I am a newly hired MT and do not have a drug reference book yet. I am looking for suggestions for a good drug reference book. Also, looking for any other suggestions that may help me improve my knowledge and speed. Thanks! ...
I am SO excited. I just received a call from a local hospital for an interview tomorrow for an full-time inhouse transcriptionist radiology position. I am not sure yet if they pay by the line or the hour; I hope it is hourly then I would know exactly what my pay will be instead of by the line since you never know from one pay period to the next how muych it will be. Believe me, this is rare as I live in the middle of nowhere and 3 hospitals that are within driving distanc ...
Am transitioning from Rad to Acute care to "broaden" my hiring potential. Have 2-3 years experience with Acute care but it has been a few years. Would appreciate any input on the best reference book. Anybody have a favorite they find invaluable?

Hi! I used to work for MQ, frequented this board often and appreciated the sound advice. I have since retired from the medical transcription industry. Recently I was asked to transcribe some recorded conversations that will ultimately be read aloud in court for a child custody case. I'm not worried about the actual transcribing, just about proper formatting and such. I would also like to know an approximate amount to charge, i.e., by the line, by the page, by the hour, etc.? C ...
I can hear some type of tracker brace but cannot understand clearly what is being said before that. Have googled tracker braces but wondered if someone had a good site that they use often.
TIA ...
I am starting at a new company who requires us to provide our own word expanders and I want to get Shorthand. However, I'm having a hard time finding the official website for Shorthand to download/buy it. Can someone help? Thanks. ...
I've applied and interviewed with Transolutions. Any bad or good on this company. I am currently working for Nuance and so disappointed. When I continually see all these ads for the same companies over and over again I now know why. Crappy work, crappy ESL dictators, continual change in account specifics, continual additions of new accounts that all need to be done a specific way. I've been doing this for 20+ years and have never made such a piddling amoun ...
Hello, everyone. I am currently two years as an IC for a company (I'd rather not name) and am kind of unsatisfied. I can make my own hours, which is a plus, but the pay is VERY low. I am thinking of shopping around but I don't know if my word count is good enough to count as average, above or below. My average is 350-400 lines an hour edited or 150ish lines an hour standard (as you all know, this depends on what doctors I get for the day). I am currently b ...
I think I may have seen this discussed on here before but I can't seem to find the posts. I am looking for a good line counting/word counting program. TIA for any and all suggestions! ...
When completing job applications, are you all putting down the main MQ number in Laurel, NJ, are you using your current CCM's info (they chg so frequently), or using the URL for employment verification. I have to find something else soon. I guess you can consider me a complainer now too because I'm tired of making less and less money but working more hours. I'm working another job, but have to find a replacement for MQ asap. I can't do this anymor ...
Question regarding use of reference books....I've been working for the same transcription company for 10 years and have kept very busy in that time, but as of the last six months, they have lost accounts and work has dropped off significantly. I applied for a job last week that asked me which reference books I currently use. To be honest, I haven't renewed any of my reference books in about 8 years, as I found it to be much, much quicker to locate terms via the Internet if you ...
Is there a reference source where I can search a prescription even though I do not know the first letter of the prescription. For example: %cilozine. ...
Hi,
Can anyone recommend the best radiology reference? I'd like terms, phrases, and abbreviations combined. I'd like to have one reference at-hand.
First, assignment/dictator could barely understand. How long before you felt more comfortable with various reports? ...
Does anyone else have problems supplying work references? It seems the jobs I'm interested in all very emphatically ask for work references that can be verified and I've worked at home for just two companies in the past 10 years and had no contact with any other employees besides my supervisors. I definitely don't want to give the current employer as a reference so that leaves me one that I worked for six years ago. Not sure what to do in this case. ...
I am new to MTStars and am currently enrolled as a MT student working toward completing an AAS degree. I am in my 6th quarter and starting to transcribe documents and reports in all the different fields. This week our transcription class discussion was centered around different reference resources and guides and I was wondering what are some of the favorites that are actually used by experienced MTs. I have never worked in a medical profession and making a huge transition after becoming una ...
Brand and generic names for medications. I've been using drugs.com and rxlist.com, but some of the meds are coming back from QA as being capitalized/lower cased incorrectly. ...
