Things that make you go hmmm - anon

I too wondered about that. Strange things are happening.

here's something else to think about. Maybe the 2 big MTSOs have gotten on the board and wiped everything out. Everyone and her sister has been on here since Thursday about mass layoffs. They know we come here.

It kind of surprised me when someone who was allegedly a PA posted here. I suspect this forum gets a wide variety of visitors and I have no doubt the MTSOs patrol here regularly. We know they come here too ;-) so we should act accordingly.

Alleged PA - and still an MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I expect the "alleged" PA you mentioned is me. I am an actual PA. I had a good career in an industry not related to healthcare, from which I am retired. About 12 years ago, while I was still working in that job, I was offered the opportunity to do MT part-time by a friend who needed some help. When I retired from my day job a few years ago, I became bored and needed a new challenge. It occurred to me that I am at least as smart as the PAs whose dictation I was transcribing, so I applied to a PA program and was accepted. I completed the program somewhat over a year ago and now work for the VA managing research projects.I continue to do MT part-time because my hobby is investing, and the MT income gives me more money to invest.

So, you see, there is nothing sinister about a PA visiting this site if the PA is also an MT. But you can cling to your conspiracy theories if they give you comfort.

Don't let the naysayers get you down. Most likely they are motivated by jealousy. It's much less work to throw stones at someone who has made positive changes than actually get on the path to make positive changes oneself. Just sayin. Don't let them bother you.

Slim pickens PA - TinPanSally

Not to be facetious but the monetary value of your labor with which you use to "invest" must be pretty miniscule to the point of diminishing returns.

Pickings not slim - at all

[ In Reply To ..]
I generally net between $700 and $1100 a month from my part-time MT job. To me, that's quite a respectable amount to supplement my regular investments. Of course, if your net worth is in the Warren Buffet range, then I can see how you would consider it insignificant. My net worth hasn't quite reached the significant level yours no doubt has, so I am quite happy to have the extra $12k or so per year to invest.

So glad you are not my financial adviser. This PA sounds like she has a sound financial plan. How many of us can say that we have 12K a year to invest? I would say she is a very smart person.

Thanks Nick! - PA-C

I'm sure you're right about the disparaging comments coming from people eaten up by jealousy at someone else's success but unwilling to make any effort to improve their own lives.

Good luck with law school!

Thanks! I'll need luck--so much studying. I thought about medicine, but know I could never pass organic chemistry. :)

Do you ever come to this website and see what you think would be the perfect job for you and then realize it has had over 100 views so far and think to yourself that you don't stand a chance if you apply because so many have probably already done so? Sometimes I feel like I need to stay on this website and refresh my screen every minute just to catch a break. How does one stand out and actually get these positions? Do you have to be among the first to reply? ...

When I first log onto MT Stars and go to Job seeker's board the last thing it shows is an ad for a radiology MT from towards the beginning of November. Then if I go into forums and then job seeker's it shows the last job posting as 11/30/11. I was just curious if that is right and pickings are just that slim or if there might be a problem with the site. ...

Just checked out the job seeker's board and came across someone willing to work for 5 cents per 65-character line and 7 cents if the audio is poor quality. I just cannot believe someone would ADVERTISE or SELL themselves to work for such a low rate of pay, which probably would not even equal to minimum wage!!!!!! If you want to get screwed do not advertise, just go to work for a few of the national MTSOs that do not have a good reputation on this board!!!!!& ...

I see that Transtech is hiring once again for oncology. I would like to know if this account has enough work and what the percentage rate of straight transcription versus VR would be. Are there a lot of ESL dictators...don't mind some but really do not want to get stuck with 90%, so if you have any knowledge of this account, please let me hear everything you like or dislike, please. Also, what do they pay for a seasoned oncology transcriptionist, fair, low or hopefully bet ...

There's a posting by Blair's Transcription Services. First, I can't even find this "company" on the internet to verify it, and second, they're requiring the purchase of a C-phone. I'll admit, I didn't know what a C-phone was, so I looked it up. Those things are about $900 each!!! If they're wanting me to spend more money on an instrument to receive the dictation than I did on my fully-loaded computer, they need to offer a heck of a bette ...

Be careful of responding to the post by Mike Witkowski - a few years back he pulled this same type of thing with needing transcriptionists "right away" - the whole process was very shady and then he tells you that you don't meet his "requirements" after you transcribe a test.....just a head's up. ...

That was offering part-time acute care work for ICs. Almost immediately after I applied I received an email from them stating how interested they were in me and asked that I fill out their questionnaire. Only a one page deal so I started filling it out. Down at the bottom it asked what my salary requirements were and even though they posted up to 9.5 cpl I placed 10 to 11 cpl, taking into consideration 25 years experience and it is an IC position. The next portion of this ...

Anyone have any information about Metropolitan Psych Services? They have an ad on the Job Seeker’s Board. It says they are in New York. Goggling “Metropolitan Psych Services” comes up with nothing. But when you Google the listed Email address, it shows they had a similar ad on the Job Seeker’s Board in August of 2010 and claimed to be in New Jersey. Same Email address so I assume it is the same company, although no company name was listed in ...

Just like in these forums there are a few who dislike everything whether they like it or not. One job posted as "Easy OT and PT work" pays .08 for the GROSS line which is significantly higher than the character line. Are there people who don't know this? In other words you would be making the equivalent to .10 of .11 CPL on this job, yet 3 had to dislike it. What did you dislike about this? Don't you want to discourage low pay and encourage a job that ...
