Okay this sucks. Everyone at work carries a cellphone on them for emergancies I am no exception. However, I am the onlyone whom keeps theirs on SILENT because i dont want it to go off while I am working with patients... Last night after my lunch at some point my phone vanished =( I spent an hour and a half looking for it. I think it ended up in the dumpster otuside of work. Everyone is telling me to call it but i have to tell them its on silent =( SO thats the 3rd cellphone in a year. Im off to buy a new one

Try using vibrate instead of silent.

Obviously your method is not working, try something new. Why not turn the phone off when you are with patients and turn it back on afterwards?

I have mine on vibrate so I can at least feel it and if you do loose it then most of the time you can here it vibrating....good luck....too damn expensive to be buying phones....

I work in a nursing home. Turning it on after seeing a patient is redundant. Im ALWAYS in with a patient. I keep it on silent and refer to it for a "quick clock" or to see if I have any important messages.

Ita against policy to have your phone on anything other then silent so i try to comply with that =/

Why not wear it on a lanyard?

put a clapper on it *CLAP*CLAP* and it's goes *DING*DING* just stay away from the the patients on bingo night...ya know how those people clap when they yell BINGO It'll drive you insane.

superglue it to your hand..

Buy an expensive one, you will keep better care of it. I also have insurance that covers if I lose the phone or it gets stolen. That costs like 6 bucks/mo.

Now I know why you have been ignoring me.

Do you have a locker at work? That would help if you are just in one building, but not help if you have to travel in your work
