Life at Terra Nova

As a veteran transcriptionist, Terra Nova is by the far the best company I have worked for. The environment is professional and friendly, focused on providing top quality, accurate medical records for patients each and every day. Management will go above and beyond to support the team. You really feel like you are part of a family at Terra Nova.
Terra Nova is a nice company to work for because it treats me as a human being on the other end of the computer, and people are very understanding and respectful as well.
I chose to work for Terra Nova as the hospital that I worked for formerly used them for their outsourcing dictation for many years. Terra Nova allows me to work from home while still making me feel like I am part of a team by keeping me up to date on the latest transcription vocabulary and software. Because Terra Nova is used by many businesses in North America, I get to transcribe for different hospitals and medical clinics.
Terra Nova Solutions is a great place to work. Supportive management who cares about you and how to help you achieve your goals.
