    Do you have 30 minutes for lunch?

    noyesno replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    A big pet peeve of mine is when a patient/pharmacist/anyone else needs me for something non-emergent while I'm lunching my coworkers/secretary will lie to them and say, "she's in a patient's room."...
