How long does it take a seasoned MT to do 400-500 LPH - with eScription? Is it really possible? nm

Basically meaning that the platform is not going to MT friendly or you're going to spend too much time filling in patient demo, or a myriad of any other reasons. And once you found out that it wasn't going to work out, how long did you stick it out? ...

UGH!! Where do you begin to tell someone who says "Ohhh how can I get into the field of what you are doing" ??? A "friend of a friend of a friend" asked my BF if I could "help her" figure out what the best way would be for her to get into MT!! I pulled up some local community college links for her (Gee, if you are even a LITTLE smart, you could have done this for yourself) ... Any suggestions/ideas on how to handle this situation. It really cracks me up how people just think o ...

I wanted to know what is considered a rookie MT and what is considered a seasoned MT. Thanks In Advance ...

From what I've read, most places require a daily minimum of 1000-1500 (varies) per day. I was wondering, on average, how long does it take a new MT to be able to reach this? Also, do you usually exceed your minimum? If so, by how much? I understand that these kinds of things will vary greatly from one MT to the next, I am just trying to get a general idea. Thanks in advance for your input! :) ...

Opinions wanted. Should instructors at Medical Transcription Schools have prior experience as a Medical Transcriptionist? Can someone who has never done Medical Transcription themselves teach someone else properly? If I spend $2650 plus $355 for “hardcover medical dictionaries,” I would hope the person instructing me at least had a clue how to use them. Here is a job opening posting: P ...

From reading post after post on the New MTs Board, it seems like one of the main reasons a lot of people chose the Medical Transcription field is because they were lured in by the “work at home, when you want” dream. But when reading through the job opening ads, any type of flexibility is usually reserved for Independent Contractor positions, and IC positions usually want lots of experience so the MT can work with little or no supervision. On top of that, at least in my opinio ...

Hi. I've been with the same company for years and am so unhappy with it. I'd like to maybe work for another company, but it doesn't seem worth it. After years of building up my glossaries, I'd be starting all over again from scratch and I've heard bad things about every company out there it seems. Plus, I'm sure my pay would be lower to start. Anyone go to a different company after years with the same one? ...

This would involve a "5-week long" treatment to the breast. ...

Geez! I was hired by a national last Friday. It is a full week later, and they haven't even gotten all the paperwork done. I thought I had completed it all and then they said human resources forgot a few papers. Well, they have yet to email them to me today. I thought I would be at least training by now. It has been a full week. I mean they still have to install software on my computer, and I still have to train on ES and the account specs. Ge ...

My shift was supposed to start at 8, it is now 8:15 and only 1 job has come through. Can I send my email and be done with it or once a job comes through do I wait another 15 minutes? ...

Can anyone tell me how long it might take, on average, to type 60 minutes' worth of dictation? Thank you! ...

This is in the PE section of a consult and the patient is alert but sedated. ...The neurologic is ( s/l tense) and is intact. Pulses in the periphery are good. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Sally ...

Anyone out there notice this? That it takes twice as long to do an op note anymore in ASR what with all the cutting, pasting, standards, going back to check whether or not to delete headings, blah, blah. It used to be a cinch to simply bring in one of my standards and make the appropriate changes according to the audio, but now with ASR, it takes twice as long. I feel like I'm running in place and going nowhere just to make ASR learn something. It's such a waste ...

How long does it take to find a new job with so many people looking for work. ...

The patient did some googling and recognized the tightness he was having may have been from a heart attack... Should I capitalize googling? ...

Started working for my current office 7 years ago. Worked 1 year in the office then needed to work from home so went on contract. Things were great, plenty of overtime, work as much or as little as I want and still have plenty of time to spend with my family. After 4 years they could no longer offer me a contract per se, but still had plenty of work so I stayed with them. Things changed, started having trouble getting my checks on time, sometimes would be becaus ...

I can't remember how long we have to be down to get downtime. Seems like it has to be at least half an hour. ...

I have known where this 'profession' was headed for years; even in the late 1990s I knew. I earned the education that I need with both an associate degree and bachelor's degree (bachelor's degree from Big 10 university) and, still, many people view me as an MT, which we can all agree is not good. I have experience in my new line of work, and I have worked in that field in the past. How long is it really going to take before people do not view me with all the negative stereoty ...

you are cleaning out your desk and find a magnetic tape eraser :) Probably belongs in a museum :) ...

Edited a job that was 4689 long. YIKES! That is the biggest one I have done in a very long, long time. ...

I've done my time! On to something else! I can't say my experience here has been terrible, certainly not as bad as some others I have seen, but I just feel it's time to go. Something else presented itself and I took it. I'll still be checking in on you all once in awhile. Would like to especially like to wish the potential coders well; I think that's a great opportunity! Wish me luck! ...

I have only been working a couple of months at Nuance and I am just wondering how long it takes to get off of QA and become DSP status. It feels like QA is nitpicking me to death. This is the longest I have ever been on QA before. How long does it generally take to get off of QA. My last audit was 99.85%. I cannot seem to get a straight answer from my TSM either... ...

How long do newbies typically spend on non-DSP status, and besides not having to pend every report, what does it mean to be granted DSP status? ...

I quit today. No 2 weeks notice. No anything. "You won't ever be able to work for Nuance again if you do this." That's like saying, "You won't ever be able to hit yourself in the face with a hammer again if you throw it away." There is NO WAY an MT can survive not knowing what they will make week to week. Who can budget like that? They can stick their "compensation plan" up their yin yang. I am free! :) ...

As I'm typing along for a radiologist that very clearly has a bad cold I hear the begining of a sneeze and then he cuts out. A second later he cuts back in and continues dictating. I was so happy that he actually cut out his sneeze that I left him a digital "sticky note" saying Bless you! I hope that made him smile ...

I've been looking since October. ...

After over a year without an MT job I have decided to turn my degree into a Nursing assistant degree. Not to say the MT jobs aren't out there it is just tough for newer MT's to land them with all of the competition. Employers have the right and the demand to be very picky with everyone vying for the position. Good luck to everyone who stays and does well in the MT business but it is time for me to turn my dreams into reality and start making a little green. ...

I have been doing this for a month and I still cannot get past about 225 an hour. I am either doing things wrong in my opinion or this is for the birds and I should just go back to straight typing! Any help? Thanks ...

How long does it take you to type 600 lines? I am considering taking an at-home position in addition to my in-house transcription position. The minimum line count for this company is 1800 lines a week and I'd like to not have to work more than three days a week for them, which would be 600 lines per day. I believe I'd be typing straight into Word, so the only quick-text I'd be using is the Microscoft AutoCorrect. I would be transcribing clinic notes wi ...
