How many 12-hour shifts in a row have you ever worked?

[Crystal Baker Shoaie]

I’m curious about everyone’s experiences with long shifts. How many 12-hour shifts have you worked in a row, and what do you do to recharge during those marathon sessions? It would be great to hear what techniques or tricks have worked for you to stay energized when you are utterly exhausted.

Oh! I've never done something like that, but I would love the insight from other nurses who have! More than a 12-hour shift sounds just crazy!
