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 my coworkers works 2 full time positions at 2 different hospital. 6 shifts a week, every week.

I usually work 4 shifts a week. Very rarely do I do 5. When I do 5 I feel I have no time for anything. I respect the hustle, but wonder how some of these people do it.

Have you thought about working 5 one week and 3 the next? You will make more every paycheck this way if you are OT over 40 hours
