I'm not saying nurses aren't overworked, but I don't doubt some of them are gaming the OT system somehow to maximize OT hours.
According to the article, the nurse who earned $510K would have to work 37.5 hours plus 77 additional hours on AVERAGE to hit that. That would mean on average, that nurse worked 16.5 hours a day for 7 days straight for 52 weeks straight. Does that even sound possible?
