Is she lying?
Ok, so my cousin is a nurse and she says she can make $800 dollars a day. But when I look up the salary for nursing it looks like she should be making half that.

I am no expert, but from what I understand there is plenty of overtime available.
So, if their policy is to pay time-and-a-half, or double time for anything over 8 hours, then yes. But that comes with poor care when they get tired and burnout.
Just my opinion.

@Teslin Did that "correct" to that?

@Teslin No, I mean was your original auto-"corrected" or did you use a speech-to-text tool? (Another post here last night seemed to use that, and it was a jumble.)

Hiring a private nurse from an agency can cost over $100/hour in some places depending on skills and qualifications. Generally the agency takes a big cut of that. But if a nurse is willing to make a deal directly with a family seeking private care, I can see how they could earn that much.

There’s different rates in different areas and also overtime.. also she said she can make 800$ a day but that doesn't mean she does every day .. she didn't say “I'm making 800$ a day” just maybe she can on a good day idk 😳

If she's a nurse practitioner she could surely make that. But a registered nurse makes roughly 40 dollars an hour, perhaps a few more. Let's say 43. 43 x 12 hours is $516. Maybe she mean she CAN earn up to 800 with overtime?

@Coralmist If they have wage-and-hour laws based upon an 8-hr work day,
12 clock hours worked
= 8 hr @ regular pay
+ 4 hr @ 150% pay ("time-and-a-half")
= (8 hr + 6 hr equiv) @ regular pay
= 14 hr PAY @ regular pay
($800/work day)(1 work day/14 hr pay)
= $57.14/hr
I'm not sure where you get your wage info.
Also, working weekends might be included and one might make double time pay (200% pay) after 40 hr/week, or on Sundays, with an additional bonus on holidays (leading to triple time, or 300% pay).

It depends on the type of nursing, education background, and hours worked. Nurse practioners can make $110-140 k a year , travel nurses around that too. But a regular nurse probably in the 80-100 k range with OT.
People often exaggerate how much their profession makes i have heard these kind of things many times, it is usually because the person does not like their job and is justifying not finding a new one.

The absolute max a nurse would be making is $600 a day before deductions unless she is working overtime or something.. and that’s at 80 an hour.
Maybe she is meaning a nurse on OnlyFans? 😌😆

Perhaps she does locum work. The daily rate would work out more than an annual salary.

Maybe shes hourly.

There's a money difference between being an LPN or RN too

Traveling Nurses may make that kind of money.

It probably also depends on where she’s a nurse.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
Is she adding her benefits package into that?

She's getting tips...

Depends on the hours and the hourly wage but yeah, it's possible.
