cant say for 12 hours shifts, but my mom once worked a month straight, exactly thirty days on nights, 8 hour shifts, and she pulled some doubles as well.
6 night shifts and then I rear ended someone on the way home so I called out for number 7. I left that job shortly after since the NM couldn't seem to work a schedule.
6, it was fine. Although I think it was because I was going on vacation afterwards. 4 days I don't mind so much (when I'm not pregnant) 5 or more I better have something I'm looking forward to doing on my days off. My favorite schedule is 3 in a row, 4 off, 3 on, etc.
Friend did 12, 12hr shifts and the on the 13th day she look like she was going to die. She had to call in sick for the whole week, she said she will never do that again.

What is the highest amount of 12 hour shifts you have done as a nurse?
