4 jobs in 4 days is not going to pay the rent :-(

Hi everyone:) I am so upset..no work, or hardly any work on all 3 of my accounts in almost 4 days..I don't get it, although it is the end of the pay period, but no work!!! The holidays will not be so merry at my house(: ...

I'm wondering how many of you Nuance employees make about $1,200 a month (ncome minus taxes deposited directly to bank)? And if so, how do you live on that? I'm able to because I live alone and have no kids to support, only a cat. And my rent is only $300 because I live in an apartment in which my brother is the landlord. As such, I'm able to afford all the basic things and everything is clean, I'm able to buy new shoes and underwear and even occasionally go on a bargai ...

Hey out there!! I know, I know, asked and answered many times, BUT, does ANYONE know of a great co.with straight typing, where headers count, where a person can make a great line count like they used to? Does anyone want to earn a sign on bonus?? (That is of course if your co. offers one.) Does such a place exist?? Come in MT sisters, help a gal outð�� I would love to pay my rent and have more than $10 to spread out for 2 weeksð��° Thanks for your help!!! ...

I was determined to find something else and I did and it is still working from home...10.25 an hour to start with bonuses, incentives and excellent benefits....I start training Tuesday... whoo hooo!! ...

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment. If an employer can PROMISE IN ...

Kind of wondering if this last job posting on the jobs board might be associated with one of those "you pay us to find you a job" type of organization. I googled Medical Jobs Online and found nothing stating that are a legitimate MTSO :( ...

I tried entering my ID plus dep on the Fluency for Transcription page and it said my account was inactive. Okay, so I tried twice with Remedy to get it reactivated. Both times I got emails telling me it was working. Tried again and no luck. Am I on the right page, the one with the hideous orange splash, the same one we use to find our stats? Any help appreciated, I really don't want to have to call tech support if I don't have to. Do I even need to d ...

Forget how to look up pay dates - is it on MQ Central? Thanks in advance. ...

I'm on a roll!! Almost out of PTO. No vacation or anything for me this year. BULLCRAP! ...

i'm devastated. forget bills, they don't need to be paid, right? much less food that doesn't need to be bought. ...

every other report is tragic? Tonight I just want to quit, so depressing. I hate doing child death reports, alcohol-involved MVAs where someone dies, drug overdoses where the person dies, attempted suicide, severe brain damage/paralysis from fall, all in one shift, all young people!! Giving extra hugs to my children and hubby tonight. Sometimes I want to go back to doing just clinic work. Thanx for the vent and someplace to take a break. ...

It seems that every dictator tonight has made some sort of mistake or said something that doesn't seem right (mg/mcg, right/left, dates, names, age, etc.) that required extra research through past reports (if your lucky they have some) to get correct information? Or where the residents make you want to beat your head against the wall because they cannot pronounce half the stuff their field exposes them to? Sure, a handful a day is expected, but there are some days where it' ...

This is on the tip of my tongue and driving me crazy! Any help appreciated! "care ax" cream........wart treatment. ...

I'm having one of those days - can't understand a blessed thing anyone's saying! I'll have days in a row without a single blank, and today - barely a report without at least one! I think my so-called "listening ear" has taken a vacation! Think I'll sign off and settle down with a martini to toast the week-end, and hopefully all will be back to normal tomorrow! ...

I am in quite a quandy right now. I have been out of work as an MT now for 3 months due to a layoff. I started off in this field 15 years ago earning 11 cents a line for a transcription company. My last job paid me 9 cents a line. Now I am looking to find a part-time job and I can't find anything over 8 cents a line. Doesn't experience matter anymore or is the transcription field pay rate getting lower and lower all the time? I am shocked, because fo ...

Today I had a 35 minute report by one of the worst dictators. On top of that her phone line is really bad. I did the best I could and ended up sending the report to QA. QA was able to fill in about half of the blanks that I had. I ended up sending an e-mail to my supe to see if anything could be done about her phone line, and if she could please listen to the report. Less than a minute later she e-mailed my back stating that she could hear the report just fine. My question is, how can it take le ...

I am in the South region and have had NJA for 3 days! I have e-mailed my CCM who said work is slow, the first day. Now I cannot get in touch with her and no explanation for no work. I have used PTO and even taken a day off without pay. This has never happened before. Anyone know what is going on? Any answer or help would be greatly appreciated! Anon ...

just above any profession but this one looks good. Back-to-back ESL who gets on late at night, dictates report after report after report, marks them all priority even though they may be for admissions/discharges from 2-3 months ago. He's horrible to listen. Talks so softly sometimes he can barely be heard. Flies through lab results, etc. And, I think I'm the primary transcriptionist on this account. I have literally begged to have this account t ...

For some unknown reason my footpedal just decides to stop working this morning and I spend hours to get it going again. I finally get back into my groove, only to get a dictation that is 29 minutes long with only 4 minutes of actual dictating! I can never get ahead and get a decent line count anymore. There is always something that comes up to keep my production down and shrink my paycheck. I wish we were compensated fairly for times when a dictator keeps the phone on for 28 minutes without ...

I feel like pulling my hair out. My supe said she was going to write me up because of 2 weeks of low line count. I guess she forgot that I used PTO because of NO WORK and on top of that I have been sick the last 2 weeks and I have had to use a couple days sick leave. Stupid me I thought I could use PTO for being SICK. Well enough venting. ...

Can someone tell me how often they pay? Is it monthly? Every 2 weeks? When is their next payday? TIA ...

We are always being told we have 24 hours to respond to emails from our leads and managers, just wish they had to show us the same respect. I asked 1 simple question about an error. I didn't even bother to refute it, just wanted an answer and it took 16 days after 2 reminders. Thank you Debra. I appreciate your promptness. I will show you the same respect when you want something from me. ...

OOW again at the start of my shift!! What the h@##@! Does anyone know if you can collect partial unemployment without taking PTO? I have never collected but seriously thinking about it. ...

and I so don't want to show up for any of those days. ...

I have 10 more days of transcription then I am done. First let me thank Jesus for getting me out of this misery. I've been a transcriptionist for almost 20 years, back in the day with cassetts, C-phones, good pay, communication between the doctors and the transcriptionst, respect, over-time pay, holidays off, etc. You know, I actually had life outside of transcription I found a job doing medical assisting in a doctor's office and I am so looking forward to havi ...

When a doctor dictates a 40-minute job where he took several 5-10 minute pauses, and kept repeating himself, so the job ended up being only a few lines. And the next doctor kept saying "correction" every other sentence, most of the time not making it clear what he wanted corrected. ...

when by the end of your shift, and sometimes after your first report, where even hearing the best dictator breathing in the mic is irritating?!?! ...

Remember the good old days, when we worked either in a transcription pool, the medical records department or at a doctor's office? I was trying to figure out what a doctor was saying in a report and dreading leaving a QA marker for fear of "points"... I remember going to hunt down the doctors in the old days, sitting down to have conversations with them. They would help us fill in the blanks and mostly apologize for not speaking clearly (at least they did at the hospital where I ...

You actually looked forward to getting the PA instead of the doctor because they were so much easier to hear, understand, etc., except for the fact that most of them have no clue when it comes to pronouncing medications and feel that it is above them to spell the medication out. In my case it seems that the roles have flipped nowadays, I absolutely hate seeing the PA coming up and would rather do the doctor any day of the week!! ...

Hi, All. Yesterday morning, about 10 a.m. so, and while working, I started to get what felt like gas pains in the abdomen but onlly from the umbilicus down (it did go all the way across and ended up causing a mild backage - no pain any further. They were constant and unrelenting, No relief. I took to gas pills, wated a littlle while, took 2 more, pain getting worse. I had 3 ways of describning the pain: 1. The (minimal) paring knife pain&n ...
