Swamp Board question - NE MT


Posted: Apr 15, 2010

I work a split shift and took PTO tomorrow for the second part.  I am available to work a few hours before my first shift or after (because I know Fridays are usually "swamped" in our BOB), but when I look at the Swamp Board (love that name!) if says OFF and does not even give the option of hours available.  So because I took PTO I am banned from the Swamp Board for the day?  Does that even make sense?

I would call your ccm on that. - makes no sense

I love the name too!!!!

I Hate The Swamp Board
Apr 09, 2010

I really thought it would be a good thing, but it sucks!  Can't get any answers on how it all works, can't claim a partial shift, can't see schedule past this week to even swap some hours for later in the month. What a mess.  Can nothing be EASY at this place? ...


A Comment On The Swamp Board -- Sm
May 13, 2010

Okay, so in my experience in trying to be compliant on making up time and "switching" swapping time when I had a funeral to attend.   No problem picking up the times, but here is what happens.   When I have had NJA or something happened which required a 30 min here or there I wanted to pick up and make up the hours.   Well, in theory it would seem to be good; but in reality it ADDED hours to my schedule and kept my original 24 hours per week.   This "swap" ...

New Board!

Sad we have to have a board to address this!  I don't think anything is going to change no matter how much we complain.  Making money is every MTSOS bottom line.....  Transcription services are just following everyone else to India, etc.  ...

I'm Not Sure If This Is The Right Board, But It Is
Jan 14, 2013

It is so very frustrating!  I type for a wound care clinic, and, of course, a great deal of the patients there are diabetic, as am I.  About a year ago I learned from my diabetic teacher that a local supermarket chain pharmacy offers all diabetic supplies and meds for free, whether you are insured or not.   At least once every couple of weeks I type a note in which the doctor says the patient hasn't been able to afford his/her diabetes medication or insulin, and they seem to ...

What's Up With This Ad On Another Board For OB
Jan 29, 2015

You see it periodically, OB, radiology, and something else but it's pretty clear the work will be OB.  The test consists of 3 files (getting this from the ad) and you should finish it in less than 2 hours.  3 files?  How long are the files?  So, my real question is (the other two were thiinking out loud), does this ad get run periodically to clear out the backlog or is it really a legit job and why does it come up so often?  It's not the exact same ad everytime ...

This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession.  It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies.  It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs.  We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...

I have been reading all of the posts especially the ones about grammar.  Maybe I have not finished transcription school or even paid my dues as a seasoned "elder" (I hate that phrase--not being in my 20s myself), but I was one of the 70,000 that was laid off on black Monday back in January 2009.  I was looking for a career that would (I thought) not be hurt by the economy as severely.  I very much appreciate any advice my "more experienced" friends can give.  Even with m ...

Complaint Board
Jul 02, 2010

Just a suggestion but if there are so many people with complaints about companies or their MT careers, etc., instead of getting "bashed," deleted, or otherwise, why not make a forum just for complaints and opinions and leave the other boards to more respectful and intelligent conversations.  Let's see if what I just posted doesn't prove my point. ...


Tax Question, Not Sure If I'm On The Right Board

I think everyone should go to the link below from the SEC  (written 8/19/2009) to read the general disagreements from a board member of MQ.  This board member resigned because of quesitonable ethics, overall (mis)management and questionable financial dealings with CBay.  After reading,  rethink a career and future with MQ. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/884497/000095012309036850/w75438exv99w1.htm ...


Swap Board
Apr 03, 2010

I tried the swap yesterday.  I put in to give up my shift on Friday, 4-9 as doing the Relay for Life walk that evening.  It appeared to take as I had RECLAIM next to my shift instead of SWAP but when I went in today, it said SWAP again.  It looked the same as it did before I put in to swap.  When I looked on the SWAP board there were no shifts up for grabs and yesterday there were 2 on there??? I redid this again but cannot figure out why I had to redo it.  I think it would be great if some ...
