Got an almost immediate phone call. Tech set up. Paperwork sent. Start official work on Monday.

I was hired today. The job board says over 1400 people looked. sm - FastFingers

I know that the ad was on more than just MTSTARS because I saw it somewhere else first. I was happy that they still had the shift I was looking for. I have high hopes as a few of my ex-co-workers went to KS and are happy.

I would contact them if you have not heard from them. Squeaky wheel and all that. Good luck!

Hired 5/5 at Keystrokes - Laree

FastFingers, I have seen you on this board before, and I am also considering going with Keystrokes (was offered a position there). Do you mind telling me what company you used to work for? I agree with you -- as my silly husband says, "Squeaky wheel gets the worm!" Also, aren't you concerned about their upcoming change in health insurance?

Transcend. They bought the company I worked for and it has been downhill ever since. sm - FastFingers

[ In Reply To ..]
I am not concerned about the health insurance because I am under my husband's policy. If it were less, I would take it, but it's too expensive. It's bad enough we pay $1400 a month through his for our family, but our daughter has asthma, and we have to have coverage.

LOL KS has NO WORK - StarvingMT

They don't have any work available.

Good luck.

That's funny. My account has been on OT for over 2 months. sm - Long-time KSMT

[ In Reply To ..]
I have heard from other KS MT's that they are on OT too and being begged to work extra. This spans at least 15 accounts that I know of from radiology to orthopedics to hospital to ER.

Maybe the account you're on has not work available, but to say that they have no work is wrong. Have you talked to anyone about this?

Apparently this doctor thinks that the new year coming up is 2012. He has dictated in two separate reports that these patients have procedures scheduled for January 2012 and they are in for their preoperative evaluation now. Either that or these patients are getting their preoperative evaluation more than a year in advance. I wish doctors/dictators could be reprimaned for their mistakes. ...

Dear all, I'm pleased to announce that the 2011 MT Survey is now live. If you remember the 2007 MT Survey, this is a continuation of that (with some changes). In the previous survey, we received 3800 responses, which culminated in the report MTs on the Radar (you can find it at http://ehealthrecords.wordpress.com/publications/). We are hoping for another successful survey. So if you are interested in completing the survey, you can go to http://www.medicaltranscriptio ...

It's very simple and I am very serious: 1. If you are unhappy with how the MT career is changing, unhappy with the new pay (it won't go back up, folks, only down further), unhappy with changes in technolog, etc.: Do something THIS YEAR to get out of MT work completely. Don't feel you can venture too far from it? Do something like coding/billing. Want to stay in the medical world? How about LPN or RN? Dental Hygienist? HR speci ...

I was trained as a Medical Transcriptionist at a two-year college from 1990 to 1992. I worked at a hospital for a couple of years doing radiology, non-invasive cardiology, and neurology transcription, then I got married and moved. Soon thereafter, I started work at a mental health clinic as a Medical Transcriptionist with 12 other transcriptionists. This was in late 1993 and I am still there as of right now. The 12 transcriptionists have either left or been laid off over ...

make a living being an MT? In addition to how low our pay has gotten, and the myriad other problems that we all deal with, if you can't focus, do you think that is cutting into your finances as well?

High IQ (148), labelled as "gifted" in 1st Grade, yet with each passing year did less and less well in school. Looked out the window and zoned out more than I paid att ...

I am training someone and I am now reminded how far I have come, how much I have learned, and the things I take for granted and assume others know.

But it is nice to feel smart sometimes....and you know anyone who can do this job really does have to be pretty darn intelligent. Fello ...

I came across an ad recently catering to unemployed new registered nurses who need jobs badly.

I saw it on All Nurses forum; I don't remember the company . . . BUT a lot of nurses were responding with interest because they can't get jobs. The only thing that was running through my mind was "you have no idea people ...
