11 o'clock p.m. is still Sunday, and third shift

In Reply to: Shift question - tracy

can vary with company, depending on if they are on one coast and you are on another.  I have been offered a 3rd shift job, but can start at 9:00 p.m. based on the time differences in our locations.

Reservations for seven o'clock
can't cook
11 o'clock versus 11:00
Hi Aud,

It is an AAMT standard that if something that indicates a position, for e.g., speculum was placed at 10 o'clock position or a lump was found at 7 o'clock position of the breast.

If doctor indicates the time
transcribe it as 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Duh - 4 o'clock slump - How do you write 6 million 10 thousand nm

Sunday's the day
Received an e-mail that Fox News had started the boycott, and not to buy gas on Sundays. The e-mail I received was not date specific.
Every Sunday
I work 9 hours every Sunday, but this was the schedule that I created.
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
it changed on sunday. my question is does this mean mq has given up
on lowering the line rate for "editing" now that they have given up the "correction" and put everything under transcription and what does "clerical" mean when you go for line count?  also QA and QC.  aren't they both the same?
Most companies are wanting a Sunday through
Thursday schedule, Tuesday through Saturday, so you would still be working 5 days, but would always be working 1 w/e day.  If you just rotate weekends it depends on the company what days you would have off during the week, whether they would dictate the days you took off or you would be able to choose. 
I only saw the first few minutes Sunday night.
It was a repeat. I will try not to give to much away. They were having an affair. She was about to tell him she was pregnant but he told her that they should cool things for awhile, so he doesn't know she is pregnant. Much more happens after this. I don't know if next week's episode is going to be new or not. Let me know if you need more info. I am hooked also.
Just got back from Disney on Sunday
at the Polynesian resort. We stayed there last year. Stayed at Grand Floridian this year (courtesy of in-laws). We had the Disney Dining plan, 1 counter service, 1 table service, and 1 snack per person per day. We found it worked out to be a good deal for us.
Thanks! I was devastated that I missed it Sunday!

I thought about my birth mom on Sunday (nm)

Will U still need Paul McCartney Sunday when he's 64?
Will U still feed him? Grandchildren on his knee - Vera, Chuck & Dave...
only 1 alert from MTStars since Sunday??
Is there something wrong with the site or have the storms from Michigan hit the MTstars website?  It seems like I should have more than one alert from this board. Is anybody else having the same trouble? Just wondering and trying to stay dry. (As best I can since Michigan has had 4 days of rain and more forecast). 
In our Sunday School class, now we teach!nm

SORRY. meant for MTSO post below. Must be Sunday
My only night off.  Big old brain cramp here!
I got lucky this year. Scheduled off is Sunday. :)

Not so lucky last year. I took on this job knowing that my scheduled work days were just that, holiday or not, and I've never minded.


I do ask for time off well in advance if I want it and the 2 companies I work for have never had a problem.


every sunday regularly; probably 2 sats a month

Hey Snow Bunny, did you get through the storms okay on Sunday? sm
I hope you and your family are okay.
Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
Any Sopranos fans out there waiting for the big return on Sunday?
Can't wait.
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!

What about where you are?! 


 


 


Entertain them? Chores? Church on Sunday? You women are a joke!
How you are reading that into my statements is really a hoot! Please tell me you don't have children! My, we are all on the defense over this - how many of you have no relationship with your kids? Soooooooo sad!!
Ordered a Dell with XP Sunday night, arrived here Wed morning!
This is my 3rd Dell computer over the years.  My current one is more than 5 years old and is just getting a little slow and outdated, so my hubby the computer guru suggested I get a new one before you can no longer find XP.  He is still getting it set up for me (I am pretty picky!).  Been VERY happy with Dell.  Never had a single problem with their computers.  My current computer still has lots of life in it, so he is going to use it as a backup for his laptop.  BTW, we went right to the Dell website and ordered.  Good luck to you! 
I work Friday-Tuesday including 8 hours each Sat and Sunday.
I like it a lot, but don't think I could do three 12-hour days in a row, no matter which days they are. Someone must have done it successfully or they wouldn't be offering it, though, so go for it and Good Luck!
I gotta work on Saturday, but on Sunday I'm going to take the kids to a Renaissance Festival.
And Monday, the kids and I are going boating and to a cook out at the lake with family. 
definite dearth of good TV on Sunday. Hafta watch weather, sports

1st, 2nd, 3rd shift????
My husband is a correctional officer, and his 1st shift is considered 12 am - 8 am, 2nd is 8 am - 4 pm, and 3rd is 4 pm - 12 am.  I get the impression that most MT companies consider 1st shift as day shift, 2nd as evening and 3rd as 12 am - morning hours.  Can anyone clarify this for me?  Thanks.
Just put another pot on for my 2nd shift of the day! nm

Shift F9

Shift F9...
Type is RAD this weekend and mine was shift F9, which will bring up menu with spell check selection, which will give an info window, return and then it will start. But as mentioned always be at the top of report or it will say "done" as it does not automatically start from top. If this does not work use your F1 Help menu to find it.
Third shift
I was just working third shift and my hours were 11 pm to 7:30 am. Another coworker who also works third shift works 9 pm to 5:30 am. I think it varies by company. I hated third shift. I guess others love it, I was not one of them. I was on it for a year and a half and never could adjust to it. I would think long and hard before taking another third shift position, because it is so hard to get off third shift. But, like I said, there are many others that love third shift.
3rd shift
When I was on that shift, I would get away from my desk, walk around a bit, wash my face and get another cup of coffee.
Try to take a nap right before your shift (sm)
if you can, say even 20 minutes.  Track the times you get up in the morning (or during the day if you work 3rd shift).  If you can sleep a little later, this will help by the end of the day.  I like to snack while I work, but to stay awake, I can't eat a thing!
Shift+F9.

1st night on 3rd shift and still
but i started at 11 p.m., and notice that my line count for first hour was credited to yesterdays work.  so -- is this just a fact of life for 3rd shifters? 
Cherrypicking at end of shift
What about when you just have a little bit of time left on your shift and you want to shuffle through and pick up some short jobs instead of the 25-minute psych report or the long consult that will put you way over your shift?

Shift Lead MT/QA
In this position currently at 15.00 per hour.
How do you adjust to a 3rd shift job? nm

split shift
split shifts are great!  you will do much, much better if you split your 8 hours up by 4 and 4.  Early in the day and then late evening are usually the best. 
What exactly is a shift lead MT?

night shift
My life currently revolves around babysitting my 15 month old grandson all day, somedays he arrives at 5:30 a.m., others it is 7:00 a.m. stays with me anywhere until 2:00 to 5:00 pm. (his mom is in nursing school with somewhat irregular hours depending on her clinical days). I get on and transcribe from 7:00 p.m. until midnight or sometimes 1:00 a.m. five days a week. I absolutely force myself to take a one hour nap before my shift starts(never more than 1 hour). It helps so much. At first it was hard to do, but it really does help me stay awake and now it is almost natural to do it. Darken the room and keep away from the TV, unplug the phone. Of course, I can't live without caffeine either. Good luck with you new job/new shift
Shift question

I don't want to appear ignorant but I have always worked M-F.  Now am getting ready to look for a new position and am curious if I work third shift Sunday thru Thursday, I guess that means 11 o'clock Saturday night to 7 Sunday morning or does it mean 11 o'clock Sunday night (which would actually be Monday morning)  Thanks


Your company might consider 4/5p-12a.m. to be second shift, tho'. Better ask.

Night Shift
I have a 3 year old and I work late hours, but they seem to work for me. I work for a few hours in the a.m. and then I go back to work after she goes to sleep and work until about 4:00 a.m. I take Friday nights off. I've been doing this for so long it's second nature. I usually sleep from 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays my husband lets me sleep in. I also have a soon to be 13 year old and she's very helpful on weekend mornings. Once she goes to pre-school I'll change my work hours.
