starting DQS 7 today

It only makes me fearful. It doesn't teach me anything except that the losers in QA don't know how to do their jobs. I've let FIESA ruin too many of my days. I'm just going to log on, do my best, and let it go. If my boss has anything to say to me she can call me. Every day I'm applying for jobs elsewhere. When I find one I'm taking it. Not only am I not giving any notice, but when I find a new job I'm not even going to call or sen ...

New account starting up today. Anyone else giving it a shot? ...

Has anyone else at LM been informed that we now have to clock in and out starting today at midnight? I got an email yesterday that there are now federal government regulations requiring us to do so. Fact? I've searched and cant find anything about that. ...

just wanted to make sure i'm getting it in! ...

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...

Hello, I was interested in becoming a MT because I recently became a mom and would like to work from home. Can anyone tell me the best way to get started? Is there a class/ school you recommend? Or is there a book I can study and take a test to get certified? I am financially strapped so which would be the best for me? I currently work in the medical field in the ER as a Doctors Scribe so I have quite a bit of medical terminology. Thanks for your input! ...

I just took the lengthy test for Medquist, though I found it pretty easy. If hired, what can I expect to get paid? ...

Has anyone found it incredibly hard to find a job outside the home after working as an IC for a long period of time. I apply everywhere and never get a call back. I recently lost my job as an IC and don't want to even bother with MT work anymore. I have been spending time online and applying everywhere. No one wants you to apply in person anymore. ...

Nuance is any better than it's getting around here at MM? I see they want experienced MTs rather than newbies in one of the ads, so that would sound like they'd expect to have to pay better at least. I used to think this place was better, but not lately. Does anyone here work for both currently, or even recently? ...

Two drugs under med list: s/l peruvian falsa and locaine 1%... ...

I was just wondering how hard is it to find new accounts in order to do medical transcription out of your home? Just about anyone that I have contacted has the new EMR or they already have someone doing their transcription. ...

I am considering entering into a MT program with one of the accredited schools, CareerStep. For those that have went through the CareerStep program, can you tell me (a salary or a range) of what your starting wage is with your first employer? I am looking for responses from MT that are employees not IC. (I need the health benefits). ...

Are you working harder and longer, only to see your counts going down? What the h___ is going on with this place? ...

I have a question. I was hired on at Medquist and was scheduled to start back on August 23. The radiology account I had been assigned to hadn't gone live yet. I was then told it would be approximately the second week in September. Still no word from my supervisor as to a start date for training. Anyone know of another person on the radiology team I can contact about this. I have no other names except for my supervisor's name and the name of my recrui ...

Boy, Medquist is really trying to get my attention! I tested w them prev. but no luck. Now, I have recd. three voice mails and two emails to get me to retest. I have a job already for $9.30/hr that I like. I have read horror stories about Medquist and seasoned employees there having their pay reduced to basically minimal wage. I got taken in by DIT Transcription for 9 weeks, so I am really leery now about being lied to. What is a good line rate to start out with them if I ...

Hi. I am new to MT boards here but wondering about how one would start a home business. I have worked for companies as a subcontractor but wish to advertise for myself and get some work from local doctors on my own. I would likely need a mini transcriber if I have to pick up and drop off tapes, but how does one do it over the internet? Would there be a way to get it through email set up of some kind with audio wav files that they could dictate to and I access it from there and just type and emai ...

I noticed a few of us are scheduled to start around the same time, December 19, 20, and 21-ish. For those of you who are supposed to start around that time, have any of you had your software installed yet? I'm supposed to start on the 20th and have already sent in all my new-hire paperwork but I haven't heard from anyone since then. I'm just curious if it's still too early to have it installed or if I'm the only one. In case it makes a difference, ...

I see they pay 7-10 for ST and 4-6 for editing. Better than what Nuance pays. Anyone currently working there? ...

or just that of a few companies out on an anallimb, because after many years in the buisness, this the first time it was asked of me -- to get my IDs witnessed and notarized. Just wondering what's up with that? Overprotective or wave of the future? ...

If you don't like those panels on the side of your text screen showing, you can drag the right and left margins of text screen to widen the text screen. You can also drag the upper and lower margins. You can enlarge the size of the font and change the style of the font (which only will change it on your end, not the client's end). I am not in the program right now, but I think it is under Tools at the top, then click on the tabs to see which one has the font ...

Did the training today. Was he speaking Greek?? I don't think I'll ever remember all of that. ...

I am wondering if anyone can give me any advice on how to start my own business. I am tired of working for 5 cents a line. This is below minimum wage. I did get in touch with Transcription Gear and they gave me a lot of insight on the equipment I would need. I am looking for info here on what is a fair price per line or page fee and also how to market myself the right way. Any advice would be appreciated. ...

I have a full time employee position wtih another company. Beginning Sept 3, I will start IC for 3 days out of the week for 3-4 hours. It pays 0.09 cpl with spaces using DocQscribe. I figure in 3-4 hours I will probably do 800 lines as I will probably work 3 hours. Being that it is late in the year, do you think the extra income from Sept to December would make a huge difference in my taxes, or should I send taxes in to the IRS, and will I have to file as self ...

I'm so tired of working for pennies a line, worried about getting laid off, etc., and want to take control of my own destiny. SO...I'm looking at trying to get some clients of my own. I need advice on what I would need to get started. I know I need a business license, a PC of course, got that, business cards, references perhaps, got those. What I really need to know is what is the best way to actually perform the work - do you use old fashioned dictation equipment, tapes, o ...

I saw an error today that I just know I would not make. It was very simple. I really think there are some spiteful QA people. They are mad while they are checking these dictations or something. The things they count off for!! The "mistake" was placing a too instead of a to. I am super OCD about that. ...

Just typed a report where it was stated "it will be some time before the patient is ready..." ASR put "it will B some time B 4 the patient is ready..." ...

Hello everyone! I finally made the decision to go to school for either MT or coding. Then I found this site. After all the research from other sources and especially comments on this message board, I am steering towards coding. Since I have absolutely no background in medical, (I'm currently a legal assistant), I was wondering what the thoughts were on someone starting from scratch. I noticed most going to Coding are coming from Transcription. Do I even have a chance? Also, I've seen ...

Trying to keep this clear and concise as possible. I WANT to fight this sweatshop treatment they are giving us. I need some help, like names of lawyers that supposedly handle MModal or have handled them in the past. I have a "Jane Doe" email. If you want, and I suggest you do, set up one for yourself and then email me. Never can be to sure who is who on here. My son is the business school graduate that says this is an unrealistic goal for errors. It is the standard set for factories and it ...

As an experienced MT, would you take a job that started at 7 cpl? I don't know if this is the norm now, but I have interviewed for 5 jobs this week, none of which have offered more than this. One of the jobs sounded great, but I am terrified to take it because of this 7 cpl offer. She said there was no wiggle room, so I can't ask if they'd consider going up a little. I have 10 years of experience and have been at the same job for 8 years. Other than considering going off on ...
