Hoping for no MOT next week

I have Windows XP on my computer. My boyfriend has his kids every other weekend and a couple times every week for visitation. We caught his oldest son (12) looking at some, uh, BAD sites last time he was here. I have set up a separate account to be used by the kids when they are here that gives them limited access (no downloads, access to files, etc.) but when it comes to the internet, it's a nightmare!! I have changed the internet security settings, but it seems that changing ...

After waiting for what seems forever, I finally get a phone call yesterday for an in-house job interview at a local hospital here doing transcription. I cannot WAIT to get away from the pickiness of QA, ALL the acct specs, MTIs and WORST DICTATORS IN THE WORLD. I PRAY I get the job. Full time with full REASONABLE benefits! no more 0.04 cpl or 0.08 cpl! ...

Ah well, we all knew it was coming. It is true though, lots of companies do Ch. 11 and come out better than before. This is me hoping MM is one of them. ...

That any large American company that has sent its work overseas would bring it all back and become a "hero" company by doing so, which would garner a lot of press for them, create improved morale across the board, and would hopefully see increased sales and jobs if the American public bought their product over something they could get at Walmart cheaper. This would hopefully trigger copycat companies who want to get in on the act, and maybe we might see a return of jobs to this country. ...

My lunch hours are proving to be quite productive. Applied to 4 jobs in 2 days. I am so HOPING that at least one of these pans out because I have had enough of this BS. Cherry picking at its finest going on. I have had nothing but the bottom of the barrel since Saturday. My lines also seem lower than usual no matter what I do. Sick of being robbed by these <insert choice of profanity here>. I can't wait until I can breathe, sleep and just over ...

I am currently a full-time MT. I am hoping to get out of the field completely soon. I have an RN license, I put nursing on hold to raise my kids and enjoyed doing MT while they were little. Now money is extremely tight and I know I can make much more doing nursing. However, I am terrified of going back. I have done the same thing now for 15 years, and it is SOOOO hard for me to change! Can anyone who has gone through this give any suggestions of how to get bac ...

Way to go Nuance! I had actually hoped we'd at least get copays this time, even if it meant paying more. Disgusting. Plain and simple. Having insurance that you can barely afford and can't even use because of the obscenely high deductible and no co-pays is ridiculous. This year is even more special - we are signing up for something we don't even know that we can afford because of the compensation changes they have promised. I am going to check into opting out a ...

I have been a very successful MT (mostly) for over 18 years, building up my experience, my abilities with ESL and difficicult dictators, constantly growing in knowledge, and each time fought to be careful with which job I chose and to better myself each time. Okay, I know things are tough, but I just read something really ABRASIVE AND SAD. An ad that touts loudly "ALL STRAIGHT TYPING" "YAY"!! Very celebratory. Next line----and this is for experienced ACUTE CARE -- 7 cpl. I made that back i ...

I have been part time with Transcend for over 5 years now and no health benefits and now they are having open enrollment. I thought Nuance would take that over and give PT people health insurance. I guess that was being too hopeful, right?? ...

Hoping to start a nursing program. I am 35 and have been a medical transcriptionist since graduating from high school. I would like to eventually obtain a Master's in nursing. I have been planning this for a while (almost two years), but I've been really nervous, so I have kind of put things off. I think one thing I'm nervous about is it is my first time going to college. I was trained for medical transcription at a technical school while still in hig ...

Hello all my fellow transcriptionists! I love this board. I have been coming here and reading most of the messages here for many years now, even though I haven't really been a 'medical' transcriptionist for about 4 or 5 years now. I love all your comments, feel for you when you share your frustrations, and gain insight into the changes that have continued to happen with medical transcription (in particular, with the MTSOs). I am heartbroken for the many of you that are work ...

I guess I need to come up with a new name, huh ? :D ...

but from the posts, I can see that everyone else is in the same boat I am. I can only agree that this is the lowest paying MT job I've ever had and that the constant haranguing about working extra over the weekends is completley annoying. I worked for 5.5 hours for Nuance the other day and made $47. I then worked for a private client for 2.75 hours and made $82. If only he had more work for me! Unfortunately, I'm expecting him to go on the EMR this year an ...

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week. I appreciate you. I appreciate your kindness when I have a rant or a rave, when I'm at my wits end with the constant changing around of clients, client profiles and the never ending dings being thrown at me. I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game. We are treated as less than second class citiz ...

Does anyone know when pay will be distributed this week? A big deal seemed to be made about getting payroll in quickly, so Im wondering if pay will be released before Thursday or if its just going to be Friday as usual. ...

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...

Does it now vary from week to week? I used to always know exactly what my PTO was and could calculate it but just noticed that it varied from one paycheck a couple of months back to this past week. How is this now figured? So confusing ...

This would involve a "5-week long" treatment to the breast. ...

I've never heard of National MT Week. Been doing MT for 10 years for the same MTSO. Never came on to MT Stars until about the last six months. Obviously, I have never gotten anything for MT Week, so at least some of you are lucky that you do get a little something, whatever it might be. My MT job just keeps getting better and better (NOT) with pay decreases and work lost to VR. ...

I am kind of lost in the pay dates for the next pay day on Friday. Could someone tell me what days we are getting paid for? I though it was for 2 weeks starting on the 1st and ending on a Sat. Is that the way they do it now? Thanks guys! ...

Who is the company that pays every week? It was just on the job's seekers board, but now I cannot find it. Any info would be helpful. I would love to get paid every week. Thanks ...

I'm trying to finish out my notice and will have to force myself to turn on that stupid computer in the a.m. May not be finishing out because I am not going to be strapped down waiting for piddly crap to come my way every 45 minutes. I just keep wondering what the patients would say if they knew their records were going to India just to save a few bucks. I'd love for some news media to pick it up and ask that very question. ...

ASRopoly. ASR: pyelogram, grams dictated: 5 mg Just one of 1200 mistakes to be edited in a 2-minute report. Words added, words left out, wrong words, almost right words, wrong gender, wrong verb tense, no punctuation, punctuation everywhere . . . . . . . ...

I have NJA again. Getting tired of this. ...

Are they going to fire me? And is it true that they can remotely go into my computer to see if I'm working or not? See what websites I've been at? ...

I should know this one, but don't come across it all that often. According to Book of Style, is it "notify me in a week or two" or "notify me in a week or 2"? Thank for your input everyone. ...
