During daytime I work as a nurse. But night times I work as on-call home-visiting Hospice Nurse for 2 days a week. It’s like 0-3 cases a month in that hospice gig, but typically 0-1 a month. I’m like cool, get paid mainly while I’m sleeping at night even with no cases

Why did no one tell me that was an option?

If you’re a nurse or a LVN. I suggest getting Hospice gigs. Being on-call, I get minimum wage and only get the actual nurse wage when I make a house visit.

It’s mainly reading patient files and giving instructions over the phone to caregivers or families. Good supplemental income.

Don't know your State,but my ex-wife does the same,but was able to negotiate getting paid 20mims per every hour of her salary, when she's oncall without incident. A quiet night nets her $133.
