The anonymous nurse highlighted the benefits of being paid based on shifts, enabling her to earn a considerable income, save money, and have a positive impact on her financial situation.

“You are paid based on shifts. So even if you are paid 15 pounds an hour and you work for 12 hours a day, four times a week, you multiply it that’s how much you earn. If I make 2800 pounds a month and I pay a tax of say 500 and pay my rent, I can still save around 800 pounds," she said.

According to her, newfound stability and financial security have not only empowered her to care for herself but also support her family back in Ghana.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, another Ghanaian nurse called Abena (not her real name) said she is unable to save that much.
