I know a lot of nurses forgo their breaks so they can catch up on charting or might even sneak a snack as they don't feel that they have sufficient time to take a break, but I firmly believe a 30-minute lunch away from your work is good for recharging. What are other nurses doing? Are you taking your breaks?

Do you have any tips for fellow nurses working the night shift? When I was younger, I loved nights for the freedom of management and shift differential.

Also, I can't handle a lot of caffeine due to tachycardia, so that's not a viable option for me. TIA
