Another Ad on this site posted yesterday - by Nuanace


Posted: Mar 28, 2012

There is another ad stating they supply equipment, posted yesterday. No way would I be spending money to upgrade my Word software or memory if they are still advertising they provide equipment. Just click on the job seekers board and you'll see. Last week they may have run out of equipment for the "30 positions", but what about this week? I would be asking them about that before I spend my money.

If they dont supply equipment, they need to - take it out of their ad.

Can't miss it - It's in big bold print - says:

[ In Reply To ..]
ACUTE CARE MT/MCS AND QC EDITOR POSITIONS AVAILABLE! - EQUIPMENT PROVIDED!

They are hiring for several different accounts - This particular account has equipment supplied

[ In Reply To ..]
**We are actively seeking 30 qualified acute care candidates on one of our platforms that requires specific technical requirements so we will provide the computer equipment at no cost!**

They also state the above in the ad; I assume this to mean they don't necessarily supply equipment for *all* positions but do for *this particular account.*

Instead of all the hoopla, perhaps someone who's applying should just ASK if the equipment is supplied?

Yes, definitly worth asking, because someone - like me would assume

Equipment is supplied, as that was my interpretation.

I read on here a couple days ago that someone said they could not get started until they had upgraded their word program and installed more memory and I found it confusing, as I took it to mean they supplied equipment.

Then when I see another ad just posted yesterday, I'm like wait a minute here...they are STILL saying they supply equipment.

Just saying because Word software is not cheap and neither is memory unless you know how to install it yourself.

but you have to work 2nd or 3rd shift to get a computer... - sm

It is on another job board. We can't post links so do a search.
and if you read further in this ad, it is there also... - nm

I also was told I'd be reimbursed after 90 days. Sent receipts last week. We'll see next pay day if I get my money back. Ask this during phone interview.

Equipment - Webber

Nuance doesn't generally supply equipment to MTs. Webmedx used to supply equipment to MTs. My guess is that they only have the equipment that was sent back to them when WMX MTs quit. WMX used to supply an expander (Shorthand), but we were recently told that will no longer be the case as they do not supply equipment and/or software to MTs.

Well that pretty much clears it up - now we know

[ In Reply To ..]
why some MTs "possibly" have the option to recieve equipment and some dont.

Maybe those computers being given out are for the people being hired to replace the WMX MTs that left, either that or the WMX computers are only being given to those hired to work 2nd or 3rd shift.

Yesterday Was The First Time I Ever Posted On This Forum

I always held myself back from posting.  I guess I'm "secretly afraid" that "spooks" are roaming around on the this Board, and if you say "enough" they'll find out who you are via technological "magic" which I don't really understand. But, as I said a post or so back, "I Hit Some Kind of a Wall."  The need to vent has overcome the need to exercise wisdom.  And besides, I'm looking or another job and at least I live in a big city that has a lot of data entry a ...

First Day On The Job Yesterday.....
Dec 01, 2010

and I made a whopping $7/hour.  They gave me a physician that, obviously, no one wants. Lots of work on the system from him.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.  I still have private clients and can make $7 in about 10 minutes.  It's infuriating, but I need the extra $$....if that's what you can call it.  I also got some crazy QA corrections.  One says one thing and another person says another.  Not sure what to do about that.  In my opinion, consistency within a c ...


Took CPC Yesterday.
Dec 30, 2012

I felt confident in myself when I walked into test. Felt prepared, however  I walked out feeling dejected and not sure if I even passed.  I seriously do not know how I did.  I did well on most sections, but I took the advice of other past testers... skipped over the more challenging scenario/questions (And I am glad I did, as I would not have answered the easier ones at the end of the test booklet had I spent time on the harder ones) My plan was to go ...


Yesterday Was My Last Day....

Yes, I gave a 2 week notice.  I didn't work a lot during those 2 weeks because my primary account was low, or out, of work and it just didn't feel right to take jobs away from someone else on my team. I have to say this......my team lead, my prior team lead, and their manager were very good to me.  I realize that they have higher managers too and they are required to follow the rules that are put upon them.  There lies the problem.  The higher ups.  I've ...

Did Anyone Get Downtime For Yesterday?
Apr 01, 2011

Just curious if MQ is going to try to ignore yesterday's DocQscribe crash.  My CCM is on vacation so I just put an alert on my timecard.  The RTL told me that it was not an alert and deleted my note.  So downtime or not?  I guess I will just be short this week because I am not making up hours or taking PTO when their stupid system crashes and MQ refuses to own up to it.  Thats what they get for having us all upgrade at the same time.  ...


100% Editing Yesterday
Aug 17, 2011

Not one (1) typed report yesterday all day.  Then got an audit back with a low score, very, very picky.  A couple of careless things, my fault, trying to get in enough editing lines to make a living and rushing.  Guess I need to slow down even more....  Thinking about looking into a receptionist position at a doctor's office near me.  I figure with my age and number of years I have just been doing MT I might not be employable in the outside world, but will give it a ...

What I Heard Yesterday
Jan 22, 2015

When I started out MT years back I transcribed for the local hospital ER docs group. I loved it, but moved on when work dwindled down. A friend works for the group of hospitals in management so I asked who was doing the ER transcription now, I wanted to apply. I was told the hospitals in this area have started using scribes and are slowly doing away with MTs altogether. The exact same thing my new GP doc told me a year ago. Not sure how much longer we are going to be around people, be prepar ...


Gah! In The ER Yesterday Morning..
Jan 23, 2015

I was a patient in a local ER yesterday and had the nicest British physician.  I was directly across from central and was able to hear this physician dictate.  Clear, concise, perfect speed, a dream to transcribe.  The downside is the hospital uses Epic only - no editing by human hands (and ears) at all.  Why oh why can't us humans have dictators like this? ...


Again... OOW Due To OT Offered Yesterday

We were out of TAT once last week and since then if there are more than 2 (well maybe I am exaggerating here) jobs in the pools they open up OT.  Everyone needs to make money, so of course many of us come in and work.  Understandable.  But TSMs need to cut it off at some point so we don't wind up with nothing in the morning and slow, slow, slow to build up during the day once it is cleaned out at night.  They want you to come back in early afternoon and make up ...

Yesterday My Husband's Hours Were Cut...
Dec 18, 2009

by 5 hours a week, and because he's a supervisor, his salary will be cut by 3%.  Probably more cuts in the next few months.  I know it's not much, but it's scary.  We can't afford it (we're barely making it now), but we'll manage.  I've already taken a second part-time job to supplement my FT at MQ and am looking for another full-time job - that's not MT related. The company he works for is over 100 years old and has never had lay ...


Follow-up On QA Submission Yesterday
Oct 27, 2010

On the 3 horrible reports that I had to submit to QA yesterday because of the 3-blank rule, thus losing 3 cpl probably, QA had no more luck filling in the blanks than I and sent them through with 5-10 blanks.  That makes me so mad -- not at QA, just in general that I get penalized financially when it was the DOCTOR'S FAULT AND THE PICKY FACILITY'S "RULE."  ...
