I have only been doing this since February but I hate it. I have no motivation and my production stinks. How much more time should I give it before I give up on it? I really wanted to try it; love the company I work for, just am not making enough money. I have to admit, though my attitude is terrible. I don't even want to get out of bed and go to work these days anymore. How long did it take for you guys to make the change? I have been an MT for 27 ...
How long is reasonable to get yourself up to speed on a new VR platform before you throw in the towel? I know it learns as it goes, but it doesn't seem to be learning very much, very fast, to me. ...
I'm fairly new at the Q. Good line rate to start (10 cpl) on straight typing, but the account with all that straight typing has gone away and now I'm getting only VR editing (4 cpl) on a different account. I asked to be placed back on a straight typing account and they're switching me to a Spheris Legacy Platform next week. Can anybody give me a clue as to what the heck that might entail? I supposedly have to do some E-training first. Anyone familiar with this platform, please giv ...
I am considering going to school to get a certificate/AA type of training, possibly in MA, pharm tech, or massage therapy, that sort of thing. If you have experience with this, did you run into the "newbie" catch-22 thing where you have to have experience to get a job or can you usually find something right out of school? ...
Which do you prefer? I actually like MT. I find it interesting & satisfying to create a perfect report. The pay going downhill is what I don't like... I'm wondering if I would like coding & would love to hear from former MTs your thoughts on the similarities/differences and pros/cons. ...
I have to wonder if that's what is happening on Enterprise at the moment. Honestly, the OOW is shocking. You can't claim holiday slowdown when the holiday was almost 2 weeks ago, can you?
I always remember 4th of July being slow, but really it's just the beginning of June, so what is this going to be, months of nothingness in the beautiful summer weather, sitting in front of your monitor 12 hours a day waiting for work all day and night?
Sick to death of OOW, sick of flexing all ...
and now when I try to bring up statistics using F9 in Docuscribe, I get an error message. I'm not too computer savvy, but I'm sure it must be the new browser. Other weird things happened too, like I can't read the posts here (Luckily I didn't get rid of my old browser so I am using it now). Other than that problem though, Google Chrome browser is better and faster than the old one I was using (Avant), but if it doesn't work well in DQS, I'll have t ...
I started a VR job just over two weeks ago. I actually really like it. It's on the Dictaphone platform which is one of the better ones, the drafts for the most part are pretty good and I find the work interesting.
My problem is switching my "eye" from typing and reading to editing. Plus, my prior job, which is now a part time IC job wasn't as picky about the BOS. This new one is all about the BOS. The new job also wants all numbers written as n ...
I worked for over 10 years on the same hospitals and then last spring new hospitals were added to my work load. These new hospitals were then moved to a new CCM. Work was plentiful, at first straight typing. All was good until it turned to ASR and now the work seems to have dried up (I think that Indian drought). I'm tired of bouncing around and would like to be moved back to my old accounts and old CCM, no complaints with the new CCM, just want to work steady and I ...
Just switched to the new computer and all my saved reports and normals/templates are not there. It keeps saying user profile failed to update. Is that why and what can I do about getting all my saved normals back. This is awful. ...
I have had HughesNet satellite for the last 2 years. This has been extremely slow and lots of down time with weather. So I was told that Verizon would be much better. Now that it is installed, I am disappointed to see how slow this is. My download time is so bad, I doubt any company would hire me or maybe they would, but with all the waiting for downloading of files, I could never get a good line count.
Supposedly Verizon says they are putting up more po ...
make the transition a little easier? Is it important to be proficient in word or can you just know the basics? I have been hearing that numbering is a real problem. ...
We ran out of TAT last week and I guess our supervisor missed out on some bonus because of it. Tightening down on schedules/hours/procedures for not showing up for work or showing up late were reiterated to us. Guess some took it seriously cause now the work is slim.
Had been getting stressed with having to flex or use up PTO, today I spent the last hour on gardening web sites and looking through seed catalogs. Feel relaxed now and ready to prepare a little lunch and then check back ...
I need to vent about this and am wondering if I am the only one out there. After my initial 2 years of in-house experience, I started working for a company and was there for over 7 years and made 33K a year. The last 3-4 years since making the transition to VR, my pay has gone down to 13-14K a year. That's a 20K loss per year!!! I am not a happy camper. I haven't been in this field for 13 years for my pay to go DOWN! And what makes me the most angry ...
I just switched to Word 2010 and now I need to create Macros. I'm lost. Is there anyone who can help? So far all the instructions people have given are for Word 2007 and it's just gotten me more confused. ...
I have a question. I'm in the SE region where the CTL quit effective immediately last week. Is our supervisor gone, too? She never is good about communication, but I sent her an e-mail 2-1/2 weeks ago which is still unanswered and there has been no communication of any kind for about 3 weeks. Shouldn't there have been a communication about our CTL leaving? Nothing is completed in Schedule Source, etc. ...
Let me first say THANK YOU in advance, because I always forget to come back and do that as I get wrapped up in the next report (or 5 or 10 or 20, etc.)!
I am covering for an ENT doc (I do rheum & ortho) so am totally clueless here!
Doc says: Fiberoptic endoscopy shows some residual pale edema to the right _____ region.
s/l pla-bia, pla-via, cla-via - The more I listen the more I keep changing the beginning sound. The end is very clearly "ee-ah" just not sure of the V or the B. ...
I've only been on DQS since July and still getting to know how all things work. I work in the North region, and today I am getting jobs from an account I can't find in my BOB. This account is in Tennessee, which doesn't seem like it should be in the North. Am I getting jobs from another region? Anybody know if this is possible? My regular BOB seems to be pretty much out of work, but I didn't know I could get work from somewhere else. ...
I think I've been up too long as I was reading the directions for text expansions and dictionaries for this "new" north region being created.
Directions indicates loggin into DocQscribe use new company code and then proceed with copy the above.
I don't ever put the company code in when I log into DocQscribe. I only enter it sometimes when logging into DocQmanage.
Has anybody already logged in with the new company code and downloaded the tex ...
My region did the switch this weekend and so far everything has gone smoothly for me except when I hit F9 it says there are no results (looking for my feedback and line counts). Any ideas? TIA ...
I was switched to new accounts back in March, a group of long-term subacute hospitals with the same name and locations all over the country. HIGH HIGH ESL. Most of the notes barely 30 seconds long, if that. They are the worst money accounts possible with more time spent on ADT than typing because the notes are so short. The ONLY good thing is that I rarely ever run out of work. My income has gone down over 40% since being put on these accounts. I ask ...
