The three things that I'm considering:

1) Individual packs of trail mix - It's nutritious (albeit salty) and tasty
2) Bagels - I love 'em and they're better than donuts, especially if you can forego the cream cheese (uh, yeah, right...)
3) Muffins - I'm a sucker for poppyseed muffins.

So, when you're having a hectic day, what would bless you to find sitting on the table when you pop into the break room for 5 minutes?
We used to do this at my school. Mainly because the floor we were on was so hectic not even us students got a chance to eat or take a break.

Dunkin Donuts is a big thing around here and nurses loved them. We would bring in a couple boxes of Joe with munchkins in the morning. On our last day of clinicals we would all pitch in and put a great basket of goodies together (grab-n-go) snack........big hit with them.

During snow days clinicals, my friend would bring in her crock pot and make chili. That was a HUGE hit (especially since it was night shift clinical) and caf was closed.

I love it when there is a veggie tray w/ ranch dressing in the break room ... you can run in & munch on some veggies & get a little burst of energy!

How about a break! It seems that you can't go in there for break or lunch and not be interrupted with a phone call or constant questions. Just a thought...

Chocolate! Any form! Kisses or the one-bite mini-chocolate bars so you don't go overboard. Or brownies, cut into bite-size pieces for just a taste of chocolate. (You can even buy what they call a "bucket of brownie bites" around here; a plastic container of micro brownies that are spoonful sized portions of batter baked in tiny muffin or cookie shapes.)

Give me CHOCOLATE or else!!

There are times when you just have to have it...

The real thing, 70% is supposed to be very good for you. I believe it, maybe because I want to.
