The title was difficult to word but if you work 8 or 12 hr shifts, how many days straight have you worked and not had a day off?

When I was a CNA, there was one point where I worked 14 days in a row. Most of them were 8 hour shifts, but some were just 4 hours.
When I was in my last semester of nursing school, between my job, school, and my preceptorship, I would often go 2 weeks or more without having a day where I didn't have at least one of the above going on. And I was pregnant at that time too.
Since I've been an RN, the most I have worked is 7 8 hour shifts in a row.

Nine 12 hour night shifts in a row. High acuity, low experienced staff.

Gosh...we had a nurse that would only take off a few days a month. Most days were 8hrs, but she would double a few times a week.
