Nursing Hacks 29 shifts in a row

I have a job but I sometimes try to make extra money on the side,I saw a tiktok where a nurse was working 29 shifts in a row and at the end she had a extra $14,000, a friend just got a roommate, another friend picks up PRN shifts at another hospital instead of doing over time I'm wondering what are some cool ways you guys.

Last year I was working 5-6 shifts in a row consistently. Made 230k in total. It was rough.

Yeah I was about to save 100k since I was living with my parents at that time. It was tough but worth the grind.
