I am thankful for each and every one of you... the cheerleaders, the naysayers, the nitpickers, the crabbies, the meanies, the helpfuls, the spelling police, the funnies, and the sarcastics.
This site eases the stress of the daily grind and I am thankful to have found you all!
Happy Thanksgiving! ...
In this horrible economy, I personally am very thankful to have a job, good health, a fantastic husband, and a wonderful dog....Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. ...
I pray everyone on this board has a job that they can be satisfied with. I know there are so many troubles in MT and I hope that in some way God can ease the pain. I am so blessed to have found a good job about two weeks ago. I have been unemployed and this one is a true blessing. It makes we want to work very hard to keep it and do my best. I'm also grateful for all the support from this board while I was unemployed. You all mean a lot to me and I hope I can do the same for others. I ...
Of course i knew it would be this way, so have a Blessed Thanksgiving. If you are like me you will try off and on to work (as Thursday is my 6 hour day), but it's gonna be okay. My computer is in the dining room anywho.... (yes, I misspelled it purposely). Gobble, Gobble, Gobble up all the Hugs and Kisses and Love you can, the only thing this Season can guarantee no weight gain. The only thing gained is the JOY in your soul... ...

I just wanted to wish all of us good health, and a happy and prosporus New Year in 2013! I think we all could use a break from worrying, working too much or too little and see a future in medical transcription without our jobs being ripped out from under us through outsourcing or smaller pay. I know it's wishful thinking, but Happy New Year to all of you. MT2 ...
Asked for Thanksgiving off back in September and still have not been granted. Have sent numerous emails asking for decision and still nothing. Anybody else in same boat? ...
Ok so I rushed around like a mad woman getting a dinner prepared to be on the table by noon as I had to be on shift by 3. Guess what No work! What a joke! What happens in this situation? You lose your hours, you lose your pay, you lose your line count for the day? ...
What gives? Some MTs at KS were told there is not Thanksgiving pay next week while others were not told that............Anybody got the official answer? ...
Today on Thanksgiving I ran out of work. The email says something about an account loop. I have no idea what an account loop is. Can anyone help me. Also something about notifying supervisor. How is this different than any other day when you run out of work. ...
I have been working for this hospital a year, after having worked from home for 15 years. They brought their transcription back in-house and hired me and another transcriptionist around the same time. From the beginning, I was more productive than the other transcriptions, but there was not a minimum quota set at that time that we were aware of, so we were just cruising along. Well, the work started getting behind and they started looking closely at the minutes we were doing, and I w ...
I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you guys for being so caring about each other. When the system went down, you were right there encouraging each other. Somebody gave the site address of the Red/Yello/Green status (which I admit I had forgotten and could not get into E-mail to retrieve it). I went to the site and clicked right and made a shortcut. Others gave instructions on what to do for down time. I just think you all are GREAT!!! It is so nice ...
hire on with Accentus!! Not only will they load your PC with junk software that will make it crash (mine has 3 times so far), but they will be rude and claim you abandoned your job!! Very rude staff and the poster below is an owner. I am just trying to warn others. That is my last word on the issue. ...
Can someone help me get a job there? I am a very hard worker, not afraid of ESL, stick to my schedule, QA 99-100%. I just finished the test, but I was wondering how they grade, based on what, because I didn't get a chance to explain things like headings, use of BOS (using mL for cc, is that already expected throughout the industry) or was everything supposed to be strict verbatim? Also, punctuation and grammar now is expected to be perfect, but if it doesn't interfere ...

I am now down to 3 companies (from 4) trying to make a living at this, wondering what I should do next. I'd like to go get my coding diploma and move on from there as I cannot take this anymore. Four jobs and between all of them I got $700 last week and am still waiting for checks to arrive. I asked one of them why it wasn't DD and they said they would cut and mail the check. Lord knows when the other one will arrive. I don't know, don't YOU ...
Nuance actually had the nerve to send out an email about referring fellow MTs to their company. Either they are that brazen or just clueless as to how bad their company is. I don't advise anyone looking for a job to even consider this field, let alone the worst company I've ever worked for. ...
told to clock in at beginning when scheduled. If no work, clock out. Then it states to check back EVERY 30 minutes. If there is work clock in and begin working. When there are no more jobs clock out. Keep doing this until end of shift. Isn't this requiring us to be available for 8 hours but unpaid (most likely)? Doesn't this even go against MModal's current policy on no work available? ...
and the window to request Christmas is about to open, and the new rule our "scheduler" made up is that we can only take one of them, it would be nice if she would PROCESS THE THANKSGIVING REQUESTS SO WE KNOW IF WE CAN REQUEST CHRISTMAS OR NOT.
On a side note, since we can only take one of them, I suspect because she thinks it will make her job easier, that's going to throw way too many people working on completely dead holidays, which will lead to her having to fill out a ton ...
Fellow team members yahoo IDs? Or is it frowned upon? My company frowns on interacting with fellow employees. It makes you feel so isolated though. Is this a common practice with companies cause I've never really encountered it before? This is my first time working for a big national though, so maybe that's why I haven't encountered this before. ...
It is very disheartening to hear what has happened to our fellow MTs who have recently been terminated by Transcend. To add insult to injury they turn around and have an abudance of openings they are now hiring for. I will not apply there and I feel no one else should either. Make them sweat it!
I know it is tough right now and we all need a good job. This has got to stop and the only way these companies won't get away with it is if we don't tolerat ...
I'm totally getting burned out at MQ. If it's not the NJA with requests to change schedule, then it's the lack of primary and getting other unknown accounts slowing me down. I've gone from full-time at MQ down to working part-time with another part-time job to make up lost income now for the past 7 months.
When I started MT'ing so many years ago, the pay was great and being able to set my own schedule was a real plus as well. It was the ...
FT IC Radiology Per minute
0.95 per minute until out of QA
1.05 per minute following release from QA
600 minute minimum per pay period.
Above 120 minutes = 1 and 1/2 x 1.05 per minute
I have over 15 years of experience. I need to know if this can pay my bills but it is hard to gauge without knowing the account (how many templates/normals are used, if cherrypicking takes place, if the account is overstaffed or if there is working during the afternoon shift).

As a former “newbie”, I would like to offer a little bit of advice to other newbies. When I first got into medical transcription, I thought that some of the advice given on these boards was a little harsh and sometimes downright nasty. Without a doubt, there are always going to be some nasty people on message boards, but overall, I think most of the advice given here is well intentioned. Let me explain a little bit of my story.
I was unemployed for about si ...
