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’s not worth working like that anymore now that rates dropped last year. Before you could do 29 shifts and make over $30k. Now it’s just $14k? Absolutely not. I have friends that work 6-7 days a week regularly though. 12-hour shifts. The pandemic made a lot of nurses used to it. I couldn’t do more than 5 a week though lol.
