What do you wish for in a break room?

Published

My hospital is revamping a breakroom for nursing staff. Actually, they are finally making one. This is one that is a central breakroom in addition to small mini breakrooms (that are actually unused pt. rooms) on individual floors. The hospital is actually asking us for our input for what we want the breakroom to include. I'm interested in what others are thinking as well...

If you could, what would you want in your breakroom??? TIA~

I don't care if I have a futon. But it is nice to put my feet up for 20 to 30 minutes,ALONE and if I just happen to doze off I would like a timer that I can set to get me back on my feet. The microwave is nice. My dream break room would also have a little kitchenette with a garbage disposal for when we bring in pot luck and want to clean up.

wow i think i have only ever seen our break room twice. once on the tour when i started and once to wake up another nurse that was sleeping in it.

i do agree with the others a locked door with no window on it would be nice.

It would be nice if breakrooms at my workplaces had ATM machines. ;)
