I used to miss lunches here and there before we had break nurses. I would feel too bad making another nurse with two patients of their own also watch MY two patients, many of which had things that needed to be done that could not wait 1/2 hour.
Now that we have dedicated break nurses, the nurse who watches my patients ONLY watches my patients. So anything needing to be done can reliably be done by that person.
Break nurses have been a godsend.
