Low work, UE, TSM is not smart - Ginger

Posted: Apr 04, 2013

So far this week I have had 2 hours on Monday, 0 on Tuesday, 0 Wednesday and 30 minutes today. Last week I only got 8 hours. Emailed TSM about changing books of business and she said no one is looking for first shift, although I doubt she even asked since she emailed me back almost immediately (which never ever happens). Also, there are some MTs on here who say they have plenty of work, so why won't she send me there? Asked me to switched to late 2nd shift. However, there is still no work for that shift either so why would I bother switching? Also notice that they are still hiring and all my accounts are going to India. Would quit, but why do that when I can just hang on and get unemployment?

I look at all the local jobs in my area and there are some jobs working in hotels, receptionists, secretaries, you will definitely make more money. This is heart-breaking and I see you are struggling and I am on the same boat, but I got terminated 4 weeks ago. I applied for unemployment and food stamps. It takes a little foot work, you have to have your birth certificate and a letter from your HR stating your last day of work, they have to do that for you. I never want to do transcription again. I am going to the job orientation program provided by the unemployment office to see if they can help me find a job. Anything is better than this.

Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...

Back in the mid and late 80s, I was VERY proud to be an MT! MTs were savvy and SMART. In fact, they were SO smart -- or at least knowledgable and proficient -- that docs RELIED ON THEM to repair poorly dictated or hastily dictated transcription. My friend/former boss is a rheumatologist who constantly used to say, "I KNOW you're a deep thinker, so WHY are you a medical transcriptionist?" Until recently, I didn't really understand why he aske ...

I downloaded the trial version of Smart Type and have been trying to use it for the last two days. I think it might work for me but I have a lot of word expanders in Word 2010 that would take me forever to duplicate in Smart Type. Is there any easier way? And how long does it normally take to become proficient in using this program. Right now it is slowing me WAY down! Thanks for any help you can give me. ...

wondering about how stable stedman's smarttype is for everyone else. I have used the program for years, but noticed recently odd things happening. Has anyone else had unexpected things happen with smartype and word 2007. What could I replace it with that would be its equal? Call the programmers consortium who made the program originally, but no one knows anything. Could use some light shed on the subject. ...

I work in Dictaphone /EXText. I am dependent on my Stedman's Smartype for 100s of 1000s of terms with which I am not familiar, and to which I have total access while in EXText. However, I am not able to pull Smartype Smart Blocks (which I have created while in Word but not in EXText) into a current document. In the past, I got around this problem at work by creating "instant macros," going into ctrl-s, cutting, pasting into current document and using as a g ...

The lines per hour are way lower than what my TSM has reported to me. Plus, 5% QA submission rate????? I don't think so. I rarely send reports to QA. Although, the "Smart" report bases the percentage on lines sent to QA rather than percent reports sent to QA as we were told was used for the QA submission percentage. ...
