I support this proposed change to the Regulations Governing the Practice of Pharmacy in Virginia to establish a limitation on the number of hours a pharmacist can work continuously to 12, and a requirement for breaks during a 12 hour shift.
As a pharmacist in the hospital setting, a 30 minute meal break is required for any employee working more than 6 continuous hours. I fail to see why my retail counterparts are not covered by the same benefits we enjoy in health-systems.
