Taking Breaks
It is common for people working in health care to take care of everyone around them but forgetting to be mindful of them-selves.
A common response is ‘I can’t take my break; I don’t have time’; we encourage members to identify these issues to management. The employer will not be able to address workload issues if members continue to miss breaks and not communicate the issues.
