Do I capitalize Emergency Medical Technician - MT150
Posted: Sep 17, 2013
Do I capitalize Emergency Medical Technician or just Emergency medical technician. As is the patient works for ----- hospital as an emergency medical technician. Also, do you capitalize a medical proffession name after the doctors name. Ex-Dr. Smith, Oncologist or oncologist. I have looked and looked, but I thought it should be and someone else thinks it shouldnt. Trying to get the correct format. I just cant remember and I cannot seem to find in my BOS. Thanks for the help.
If you have BOS III it is on pages - research

If someone has BOS II, maybe they will tell you the page numbers where capitalization is found. BTW, the index in the back of each BOS lists the subject material in alphabetical order to make research easier.
Dont have BOS 3 - mt150
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry I dont have the BOS 3. Is there any other reference material I can go find it in?
confused - thought you said you had a BOS you looked in - research
[ In Reply To ..]In your first post you said you could not find it in your BOS. Even if you don't have the third edition of BOS, you have either the first or second, right? Otherwise, you would not have said you could not find it in your BOS. So in that case, you go to the back of the BOS (no matter which edition you have), and look up "capitalization" to find the page numbers.
If you are in school, follow your instructors directions. If you work for someone, follow their account specifics or follow BOS if they want those guidelines used.

Medical Records Field Technician Ad
Apr 17, 2013
Did anyone else question that advertisement? First, they say that you can work at their locations, then later on they say that the candidates need to have internt access, that does not make sense. Also, the list of people they consider good candidates does not make sense. Coders and RNs to scan records? I'm not saying it's beneath them, but it's just seems a little strange that they would seek those type of people (as well as some others on the list) for an ...

I Thought About Getting A Nail Technician Certificate.
Jan 29, 2013
But the cost is around $5,000, the time is short only 6 months, but with working full time I would have no life with the classes being 4 hours every evening and 7 hours on Saturday. Okay, so if I commit myself to all of that, will I even be able to find a place to work? Most of the nail salons these days are chock full of Vietnamese workers. I rarely see salons with American nail technicians anymore. What I would love to do is open my own salon, but where would I get the funds to do someth ...

One QA manager is giving me errors for not capitalizing, the other is giving me errors when I do!

Also, as far as specialties, how do you handle those? For ...

Is there an way to create a macro that can go back and do that so that I don't have to either backspace out or stop and go back and correct and then carry on? I'm thinking to do a find function to go find the last period and then tell it to skip to the next letter, but I'm not entirely sure how that would go. If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really app ...
