Does anybody work strenuous 12 hour shifts that rotate between days and nights?

How do you work in the eating and lifting and pushing and pulling of your job?

I work on busy units - and days like today include no breaks and one decaf coffee, one opti, one bottle of water and one diet pop....

Advise? Besides the obvious....take care of yourself first.

I kept a lot of slim jims and cheese sticks in my pockets in the ER. It was better than nothing.

They're like overly processed meat sticks. Good quality beef jerky would be a better option!

Another good option is Otsrim meat sticks. High quality with tons of protein! 15gm of protein for a 1.5 oz stick. they have great flavors. I sue them all the time when working long days. You can find them on Amazon or or Ostrim.com. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for.
