Transcription experience but looking for entry level MT

Hi everyone. I am a recent graduate from Rasmussen online college with a 2 year degree in medical transcription. I just graduated in September. I did land a very very part time homed medical transcription job in mid November and was let go in January because the lady I subcontracted for told me she needed me to be perfect within 2 months and I wasn't delivering the kind of perfection she needed. I kept reminding her that I had 0 medical transcription experience before my education training ...

Hi all, Just a quick question. In all your years of experience, what would you think would be a fair starting pay (hourly please) at a smaller acute care hospital doing varied types of jobs? I do a lot of typing for the actual hospital, the two clinics (one inside the hospital and our satellite clinic in another town) and physical therapy. I do alot of transcription but I also have a lot of other medical records duties as well that I have to balance. I do ...

Hello, I am a new MT looking for entry-level work. Is there such a thing? Is there a new law that requires a minimum of 1 year experience as an MT? Please help. If anyone knows the answers to my questions, please post them. Thank you ...

Also would not get my first paycheck for 60 days. Does that seem fishy? They also want me to sign a no competition contract that I will not seek employment with another company that could be considered competition for 3 years. Is that normal? ...

I was wondering if anybody knew of any companies that hire entry level coders. I went to school and got my CCA certificate, but have never done coding in a clinical setting. I'm also a medical transcriptionist with 20 years experience. ...

I am new to M.T. Does anyone have any great advice or know of any companies that hire entry level mts ...

Okay, here's the situation I am in. I graduated school in 2008, but i got hired before I even graduated and I have been transcribing IC for a local family practice for 3 years. Therefore, I have school + 3 years experience, just not in a hosptial or acute care setting, which seems to be everyone's requirement! I noticed someone said Spheris hires newbies so I checked out their site. For the new graduates, it says you must have graduated in the past 6 months or within the past year and ...

Yes, current graduate of Stratford Career Institute with a diploma in Medical Transcriptionist, having a hard time finding entry level work--any suggestions..?????I am a Certified Medical Technologist as well..I need part time work at home for now.. ...

Feeling frustrated and seeking advice. I graduated from Career Step with Honors but can't find an entry level position. I am hoping for flexibility and ESLs are not my first choice for transcribing, but beyond that I am very flexible in what I am looking for. Any suggestions of where to look?!? ...

Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated regarding the salaries for a data entry clerk versus a transcriptionist. Should a transcriptionist's pay be less, the same or more than a data entry clerk, and if you feel it should be more, how much more? Thank you for your comments. ...

It seems that more and more companies, including some hospitals, are paying per line but then expecting you to do data entry, which of course you are NOT paid for. Just a few examples: Acute care on Dictaphone ExText/Word Client -- faxing, etc. McKisson -- Looking up and changing orders for radiographic studies Rad job posted here -- Entering patient demographics If an employer expects me to sit there and do data entry -- which has NO shortcuts -- IN ADDITION TO transcibing, then they' ...

During a lull in my workload (Happy New Year!), I googled Wiki's take on our profession. I have to say I'm impressed with the description--pretty much every aspect of the evolution of medical transcription is covered, even the negative turn of events (VR, pay cuts, etc.) in recent years with regard to us MTs being unappreciated-and underpaid. Thought you guys might want to check it out if you haven't already. ...

Really? You're going to offer $21 an a/h when it takes 3 to 4 times the dictation length to complete a report? That equates to LESS THAN THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE - BEFORE TAXES!! People PLEASE do not accept this!! Even if you are a newbie just starting out in transcription the absolute MINUMUM you should accept is $40 an a/h! What CLK is offering to pay is equal to off-shore wages. General transcription is not difficult at all - far easier than medical, but it ...

I am a new graduate and need to find a job! I am also new to this site. I got the site info from a friend that has been doing transcription work for many years. She has given me some leads, but as of now, nothing! It appears that most of these companies wnat 2 or more years experience. Does anyone know how I can start and get some experience? I suppose in anything and not just medical. Experience in transcription is experience, right? ...

Hi, Has anyone ever worked for DIT transcription or is anyone currently working for them? If so, can give me your experience with them? thanks! ...

After a few days of arguing back and forth with my CCM about feedback issues, audit keeping me from earning full pay, inconsistencies, I finally had a conference call with CCM and QA sup as well. I was angry, admittedly, wanted and was demaning to be taken off 100% for silly "critical feedbacks" (doctor clearly says "if" and you typed "is" CRITICAL FEEDBACK???.) Asked how in the world us MTs can be faulted for cruddy ASR and/or dictator problems! (no answer) Asked if eith ...

Anyone have any experience with TTS? It seems like reviews for all companies are pretty much the same and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. ...

Anybody ever hear of these people or have experience with them? Their ad says they have plenty of work but can't find anybody to help. That right there set off warning bells. ...

Anybody have any experience with Landmark Transcription, good or bad? ...

I have become pretty miserable/bored lately. I know its the job itself and I know what the future holds for it, but I can't go back to school right now to try to further my education for something else because I homeschool my kids and that is my first priority. MT is just part time. I've been MT'ing for close to 15 years and have never done any other transcribing. I was just wondering if I wanted to venture out of medical and do general transcription w ...

Has anyone had any experience with The Transcription Doctors? Thanks. ...

Does anyone have any experience with USA Medical Transcription? I've read a couple of bad things about them. I don't want to apply to anyone who will treat me like I have been treated. I'm SO close to getting out of transcription and I'm a damn good transcriptionist! ...

Based out of LA. Appears they do both general and medical transcription and you must have a list of software. Looking for info on rates and whether the company is good to work for i.e., nice people who treat MTs with respect like we should be treated and communication. Thanks! ...

Anyone have experience with Precyse transcription? How flexible are their hours, cpl rate, etc.? ...

Wondering if anyone has any helpful information regarding We Type Transcription. Thanks ...

I had never heard of them before, and there do not seem to be many posts in the archives about them, but then again, maybe that is a good thing. Generally, you hear about the bad companies (which I realize is subjective), but not always about the good ones. Any information is appreciated. Thanks. ...

Has anyone had any experience with this company? I sent my resume for a job posting and was contacted right away. The fishy thing (to me anyway) was that they didn't even want me to TEST for the position! What is that about? EVERY MT position I have EVER been a candidate for has wanted me to test. But nope, I had a phone interview and the next thing I know I am being offered a position. RED FLAG? ...

I've searched the archives and come across ALOT of bad reviews on them (and a few positive ones here and there) but most of them are over a year old. I'd really like to get some views from MTs that currently or very recently worked for them. I know many companies have changed hands in the last year so things may be completely different now compared to 1+ years ago. Or maybe not. That's what I want to find out. I already know what thier payscale is, but I would like to know ...

I have been transcribing for 30 years mostly orthopedics. I want very much to do acute care transcription. Does anyone think I have a chance to get into it? I feel as though I am at a dead end if I don't do something different to further my career. I feel very qualified to do it. I took a good course from AHDI with cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, and surgeries through Oak Horisons. This was a very well-rounded course and covered everything involved. Thought maybe someone m ...

My neighbor calls me to help her get through the test for the company..Im like really,, if you cant get past the test how the heck are you going to do the job..No I wont help you..Im afraid she used me as a referal and no way would I refer her...A 6-month LPN course doesnt make you a transcriptionist, obviously, since she needed help with the practical part of the test that can all be googled anyway...So tired of people thinking because we work from the house that we are idiots and just typ ...

Not the OP, but I assumed this is what he/she means - PixMT

don't understand what is not understandable here. - she is perfectly clear to me. NM

Faith, your content is clear enough. :) Don't do medical. - Work is very unstable and low pay, supply
