F11 key, next field

Don't you wonder why when you were in school you were told about how many jobs there were out there, how your income was endless and depended on how much work you wanted to do? I do have a job, not one that I can live off of, I earn about $200 every other week, but still, at least I have a job. I look at the job board and see how many people have viewed each job and wonder...at least it is just not me, where is the work? I wish that when I was researching school and such that they woul ...

I am in need of any help I can get.....I was trained as a medical transcriptionist in the late 80's and transcribed for approx 2 years. I am now trying to get back into the field and needless to say my training from back then is not what employers today want. SO my situation involves some major confusion. Here goes, 1. Schools-----OH MY GOD all of them claim to be the best, all claim that they have what you need, etc.....I am looking for some ...

Been out there a long time. People are either cut-throat, manipulative and shmooze, or your best friend to your face, yet clickish and cruel. (and I SO missed high school) Since when is all of that necessary? Want something? ASK ME DIRECT and if I cannot help you - STOP THERE. Something I said in confidence rub you wrong? TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. ESPECIALLY WHEN I SENSE IT AND FLAT OUT ASK. I'm so tired of the games p ...

is MT a dying field?? i hear voice recogintion will make mts obsolete plus companies are outsourcing work to India. ...

How long do you think MT'ing will be around? I'm going back to school to become a social worker, something i've always wanted to do, and need the income while i'm in school. In fact, today was my first day. Its an online course and it will take some adjusting, but I feel its time. I'm following a dream, MT'ing was supposed to be temporary but it is such a cushy job, who would want to leave it? I think the problem is, there ...

What would be the best way to get into another field? I have been doing neurology now for about 6 years and I am very interested in getting into something else, and really this is the only field I know because I havent had practice with anything else. Im just getting kind of bored with the neurology lingo. If I were to apply for a job that is hiring in a different field, would they consider me a "newby"? Has anyone ever been hired for a field they have no ex ...

I'm just curious is all. I've been reading for months a lot of posts of people who are unhappy, their going to leave, telll their bosses off, they deserve more, etc, etc. It's literally been going on months. I have a job I like, it pays lower than all the people here say they get paid, but I like it. There are times we run out of work, but I make due (and I'm a one income family, so is distressing sometimes), but I like my doctors and my supervis ...

I didn't know what I wanted to do. I was very independent and a home body. I'm also very disciplined and prefer to work alone. When I made more than my friends with degrees, I stayed...I feel like a criminal for how much I got paid for how little I do. Easy money, ability to stay home, no managers lurking over shoulder. We are the last man on the totem pole here in the medical "profession" and we are getting cut out. It was too good to last forever. ...

You know the MT field is bad when even the fly-by-night "work-at-home" make $20 an hour companies don't even advertise for MT anymore. My husband has been job hunting and we've been checking the online job search engines daily. I haven't seen one single ad like we used to see on the matchbook covers. Now they have a different scheme. It's all work at home in call centers and make $20 an hour. ...

Does anybody know the particulars of the legislation that was passed back in the 1950s (I think) that really started our field by making it a law that documentation of health care had to be typewritten? ...

I am going to be anonny as I do not want people to know who I am and call me lazy or whatever they decide to call me. I lost a job not long ago, found another one for peanuts, but am going to turn them down as I can get more unemployment. Plus with unemployment, I know how much I can count on each week. It is steady. I know it will not last forever, but.... I am just tired of the stress and worry of is there going to be any work. At least now I know how much I ...

Why can't it just go back to the way it was? Those of us who have been transcribing for 20+ years are kind of hurting now, or anyway I am. I used to have a service, had no middle men, no corporate people to support. This was back in the 80's, and the only limitations I had were demographics. If I took work too far away, I had to have more and more delivery people, but at that time, there were only a hand full of transcriptionists. Those were the days of "a line is a line", "pica ...

I have been a working MT (IC status) for 5 years now. I am finally making pretty good money, but I have always worked around kids and had to take the first few years slowly. I file jointly with my husband and even had him get more deductions taken out of his checks. This year, after deductions, I was able to get an 1800.00 refund. I consider this good considering I didn't pay anything all year (quarterly). Here is my observation...it seems the the MT field is a ...

I hope you'll watch this video about photojournalists. It's very interesting all on its own, but particularly how the major news agencies are refusing to pay for professional quality and using free amateur photos instead. In particular, I would like you to observe what the expert Ed Greenberg says about how photojournalists are viewed by the news agencies - as "passive and childlike". People who are too timid to protest the way they are being treated. People ...

Unit clerks, physical therapy aides, central service techs, radiology techs, housekeeping...anyone but us? And the main difference is - we work at home alone, disorganized and unable to do anything for ourselves. They know this, and they exploit it. ...

Does this sound family to anyone at all familiar with oncology? Thanks to all who help! ...

Do you use the title of MLS instead of MT? Is that the more appropriate title we have now according to AHDI? Do recruiters or office personnel know what an MLS is or what we do? Medical language specialist certainly sounds more professional to me, a specialist at something, but I wonder if interviewers are going to ask me what an MLS does and I have to explain. Maybe I should just stick with MT. What do you put on your resume? Thanks. ...

After reading everyone's posts about how these companies are always running out of work, but always hiring, it's very discouraging to even apply for a position. I'm currently PRN with a clinic that is suppose to be going EMR sometime this year and I've been out of work for the last 5 days. No work = No pay!!! I got on here to see what everyone was saying about some of the companies out there I could apply with for part-time work and it's just so discour ...

In our speech machines in DocQmanage Enterprise Platform, we can either go to member longin or "About DocQment Enterprise Platform". In DocQment Enterprise Platform it actually states "Solutions include interactive speech recognition for clinician SELF-EDITING" and shows a picture of 2 doctors looking at a computer screen editing. Then go to upper right and open up Duke Primary Care and the case study. Duke Primary Care improves their process with SpeechQ. Rea ...

We are having a discussion on "high-powered field" versus "high-power field." i was taught that it is "high-powered field." Any thoughts? ...

Greetings from the great state of Oklahoma! I have returned to the MT field after many years as a teacher, and have recently re-taken my MT certification (I have a prior 2-year degree in the field from 1994.) I am currently searching for a position either from home or on-site. Any advice? Thank you, Mary ...

Is this a legitimate field of study for a new career in medical language or just another school trying to get money? I am a medical transcriptionist who stopped working to home school my two children. I just do not want to waste my time as I really do not have it to waste. I am trying to looking at various options, currently, medical coding is winning out, but I had seen this on facebook and was wondering what your opinions were on this 'program'. I know ...

This is not NEW but still needed to say... I never had an appriciation in MT field since i joined 4 years back...This sucks or i am expecting too much out of them or is it the right time to say adios to this MT. The way it is panning out, I have serious doubts about this MT field now... ...

To any former MT who has left the field: Have you ever regretted it and wished to come back or did come back? I've been an MT only 5 years and I feel stuck in which career path to go down. Done the whole pros and cons list of WAH versus outside work. I'm thinking that MT is not something I will be able to do until retirement 30 years from now. IDK if it's just a bad day/week for me or if I'm fickle and jump from job to job (longest job at one place was 4 years non MT). Lik ...

I know I have had this before but can't seem to document - packed field of whites?? Can anyone confirm this? ...

I thank ALL of you for your posts. I think it has helped keep me sane. I used to think I was one of the few dealing with constantly changing accounts, 6 or 7 at a time and the worse dictation on the planet!!! I am not a gambling proponent, but I have started playing and I promise you if I win I want to set up something for the hardworking MT folk, and this is hard work. This is no JOKE work. Hang in there. I've been praying that we make it unt ...
