As caregivers, we spend a lot of time overdelivering and caring for our patients. Over time, you may have noticed that this results in us sacrificing our own personal needs on and off shift. If I had a dollar for every time I had to plead with a colleague to go for their break to hear “I will go shortly” to never go, I would be a billionaire I reckon. I personally used to think there was some form of glory in not, taking my breaks and caring for myself.
