Question: Time Clocks Until the 1950s, most healthcare organizations did not require that employees use a time clock when arriving at or leaving work for meal breaks. Now, time clocks are the norm for hospitals and some other, but not all, healthcare organizations.
ASSIGNMENT: Survey several community hospitals, clinics, student health centers, home healthcare facilities, and other organizations that employ nurses. How many of them require nurses to use time clocks? How do you feel about professionals being required to use a time clock for meal breaks? Discuss this issue in class and with the nurses you know.
