I make in between 18-20 per hour and never run out of work. Hard to get in but worth the effort.

thanks for replies - very much appreciated. sm

I will check this out. Do they hire part timers?

Wondering if schedules are flexible or are there split shifts? - nm / MtMt

Yes, very flexible. - SM

At patient first you pretty much make your own schedule. You just have to complete your lines *I think* within a 12-hour window or sometime that day. So if you know you have 1200 lines per day to do then it would not be wise to start work at 11 pm (an hour before midnight) Unless you are a person who prefers 3rd shift. You pretty much work whatever hours you want at patient first.

Also, patient first is NOT an MTSO and it is EMPLOYEE STATUS - Patient first is...

an organization with a large string of walk-in ambulatory care facilities who employee their own MTs remotely. They have good benefits and do straight typing.

Meant "EMPLOY" not "employee" - sorry about typos.

schedules at PF - anon

Schedules are very flexible. You have from 12:01 am until 11 or 11:30 pm to get your lines, so 23 hours or so. You jump on and off or work it all in a row, however you wish. You don't need to pick any particular hours or let anyone know if you are working at any particular time. You are free to get on early one day, late the next, go to an appointment, get your hair done, get kids off the bus, etc. No need to check in with anyone, structure your day how you like.
When you start, you will need to pick which 5 days of the week you will work. You can pick a weekend if you want, but Monday through Friday is okay if you don't like working the weekend.

I have been there a long time. I get nice employee appreciation gifts and a yearly Christmas bonus, good benefits, and plenty of PTO.

As the other poster said, so worth it if you can get it.

Patient first does most of their advertising on careerbuilder.com

just my 2 cents - ncmt

[ In Reply To ..]
go to their website and search under careers, in the center and admin opportunities and you should find jobs. I didn't look for openings for available jobs but they have several locations, NJ, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, VA, DC, MD.

Patient First what platform - do they use

[ In Reply To ..]
And can you transfer short-cut files from other platforms into it?

Thanks for your help!

don't know any details on that----- - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
if you do a search there is a boatload of information on this company and you may can find out answers there.

platform - pf employee

[ In Reply To ..]
The platform is Word 2010. They supply the computer already set up, so don't think it is able for you to configure or add to, although IT may be able to put what you want on there. What sort of file do you want to add?

Thinking of applying - Starting over

I'm thinking about applying with this company. I just lost my IC neurology job of 14 years. He decided to do it himself. I have been almost frozen with fear, not sure what direction to go in, but I guess I need to start somewhere!

If so, does the version of Windows you have matter? I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop now. I know I am going to have to buy another computer IF I get another job as most require Windows 7 or 8. But I'd like to wait and see if I can get a job before buying another computer, as who knows if I will actually find one. I am hoping I can at least test on the laptop I currently have, which has 8.1. Thanks! ...

I became a QA years ago because of carpal tunnel, and the last couple of companies I've worked for have hired me to QA but never had enough QA work, and I've ended up transcribing most of the time.

I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them. This stupid VR system types whatever it thinks it might be hearing and sometimes doesn't type anything at all. I hate this VR. I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription. I don't know how I am going to feed my children. I am a single mom and the head of household. Believe me the child support isn& ...

I've been working with this company for over 90 days. The first 90 days was a paid internship. Paid hourly, minimum wage. I am now a full time employee...paid on production. However, I can not even seem to make minimum wage while on production pay! It is driving me nuts and is very discouraging. I'm not sure where to point the finger. I worked 8 hours, only took one 20 minute break to eat. Over those 8 hours, according to the employers data base, I did around 1200 lin ...

I have to wonder though when will be the point when accounts go offshore and people are just fired. While people do quit, is it enough to ensure there is still work stateside.

Can you somehow collect unemployment whether you quit or get fired or will you lose out unemployment benefits. Basically, it is a no win situation for us MT's? ...
