Does Transcend supply computers? - MT


Posted: Jul 18, 2011

Also, they seem to have lots of different platforms.  Which platform is your favorite?

No computer and when I was there I even had to buy my own Word program. Transcend really doesn't give much of anything but a headache.

No computer, but does supply foot pedal and word expander - mt

As for the headache mentioned above, I think it all depends on who your ROM is. Mine was definitely a headache, and definitely not worth the stress, which is why I do not work there anymore. I even asked for a transfer to another account, going to the Employee Relations Person about it. As soon as work got back to my ROM, I heard nothing about it again. Glad to be done with Transcend. It's too bad, because for the first two years it was great. Amazing what bad can happen when a good ROM quits and they fill her position with a power hungry bully.

MT, that's pretty much what happened to me, except - my "good" ROM turned bad when the

account threatened to go offshore unless costs were cut drastically. I didn't document properly, so what happened after that could get me sued for libel. I ended up transferring to another group, which also turned out to be problematic at that time, and I had to give up and move to a more dependable company. In any case, things were very good until they were very much not, and then being a good remote employee didn't help me at all.

Woke up to my computer dead (2.5 years old).....shut it down last night, no problems.  Did not notice if the blinking light(of the power button) was on or not last night when I went to bed.  In any case it was off this morning which is not the norm.  DOA.  Tried the obvious, unplugged, replugged in different outlet, etc.  Nada.  Have another old Dell here (has hard drive issues not power supply)  thought maybe I could switch out the power supplies, don ...

Not To Smart With Computers
Jan 08, 2011

Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight.  Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small.  It is worse than with my smaller screen.  I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc.  Any suggestions?  Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...


Laptop Computers

Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer.  As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company.  It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected.  There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.
