But like you said...some common sense has to be used with cell phone use. I carried mine in my pocket all the time during my clinical but I only checked it when it was slow, bathroom breaks, and lunch breaks. If i rang (phone is always on vibrate only when I'm at work) I ignore it or press a buuton thru my pants to silence it and check it later if I am in the middle of xraying a patient.

As a student I am prohibited by my school from using cell phones during clinical. It seems like almost everyone brings their phone to work and just goes into a break room or office if they are going to use it. It seems perfectly acceptable to me, as long as you're not using it while "actually" working. Perhaps setting guidelines for cell phone use would be better than completely banning them.
