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.

If your hospital offers bonuses for picking up, capitalize on it. Tripling my income this year as a new grad
