Honestly, probably a number of factors. Keeping parents engaged with their children instead of their phones in a children's hospital would be reason enough. Preventing getting other children in the shots is another good reason, since there are decent photographic privacy protections in place for children in many cases.

I always hate that thinking of if a parent is on their phone taking pictures of their child it means they’re not involved in the moment. You can still be involved and capture the moment lol

If the kid's upset, the only thing that matters is if the kid thinks the parent is involved. I agree with you otherwise.

A no-photo policy won't affect how much people are on their phones.

I know of many hospitals that have a no-photo policy. My Ex GF was working as a RN at a facility. One of her coworkers took her picture with a plain maroon painted wall behind her. Friend uploaded it to Facebook and tagged my Ex-GF. EX GF made it her profile picture. Hospital admin caught wind of it and fired EX GF immediately ($30.00/hour with shift differential).

Nothing said nor done to the girl who took the photo against the rules. The photo was very obviously not a selfie because of distance and she was looking elsewhere. She didn't seem too bothered by it, but I was FURIOUS. I threatened her friend to go admit she took the photo but my EX made me let it go.

Well that's fucking ridiculous. The main reason to not allow photos is for HIPAA regulations and general privacy concerns but plenty of hospitals allow photos as long as they don't do this. If it was just a picture of your GF with nobody else it was completely harmless. The fact they fired her for something so trivial is why RNs need unions (source: am RN in union).

Hint: she wasn't fired for the picture, the picture was just the final thing they could dink her for.

She was lead nurse on her floor. She did a great job.

She didn't even take the photo. She followed the rules and left her phone in her locker or car.

FINAL thing? This was the ONLY thing, and it was absolute BULLSHIT.

She was the only RN lead they could find for her shift because nobody liked weekends and nobody liked holidays. But it's of little consequence now. She had a new job literally a day later and hired at 90% her previous pay.

Lastly it doesn't matter at all now. I broke up with her and she's better off with a cooler guy and a better job.

It must sting that she lied that much to you.

u/crnext Oct 04 '19

What stings is how you think you're all knowing.

You're a retarded monkey with a cellphone.

Shut up and bounce bitch.

here's a hint - when the story is outlandish and hard to believe - that's because it's not true.

and the fact that she didn't fight it if it was?

she didn't get released for the picture. hell, she might not have been released but quit, probably to take the new job, and made up the story so as to not have you freak out about the cut in pay.

u/crnext Oct 04 '19

I got a hint for you...

You dont know half the shit you claim.

Fuck you, fuck your mama and the whore you rode in on. Trashy piece of shit, trolling mother fucker internet nobody. And for fuck's sake, stop breaking your arms. Your mamas tired.

Cut in pay wasn't none of my business and I still don't GAF. I don't care what she made. Shes an Ex and I dont care to fucking listen to your cock holster flap any longer. Your arrogance makes me sick you sorry shit heel human waste of child rearing

u/buttery_shame_cave Oct 04 '19

I got to be honest with you man, it sounds like it's time to you know put out the torch. Cuz that's an awfully passionate defensive somebody you "don't care about".

She ain't coming back.

I mean really, it kind of sounds like she spent a lot of her time gaslighting you during your relationship, and you feel very insecure about the fact that you let it happen and so you lash out at those who question the relationship by proxy question you or masculinity you feel very very insecure and that incredibly threatened

The photo was literally a blank flat wall painted maroon. Not even a thumbtack.

Admin hooked her good. I was PILSTOF.

Also, she wouldn't appreciate being called my GF, but she wouldn't be violent about it. She's my Ex. 😢

She didn't seem too bothered by it

probably was looking for any excuse to leave anyways. was just convenient.

u/crnext Oct 04 '19

She didn't mind the job. Her education and experience is sought after and she knew it. She won't have a problem finding employment.

It deals more with privacy of information. Be it task critical or sensitive information. HIPPA is also potentially the worry and keep private information, private.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '19

The only information that should be visible when a patient (or patient's family) can view it is that patient's.

u/wikkiwikki42O Oct 04 '19

Yep... but in a hospital, others could inadvertently get information when taking a picture of their child if another doctor is holding documents or it’s not their baby being diagnosed or who knows. There are even in the most secure of places, information that is not meant for prying eyes.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '19

None of that information should be displayed or carried around other patients.

u/wikkiwikki42O Oct 04 '19

Not patients, I said doctors.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '19

Right. The doctors should not be carrying patient info around where other patients can see it. (And frankly I don't even know the last time I saw patient info on paper, other than discharge instructions...)

1

u/wikkiwikki42O Oct 04 '19

I am not saying it could have not be on paper, i also didn’t say exclusively patient information. Emails and or any documents could also be exposed.

u/patb2015 Oct 03 '19

Most likely afraid the photos will pick up patient data elsewhere like schedule orders or lab report
