back-and-forth transition dance - cog in the machine

Just got my most recent QA. My total QA score for 2012 is 99.9% Just had to share with someone besides the dog who looks like she couldn't really care less. ...

I work for Precyse, and they are now sending the 3rd new account in my region over to India, and we are constantly without work anymore. I have applied for a job with Transcend Services. Can anyone tell me about this company please? First and foremost, do you run out of work very often? ...

Is your MT career dead? Don't know what to do? Here's the NEXT BIG THING! And you get to still stay at home! hmmm, I wonder if I can hook my headset up to my phone.... LOL =] http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/22/phone-sex-moms_n_1166075.html?1324589894&ncid=webmail19 ...

How does one make the transition over to acute care with no acute care experience. All the jobs I see want acute care. I fully understand that. I am willing to make the transition if someone would give me a chance. I ran into this as a new MT back 4 years ago. I have clinic experience, but no acute care experience. I'm looking for jobs daily as I lost my job 2 weeks ago due to electronic records. I need to work as bills are stacking up. What companies hire for clinic work, wil ...

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone who works or has worked third shift in the past could share with me any advice they might have. I have always worked first shift, but I have been offered a really terrific position working third shift on the weekends, and I am finding myself wanting to give it a try. I know it would be a difficult transition at first, and I would need to focus on taking good care of myself. If anyone has any advice, I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advanc ...

I'm thinking of making the jump after years (22+) in MT and LT and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the best way to go about doing this. I have found a couple of prep courses for the CCP exam, but it would be nice if I could hear some actual experiences that people have had with some of the actual courses out there. It would be great if you could provide links to the places that y'all have gone to. Feel free to e-mail me if you'd prefer. Tha ...

I have come into transciption within the past four years. This is something I have always wanted to do and finally found a way to get into the field. There does not seem to be alot of money in straight typing, and less in VR. I have always made incentive, but still - its just not enough and I work very hard to get that. Right now, I work for a company with straight typing only, no VR. I am taking a position with a company that has VR and it sounds to me like the position is pre ...

Haven't seen any recent threads lately and just wondered how everyone was doing? Are things getting better for everyone? Were you able to get back on original accounts before the change? I read a thread on here a couple weeks back where people had been kinda shuffeled around and was wondering had it gotten any better for you all. ...

For those of you who worked for a hospital department that went to an MTSO, how long did the transition take? We received the notice the beginning of 11/10 and they're still not fully transitioned. The first MTSO was swallowed up by a 2nd MTSO. It's possible by Sept we'll be on Powerscribe and then my job will end. P-scribe was not supposed to be the platform in the first place either. I was kept on as an IC to help with the transition. There have been countless tech problems ...

A question for anyone. Would you enroll in a community college program for medical coding at 57 knowing it would cost 5 grand to complete the course, and also with the knowledge that there are very few if any entry-level positions available in coding on the west coast. I see positions for in-house MT's and coders alike in other parts of the country all the time, but not so much on the west coast. I'm torn about this question, whether the commitment required would be worth it as I ...

Looking for good, bad, ugly, but please just the plain truth about Nuance. I will possibly transitioning to them from my company that they bought, going from IC to employee. I am very nervous about this and need some REAL HONEST insight as to their work environment, management, attributes, and downfalls. Thanks ...

Need some help here. I'm a small MTSO and have done straight transcription for almost 20 years. I am in danger of losing my biggest client which will throw most of my subs out of work. I've been scrambling to come up with ways to keep this account and have emailed the practice manager about ways that we could still help. They are going to EMR and will be deploying Dragonspeak for the doctors. Many of the doctors have nasty accents and I can only imagine what th ...

How long does it take for reports to transition from typed to edited when first being introduced to EditScript? Its been almost 4 weeks and 90% or more of the jobs in my account are still straight typing. Rarely do I see an edit job in the queue. No one is saying how long such a transition takes. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with their account going to editing and how long it took before they were actually doing editing instead of typing. ...

"Baseline EKG shows . . . . late R wave transition?" ...

I came across this idea when looking for ideas to branch out from doing MT. A local technical school in my area offers a certification degree for a respiratory therapist. In doing some research, this doesn't sound that bad. You basically work with patient's who have trouble breathing, asthma, COPD, etc. Learn how to use all the oxygen breathing equipment and such, learn how to respond to a patient who might be coding and give proper airway support. It sounded a lot harder than it looks ...

I am considering this. I am interested in biology and medicine, but do not want to be a nurse. Anyone know about physician assistant's courses, how rigorous they are, how expensive and how much time it takes to complete them? I am in the middle of getting my associates degree right now in general studies. The original plan is going for a masters in social work, but biology and medicine is holding my interest at this point, so wondering if I should switch majors. ...

Well, I see MQ is still touting the fact that we can produce more with ASR. Some things never change. If I had had notice that DSG was selling out from under us, I'd have started seriously looking for another job a long time ago. Not to mention 3 cpl less for QA submissions over 5%. Same ol' place I left all those years ago that I swore i wouldn't go back to. Actually, I didn't, I was just sort of "put" there. Have choices, though, and have ...

I am typing on a platform from my old company. Got an email today that we will start transitioning soon and training for DocuScribe. Can someone whose been through this tell me how long it took to transition their account? Really dreading this ... ...

Those who are still using Timesaver to log their time are supposed to be switching to webclock right? Does anyone know when that starts? I haven't heard anything about it recently. ...

I have all these years of MT experience, but ready to transition into something different, specifically, legal transcribing. Most places (usually law firms) prefer that one have some experience either with legal transcription oreither be a paralegal or law student intern. Is there a way I can somehow seamlessly transition into legal transcribing without all of that? ...

I just wondered if there were any Andrews grads who have taken their transition course yet? ...

looking or working in the IME report generating venue? I have seen a couple of help wanted ads for this type of job. Where you would take pt records and create an IME letter. I was wondering if anyone out there has worked doing this before and what it is like. ...

A recruiter recently emailed me and stated in her email "After the minimumlines per day is satisfied for 3 consecutive periods as well as the 90 days you will be offered employee status and benefits". What does that mean? What does a consecutive period consist of - pay periods? Annual quarters? (and please don't tell me to "ask the recruiter" - I have to go through extensive testing before she'll communicate with me again and I want to know if its worth it). I ...

I am a medical transcriptionist that has been typing radiology the last 11 years. My job is going to be phased out by voice recognition soon. I'm thinking of going back to school for medical billing/coding. Has anyone else made this transition? Do you like or hate it? ...

I have a passion for law but fell into the quick cash that comes with being an MT. Then I got an AAS in health information technology and am eligible to sit for my RHIT but it was so long ago, I'm afraid I probably wouldn't pass. So, I'm thinking it's back to the drawing board and was wondering how much additional education I'd need to get a legal secretary/admin asst job. With the degree I have, I've already had to become proficient in Office, filing, research, pro ...
