We also were notified last week that our jobs will be eliminated due to outsourcing. I have not seen positive comments here about taking job with the outsource company. Any advice? 30+ years experience, 36 years with hospital. :-(

Stay with the hospital if at all possible. sm - DisillusionedMT

Even if you have to take a pay decrease, you'll still keep your hospital benefits. And you'll probably still make more than going with the outsource company.

Do you have to support yourself? That would be of prime importance. (I don't have to, but many do.) Our hospital MT dept was outsourced a few years ago. I had over 20 years of experience. Knowing what I know now, I absolutely should have tried to stay at the hospital! But I wanted to keep doing MT, so applied to an MTSO that was supposed to be fairly good and was hired. I had been paid per hour at the hospital, but now would be paid per line, and I didn't realize that would result in a 25% pay drop, plus the first 3 months were extremely stressful, trying to learn both a new typing platform and a brand new hospital account, and working at home wasn't what it was cracked up to be. I stuck it out, but am sorry I did. Not long after, my company was acquired by a bigger company, and things got worse. Pay dropped even more, so now I make half of what I made at the hospital, and the benefits are very poor. I think pay has been dropping in general, across the board -- there is a lot of work going to India and I think that affects our wages here. Everything is about cost-cutting and competition. I haven't tried to change MT employers because I don't see the point -- there are too many variables involved, everything is too unpredictable. From what I've read here, things can change drastically over a short time. Some companies seem well run, some poorly. Some companies care about their employees, some don't. Management changes, policies change, your accounts come and go, companies change hands. Some MTs get good accounts and good dictators, some get terrible accounts and terrible dictators. You just never know. When I leave, I'll be changing careers completely. I'd go a step further and advise you to think about changing careers, if that's possible. It would be a really smart move.

Stay with the hospital in any job you can get, regardless of the pay. You will do better in the long run. Don't just ho-hum kind of apply for jobs, either. Work at it and see if you can get assistance with placement. The income and working situation your facility will have been promised by the MTSO are false.

Also, you need to retrain in another career if you have 5 to 10 more years left to retirement. Consider coding, which you can do in 6 months to a year through a school like Andrews, if you are highly motivated. That would prepare you for hospital coding. Do it now; do not wait until your savings are depleted. See if your hospital will place you in coding or HIM. If they will not, immediately start looking for other hospitals.

We are going to be outsourced at my hospital too though we apparently have a few more months of work before it happens. The sad thing here is watching "coworkers/friends" stabbing each other in the back all hoping to be the lucky ones kept on at the hospital after the switch...

I've posted mine twice in the past...sm - MT_RN

and both times I've been fortunate enough to be offered great positions with a small MTSO. Once was about 4 years ago and the most recent was about a year ago. I was actually offered two positions a year ago and I still work part time for both of these people. It can't hurt to post!

I was wondering if anyone on this board has posted a resume on this board and their employer saw it. I want to post my resume, but I do not want to feel the rath of my employer if they found out or saw it listed on this board. I need my job right now,but I also need to feed my family, and no longer wish to be the MT who is understanding and sitting at the computer all day. So, I guess what I am asking is can I post my resume and leave my name off it somehow? Has anyone posted their ...

This is the first time I've posted my resume, and I have a a couple of questions. Is it important and/or necessary to re-post the same resume every so often? Won't the employers basically just look at the first few resumes and not look further down the pages for others? Thanks for your input. ...

I'm looking to get out of my job in a bad way and my resume was less than pretty. I ran across this site and it was awesome. It's free to update your resume but charges to print or email, copy, etc. But for a cover letter and resume was only $2.95 but will auto-renew at $34 if you don't cancel within 2 weeks. But I did the trial period and got an awesome resume and fantastic cover letter. It's easy to use and fun. Hope this helps a little bit. http:// ...

well our hospital is to be taken over and they will be coming to speak to us individually. There are four hospitals in this system. Our hospital will have no transcriptionists going with Nuance. Good luck with some of the doctors, one doctor says he needs new dentures (people have been doing him for 30 years can't understand a coherent sentence) on the bright side he does correct our work cheerfully, must be alotting more money to other things than his dentures. More work for yo ...

I have a question and maybe someone out there knows the answer. I have a resume which I created on Word. I would generally send it as an attachment to an e-mail; however, I'm finding that recruiters for some reason are requesting the resume be pasted into the e.mail. If I do that, I lose my formatting on the resume and the text gets all messed up. Does anyone know of a solution? I feel really dumb! Thanks! ...
