The text of this post explains why it is never, ever, ever safe to utilize the email function associated with this board. Nuance really wishes this truth-telling forum would just go away, but all they are really capable of doing is blocking your computer's access to it. And yes, they do it even on computers that you personally own, not just the ones they provide. Their favorite ploy is to come on here posing as a very helpful MT and innocently suggesting, "I'm not really comfortable po ...

This job is not worth the trouble. It certainly does nothing for me when I open the "paycheck" every 2 weeks and see that despite my 40 "power hours" every week, I made less than last time. No matter what, I cannot manage to make a decent living here any more. I am over it. Sad to admit, and yes, the shame is on me, but I do wish for NJA or even better, to be FIRED from this place. Just had to get this off my chest before I burst into flames of fury at the horrid qu ...

Hi, everyone. A year or so ago, I read a message by a former transcriptionist who had gotten into medical school and was at last working as a physician. I'm sure it's still here in the archives somewhere; please forgive me for not digging it up. I remain grateful to that poster to this day. Yes, even if she was making it all up! It still inspired me so much. Last month I began work at only the second job I have ever held outside the MT field. It took me seemingly forever to find it, a ...

So here is the text I need help with. An IV is started, she’s monitored carefully, placed in the standard (s/l) left-lateralization*, monitored carefully, and receives excellent (s/l) considation* totaling 100 mcg of Sublimaze, 10 mg of Versed, 75 mg Demerol. The "considation" one could also sound like "confidation" or "constidation" ...

Happened to put on some Jergens original scent (cherry almond, so retro) and was able to do a better job of typing. Anything to increase our line counts, ay, fellow MT Goddesses? ...

Goodnight, God bless! Better days... ...

Saw this on another blog, thought immediately of the implications as it relates to hardworking MTs and the repeated pay cuts we have taken in this industry. Read and weep! www.livescience.com/19727-price-happiness-survey.html ...

Some of these people are difficult enough to understand, though we've got a decent dictation/transcription system. I was wondering if any of you have headsets that are noise-cancelling, or can do anything to improve the sound quality of what you hear? I would like a smaller style of headphones, like Lanier MP-555 style, with the small beads that fit in the ears on a light plastic headset - if possible. Thanks. ...

Wondering if everyone still uses just Google, or have you found something better? Curious to know! ...

I don't remember that yet when I post lately it goes all the way to the bottom rather than immediately after the original post. Perhaps I just never noticed it before. Oh well... ...

Sometimes I'm not sure what to do when they say "post" ... something. I know if it is postauricular (for example), it is attached ... but how about post aneurysmal surgery? It does not seem like it would be attached. - Is it proper to leave it stand-alone or should I change it to status post ... or actually attach it? Thanks in advance!! ...

So... I've been at Medquist for about 6 months - I was a new grad so I only make 0.05 a line (I know, I know, save your comments about that people!). I actually have really good accounts so I never make less than $12 an hour so at least I'm not making minimum wage. But anyway I was wondering if anyone knew what people with a year experience start at and what my hopes are for raises in the future. Surely they can't pay me 0.05 forever, right?? right??? ...

He says "I have ordered blood tests to rule out the possibility of an inflammatory edemunothologic condition." Any idea? I'm starting to lose it!!!!!! ...

I am no where near as experienced as some MTs even though I have been transcribing for 12 years. Problem is, I have only done ortho. When my in-house job went with the service, I went to. Then my work was offshored, so I moved to a different company, still doing ortho, and making better money, about $40,000 a year. Now the company has lost that account and I am unable to go with it. I have been switched to an acute care account (clinic work only), doing VR. Can any ...

Hi, I did do as someone suggested and contacted via email Erin Brockovich, but we have to understand her organization does deal mostly with environmental litigation. I did try and summarize our difficulties and requested if she might direct us to an organization who might help us. In listing our complaints I found they were too numerous to list, and since we are virtual, I was not clear as to whether we could prove some of my/our accusations.&n ...

Well, just quit Nuance. Can't believe I made it nearly 2 years, after being at OSi for 5 years. They sent all my work overseas and there has not been any work there for the past month! After reading many many posts here I thought MT days were over! Then a job came up, I replied and for 2 weeks I have been working for a small local company, no VR, you can copy and paste for your lines (instead of it being against "HIPAA policies" per Nuance!) and what...a local Englis ...

I left an MTSO that started off okay to begin with, but the honeymoon ended shortly after with a barrage of e-mails to speed up, slow down, work more, longer, etc. I didn't realize how much this all stressed me out until I stumbled upon my new job which is THE most amazing company I've ever worked for! The pay is twice what I was making at my previous place. NO ESL, VR, only straight typing. Most importantly, an amazing caring and understanding TL. I am left alone to do what nee ...

Got fired from MModal two weeks ago after 12 years with them for not making quite the minimum wage for my state (one of the highest). I was devastated as only needed to hang on for 2 more years before retirement age and afraid I would not get another MT job after being fired for the first time in my life, but also a little relieved as I knew it would force me to find something that pays better, MT or non-MT. I took my daughter and baby to their pediatrician appointment a week ago Friday and got ...

Too many MTs on an account now that almost all of it is VR and shipped off overseas? Nuance COULD choose to lay us off (honorably) and eliminate a bunch of sassy MTs that have been around the block too many times to be run off with the trickery and disrespectful planted errors (that actually do compromise patient care and encourage medical malpractice claims). Honestly. I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. starts at the top. Stop lying when you acquire these new clinc MTs. They will NOT all ha ...

I am now an ex-Nuance employee and happy to be so. I have found a company (actually 2) that has work available, doesn't demand 4-hour TAT and let's me work the hours I choose without committing to a schedule as long as I do XX number of lines on the days I says I will work. The work I have had thus far has been, for the most part, good dictators, and the QA I have received has been very helpful, not punitive or downright mean, and my pay is punished by it! Keep your heads up and kee ...

Do I have options, or just wait until they fire me (why? this is crazy!). ...

Further down the board regarding TAA someone said they filled out an application online regarding the TAA benefits, and then made an appointment to talk with someone about the situation. Thank you for that information, I feel like I can try again. I advise anyone to read that post and take a different approach. As the original poster said, they have no clue how we are paid and it may make a difference, I never thought of that. One question, where do I find the application? ...

The biggest irony and the best thing we can wish for is that Webmedx gets eat up by Medquist and they lose everything! I was a QA and the editing on those accounts, especially on MModal was ATROCIOUS. Everytime you went to a new report you had to reset audio. EVERY TIME. Their software is the pits. It's no wonder they don't have good quality. The MTs were amazing with the work they did and were able to put out considering the horrible dictators and accounts, atrocious ...

Just wondering if anyone getting unemployment received a letter from their Dept. of Labor. It mentions HCTC (Health Coverage Tax Credit), TRA (trade readjustment allowance and RTAA (reemployment trade adjustment assistance. The letter mentions that I am a transcriptionist who worked for a named MTSO and now I may be eligible for retraining. I'm just wondering if the Dept. of Labor is now getting involved with our cause. ...

Recently, one of our local hospitals opened up 4 full time jobs to QA the work they are getting from their vendor. It seems the doctors were complaining about the quality of their reports. My hope is that other hospitals as well will see that you get what you pay for and that the lower rates they are demanding followed by the lower rates paid to qualified MTs working for companies like MQ results in the loss of the most qualified MTs and inferior work being produced by less qualified ...

I just finished typing a patient - 106 years old - NO past medical history, NO past surgical history, completely negative ROS, NO medications at all. She came into the ER for a tooth abscess! ...

Job seekers board. They are offering 3cpl. They should be boycotted. ...

Like so many of you, I have sent out countless resumes over the past 3 years, mostly with no response. The ones who did respond were not worth even giving up my low paying transcription work. Then something magical happened. I got laid off in mid June. I filed for food stamps and unemployment and was assigned to a person in the UE office called a Career Coach. I met with him weekly for several weeks and he helped me with my resume, coached me thru the inte ...

Hope this post helps with job search. - GoodLuck

I'll add to it - Snow Bunny (the original)

YES!, and actually ...sm - GoodLuck
