“I know for a fact that an experienced nurse who work 6 days a week vs typical 3 days can make easily in the 130-150k range. ”
Um, sure, if someone is willing and able to work six 12 hour shifts in a week. My wife works three 12’s in the OR. My sister works three 12’s in the ER, and my ex worked three 12’s in ICU. By the end of the third shift they are all exhausted. This isn’t sitting on your butt playing on the computer (like my job). It’s being on your feet hustling for virtually the entire 12 hours.
You try that, for 12 hours a day 6 days a week, see how long you last.
