after all the comments about the layoffs I guess they decided to nix that option all togehter. you can comment on their posts/pictures but not write on their page.
I have a question about Smartype and I will try to make it so it is understandable:) I bought Instant Text because I had to have some way of moving my Smartype over into Word 2007 (I had Word 2002). I have Instant Text turned off until I learn the new platform on the new company I am with. My problem is this, the Smartype line will not move with the page so when I get to the bottom of the page it covers up everything at the bottom and I can only manually move Smartype by scrolling back up ...
I am interviewing for a job that would be three days in office and two days at home. They requested my salary requirements, and would like to know what I would charge per page and half page for work done outside of the office. I have never had to worry about this before, and I am not sure what to say. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! I have been an MT for four years, two in a hospital and two working from home for different doctor's offices. ...
I am so thankful that I am no longer with MM. I quit in May and it is the best decision I have made in a very long time. I got so tired of the unreasonable hours, the constant changing of hours/days. I got tired of the threats about quality (which is definitely unrealistic), then you get the threats about not having enough lines. I don't have to tell all of you what a terrible journey it is with MM. It is the kiss of death and it will never be any b ...
Okay! I've had enough. I was going to hang in longer but I am now being Aggressive and sending my resume out! I won't be doing MT work anymore -- that's for sure! Perhaps working at the local community college if not for the government. At this point, I don't really care what I do because anything is better than this! WooHoo! It's a AHAA movement for me. It won't be long now. Best of luck to those who chose to stay wit ...
I noticed today that the break pay section of the timesheet was gone today and when I clocked off a minute ago after working for 7 hours that in the "break" box, it said 0.00, when usually it would be 0.33. Anyone know? I know it's not a lot of money, but I usually get about 3 hours per pay period and about $30. I would hate to lose that, cause every dollar counts. ...
I'm told the low volumes are due to the time of the year. I just don't remember this happening in past years. My time sheet has 10-15 entries by the time of the day - this is nuts. Can't take no pay, can't use up all my PTO in a week. Seriously, what are we supposed to do? ...
of leaving out the word "a", this is ridiculous.
Whenever I think about quitting I feel happy; whenever I think about working I feel sad, micromanaged. Life is TOO short. Just my short rant. ...
my new life of not dealing with trying to produce a medical report for a MTSO to look good and make profit. How things have changed in the medical world and it is getting ulgier by the day. The demands put on MTs are totally unreasonable. I am walking away because of retirement and I am thankful I can. I honestly do not know if I could survive under the stress of trying to produce perfection for such minimal pay and know that a MTSO is making as much as me for each line I ...
I seriously considered bagging transcription. But as my child comes in and gives me hugs and my teenage daughter asks what I think of something, I am glad I am available even though the money is not happening. ...
I have been looking for a job in the medical field in my city for nearly a year because I am soooooo tired of being an MT. Finally, I got a new job today! I am so fortunate as I live in a smaller town and there aren't many health care related jobs here. In two weeks I will start my new job as a claims examiner I have experience doing this years ago). Yippy! M-F 8-5, health insurance is free for employees, paid holidays, paid vacation, and steady work! To ...
Dont care who gets the reports to fix them but Im done..Takes too long to look in docqmanage to figure out who algekafhj, PAC is...too long to find you exact wording for your stupid closures...I am convinced that as long as we send them through QA and the doctor himself doesnt have to fix it, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE...Slow their day down a bit, they dont seem to mind slowing my money down... ...
contact them about my current company. I told them there is not a company out there that pays decent wages and I am lucky to bring home $150 a week currently. Maybe we can get ALL these MTSOs to pay decent wages! Finally! ...
for lousy dictators!! I am just fed up with being blamed for the dictator's inability to speak fluently. I am just NOT going to blame myself any longer, nor am I going to shoulder the blame from the MTSO. I am going to tell them talk to the doctors and I do not want to hear it again! ...
I just noticed today that my TL no longer shows up on my comagent. I always keep it open on my desktop and can tell who is on and who isn't and her name is always there regardless of whether she is working or not and then today all of a sudden her name is gone. Very strange. Her email address still shows up though ...
The Web/Nuance part has been told next year we have to buy our own Shorthand license. I know Transcend downloaded for me (and am still using at my PT job) shorthand licensed to MDI way back when. Will we get to keep that? If part of Nuance (Trans/Nuance) gets to have it provided free I would think they could figure a way to let the rest of us have it also. ...
Trying to figure out what you are saying by going through older reports..Speak correctly and normally and we will all get along much better...If I cant train ASR, and I cant, then Im gonna try and train the doctors..I crack myself up, they cant be trained either. Enjoy the blanks guys and gals.. ...
This was in the ad on the Job Seekers board for Rad/Onc MLS for SmartType: "Windows XP is no longer HIPAA complaint [sp] and no longer supported by Microsoft"
Has anyone else heard about this and if so, why is it no longer HIPAA compliant? ...
I went in to try and get an old report from DEP and all I can get is job submission stuff..anyone else? I rely pretty heavily on being able to pull up previous reports for crazy terms and this 30-day limit in Fluency is not cutting it. ...
Yes, I have seen this enough times that it no longer surprises me. There were 18 reports on my primary. I have an hour left of my shift. When I anticipated downloading the next one, all 18 were gone, gone, gone. It is upsetting. I would try adjusting my schedule but it would do no good, there normally is too little work during that time as it is. I already will be taking about 3 hours of PTO for being OOW on Sunday. It would be 4 but I have made up some ...
I know they have until tomorrow - but just wondering if current employees already have theirs - so I can contact company by 1st. By the way, I loved working for them, just had a change in personal situation. ...
Is anyone else having trouble achieving their daily goal since all the work has been pooled together here at Nuance? It takes me hours longer to get what I used to get. ...
I am currently an Exact-Med student. They give each student Speedtype. I had been using it, but my husband updated our Soundcard and then it said that my license for Speedtype was no longer valid. So I had to purchased a new llicense for a "new computer" since by updating the sound card it changed settings on our hard disk. Then we went on vacation and turned our computer off for 2 weeks and when I restarted it, it says my license is not good anymore....don't know why, but apparentl ...
Saince Transcription no longer has a QA Staff. They let them all go about a month ago. The MTs have been divided into teams with a team leader who is doing all the QA for the team. This poor team leader is really doing the QA for nothing, they get an extra 10% on their cpl rate to offset doing the QA, but sounds like that could really cut down your production. The hospitals they type for don't even know it has happened which sounds illegal or at the very least unscrupulous. They signed ...
