Is that even minimum wage? You must be PT. Either way, that is a horrible drop. Looks like I'm going to pull right about $30 this year, but I'm full time and Tier 3 CMT (not that that matters any more). I started back to school this year because I see the writing on the wall. Can't get finished soon enough! Good luck to you.
FT or PT - disgusted

Man, I can see the changes in the transcription industry (admittedly negative changes) have really gotten us down and we're stuck in a mire of complaints, bad feelings and feeling tired and fed up!

Here is mine - I am thankful that I do not have to spend money on work clothes and ga ...

I just started with an orthopaedic group. I am having a heck of a time finding this test. He says "Negative (open can). Negative drop-arm test." I know there is such a thing as Empty can test but it sounds nothing like "empty can". Sounds like "open can". Is there such a thing?
