TY - JOUR AU - Jones, John W. AB - Based on anonymous survey responses from 31 nurses, results showed that the average nurse extended her work breaks each week without authorization by over 25 minutes. Moreover, nursing personnel most likely to lapse over into unauthorized break time (a) scored reliably higher on a dishonesty test measuring attitudes, values, and perceptions toward theft and (b) had significantly higher scores on a burnout scale than nurses who strictly adhered to their work break schedules. Implications of these findings are discussed.
