NJA IN MQ REGIONS - SIMPLE SIMONE


Posted: Jul 28, 2010

Is there any particular region that gets NJA more than others?  Would you be willing to post your state?  I'm wondering why my region is bombarded with work in the past 6 - 8 months.  I am getting calls and emails BEGGING for help. We are always back logged and being offered bonuses and incentive pay.  I am in SW New Mexico.  It is easy to get help and a hold of my CCM and RTL and they are very helpful and professional.

Just wondering if it's all in one area or in areas where there aren't big cities???  I'm in a relatively big city.

I'm in south central Texas and can't even remember the last time I got NJA. The rare occasions I have it has been on a Friday, late afternoon, at the end or toward the end of my shift anyway.

I always get calls for extra help and get the emails tempting us with bonuses for extra help.

What part of South Central Texas are you in? I'm in New Braunfels. Maybe we're neighbors!

I work for a hospital system in a big city - north region - was getting NJA a lot until changing shifts. (I am one of those disgusting people who is so fast that backlogs run and hide when they see me coming. LOL!)

I asked to be transferred to a region that has more work...and that might happen, but then again, I think it would only be temporary and none of us will be able to actually make a living as MTs for long, if at all, again.

Me too! I asked to be moved to a different region, - but told there is really no work for me.

Talk about being singled out!

I SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL! I am next in line and being forced to quit.

I am in Dallas, AND HARDLY HAVE WORK - FOR A MONTH NOW!

My hours have been cut in half.

It does not matter where you live. It matters who is your CCM and what is in your BOB.

In my BOB, I have girls from Texas, Oregon, Alaska, California, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

By the way, has anyone (MDIers) received the new log-in numbers yet?  I expect we'll need them for tomorrow and I have yet to hear about mine... ...

Quality Guidlines Across Regions
Apr 24, 2010

After discussing with some MTs in other regions, I am discovering that MMEs across regions are doing things differently.  I just became an MME last year and had not done QA before.  We have repeatedly been told to only fix what is WRONG - and to NOT make the report look like we typed it ourselves.  In other words, don't be picky - only change it if it changes the meaning of the sentence/report. However, this is not the case across regions.  I've seen MTs in other r ...
