I bet if you could find a smart local computer-guy, - he could rig up your PC to a pager - sm

or your cellphone, so that it would buzz you when a job comes in. Then you could leave the PC on, go outdoors and enjoy the sunshine for a change, and be alerted if and when a job finally comes in.

That would be wonderful!! Could get much more done than sitting and waiting - Bummer

I meant keeping DQS open and not on clock. sm - veryveryoldMT

This is what I was told. No keeping open DQS waiting for jobs to appear if NOT ON CLOCK. Yeah, I know stupid hunh... I got my hand slapped for doing it. Course, if you are on the clock and not transcribing, then your production quota will be very messed up.

Keeping DQS open - see msg

We were told to keep DQS open with NJA for 15 minutes, before you can log out and report it.

Yes, 15 mins but not your whole shift. sm - veryveryoldMT

First, I am not a MQ flag waver. I am mad as malarkey at everything. I have been dinged and slapped so much lately Bondo is about to wear off from the old dings on my old chassis.

Now, from how I read one of the posters above, they were keeping their DQS open throughout their shift to wait while jobs trickled in.

I too these past 5 days have been getting NJA at the beginning of my shifts (south region). I wait the 15 mins go in and send a message to get a ticket (not yet totally signing off DQS), then go in to SS and clock out. Then I start to close DQS and a job comes in!!!! URRRRRRRRR ;-{ So, I got one job and NOTHING else on the queue. I just went ahead and said I would try later in the day to get on (evening messing up my family time too). So staying on DQS waiting for jobs to trickle in and then clocking back on, I thought that would be okay, but no I was told that is a NO NO too. What IS THE RIGHT ANSWER!!! And I am still mad as hockey sticks!!!!!!

Need an alarm like when the one millionth customer - visits a store or a nuclear

I applied, tested for and passed for the Accentus STARTeam position. I received a call from HR for the first interview and went on to a second interview with who would be my transcrition manager within hours of the first interview. I was on the phone with her for over an hour. She was very excited about my experience and told me I would be a great fit. It was very clear that she thought I would be a valuable addition to her team and the interview went very, very well. &nb ...

My job is extremely stressful these days b/c of constant threatening e mails to the whole team by our manager. I really don't want to look at e mails anymore. They are making me feel really bad about the job. But the work itself is good and the pay is minimum wage (of course). So I can't quit. I am thinking about not looking at e mails. Has anyone been able to continue working without getting in trouble by not reading e mails. What is the longest you hav ...

What would be the difference in taking a Medical Coding Program such as Andrews or AHIMA offers, versus taking THIS BELOW that Herzing offers. I see Herzing says Insurance coding.

when it comes to docking your pay, and docking our pay is now the law of the Nuance landscape, sending reports to QA, etc. I have seen nothing or heard anything good, including during the conference call.

can somebody please tell me how the QA system is fair? I have pointed out errors and had them acknowledged by the QA person on our team. The stuff is so inconsistent. I am in my THIRD month of QA and I've been doing dictation for 20+ years.

I failed another interview yesterday, and I'm not going to do anymore interviews. When they start asking stuff like, how does your experience as a medical transcriptionist translate to this particular job, I'm stumped. Among other questions. I have started building some other skills (like Excel), but I always end up looking like a complete idiot. So I'm just gonna stick with MT until it goes away and then I'll go to the unemployment office and mayb ...
