How often do you take breaks if any?

When doing a 12 hour shift and standing on your feet for 11/12 hrs, how do you manage to take a break ? Do hh health abide by labor laws?

I have one case where I'm constantly standing, if I sit it looks as though I'm not doing anything...per family. So I'm constantly moving. Sometimes I just want a few minutes to my self. I also don't eat meals on my shifts because I don't feel comfortable and like to eat in private.

Any advice ?

    You could check with your state labor board. I checked with ours and they told me that they don't get in solved with hh cause they are different.??

    If you feel uncomfortable, then make arrangements to go to another case. Eleven out of twelve hours to be totally uncomfortable is too long. I sit for as long as I need to on my shift and I don't feel guilty about it. My patient care gets done just fine. If I were not allowed to sit, then I would leave the case. And my client's mother remarked to me one time that she noticed that I was constantly working.
