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.

During Covid I routinely did 29 in a row. The money and the PTSD were fucking LIT. 😭
