When does everyone take their breaks? I work on a unit with another nurse and I have been taking my breaks according to what is outlined in the shift routine. Does anyone else take their breaks on the exact time that you're supposed to or whenever you get the chance, or earlier if your work is done on time?

You take your breaks when you can -- if it's earlier, take it then or you won't have another chance!

Gotcha! I would just feel bad for taking a break "early" but might as well because then I can get back on the floor early
