Curious to see how other facilities offer lunch breaks, especially on nights, when there are minimum staffing requirements.
I work in an ED/level II trauma center, and we have our core minimum staff overnight. If they leave the department to take a break, that means bad things for our minimum staffing.
Not to mention getting breaks is tough enough, but now there is concern that we leave the department with less than our required minimum of staff.
What are other places doing to combat this?
not as much of an issue on days when leadership and other staff can offer coverage.
