Where do you work? Are you able to take your breaks? 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. However, as a nurse getting closer to 40 years old, I have a hard time staying awake during that final stretch of 4 am on. Any tips? Also, I can't handle a lot of caffeine due to tachycardia, so that's not a viable option for me. TIA

Medication Assisted Treatment in the Inpatient Setting
Miranda Belcher posted a question in Community Questions
Should Doctors Continue Treatment When Patients Are Already on MAT at Home? Are doctors in the hospital continuing Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for patients who are already receiving this treatment at home? This topic raises important questions about the integration of MAT in hospital care and patient continuity of treatment. MAT has been proven to be an effective treatment method for substance use disorders, but if hospitals do not continue this treatment for patients who are already on it, are we hindering their progress and potentially jeopardizing their recovery? How do hospitals ensure that patients are receiving consistent and adequate MAT inpatient care? Join the discussion on the role of MAT in the hospital and share your thoughts and experiences. #MAT #hospitalcare #substanceusedisorder #continuityoftreatment #patientcare #doctors -
