There are at least 8 masses present involving "the 2-o'clock to 6:30 positions", - Typed right?

it is just "the 2 o'clock to 6:30 positions."

You would not say "the 2:00 to 6:30" or "the 2:00 o'clock to 6:30."

Did they change the rule on hyphenating when it modifies...? - Just wondering

If I type something that just says "It was located at 2 o'clock," I don't put a hyphen, but in this situation, the noun is "positions," and both of those modify it. There are at least 8 masses present involving the positions. Which positions? The 2-o'clock position to 6:30 position (and positions in between apparently). So I see 2-o'clock as a compound adjective modifying one of the positions. Is this not correct?

That's was how I was taught too...which is why I was confused by the... - 6:30 position.

Thanks for helping :)
BOS does not have a hyphen - sm

clock referents
When an anatomic position is described in terms of clockface orientation as seen
by the viewer, use o�clock unless the position is subdivided.
The incision was made at the 3 o�clock position.
D: The cyst was found at the 2:30 o�clock position.
T: The cyst was found at the 2:30 position.

Past Or Present Tense Voice
May 07, 2010

Okay, I have been very confused about this lately.  When a doctor is reviewing medical reports from other providers and is documenting it within his report, should it be done in present tense or past tense??? I think that it should be done all in the past tense, but I have had arguments for both.  Basically, I just want the right answer.  For example, "The patient was seen on 06/10/09 and stated that he had right leg pain.  The report indicated that the patient had an antalg ...

CTL Positions Being Eliminated?

Heard a rumor that the CTL positions are being eliminated around the 15th.   Perhaps this is a question you should ask your CCMs/area directors?   Not sure if it is true but when asked specifically, it was not denied but there is something brewing around the 15th.   Seems like all CTLs will be moved to the MME positions and the CCMs will assume the CTL duties.  Sounds like another shake up at the Q which always happens around the holidays.  Wonder if ...

Transolutions Few Positions Available
Jun 02, 2011

When I spoke with the recruiter, it sounded like there were just a few positions available. Yet, another recruiting ad showed up on Tuesday evening at another major MT recruiting website. So, I'm wondering, is the recruiter using the old trick of sounding like I'd better jump and grab one of those "few" positions, or did a bunch of people who were already hired suddenly quit? I wonder why Transolutions has had so many recruiting ads lately. Again, I was told that there were only ...
