Curious - about how much per hour do you make

I know none of us get paid by the hour, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever figured out just how much you earn per hour, based on a 40-hour week. I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in. I seem to be earning $16-18/hour give or take based on how my week goes. ...

Just out of curiosity - figure out what you make per hour doing VR. I am looking for like $15/hr or whatever. Then put that into the context of how much you make per hour doing straight transcription. I don't want your name, your company or anything about you personally. I am just curious to compare what people make doing VR paid per line translated into how much that is per hour. Thanks for any help. ...

Since we were acquired by the big N, "We" are on the old platform, not Dragon. I don't get any reports that have templates or normals. The account has thousands of doctors. This is as much as I can possibly make under these parameters. So running our "salary calculator," it comes out to $8.50 an hour. I was making twice this 2 years ago for same company before it was acquired. ...

A lady I have talked with wants to train in this kind of work and is planning on going to Andrews. Would she be making at least $30.00 an hour when she gets a job? Thanks. ...

If you complain about this editing stuff you get told just be glad you have a mess or you would not have a job. I had to retype a 15 minute editing job because the editor decided it was doing an exam for an obstetrics patient and it should have been for a neurosurgery patient. How many times have you found a uterus in the brain? I would not advise anyone to apply for their jobs. You will just get treated like dirt and they do not care if you make any money or not. ...

Hi:I am make incentive based on minutes, but I work on a system that lets me check how many lines and minutes I have typed in a day also. Just in case I have to get another job based on lines, I wanted to know what is the average amount of lines per hour or per 8 hour shift. Thanks for the advice in advance. MeL ...

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour. I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl. The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years. The other is an IC position. Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate? I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...

I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them. This stupid VR system types whatever it thinks it might be hearing and sometimes doesn't type anything at all. I hate this VR. I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription. I don't know how I am going to feed my children. I am a single mom and the head of household. Believe me the child support isn& ...

would actually like working over-time on an every single week basis, not just occasionally, but EVER SINGLE WEEK, cutting into your life and trying to plan things around this extra work. I wouldnt mind once in awhile, but weekly mandatory is killing me. Opinions welcome! ...

internet search engine. I have found that Google is causing serious slow down of the computer since upgrading to 6.1 and wondering if this could be the culprit of the problems with 6.1 as when I switched from Google to other search engines I am not having the slow DQS 6.1 problem. Support suggested this when they tried to fix the problems I was having. I want to know what others have found to be a good search engine for MT other than Google. I don't know why Google would have any ...

With FTR still in play and all the other requirements made of us highly-paid MTs, when ASR 4 cpl goes into effect in February, does that mean 3 cpl would still be deducted if our "performance" had to be improved? Would that mean 1 cpl or, as an example, if an MT produced 1000 ASR lines in one day, would that MT make $10 for a day's work? TIA ...

I have always worked as an employee and about a month ago went to work as an IC, however, the company has now gone under and was wondering since I was an IC at the time, does that mean I cannot get unemployment or can I qualify because I worked as an employee up until a month ago? Thanks for any advice. ...

If you had access to an education in any field of your choice and wanted to completely leave transcription, what field would you choose? (This is not a trick question, just something I have wondered about. Me, I would choose engineering.) ...

Are there any Andrews MT grads out there who cannot land a job, feel unprepared for work, or hate MT? ...

I had never even heard of medical transcription until 4 years ago when I was invited to a "graduation party" by a friend who had finished her online MT course. How did everyone else get started in this business, both vets and newbies? What was it like before telecommuting opened this field up to so many people? ...

Are so many of you intent on being miserable that those of us who are not miserable and who are actually doing well are called liars? Why are we "rubbing it in" when we share that there are good gigs out there, that we have one and that we are doing well and yet when you are all spreading your misery, hate, and discontent you're "just telling the truth?" If you're working for a company that pays crap, is it then the company's fault or yours that you don't have a better job? ...

I know why I've been an MT for so long. I've had long periods in and out of the industry. I'm on my way out for the final time now. I've been interviewing and it looks good. My question is this. Why are YOU an MT? What is keeping you from getting a good job that pays you what you deserve instead of servant wages? What is holding you back from your self-respect? With me, it's my bad temperament and my general dislike of people. ...

When I was hired to this field a million years ago,,,there was flexibility and no vacation days. To me it was a trade off. Now, I have vacation days and the pay is lowered, so I can't afford to go anywhere. Are people willing to say, hey, I'll trade paid vacation for flexibility and better pay? ...

As I just got of a dictation with variable volumes and of course the eventual hang up with the loud dial tone, seems to me we could make a real good case for a worker's comp hearing loss problem. Not so much to collect now but to make an argument that they need to fix the volume on the system and maybe actually train the doctors to dictate correctly or be liable for lawsuits before we all go deaf. Too late for me, the ringing is staggering at this point. Thoughts anyone ...

Can anyone who has done EMR records tell me, is it that much different than transcribing a document? The ads that I see where they are hiring for EMR usually want experienced, but doesnt the experience just have to do with learning the platform? I would love to learn to do EMR, thats why I'm asking. I'm very experienced in transcription, been a QA for 9 years even, so the transcription part is no concern for me, I'm thinking it is just learning the system, am I r ...

Our hospital just went with M*Modal. We are getting laid off in a couple of months. I am curious to know the answer to this question. We have three doctors that stand out way ahead of the rest of our doctors with their HORRIBLE dictation. I MEAN HORRIBLE! However, I have no problem doing the dictation only b/c I have done their work for almost 17 years. How many transcriptionists or editors or whatever will those particular reports go through when sent to M*Modal before t ...

"friend" tell another their place of employment was great more than likely knowing that when the friend finds out, they will know it is not great. I can only think of a referral bonus, but I did not think those were given anymore. ...
