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.

One of the units at my hospital has shifts for a break nurse. It’s a 6 hour shift, swan in at 11, take over a patient assignment for 30-45 minutes, repeat for every nurse on shift, remember to take your own lunch break, and go home at 6. It’s seriously a princess shift.

I’d work 3 12s and 4 6s every week

I'm too cranky to not have a couple days off a week.
