We can't have cellphones where I work (retail), so it won't look so good if I upgrade to a blackberry looks like a phone with pharmacy references in it... I don't have any close friends work in hospitals, is there any problem with having one in hospitals?

My hospital provided "pager" is a BlackBerry.

Hospitals are way cooler than retail!

Many of my hospitals have free wifi also..

Then again, cellphone reception isn't the best throughout the hospital.

0 bars from t-mobile in the ER.... bring cellphone is pretty useless where I work.

Not great reception, but we use cell phones all the time in the hospitals here.

What retail pharmacy wont let you have a cell phone and how would they know. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I could see not letting the techs have one, because they would be talking on it all night...

You'd be surprised...it's usually the RPh doing the talking...the techs just talk to each other and act obnoxious...

A cell phone ban isn't going to stop someone from talking. Some idiot floater I was working with 2 months ago spent at least 80% of the shift on the phone (using the store phone)

Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with it but:

#1 - She wasn't too happy when I announced I was taking a break and walked out.
#2 - She had to use a "pump" every 4-5 hours because she recently gave birth.
#3 - Overly emotional, she had a break down because her babysitter quit on her while on the job because she put a lock down on the TV at home.

Whatever, she's gone now, and I think she got a pretty bad customer complaint.
