I doubt it'll be two in a row. Someone else suggested to me (who works at that hospital) that i pump en route, then can get a break 4 hours, then can pump on my way home, which would be no big deal for going 4 hours in between. </p> <p>@ldh112: Yeah i'm not sure. I've always taken for granted i have a good job and never really had to consider pumping while making min wage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-with-unpredictable-schedule#post-2298222 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 12:06:16 +0000 ldh112 2298222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I understand, if you work a full shift (this will vary from job to job, some being 7.5 hrs, 8 hrs, etc) you are entitled to 2 breaks, whether p/t or f/t regardless of wages. If you were working less than that, maybe it would be different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-with-unpredictable-schedule#post-2298218 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 12:02:02 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2298218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you are super consistent at your regular job and you make sure to pump or nurse frequently when at home, even 1 pump during those days wouldn't totally ruin your supply. Are the days gonna be all in a row or spread out? Could you pump right before work, getting there a little early? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-with-unpredictable-schedule#post-2298172 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 11:19:40 +0000 JoJoGirl 2298172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see no reason why you aren't legally entitled to a break - but will you have a supervisor there who can coordinate that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-with-unpredictable-schedule#post-2298167 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 11:11:04 +0000 blackbird 2298167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really, no one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-with-unpredictable-schedule#post-2297807 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 07:45:09 +0000 blackbird 2297807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...as an employee in a hospital? </p> <p>I just accepted a part time job scribing at a local hospital in the ER (through a scribe company, so I'm contracted to the hospital). I'm applying to PA school this summer. I was hoping to hold off a few months, but here I am. T is 4 months old and we're EBF. </p> <p>I'm looking at 2-3 shifts a week. There are other scribes, but they will all be young and college aged, and probably not very understanding when I ask for them to step in for me. Will the doctors I work with even be supportive? Or annoyed that I need to run off and do my thing?</p> <p>I'm still legally entitled to breaks, yes? Even as a part time, minimum wage employee? </p> <p>If i can only pump once or twice a shift at this job, but still pump regularly at my other job, my supply probably won't tank, right? I mean, it's pretty darn established right now. </p> <p>I'd like to continue pumping full time until he's 6 months old, then start dropping pump sessions</p> <p>Also, I checked my freezer stash the other day. I've added 60 ounces in a month. Whoops. So i have 120 ounces or so to rely on. </p>
