Medical Transcriptionist: Best Alternative Job for Unemployed Nurses

Unemployed nurses or those who are still waiting for the board exam result should not let their skills and expertise stuck; hence, they should find other ways on how to get going in spite of the lack of opportunities for nurses in the country.

 

 

Medical Transcription is the process of transcribing either a phone call from patient to doctor or vice versa or transcribing a situation in a medical room (either during operation, check-up etc.)

 

 

So basically, the job of a medical transcriptionist is to transcribe or type in the computer what he/she hears during the whole case.

 

 

Nurses are very much qualified, with most advantage for this position since they are familiar with the medical terminologies. Aside from the medical terminologies, a nurse can also identify easily what’s happening during the conversation which would help him/her transcribe accurately.

 

 

The salary for Medical Transcriptionist is much higher compared to the salary of a real nurse in a hospital. Medical transcriptionist earned Php12,000 a month compared to the Php8,000 a month in public hospitals. 

 

 

The demand for medical transcriptionist is increasing as the knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) industry in the country is blooming.

 

 

Since we have a shortage in nursing employment, many are advised to take risk and to apply in alternative jobs while waiting for nursing opportunities.
