Travel nurses during Covid made unbelievable bank. I know one nurse who was working the system and pulled in almost 500k for two years by manipulating the overtime system. I can’t blame them, they are totally oblivious at the system level and definitely don’t promote talented managers.
It’s funny when I hear all that nonsense about nurses not making money, since I’m so close to it and know better. Sure, some places pay crap, but most metropolitan areas pay out big—or have ways to work it. The hospital I know the most about also is considered the worst in the state. It’s actually got a reputation where people go to die. There are so many deaths on the floor and no one does anything about it. Totally preventable too. Wrong meds, skipped meds, patients being ignored or totally forgotten. It’s a fucking mess.
