Many strike nurses make twice what they might make in a regular full-time position. Because our work is short-term in nature, many nurses take time off from their regular employment to enhance their total earnings for the year by working a few days a year in strike staffing.

Strike Nursing Jobs: Earn up to $80 an Hour

Strike nursing jobs are notorious for their high rates of pay. Keep reading to learn more about the need for strike nurses and how much a nurse can earn working on a strike job. 

Nurse Staffing Shortages

When nurses work too many hours, with too many patients - that is, with an unsafe nurse-to-patient ratio -or too little support and are unable to take breaks when they need them, accidents in hospitals can happen, patient care is delayed, and patient safety is reduced. Overall, nurses get burnout, get stressed, get sick, and often make mistakes that can be fatal to patients' health. For this reason, nurses strike when there are poor job opportunities, when salaries are low, or when there is a shortage of nurses. Due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic, there is an increasing shortage of nurses, leading to nurses' strikes in many regions.

For example, in Minnesota, one of the longest and most prominent nurses' strikes in a long time was announced, affecting most of the hospitals in the region, and the response of the authorities and health centers is to get striking nurses to provide immediate support, with a hefty paycheck.

Additionally, the health science center (HSC) currently has a tremendous shortage of nurses, resulting in insecurity for patients, inability to admit more people, with nurses working double shifts, no breaks, extreme fatigue, and critical and dangerous conditions.

Furthermore, while nurses are protesting, there are still patients in these hospitals who need urgent care from nurses. For this reason, nurses are hired immediately when nursing strikes are confirmed.

Travel Nursing Strike Jobs

There are many questions surrounding strike nursing jobs, for example:

• Are strike nursing jobs safe jobs?

In general, strike nursing jobs are safe. Agencies give nurses a few days' notice of where they need to go and when. If a shift is canceled, many agencies offer to pay for the job in case the nurse has already begun her journey.

Regarding safety, there are some occasions when the nurses on strike feel very angry with the staff coming in to replace them. Hence, hospitals hire security for all the teams working on strike days, ensuring that there is no physical danger to them. Despite this, it can often be emotionally tricky for striking nurses to hear and see them on strike, so it is necessary to consider this before starting.

• How to find strike nursing jobs?

There are many options for getting a strike nurse job. One of the best ways is through a strike nurse agency that gives nurses a few days' notices when a strike is coming up so they can prepare and be ready. There are also travel nursing strike jobs listed on the Nursa app , which allows nurses to connect directly with employers for PRN jobs or as travel nurses.

• What are the advantages of strike nursing?

One of the most significant advantages of working as a strike nurse is, without a doubt, the pay. There have been times when strike nursing has been seen to pay as much as $80 per hour when a strike nurse is urgently needed. Taking this position is often a way to help a hospital and patients in need and get two or three weeks of work done in a couple of days.

Another advantage is that hotel or accommodation, as well as transportation and security, are provided by the employer or the agency that arranges the jobs for the strike nurse. Strike nurses have to do their job, get used to a new hospital environment in a few hours, and treat patients with the empathy that distinguishes them.

• How much do strike nurses make?

It depends on how much the employer is willing to pay, but these jobs usually pay very well, and they can earn in a few days the salary they would typically make in weeks.

Why It’s Important to Fill Strike Nursing Jobs 

 It is essential to be able to cover the shifts of striking nurses. But it is also necessary to follow safe staffing guidelines in each workspace to avoid getting to the point where nurses must go on strike to get what they need. When nurses go on strike, they often get an increase in staffing, a raise in wages, or an improvement in working conditions. On the other hand, if the strike doesn't work for whatever reason, nurses risk being out of a job or going on strike indefinitely and without pay. If this happens, they can always rely on PRN jobs, which are paid by the hour and on their available schedules. Consequently, they will be able to seek better job opportunities and support patients.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
