Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate? I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...

A certificate of completion (of your course or education program) does not make you a CMT. The AHDI (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity) offers 2 different credentials: RMT (for those with less experience) and CMT. Both credentials require passing a challenge exam and continuing education credits to maintain (every 3 years). If you think that it doesn't matter whether you obtain an RMT or CMT credential through the AHDI, just think of it this way:&n ...

I just found this listing for a coder in my area. I think this is the kind of coder position I want when I: A) enroll in a coding program, B) graduate, C) get certified and D) get enough experience. Here is my question: Are you learning software like what is mentioned below: Vision, Logician and Coding? Or would one probably learn those on the job at entry level? Advertised Position: This position will specialize in Primary Care. Consults with physicians and their practices on Coding protocol ...

Coders who post on this board need to remind themselves that it is basically for MTs who are networking. A medical transcriptionist who is a coding student or has become a newly certified coder has now learned in the last couple of days that: 1. MT experience, other than medical knowledge, means nothing in the coding world. There IS a big difference between school coding and actual work. 2. The ...

Haven't got any feedback from instructors in weeks and any emails to them are returned with "permanent fatal errors". Found 2 other students with the same problem as of today. Would like to know if there are any others. If anyone is affiliated with the VLC school on here I would greatly appreciate some answers. I'm getting really frustrated because I'm nearing the end of the course and have invested $1500.oo and almost 2 years of my time. To wind up with nothing to show for it at ...

I am almost done with a course that was put together by the credentialing organization. Now that I am almost done, I have gathered my notes on the course inconsistencies and incorrect answers to submit my comments to them so this doesn't happen to the next student. I would like to hear the coders' and students' thoughts on this. Doesn't someone take the entire course and fix/correct BEFORE it is offered as a course? ...

Okay, I wrote the previous post, but I have a few more questions. Any help is appreciated. How much does the coding program cost? How long did it take you to complete, full-time or part-time? Did you feel job-ready when you finished the course? Are there any hidden fees for exams, etc.? If you went the Andrews for MT as well, how would you compare the intensity of the two courses? I did attend Andrews for medical transcription 8 years ago, and I loved the program then. That is why ...
