Pharmacists 30 Minutes Break
 

As a student pharmacist and pharmacy intern at CVS pharmacy, I have seen what it is with pharmacists not allowed to take a 30 minutes break in a 13 hours shift. In my opinion, this is not the best way to go about the proffession because the body as we all know needs some rest at some point. Working for 12 hours without break may affect the pharmacist parformance with can indirectly affect the treatment/services patients get from pharmacists.
