I usually worked second shift (though not with Transcend) and I loved it. Give it a chance! Good luck to you.
I've worked 2nd shift before, but was quite a bit younger - wannie

than I am now. Unfortunately (with regards to working 2nd shift), I'm an early bird and mornings are my best times, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I have to work (don't have any choice in that) and had to take what was available at the time. Thanks for the encouragement!!!!

There's is the difference--I am a night owl by nature, hate mornings. :)- But hang in there-- I am sure you will do fine!
What constitutes missing scheduled shifts? I thought it was 3 days - now told its 2? I had internet connection problems and we all know how that is!! I called and LM on supv VM but she apparently SAYS she didnt get it and apparently now they have to answer to the "HIGHER UP SUITS" on why her direct reports did't work their shifts. She didn't even address the days I couldn't work -- it was all about clocking out 15 min. early weeks earlier -- really??? ...
As an exTranscender, I'm used to working over 8 hours to get in my minimum. We can't do this with Nuance (as I've found out) but curious of there is some leeway there. I had gone over 4 hours so obviously that is too much. Anybody squeezing in a little extra hour or 2? There's not a way to make 186 lph on this account in 8 hours. Help? ...
Does anybody out there actually have a working swap board with a long schedule posted? I'm getting so frustrated with this supposedly wonderful tool for us to have. My schedule is never posted farther out than my current work week nor are any available shifts listed farther out than that. I'm really starting to wonder why the CCM is dragging feet so much. CCM has mentioned everything from "unsure schedules are correct" to "waiting for all the kinks to get out." However, any t ...
I work on Saturday second shift on the west coast, so their Sunday EST maintenance period falls at 9 pm on Saturday night here. I've got other things to do on Saturday day than start work several hours early every single every other weekend. I've got a social life too. ...
I was laid off last Friday. Letter came today confirming discussion by phone that my part time position was eliminated and shipping labels will be sent.
I can't tell you how nice it has been to not be an employee for this company. It angers me to read posts of whatever they are now doing about NJA situation. It's hard to believe we have had to put up with these kind of antics for so long. It's stressful to read them even as a former employee! But I f ...
I was told we would be paid for the downtime we had the other day and that we would hear from someone about the number of hours, but haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know? ...
They are all being replaced (I think 400 as remember) with Regional Team Leads who will cover nights and weekends when the CCM is off. I think the CTL position came and went in only 6 months. Is that a record? ...
Spheris is filing bankruptcy, entered into agreement to sell assets to Medquist-CBay. I was sent copy of the letter sent out to the employees, though I have no idea why. Have not worked for Spheris for over 8 years. ...
This is it! Been waiting for this letter in the mail since July 23 to make it official in my mind and received the boxes to return the CPU and monitor.
I went to college with a degree in Medical Transcription/Medical Secretary (our TSMs have NO college degree). I cannot believe I gave 26 years of my life by working every holiday, having 4 (5 day) vacations in 26 years, being employee of the month 3 times over the years, giving up family time and plans because I am scheduled to work, ...

Hi all ~
I am curious how frequently QA is performed at your hospital.
We had been on a 2-reports-reviewed-quarterly schedule, but it seems QA is being pushed further and further onto the back burner because we've been so busy.
My boss would like for me to get a feel for what others are doing out there. I've worked at some hospitals that didn't do QA, ever, so I didn't have anything I could tell her.

What did they do to our pay schedule? If I am reading this correctly, we will have a pay period from December 16 to Dec 25 and then it kicks in on a totally different schedule? Any info would be helpful since I am fairly new at MQ. Thanks. ...
How about instead of begging or demanding OT you make everyone work the schedule they are supposed to work? How about you schedule the PODs/accounts properly? Well that would all be too logical, which we all know MM doesn't have common sense to be logical. ...
I know how to find my PTO balance; but, how do you find out what it was at different dates previously, or if you even can. My PTO balance hasn't changed in over a month.
If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone answer a question about this new procedure? I want to swap a shift for next week but having trouble understanding this new process. I guess if you want to work a different shift on a particular day, you would first need to post yours and make sure someone takes it before you claim another as you might end up working both - correct? It is not really swapping you have to give yours up and then hope there is one you can pick up. I am not really sure why we di ...
Does anyone know if your schedule is not showing up in teamwork if it matters or not?? Since lockout is not in place I do not know if this is a big deal or not. I It was always there until just recently. I do have a new ccm so maybe it got lost in the shuffle. TIA ...
