Any Suggestions for Earning extra Dosh?

Options
Hi All
Havent been on here for a while so sorry if this post is in the wrong place!

I work full time as a nurse and am looking at ways to earn some extra money at weekends/evenings.

Have put myself down for agency and bank work for past 6 weeks with no work coming my way! Also, my mystery shops dried up when i went away for a month. Despite ringing and emailing them to ask them for work I have had no offers!!:confused:

Any creative ideas out there.

Thanks

    Are your colleagues getting banks shifts? Most trusts prefer bringing in bank staff as it's cheaper than employing more in-house staff.Everyone i know doing bank work are getting so much they need to knock it back to do their contracted shifts.

    Edit: are you a staff nurse grade or higher?
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

    Thanks, yes, I think the problem is that I cant do the long days they require, so that is why I dont get offered bank shifts at the hospital i work full time at. I have thought about registering else where but need money in the mean time while I investigate that.
    Patience is not my strong point even if patients are!

    do market research.
    I got £50 to evaluate TomToms, I refused £35 to have to drink Budweiser (US) and comment on their advertising

    do website testing or "usability testing"
    £100 or so probably for half a day

    Qualify as a masseur - would be good that you are in nursing too
    £30 an hour, but must deal with a few dodgey emails etc

    Event security? Rock concerts etc, don't need to be male or threatening

    There are even people paid to moderate chat-rooms...

    Try having a look through the "great 'bit on the side' hunt" thread in mortgage free wanabee, that may give you some ideas. Click here. :)
    I live in my own little world, but it's ok as everyone knows me here :)
