Is it hard to pick up radiology transcription?

I went to their website where I tried to follow directions. They make it impossible. They ("Now Transcription") want you to fill out an application through "Accord Human Resources", then save it and email it to them along with your resume. But the application will not allow anyone to save it, or submit it anywhere as is. You basically waste your time filling it out just to find out nothing you filled out will be saved. And there's a huge glitch with the em ...

I'm not exactly new to the field, I transcribed clinic reports for 3 years. After I graduated from MT school (Andrews), I ended up taking a job with a local medical transcription business. Due to some health problems and also the owner subsequently running the business into the ground, I have been away from transcription for nearly a year. How hard will it be to find a job after a year away from the field? Do I have to start over as a new MT? Thanks. ...

It is so hard to get a job being a new grad who hires new grad anybody now? ...

I am a recent graduate from medical transcription school. Yeah, I know, big whoop. Actually it was for me, since I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen. Why did I do this? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time and, like anyone else who has never tried it, I tought medical transcription would be a lot easier than it is. My I'm-So-Excited Factor: I have no stars in my eyes. I know it will be hard to find a job and if I do, I won't make much until I get a lot bett ...

Anyone working at CBS know the by report rate at this company for radiology? ...

Does anyone know of any companies seriously looking for Radiology transcriptionists. I constantly see openings for Acute Care transcriptionists, and try as I might, they want someone with recent experience in Acute Care. Tired of getting doors slammed in my face or no replies. My goodness, I do have extensive medical terminology, what with 25 years of Radiology transcription experience; but obviously this is not enough. ...

I have been a radiology transcriptionist for about 12 years. I am presently unemployed. I have seen an ad on one of the job sites for a pathology transcriptionist with 1 year experience. My question is how different/difficult is pathology transcription. Should it be something a radiology transcriptionist can do, given I have 15 years experience but 12 in rad work. Do you think it would be something I could pick up without difficulty? Any information and input would be appreciated. I have been ou ...

There has been an obvious decrease in medical transcriptionist positions being advertised where I live. However, I tend to see openings for radiology transcriptionists at the local hospitals. Due to the nature of this work and the quick TAT needed, I wonder if radiology transcriptionists will always be in need or if it too will die off. ...

Does anyone have any current information on X-Press Transcription? Pay? (e-mail me if preferred) ...

I was wondering how much per report that radiology transcription job posted over on the Job Seeker's Board is going to pay. Only 40 reports a day, which really aren't many reports. I hope they are going to have to pay at least $2.50 and up per report. I am rather leery, as the amount per report wasn't posted and they pay monthly. :/ ...

It is just me or does it seems as if the transcription third party companies are focused more on acute care transcription than any other specialty. I have been a radiology transcriptionist for over 20 years. The company I worked for decided to eliminate 13 of us F/T transcriptionists since they converted to VR system and they kept a few aboard. Apparently the radiologists are being trained to edit their own reports. That being said, I'm searching high and low for a F/T position for a radiol ...

I read on one of the facebook MT pages (we aren't allowed to talk about specific pages on here) that an MT of 14 years just lost her RAD positon with MModal today. Hope this does not begin another round of layoffs so close to the holidays. ...

I know it's a dying breed, but are there any GOOD companies out there still hiring for radiology transcriptionists? ...

Hi, I been working full time in acute care as an IC now for 7 years and I have been noticing the only jobs for transcriptionists left in hospitals or labs is pathology, sometimes but rarely radiology. How can I go about learning pathology. I been in acute care my whole career, it can't be that hard to learn after typing acute care non stop for this long. Any ideas? ...

Has any radiology transcriptionist heard of a group of radiologists from the Chicago group? I am a hospital radiology transcriptionist and have just started hearing that my hospital is switching to voice recognition on Jan 1st. We have been given very little info. I don't even know I will have a job, if they need editors, etc. Please help. Give me any info you have on this group or voice recognition for radiology. If you haven't heard ...

Just trying to feel out some companies...came across this one. Thanks! ...

Hello all. I am a very experienced acute care MT, 13 yrs in the business, all specialties, ESLs, all work types, etc. I have been wanting to get out of the MTSOs for quite some time. I was recently offered an in-office job at a radiology center for part front-office work and part radiology transcription. I was very clear to them that I had no specific training in either, but they actually hired me. I am tickled pink. I think my acute care experience helped in terms ...

Has anyone ever taken the radiology test for DTS? Is it hard? Any info on the company? TIA ...

Whoever worked for Landmark Transcription recently and lost a hospital radiology account, I am wondering if you have found other work yet?? ...

Does anyone know if there is a code in Epic to jump from the physician provider's box to the transcription palette in radiology. If not, is there a jump code in Microsoft Word that could be used. New to Epic. It makes me dizzy. ...

What would be a fair rate for straight radiology transcription per report for a well-seasoned, part-time employee working every Friday and Saturday from 3P to 11P? Thank you. ...

I do not usually do ORs and am baffled. I am covering for another MT. I am not sure how to type this "running loop O PDS suture". As usual, thanks for all you gracious help! ...

Two questions. Does anyone else have the little screen that pops up and says Editscript has been inactive for 1 hour, will automatically shut down in 5 minutes and then counts down? IT COMES ON WHILE I AM WORKING! I have NEVER let my work sit for an hour, NEVER! Secondly,I had an appointment last week so missed an hour and missed a few minutes here and there enough to be over 2 hours short on my normal working hours. First I received an email (ON MY DAY OFF SO I DID NOT SEE IT) that I must m ...

After browsing around in FIESA, I found what looks to be an instruction manual for the people who audit us and after looking at it, it sure does look like they can pick and choose which reports to audit, rather than randomly. I have also had the worst dictators audited more than the good ones. Of course it's easier to find a mistake that way and easier to keep our pay down! Remember 7 cpl is really equal to only 3.5 cpl if most of your jobs are VR. ...

This in a list of diagnoses. By context, it is a respiratory condition. Thanks. ...

Here's the deal, I'm not saying I cherry pick every minute of my shift, but if I have done one after the other report of difficult dictators, then I will go in and assign myself 2 or 3 jobs to give myself a break. I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this. I also cherry pick if the end of my shift is coming up and I find that my lines need a little boost. I will assign myself some easy dictators to boost up my lines ...

Why on earth have a deadline but then extend it until everyone downloads? Its already been 8 days past original deadline... how much time is needed? ...

Since I can't get the same answer out of my QA, my CCM and others, I guess I'll poll the audience. We DO NOT put the zeros on medications, like 4.0 mg should be typed 4 mg, right? Do we put the zeros on...welll...pretty much anything else, like creatinine 2.0, temperature 98.0? And no, I'm not new. I've been told many different things over the past 10 years that now I'm just messed up, confused and too tired to think straight. ...
