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.

It would seem that outpatient dialysis is the fantasy hospital they currently work at so yes, their stable, largely self-caring patients aren't just going to cark it if you leave them for lunch.

I also saw that but wasn’t gonna go there, but I’m happy you did. 😂 any dialysis schedule makes way more room for lunch than any inpatient hospital schedule.

Have 8 of your own med surg patients, plus keeping an eye on 8 of your buddy's is certainly a different ball game
