Traveling is fine if you're under 30 with no family but it's not an option for most. Per diem just means not committed to a weekly schedule but they get paid the same. Sometimes though rare they give extra incentives to cover open shifts but nothing that gets you anywhere near $100k. At least at MaineHealth

This. My wife and I are in healthcare and moved here during the pandemic. She's a nurse and I am non-patient facing. It's crazy to me the gap of what I make compared to her. If we stayed in Western mass she would be by far the bread winner and making over 100k but no we moved to Maine and she makes 60k with more patients and less benefits. I see how much Maine hospitals rely on agency RN's and its not sustainable yet they are doing nothing to retain employed nurses. Dumbasses are going to be fucked as more continue to retire or leave patient facing jobs. My wife is going towards remote triage nursing because if you're going to get paid shit might as well not break your back caring to 6 dying patients at one time

We have a 9500 that I've gotten 12hrs out of running the boiler, well pump, fridge, lights, etc with 6.6 gallon capacity. This is at night when the load is under 25% of max capacity. During the day I'll throw on a stove burner, dishwasher, washer (none at the same time) and I get about 10hrs. This past storm I went through 10 gallons a day. I keep 25gallons on hand.
