LETNI - Carol1

Posted: Mar 10, 2010

I have worked for Letni for one year now. I love the work, they are great to work for especially for a new transcriptionist. They start you slow and you gradually go up. They give you back your reports with marks so you can get familiar with the dictator. I started with no experience at all and now can do almost any type of report. Thanks Letni, for giving me and others a chance.

commercial? NM - feel a job ad coming on.

If you are willing to work for 5 cpl, that says a lot.

I now help edit the newbies, 5 cents is way too much when most of them can't even spell simple words. If you want to get started, at least they hire and train you. No AD coming by the way, just replying to ads that no one hires newbies. So much negativity, good luck to find a job if you are new !!!!

If they are not worth 5 cents, they should not have been hired in the first place. So many of these newbies got their "education" from matchbook schools. They are unwilling to pay their dues, either financially in paying for a decent education or in actually spending the time learning. They do not research the "schools" they are going to. Yes, the market is tight, but I know new grads from top schools who are finding jobs. Analyzing the situation for what it is is not negativity; it is reality. As in MT education, and in hiring newbies, you get what you pay for. It sounds like these 5-cent a line people are worth about what they are paid. They need to get with a decent school, really learn what MT is all about, and see how the picture changes a bit. As to hiring not hiring newbies, why should we? We can get the most experienced people, some with years and years of acute care, who can hit the ground running and do not need to be QAed to death. IMHO, too many people saw MTing as a way to have an instant job at home for all the wrong reasons. They were not interested in medicine or in science. They found the cheapest schools and were satisfied with their "training," which, unfortunately, did not in any way prepare them for the real world of MTing. This is not negativity; it is the reality of the situation. Good luck to everyone out there who is really trying!

I agree, too many people are trying to get into something they know nothing about and think they can make a fortune right off the bat. I paid good money for school, researched the school and spent a lot of time because I really wanted to get into the medical field, but it still did not totally prepare me for the "real world" of transcription. I agree, good luck to everyone who is trying really hard. I know how easy this doctor really was, clear, presice dictation now, but when I tested, really was not prepared. I just thank them for the opportunity, that is all.

Just a note, I quickly recieved pay raises and within one year, am up to 8 cents with the company, so it might be small to start, but it has gone up quickly.

Hi, has anyone heard of the medical transcription company LETNI? If so, what do you know about it? I had a job offer but when I asked a few simple questions the owner revoked the offer. ...

I just saw this ad on another MT job site and have to comment. The ad says this is an entry level job and pay will reflect this. Next, it says, "If you are an experienced transcriptionist, do not apply unless pay is not an issue." I had to read it 3 times. Well, I guess at least they are being honest and not wasting our time. And I guess since I work foralmost nothing now, why would pay be an issue? ...
