A friend of mine had to become his wife's driver, because after working double shifts across two hospitals, she could barely keep her eyes open.

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.

Many hospitals are based across multiple locations, so it's not necessarily agency work.
