Re: How often do you take a break?

I don't work as a floor nurse, so my situation is a little different. I can really take a break whenever I want to, and whenever the work load will allow. If I need a break, I just have someone cover for me for 5 minutes and I go get a drink of water or a snack or whatever. There are only 15 people there, so it's never really a problem. In an 8-hour day, I take 2-3 five minute breaks and one 20 minute lunch.

Never if you go by the legal definition of a break.

Re: How often do you take a break?

Breaks??? What are those??? lol. According to our company policy: two 10 minute breaks are allowed if "time allows". Let me tell you, time never allows, and most days I am lucky if I can take a 30 minute lunch break!
