“My responsibilities include taking vitals of moms and babies, setting up charts, taking newborns to the nursery, helping moms get up after labor and teaching them how to take care of themselves and an emergency can happen at any time, it’s great to be able to call for backup,” said Seely. “My BlackBerry and OtterBox solution is a personal security device and if I need something or someone needs me it’s just a phone call away.”

The medical industry is relying more and more on these devices every year, especially expanding hospitals, it’s easier to find people and keep in touch when you can simply give them a call. At Seely’s hospital, at least 2-3 devices are ruined every month and staff has to wait for a new one to be sent out. It is a costly investment and leaves them out of touch while waiting on a replacement.

“One evening while I was charting, I set my BlackBerry down on the counter next to me and another nurse came by and accidentally bumped it off with her elbow. The phone fell, bounced a few times and came to rest upside down. I picked it up thinking the worst, but the phone and case looked as good as new! I am not sure what would have happened if it wasn’t in the OtterBox,” explains Seely.

“I would recommend OtterBox to doctors, nurses, helicopter and ambulance staff and those working in the ER,” said Seely. “Technology is used in the field every day and having protection for these devices to prevent replacements is vital.”
