It’s legal. Technically they threw out all policy about overtime during Covid. She didn’t steal anything. She just made sure to have over a certain number of house of overtime so that her final shift would push over a certain amount and she’d get double time for the entire shift and then she would stay over like 3 hours. She’d do this every week. And with the overtime rates at the time she was getting like $200/hr.
It kinda sucks for the other nurses though, because she put that floor wwaaaayyy over budget and they (the floor manager) got hit for it, which trickles down.
Quite a number of the nurses were taking advantage of the situation, but none of them like that. No one really cares if you grab an hour or two extra a week. Even if all you do is run some meds, they have the money.

Crappy situation.
So she screwed the floor over with her unethical plan.
You could say that, yes.
