"Why is it necessary for this person year after year after year to be working so much overtime? Is it not cheaper to hire somebody else? ... It doesn't seem right", one many asked and it seems as though everyone is asking this.

Over $630,000 over overtime was given to a nurse over 5 years on top of the nearly $58,000 per year salary.

According to USA Today, RN Mercy Mathew of Pomona, NY made more than $630,000 in overtime in less than five years claiming, according to her time card, worked 192 days straight. Her regular hours are 3 PM to 11 PM, but she would regularly stay until 7:30 AM.

She must have been the bionic nurse in her time to be able to work that many hours without any rest," said Democratic state Sen. Jeff Klein, D-Bronx.

 

Last year she snagged $150,630 on top of her $58,468 salary at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women. She also snagged the title in 2009, when she made $171,814 in overtime.
