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.

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).
