Companies that hire new MTs

Generally, I get a few emails each week asking about where to find a medical transcription job.  I always recommend going to mtjobs.com and also do a search at the Career Step message board (where I graduated).  Here is a compiled list of companies that are known to hire new medical transcriptionists.  I always recommend as well that you apply for any job, no matter what they say for experience.  You never knew what it may lead to.  Some companies will say no but maybe keep you on file for later or some companies may generally only hire those with a few years experience but hire a few new people from time to time.  You never know.

Used Medical Transcription Reference Books

I’m cleaning out my bookshelf because I’m realizing which reference materials I really use on a daily basis.  I also want to switch to using the Stedman’s Word books on CD versus print material.  I have just a few books left and I’m selling them on Amazon.  Click here to view the books.  If you have any questions, just let me know!

Oh my…

Ok I haven’t updated my MT blog for a long time!  I had my son, Alex almost 5 months ago and I’ve been slowly getting back into working again full-time.  I took about a month off after Alex and now I’m working about 32 hours a week (that is my goal!).  I try to work 16 hours during the week (mainly in the evening after my husband gets home from work) and then 16 hours on the weekend.   It’s not an easy thing with 2 children under the age of 2 but it’s working.  It really helps to have a super, supportive husband! 

I’m still working at Superior Global Solutionsand I really love it!  I have 3 hospital accounts that I do acute care reports for and I’m always busy.  I mainly do VR (voice recognition) editing, which I also love too.  Right now I typically edit about 300-450 lph (line per hour, the rate most MTs are paid).  SGS uses the EditScript platform is very user friendly and makes the editing work very easy to do (as long as the dictator speaks pretty clearly which most of the them do on my accounts).  If you have a few years experience and are looking for VR editing work, send your email to SGSClick here for their website. 

I will try to keep up more with my blog now.  If you have any questions, regarding the world of MT, let me know!
