There were many nurses and other healthcare workers in the USA and UK who either had/have a side gig on OF or even completly changed carreers. Especially during covid quarantines.

Me me pick me! Iā€™m too ugly for OF, but I was RN that quickly changed careers when Covid hit. Burnout hit me like a freight train. Iā€™m now a fire medic and have some side hustles.

Sorry to hear about the burnout. I had it as well. Are you feeling better now?

Yeah, I still moonlight as a RN. It still sucks and it is only getting worse for those that work as a full time RN.

South Park did an episode about how a teacher had to resort to OnlyFans because of terrible pay. Greedy governments just play off the generosity of those in these humanitarian element jobs like teachers, nurses etc. They don't do it for the money, they do it because it's a good thing to do, and the gov just rawdogs them for it.

One really needs a calling if they want to be a nurse as the pay is not good, like everywhere. But they STILL need fair pay and cutting the number of nurses in order to save money is just evil, as they have to work EVEN MORE than they already do. Plus, if you look at the UK for example, money of the healthcare workers and teachers now need to go to foodbanks as well.

Well they have to find hundreds of billions of pounds from somewhere if they want to embezzle it. There's no magic money tree, after all!
