Boy the year is going by fast already. Can't believe it is almost Spring...what happened to Winter, barely any snow at all this year and when it did snow none of it stuck.
thanks - I've got about 6 clocks to reset - wheres_my_job
It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...
is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Like I'm going to remember 6 months from now to ask for my PTO in CST time when I am in EST time zone. MQ is the screwiest company I have ever worked for. ...
I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that. Is it realistic to think that I can complete the course at Andrews or M-TEC in 12 months at the most, work full time for a year and then part-time after that. I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...
Does anyone know what we are supposed to do on graveyard during the time change? My CCM is on vacation, and this is my first time on graveyard during the time change. Any info is appreciated! ...
I started medical transcription 16 years ago - all excited and thrilled to be able to work at home. I made $20 to $25 an hour. It allowed me to stay home with my children and still have a good income. 16 years ago, the starting rate per line was - .06 per line. Which is now STILL the starting rate for many companies. A few lucky old souls out there may get .09 or even .10 a line. However, when I started, all we did was straight typing. No pasting notes, ...
I am in the process of trying to find a new job. I have been working at my current job for 4 months. This was my first job, so I am a little nervous when it comes to giving notice. I am worried that they might try to keep me because, as far as I can tell, they will have a significant overflow on my accounts if I do leave. I really like my job and accounts, but I do not have anywhere near enough work, and the schedule is not working for me anymore. I am worried about what they will do if I try to ...
How long do you think I can get away with "forgetting" to do the 6.1 upgrade? haha! I've taken the video classes and have the codes, but I've been reading so many horrible things that I don't want to use it until the weekend, when I have time to "play" with it. What do you think? ...
I am training someone and I am now reminded how far I have come, how much I have learned, and the things I take for granted and assume others know. Basic things, just proper English, not even taking into consideration the medical terminology. Knowing whether a sentence makes sense or not. We really should be paid better. But it is nice to feel smart sometimes....and you know anyone who can do this job really does have to be pretty darn intelligent. Fello ...
This job has served me well for the purpose I intended. I was able to stay home with my kids while they were growing up and supplement the household income. Now, after being with this company since 1994, I don't want to tier up or become an MME. I just want to do my job and then forget about it. I am at the point now where I really want to retire as we don't need a supplemental income any longer. I see all these new "opportunities" at MM and I just don't care to ...
And tell the truth to unsuspecting MTs, consider it a public service to help people avoid bankruptcy and nervous breakdowns! I mean, really, don't you wish you had known the truth? ...
10 years ago today, I was sitting at my desk working as usual. I get a phone call from my boyfriend (2nd in command of PD here in LV) frantically asking me if I'm okay. I'm like what? I'm working why wouldn't I be? He asked I if had heard anything, to which I again said no, I am working. He told me to turn on the TV. I did and was absolutely HORRIFIED! That conversation, that moment, that realization of what had happened completely ch ...
Can anyone help me? I'd rather not call my abbreviation and definitely don't want to call tech support. Much appreciated and Happy New Year to all! ...
I know I saw a post when the Swap Board first came back as to why it was stopped the first time. I cannot find it now.
We have message that it is not working the way they wanted it to work.
Imagine that. ...
Hey, MQ, Oh I love FRT this week, but after April 2, 2010 all bets are off baby!!!!!
I love FTR. I love it. No really. I do. I like it because, um, it is like a bright shiny star in the sky. Or, um, maybe, I like it because it rolls like a bowling ball!! Yeah!! That's the ticket! Rollin along with FTR, like a bowling ball, like a pool ball, like the big blue ball that is earth, like the round ball classic, like the wheels on an 1 ...
I have to admit, I wasn't familiar with what "Ambulatory" transcription would entail, so I went searching on the internet and came across this PDF.
It is a stark reminder that Nuance is not a transcription company. They are a technology company, a speech recognition company, and we are all test subjects to make their speech engine better (through the thousands of doctors dictating and all of our editing).
They don't want to use transcriptionsits to do their work. They wan ...
If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...
Has anyone working for an MTSO been downgraded from full-time status to part-time status based on not enough hours worked to be considered full time, yet making well above the minimum amount of earnings required for full-time status?
