I know of no nurses that work this schedule, even voluntarily (overtime, swaps).
Nursing in many states is challenged by unsafely high patient:staff ratios, excessive documentation requirements (on extremely slow user interfaces), and the need to vigorously double-check physician's orders (dangerous drug interactions, over-dosages, etc).
I used to work in a hospital laundry (where we were understaffed, of course), and I spent my lunch hour talking with nurses. Many were actually NAs and had to work second shifts at different hospitals to make a living wage. So even if the hospitals are reporting normal shifts, the personnel are actually working up to twice as many hours.
There you have it: she was working agency at a secondary hospital. That is due to a decision of her agency or herself; it has nothing to do with hospital administration or nursing in general.
