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 was traveling and worked 21 weeks straight, no days off, i worked every extra shift i could. That was my wall, manager actually made me take time off. It sucked but the money put my finances in a place where I want to be. It was rough, but earning opportunities like that dont come along often, so you have to hop on it if you want the reward.
