A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I have been transcribing for 31 years. Hospital laid us off in 2008, went with our contract provider, then Nuance took over her employees. I have been looking for a job for over a year and finally found one. Starting on Jan. 6, I will be working for a local pathology office doing minimum transcription as well as other things, meaning no more sitting all day long looking at a dumb computer. It is 8-5 M-F. They are starting me out at $13.50 an hr. The only problem I have is Nuance wants me to give them an exact schedule of when I will be working for them, as I still plan to work for them part time until I can get some bills paid off. They want to continue to work on SUnday, but that will only give me one day off a week. I guess I will start out doing that, but gradually stop and see what happens. I will be so glad when I can finally tell them "I quit!"
