What's with this Nuance1 in Job Seekers board?
and the other side of this is harrassing more experienced - MTs to quit with OOW situations repeatedly. n.m.

How about a bonus for long time employees sticking - around?

Yea, I know, stupid for staying right?
Says to mention Nuance full to the recruiter. I say - mention Nuance full of you know what :-)

They probably figure put newbies in there and they won't even realize they are being QA'd or picked apart by India auditors.
You can bet that a signing-bonus is the ONLY - bonus you will ever see there.

Of course, the bonus comes with hoops to jump through - and unfortunately or coincidently you will

never meet the requirements for the bonus. Nuance is great at developing these fake bonus programs that look great on paper.
Signing Bonuses - Meh
[ In Reply To ..]
They can afford to pay bonuses just to sign up for the job because they pay so very little once you're on the job. They are so desperate. They're going down.
I think... - me

they are sending the work to other companies to dole out to their (the other company's) independent contractors to Nuance doesn't have to pay employees to transcribe. That way their pocket book remains secure.

Isn't It Interesting That Newbies Are Getting Jul 01, 2010us oldies are getting below 98%, in some cases waaayy below, after years or decades of exemplary work, with raises, etc. How much more obvious can it get that they're downsizing the highest paid (and most experienced) MT/ME, to hire the newbies and get the tax breaks. Makes me SICK, so I resigned a couple weeks ago and feel absolutely in shock that I did it, finally, and trust in God for a better job. ...
Investing In Newbies Aug 16, 2010(Creaky voice) Baaaack when I was starting out... I had neither experience nor education, except my own attempts at self-training by reading "Taber's Medical Encyclopedia," and typing practice from "Norton's Anthology of Poetry." After 3 weeks of mailing resumes to local offices, I had decided to give up on finding an MT job. It looked like no experience, no hire. Then I took part in a transcription "casting call" at a large FP clinic. I tested horribly for speed (12 wpm), got stuck fo ...
For The Newbies Who Come Here And Get Scared Nov 10, 2010I want the newbies who come here and read the complaints and get scared about "what have I gotten myself into" to realize that not everyone is unhappy at MedQuist. Keep in mind that they have literally thousands of employees and only a handful come here to vent their unhappiness (which is fine, I understand, not everyone is going to be in an ideal situation). I think it very much depends on your circumstances as to how life will be at MQ.
I was a new grad hire and once I ...
Newbies Asking The Question Jan 18, 2011I see it here often and I just read it again, misplaced on the Job Seeker's forum:
"I just graduated from an MT school and everything requires experience. How do I get experience?"
This is a question that needs to be addressed with the schools you are choosing. And it should be asked BEFORE you start the course. There are courses that are less expensive but they lack various key components-- like instructors, placement assistance, etc. (That's not addressing t ...

To Keeping My Head Up And Other Newbies Oct 25, 2009There is good reason that these ladies sound a little negative. It is not about you, your initiative, or your dedictation. They do know what they are talking about, but they did not even begin to explain to you why, probably not enough room or time! This industry has changed drastically. You can not believe the ads you read about being an MT, great money, work your own hours, train in 2-4 months, blah, blah, blah. None of that is true. This has become a low in ...
To All The Newbies Trying To Get A Start In This Business Nov 09, 2009I have been doing transcription for the last eight years out of my home. I started with psychiatry for the company I was working for in-office and then was fortunate enough to get to do it at home. However, I had never done transcription before this point. I started checking into jobs online and since I knew I didn't have medical experience, I really didn't bother applying for any jobs in that field. I would apply for transcription jobs outside of the realm of m ...

Question For Employed Newbies Jun 30, 2010Hi everyone,
I am just wondering about when you first started that first job. How long were you in 100% QA? How long does it take before they let you do what you do without watching every file you hand in? At what point do they trust a newbie to be on there own? I know that it is different for everyone, but I am just looking for a ballpark figure here. Thanks in advance. ...

Some Advice For Fellow Newbies Aug 02, 2010As a former “newbie”, I would like to offer a little bit of advice to other newbies. When I first got into medical transcription, I thought that some of the advice given on these boards was a little harsh and sometimes downright nasty. Without a doubt, there are always going to be some nasty people on message boards, but overall, I think most of the advice given here is well intentioned. Let me explain a little bit of my story.

2-3 Newbies To Replace 1 Veteran MT Nov 02, 2010Just read another interesting article in that it is estimated that it will take 2-3 newbie MTs to replace 1 veteran MT. Something all these corporate MTSOs better start thinking about. Once they run all the veteran MTs off, find demand is shifting back to onshore transcription, then what are they going to do. Even if they pay newbies lets say a mere 6 cpl...that's 18 cpl if it takes 3 to replace 1 veteran, and the veteran makes probably 9 cpl (maybe 10) so it is costing th ...

How Long Do They Give Newbies Jan 15, 2015I hear about the threats of being fired if you don't make enough for minimum wage. How long do they give newbies to get up to speed/accuracy? I *really* don't want to get fired....... I've been here less than 2 weeks. If it was straight typing, I'd be at the 100 lph - however with the converted line count and the fact that I am not as fast at editing, my average converted line count is only about 81 clph. I hope they'll at least give me a fe ...
Newbies And Students - About AHDI Credentials ... Jan 06, 2010A certificate of completion (of your course or education program) does not make you a CMT.
The AHDI (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity) offers 2 different credentials: RMT (for those with less experience) and CMT. Both credentials require passing a challenge exam and continuing education credits to maintain (every 3 years).
If you think that it doesn't matter whether you obtain an RMT or CMT credential through the AHDI, just think of it this way:&n ...

To The M*Modal Newbies On The Coding Board Mar 23, 2014on this board pointed out to me that I misspoke. AHIMA does not approve coding courses. What I meant to say was that, to take the CCS you must submit an application, which must be approved by AHIMA before you can sit for the test. If you do not have the required two years of experience, or a professional certification and a year's experience, you can still sit for the exam if your coding program fulfills the requirements of A&P, pathophysiology, pharmacology, medi ...
Newbies, Know It Alls, And Constant Complainers Jul 26, 2014I don't understand why when newbies ask valid questions they are answered by rude know it alls who have 5+ years' experience and think they are much better than someone just starting out. We all used to be newbies. I have 20+ years' experience and I do not think I know everything. I learn something new everyday and am willing to help anyone who needs help.

I am a current employee of Keystrokes now for approximately 6 weeks. I have been a transcriptionist for approximately 20 years. I thought I would share my experience since there have been so many questions about this company in the past few months.
First of all, I am doing this because there is so much bickering back and forth regarding what kind of company Keystrokes is to work for. I can tell you right now, when a company has 600+ MTs, not everyone is go ...
