But if nothing in your account specifics as to style, coronary intensive care unit as a stand alone phrase is lowercase but capped if it follows a specific CICU, such as the hospital name:
coronary intensive care unit
but
Idaho General Hospital Coronary Intensive Care Unit
For the last week, I have now been getting output without any punctuation! The commas have been gone for some time, but now the rest is gone. And they wonder why our line counts aren't going up.
Shaw apparently thinks that the more ways we have to see our production, the more we will produce. LOL. The way to raise production is to get the ASR right! Until then, my production numbers will fall where ever they land as my production is the result of other people's work which I ha ...

I am thinking about applying for a unit secretary position at a local hospital. Hours are 7-3:30, full time, Monday through Friday. Not sure about the pay scale yet.
Has anyone here worked in that capacity? I think my medical terminology knowledge would be useful. I am concerned about future employment in the MT field, especially the declining wage structure.

Step Down Unit, Stepdown Unit, Step-Down Unit and is it even capitalized???
This is confusing. I searched this, and it is written multiple different ways at hospitals and other sites. Sometimes written in upper case, other times in lower case. I found a "step-down therapy" in Stedman's, but nothing about a unit.
Is there a correct choice, or just type what appears to be the best option?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so very much. ...
I know some folks have gotten out of MT and gone into different positions in hospitals. I see a few local jobs online for unit secretaries and scheduling clerks that require no other specialized training other than terminology, and i am wondering if anyone has gone that route, is it a big learning curve? did you feel in over your head?
It would be so far out of my range of comfort (haven't worked outside for almost 10 years) and not to mention having to get a wardrobe (although scrub ...

Okay, AFAIK, a unit secretary is someone who works in a particular unit at a hospital, usually, and handles all sorts of duties. That much I know. But lately, some of the ads for this job seem to be adding on other duties that I didn't think a unit sec. had to know: CNA; monitor technician.
So now you have to be trained as a CNA or take courses in telemetry to work as a unit secretary?

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...

Thanks! ...
I thought maybe Vasotec, but 25 mL! I've googled and looked in the drug book and can't confirm that amount. Maybe someone out there has expertise in cardiology. Could this be a similar-sounding contrast medium, or maybe doc just misspoke. ...

I have seen tons of different ways to write the following and am wondering what is the actual correct way? When using the words "type 2 diabetes mellitus" in a document, do you initial capitilize it or leave it all lowercase? ...
I need help with capitalization. I have myself confussed with some of the ruling for departments and services. With this sentence: The perineum and vagina were prepped and draped and the ureteral stent was placed by urology service. Do you capitalize urology? Thank you ...
