Are MLSs given the opportunity to switch from acute care over to ambulatory

On the website they say 1+ years of experience for Acute Care but 5+ years of experience for Ambulatory. I would have thought Acute Care would be more difficult.....??? Also wondering.....for Acute Care they say you need to have MS Word but not for Ambulatory? What do you need instead? Thanks for any replies! ...

I am ambulatory and I got the e-mail, have not heard about the video, but the e-mail mentioned conference calls with our TSMs. I would imagine the TSMs asked for a video so the calls would go better and maybe a few less questions? ...

I know this is a really stupid question but, what does acute care consist of? What types of reports are acute care? I understand that it is basically emergency type of care or short-term care, but exactly what types of reports would you be transcribing? TIA ...

I was asked to take the transcription test for the above company, but can't figure out how to control the speed or turn the sound down. My foot pedal doesn't work with this one. Does anyone know how to do this? I have sent them an email asking, but guess they don't have the time to answer. Would appreciate any help given. Thx. By the way, does anyone know what their starting cpl rate is? ...

Would like to hear from anyone who took the transcription test for the above company in regard to how you actually can play the sound files. My foot pedal would not work with their voice files. I would click on the start button and the dictation would start and just keep going. I could not pause, stop it, or anything else insofar as controlling it so I could actually type anything. I e-mailed them with questions but never heard anything back until hours later in the day and they said I ...

Alot of the job listings ask for 5+ years in this area, so how do you get into it in the first place? I don't mind starting at the bottom and moving up... But where is the bottom? I had a job with a company but they would not pay me. So now I am trying to look for a job again and not many people wantt o hire someone that does not have alot of experience. So.. How do you get into a specialty?? ...

That's it! I've had it with transcription companies that only offer acute care transcription and don't pay you anything for it anyway! That if you don't have acute care experience or been lucky enough to obtain it. SOL. I'm changing my profession. ...

I truly hope that no one applies for this job. That is even beyond ridiculous for clinic work! ...

I transcribe both clinic and some acute care, and the acute care that I transcribe has a higher percentage of ESL dictators. It seems like that is typical for acute care. Why is that? Are the ESL doctors drawn more to being hospitalists? ...

What is the difference between ped and regular adult acute care transription? I am being asked if I have ped experience but wouldn't they be the same? ...

As a relative newbie MT, I'm not certain what "acute care" means. Does it mean basically all reports that are from doctors in the hospital setting? That is, would any hospital operative note, hospital progress note, and all discharge summaries be considered "acute care"? I know a clinic note is basically a note by an outpatient doctor, right? And it's basically about more minor medical problems albeit could be chronic rather than "acute." ...

What is acute care experience? Do you work for the hospital? I am sooo green to MT! Appreciate advice about this. Still waiting to start the AIM MT internship. Anyone done it? Diane in Vermont ...

Happy Christmas everyone! I am looking after 2 accounts over Christmas, one Radiology and one Acute Care, neither of which I have any experience of! Can anybody out there point me in the direction of some good websites that would give me vocabulary lists or a "crash course" on these topics?! ...

I completed my education with Everett Community College in their Career Step program for MT training in Dec. 2006. I have been working ever since in a rehab/therapy clinic. I am the only one who does the transcription for 7 therapists and it is a rather busy office. I have wanted to find work doing hospital transcription and certainly not from lack of trying to locate work on my part. What frustrates me is that I was told by my instructors that I should be able to find su ...

How long does it take for a clinical MT to become an acute care MT, or I am losing my mind even trying? I have an interview with WalMart today and am actually considering it.... my confidence is down the toilet. Any thoughts? Thanks. ...

I have been an MT for 11 years and am wanting to expand my knowledge base beyond the realm of radiology. I have been applying for acute care positions but I am not even given the opportunity to test most of the time because I don't have any acute care experience. I would like to know what I would have to do in order to get some acute care experience behind me so that I can become eligible to apply for and test for acute care positions. Any information anyone has on this would be most a ...

Can anybody tell me if you can make more money doing Radiology or Acute Care? ...

And get hired? Opportunites are limited with clinic work, which is all I have experience with, but nobody will give me a chance. Should I apply for acute care positions anyway? Anyone MTs who only did clinic work have any stories about breaking into it? ...

I have been doing clinics for 10 years. Now I am learning acute care and it is very tough. Lots of doctors and no time to learn each one of them. Very tough. Does it usually take a long time to learn this. They say I am doing great, but lots of blanks! ...

What categorizes acute care? I mean i have typed clinic notes for family practices and have done endocrinology ( i have not been an MT long and am still learning the lingo). when they say looking for acute care experience, what does that consist of? thanks guys!! ...

I see that TransTech just placed an ad for acute care MTs. I was hoping that someone who currently works there or has worked for them in the past could share how your experience was. Do you run out of work a lot? Are they an overall good company to work for and treat their MTs well? I remember reading in the distant past that a lot of people there were running out of work a lot. Is this still an issue or a thing of the past? Any feedback on this company w ...

Can someone please tell me how to get acute care experience? ...

I would love to know how you get acute care experience when no one will give you the opportunity without it. I am good at what I do and work hard. I am very frustrated because my current job went to voice recognition (which I am sure everyone is on that boat with me). My pay has been cut in half and I am looking for extra work but no one will look at me without acute care experience. Does anyone have any suggestion? ...

I want to work in acute care and have transcribed for almost 30 years. I know I can do it. Why can't I find someone who will hire me and give me a chance since there are so many acute care transcription jobs out there? I have good experience in orthopedics and a good work ethic. Just wondering. ...
