o'clock positions - VRS
Posted: Jan 03, 2013
Does anybody know what the BOS recommends for typing positons, i.e. two o'clock position or 2 o'clock position. Thanks for any help.
2 o'clock position is correct - me
[ In Reply To ..]The BOS recommends using numbers for clarity.
THANKS VERY MUCH - VRS
[ In Reply To ..]I was not sure if it was one of the things that was changed or not, thanks a mill!
BOS III on typing positions - research
[ In Reply To ..]When an anatomic position is described in terms of clock-face orientation as seen by the viewer, use o'clock. Do not trasncribe as an expression of time. Hyphenate the expression since it forms a compound modifier preceding and modifying the word "position." If the word "position" is not dictated but position, and not time, is clearly implied, transcribe the full expression to avoid confusion.
D: The incision was made at 3-o'clock.
T: The incision was made at the 3-o'clock position.
When the clock-face orientation is expressed as a partial hour, omit the word "o'clock" even if dictated.
D: The cyst was found at the 2:30 o'clock position.
T: The cyst was found at the 2:30 position.
Positions and hyphen... sm - me
[ In Reply To ..]I do not have the 3rd edition. Why is there a hyphen at 3-o'clock position?
if you read the BOS post - it is because of a modifier

The "o'clock Positions" With Hyphens Has Me Questioning
Apr 17, 2012
There is a focus of superficial squamous cell carcinoma at the 7:30- and 9:00-o'clock position, as well as the 6:00 to 7:30 position. Of note, the 6:00 to 7:30 position was a focus of the deep margin. The skull vertex and bone margins were also positive at that time. PATHOLOGY: Further peripheral skin biopsies located at 10:30 to 12:00; 9:00 to 10:30; 4:30 to 6:00; 3:00 to 4:30; 1:30 to 3:00; and12:00 to 1:30 were all negative for carcinoma. The 7:30 to 9:00 o' ...

CTL Positions Being Eliminated?
Nov 05, 2009
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 ...

THEY ARE NOT A FAIR COMPANY TO WORK FOR. ...
Are There Any IC Positions With 24-hour TAT?
Jan 12, 2011
Can anyone give me information on companies who hire IC's with a 24-hour turn around time? I want to get my work today and turn it in by a certain time the next day without having to work a schedule or in pools. With everything else going on with these companies from low pay, heavy ESL's, and lack of work, I would at least like to have the flexibility of doing the work on MY time. Thanks in advance.... ...
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 ...

Are They All Editing Positions?

Just wandering if there are any employee positions that aren't just editing out there. I feel like I am not growing as an MT doing nothing but editing. Unless I choose to just edit and accept this is the new norm at 3 cents a line, eventually getting my own voice recognition software for the future for any accounts I want to get on my own. Any thoughts? I am wandering if this is something I just need to hop onboard for. Editing for nationals doesn't pay anything ...

Applying For Positions

I have 30 years of experience and do not want to spend time filling in information about every job I have ever had and why I left, where I went to school, emergency contacts, etc on their application, only to never hear from the company and would prefer just to e-mail a resume with a cover letter.

Are There Any True IC Positions?
Jul 22, 2013
I am looking for a true IC position where I can work when I am available due to being handicapped. I sometimes have some very bad days and can't get out of bed as a result of it and I keep losing jobs. I am also wondering if there are any companies that pay MTs what they're worth on VR. I feel like we do twice the work for less pay. It's a lot harder if you ask me, especially if you have an account full of doc's who suck at dictation and sound more like auctioneers than a do ...

What Happened To The MT Positions
Nov 30, 2013
What has happened to the MT jobs? I can't even get anyone to return a message stating that they have no more openings or I just don't fit the position. Every year I have worked holiday's and every minute of every day and in the middle of the night if needed and now nothing? I am trying to find something with someone and you'd think I had leprosy. I have been doing nothing short of practically begging some of these places for jobs. I am disabled and have to w ...
