Overtime and Lunches?

[medsurgrnco]

What is your average overtime per shift & what type of unit do you work on? Does computer documentation contribute to increased overtime? Do you have time for lunches, and do your coworkers cover your patients so you can have an uninterrupted lunch break?

It blows my mind that a on duty nurse gets a break to sleep. Never would happen here, unless she took her lunch break and she better be back in 30 minutes.

Thanks for all the responses. They give me hope that someday I will find a job where I can take a relaxed lunch and breaks, and get out on time.
