I have a lot of respect for everybody, who works in a hospital because they’ve got to be ready at all times of the day. Having a beeper definitely helps that, I think.Cora Bullockhttp://www.lrsaustralia.com.au/Long-Range-Systems/Restaurant-Pagers.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-16195030910200778122012-09-06T14:46:21.659-04:002012-09-06T14:46:21.659-04:00Well, I, for one, miss how my parents had a beeper...Well, I, for one, miss how my parents had a beeper. Back in the day, it was the quickest way to reach my parents (who shared just the one beeper despite working in separate cities). It gave my mom peace of mind knowing that we could reach her immediately for anything. That, of course, became the precursor to today’s text messaging. Still, it’s great to see that the humble beeper can still be very useful in this age of tablets and smartphones.Pathane Wadlerhttp://pagersystems.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-28935682382994172162008-11-17T21:45:00.000-05:002008-11-17T21:45:00.000-05:00you forgot to mention when a secretary pages you a...you forgot to mention when a secretary pages you and you're in a room in that unit.

They always seem to ring during codes while the RT is doing compressions or bagging and all they want is something like IS education for their post-op patient. The disadvantage is that a pager will beep for, what, 10-15 seconds max, however, the spectralink will just ring and ring and ring during the code. I'm usually the one that reaches in the RT's pocket to answer the phone and tells the nurse they are in a code. lolJaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971521259527034303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-45108045319162304552008-11-02T16:09:00.000-05:002008-11-02T16:09:00.000-05:00Fear the spectralink.

Now we've come to curse them.<BR/><BR/>Ah, this is just one of the 'joys' I'm going to look forward to after graduation. Our facility stopped using beepers though and the RT's carry Spectralinks (http://www.onlinelifeline.org/store/image.php?productid=284). They only work within like a 1/4 mile radius of the hospital but it is a lot easier than waiting for a return call.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971521259527034303noreply@blogger.com
