QMedET-I set my official schedule M-F but work weekends for extra $ - LPn

They did require that I set a 5-day work week schedule, but I was happy with that since I didn't have to include a weekend day.

Best of luck to you.

I don't work weekends however a typical 8 hour/5 days at Nuance. Haven't heard of any 10 hour/4 days as an employee(been in this industry 15 years). If you work independent you can approach hospitals on your own and see what work they would like to contract out that suits the hours you want. All they can do is say no, right? Good luck.

How do you get get weekends off at Nuance - That is not what they told me

Their scheduling was highly restrictive and more suited to serving inmate populations than talent.

I work M-F, first shift 40 hours/week with medical, dental, prescription, retirement plans.

Nuance's Ambulatory Care side works M-F, 40 hours, no weekends - sadie

There is PLENTY of work, though, so OT on the weekends or at night has been offered of late.

For the non-cognoscenti or new MTs who do not know any better - do not fall for the no weekend Nuance crap

Take off the rose-colored glasses and think real hard before making a bad employer choice. In fact, a new career path, however painful, in the long run would be most beneficial.

What you are promised one day, will absolutely, most definitely change, and it's never for the better.

WordZXpressed, InHealth CDS, and Patient First - no weekends

These companies are very flexible with hours and hire for M-F clinic work.

I knew a girl at WordZXpressed on the account I was on who had every Friday off, and we covered her work, so she, perhaps, asked for that when hired. Don't know 100% they would hire for 4 days, 10 hours, but they may depending on the coverage they are hiring for.

I've never worked for PF but know a girl who works for them, and she told me, as long as you had your required lines counts for the week in by Thursday, you aren't required to work on Friday, so she works long hours M-T when she wants to have a Friday off. That one would most likely be the one you would want to try for, but their test is a beast! :P

I'm with InHealth now and don't know about 4 days, 10 hours, but they have been incredibly nice and flexible with me thus far, so I'd say they would be willing to work with you on that if you mentioned it in an interview with them. :)

Good luck to you in your search!

is InHealth straight type? - ntk

Can someone explain to me why, if I get paid by the line, I spend so much time looking up doctor names, facility names, the local burger joint, etc, but I don't get paid for that? ?? I am going to throw in the towel with transcription and look for a job that pays by the hour. This line stuff is a joke. Can't get up speed or stay with a rhythm for stopping to try to find names of people, places and things. ...

Anyone notice their W2 now actually says Nuance Transcription Services and no longer Transcend DBA Nuance... Last year there were lots of comments about our W2's (all of us, not just those who came in from Transcend) saying Transcend. I even wrote HR to see what was up with that. They never told us about the change to Transcend and certainly didn't mention the change back to Nuance. Oh well. Just an observation. ...

Does anyone else ever have a problem with a doctor/nurse, etc. who sends out letters or just on regular reports who gives no complete names or addresses? We have a place to go look them up but it does sometimes take a chunk out of my time doing it. One or two minutes means a lot sometimes. I have one doctor who dictates letters to "Dr. Smith, Dr. Jones," etc. and there are only about 10 of each of those listed and sometimes you cannot tell what the specialty is to look it up.&n ...

So, this being the most friendly and up-to-date board around regarding MT practices, can I get some opinions about the HIPAA 'privacy rule' and your doctors using patient names in their notes, clinic or otherwise. I am not sure how an HIM department can say to a physician how using a patient name in a transcribed report is not going against the Privacy rule in HIPAA. This kind of stuff just irks me!!!Any comments?? Thanks in advance.... ...

99% of the wasted "down time" I have in my work day is trying to decipher doctor names, patient names, referral names, dictator names, resident/assistant names and I'm literally sick to death of it. From now on if I don't hear the name the VERY FIRST TIME it's said it's going to be LEFT BLANK. No more listening to it over and over and over and over trying to catch the first syllable or the last, or even a piece of the name - I sometimes spend 5 whole minutes PER R ...

When do you capitalize departments? I have been in the biz for 10 years, and my current QA staff is giving me conflicting feedback on my capitalization. One QA manager is giving me errors for not capitalizing, the other is giving me errors when I do! I was always taught that you didn't capitalize the department unless it was preceded by the proper name of the hospital (XYZ Hospital Emergency Department, etc). Also, as far as specialties, how do you handle those? For ...

Am I overly concerned or do you think I may have a point? I think the Word Help Board is invaluable and have always helped whenever I 100% knew the correct spelling. But as I have been reading the questions, there seem to be more and more drug questions from drug lists, which means no point of reference. There are also a few “allergic to: sounds like” questions. When I first started working as a Medical Transcriptionist, QA was always: “Leave a b ...

How annoying is that? There are a few doctors on my account that don't bother inputting the patient name into the demographics, don't spell it, don't give a date of service...they just say a name and start dictating. They do this for every report, and it's been that way since I started working here! I have a rule where I only try 2 spellings of the name to find the patient. Otherwise it gets pended.
