Our unit implemented a No Personal Phones on the Floor policy, and we are collectively treating it like a middle school cell phone ban. They want us to leave our personal devices in our lockers and only use the hospital-issued Vocera/spectralink phones, which constantly drop calls and fail to text properly. I have a sick parent at home and the thought of missing an emergency call because my phone is locked in a basement locker makes me sick to my stomach. Is this level of micro-management becoming normal at your facilities?

It is normal if identified abuse by team members. However, you could ask for an exception based on extenuating circumstances.

What does this mean? Like abuse as in people using their personal phones too often?

Unfortunately there are too many people who can't stay off their phones, so this is what happens.

Unfortunately, this is a result of people taking advantage of having phones. I am a therapist and worked in a facility where I would see nurses and CNAs on their phones constantly, and not caring about the patients. This may not be your fault, but it is due to others not doing their jobs. I'm sorry this is happening. Maybe your mother can take a main number for your department or something.

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent
