Desperately hoping - Frustrated

... to work for a company that pays weekly. I have many years of experience in all specialties. VR or straight typing, IC or emp. Any ideas of a company I could apply to and start asap? Thank you for any and all ideas! ...

I am trying to transcribe files in Express Scribe. The first file keeps speeding up and going really fast, even when I decrease the speed button on the display. Does anyone know how to fix this? The second problem is when I start the voice file, when I lift my foot off the pedal, the file keeps playing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! ...

Hey all, I am a new recent graduate in the MT field and am currently studying to get my RMT. I am having a very hard time finding my first MT job and was wondering if anyone had any advise on companies that willingly hire new MT's or places to go in the kansas city metro area to get some experience that will influence my hiring process. Thanks! ...

my accounts are SO HORRIBLE I can hardly make it through the week, let alone do overtime. I need the cash pretty bad though, so I guess I will grit my teeth and just do it! I've worked on some super easy accounts in past years, but these past couple of years since my old accounts went overseas, have been a horrible struggle with impossible ESL and the worst sound quality I've ever dealt with. Add on top of that the frequent audits, and oh my, what a recipe for stress! Thanks for ...

When I was getting all that stuff loaded on my PC, he said whatever I do, do not run a system restore as it would break my machine. I just wonder if any ex MTs have done that and not had a problem. I feel it would take care of a lot of my problems. Thanks for any info!! Feel free to email me if you wish ...

I was reading the posts below from the complainers complaining about the complainers, and I cannot believe there are so many deluded and ignorant MTs out there who believe that 3 cpl for VR and 8 cpl for transcription is a fair wage --- NO, not just a fair wage, they actually think it's something to sing about! When I started in this profession over 20 years ago, medical transcriptionists were a well respected part of the HIM team. I earned $13 per hour back in the late 1980s! ...

My new account includes physical therapy and rehabilitation reports. It's been many moons since I've done this worktype. I've googled for PT terms, but nothing I find is very helpful. Does anyone know of a PT glossary that's free on line? I'll be eternally grateful for any help. ...

I have Windows XP on my computer. My boyfriend has his kids every other weekend and a couple times every week for visitation. We caught his oldest son (12) looking at some, uh, BAD sites last time he was here. I have set up a separate account to be used by the kids when they are here that gives them limited access (no downloads, access to files, etc.) but when it comes to the internet, it's a nightmare!! I have changed the internet security settings, but it seems that changing ...

After waiting for what seems forever, I finally get a phone call yesterday for an in-house job interview at a local hospital here doing transcription. I cannot WAIT to get away from the pickiness of QA, ALL the acct specs, MTIs and WORST DICTATORS IN THE WORLD. I PRAY I get the job. Full time with full REASONABLE benefits! no more 0.04 cpl or 0.08 cpl! ...

It seems impossible to find morning work in radiology to supplement my full-time income! I love my full-time job at Transcend, but I am really needing to find a PT gig to supplement my income. I current work second shift, but with the economy these days, like so many others out there, I could really use the extra income. I would appreciate any input about any companies, whether it be IC or employee status, that offers morning work in radiology. I scour the ads daily ...

Ah well, we all knew it was coming. It is true though, lots of companies do Ch. 11 and come out better than before. This is me hoping MM is one of them. ...

That any large American company that has sent its work overseas would bring it all back and become a "hero" company by doing so, which would garner a lot of press for them, create improved morale across the board, and would hopefully see increased sales and jobs if the American public bought their product over something they could get at Walmart cheaper. This would hopefully trigger copycat companies who want to get in on the act, and maybe we might see a return of jobs to this country. ...

I wonder if they will have the nerve to ask on MT week. UGH. ...

I am currently a full-time MT. I am hoping to get out of the field completely soon. I have an RN license, I put nursing on hold to raise my kids and enjoyed doing MT while they were little. Now money is extremely tight and I know I can make much more doing nursing. However, I am terrified of going back. I have done the same thing now for 15 years, and it is SOOOO hard for me to change! Can anyone who has gone through this give any suggestions of how to get bac ...

Way to go Nuance! I had actually hoped we'd at least get copays this time, even if it meant paying more. Disgusting. Plain and simple. Having insurance that you can barely afford and can't even use because of the obscenely high deductible and no co-pays is ridiculous. This year is even more special - we are signing up for something we don't even know that we can afford because of the compensation changes they have promised. I am going to check into opting out a ...

I have been a very successful MT (mostly) for over 18 years, building up my experience, my abilities with ESL and difficicult dictators, constantly growing in knowledge, and each time fought to be careful with which job I chose and to better myself each time. Okay, I know things are tough, but I just read something really ABRASIVE AND SAD. An ad that touts loudly "ALL STRAIGHT TYPING" "YAY"!! Very celebratory. Next line----and this is for experienced ACUTE CARE -- 7 cpl. I made that back i ...

I have been part time with Transcend for over 5 years now and no health benefits and now they are having open enrollment. I thought Nuance would take that over and give PT people health insurance. I guess that was being too hopeful, right?? ...

Hoping to start a nursing program. I am 35 and have been a medical transcriptionist since graduating from high school. I would like to eventually obtain a Master's in nursing. I have been planning this for a while (almost two years), but I've been really nervous, so I have kind of put things off. I think one thing I'm nervous about is it is my first time going to college. I was trained for medical transcription at a technical school while still in hig ...

Hello all my fellow transcriptionists! I love this board. I have been coming here and reading most of the messages here for many years now, even though I haven't really been a 'medical' transcriptionist for about 4 or 5 years now. I love all your comments, feel for you when you share your frustrations, and gain insight into the changes that have continued to happen with medical transcription (in particular, with the MTSOs). I am heartbroken for the many of you that are work ...

I guess I need to come up with a new name, huh ? :D ...

but from the posts, I can see that everyone else is in the same boat I am. I can only agree that this is the lowest paying MT job I've ever had and that the constant haranguing about working extra over the weekends is completley annoying. I worked for 5.5 hours for Nuance the other day and made $47. I then worked for a private client for 2.75 hours and made $82. If only he had more work for me! Unfortunately, I'm expecting him to go on the EMR this year an ...
