Can any one tell me what it is like to work at home as a medical transcriptionist?

Unfortunately, the need for medical transcriptionists is declining since most hospitals have converted to using software that trascribes for them - elimitating the need for a typist. It may be hard to find a job, and even harder to be an at-home one. I do the transcribing for a clinic I work at prn at home, but it is only a couple of times a month that a report is needed to be transcribed. It will depend on the metro area you live in and if the hospitals are still using the old method of transcription, but it would be a great job if you are self-motivated and can just sit down and type for eight or ten hours straight. Most transcriptionists charge by the line, so the faster you type, the more you make per hour. You will not get paid immediately, either, so that will be something you will have to consider. Best of luck to you!

I think you will find it very rewarding. I have been working thru this site: http://www.elance.com/home?rid=18KAP. It is very easy. You can pick and choose which transcription jobs you are interested in and bid on it. You call all the shots. I love this site! Just my honest opinion.
