Can you make a living just doing strikes?

I know strikes are controversial, but that aside, can you survive financially just doing strikes? I ask because I'm having a baby soon and I kinda don't want to be away from my newborn for long spans of time to do a full contract, but money is getting tight so I'm going to have to do something soon. My agency only offers 8, 13 and 20 week contracts but a friend of mine told me about a few strikes coming up and I think the longest one is 15 days. They all pay $75/hr and up. I don't know how often strikes actually happen though. I know there are always strike threats but I don't know how many unions go through with it. I know there would be times when no one is striking but I could stay afloat for a few months if I got $15,000 for doing a 2 week strike. Does anyone (or know of anyone who) actually makes a living just doing strikes?

I wouldn't mind doing strike nursing as it would help to pay off student loans. But this thread should close and I'm surprised it hasn't. All this name calling and back and forth? Not a good look for the nursing profession imo. But should I be surprised? Nope!
