What is a Chaplain PRN?

A Chaplain PRN (Pro Re Nata) is a spiritual care provider who works on an as-needed basis, usually in healthcare settings like hospitals or hospice facilities. They offer emotional and spiritual support to patients, families, and staff, regardless of religious affiliation. Their responsibilities may include providing prayers, counseling, and end-of-life support. Because PRN positions are on-call or per diem, chaplains may work irregular hours based on the organization's needs.

What does a Chaplain PRN do?

As a Chaplain PRN (pro re nata, or 'as needed'), your shifts often vary based on patient demand and facility needs, which can include weekends, evenings, or covering for staff chaplains. You may be called on to provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, families, and staff members, conduct religious rituals, or respond to urgent requests such as end-of-life care. Collaboration with doctors, nurses, and social workers is common, as you will often participate in interdisciplinary care rounds or consult on patient well-being. Flexibility, adaptability, and strong communication skills are essential, as the work environment can change quickly based on hospital census and emergent needs. This role offers the opportunity to gain diverse experience, often leading to increased responsibilities or a transition into a full-time chaplaincy position if desired.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a Chaplain PRN?

To thrive as a Chaplain PRN, you need a background in theology or pastoral care, experience in spiritual counseling, and often certification such as Board Certification from the Association of Professional Chaplains. Familiarity with electronic documentation systems and hospital protocols is important for efficiently recording visits and coordinating care. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to provide comfort in emotionally challenging situations help chaplains make a meaningful impact. These competencies ensure that patients and families receive compassionate spiritual support tailored to their diverse needs within healthcare settings.

Walk Alongside Children and Families During Life's Most Meaningful Journeys

Some careers allow you to make a difference.

This role allows you to help transform the experience of children and families facing serious illness, complex medical journeys, grief, and loss.

Guided by our values of Integrative & Holistic Care, Creativity & Innovation, Accountability & Advancement, Engagement & Collaboration, and Wonder & Whimsy, our team provides extraordinary support that honors the unique needs of every child and family.

This role is ideal for a social worker, chaplain, or family support professional who combines clinical expertise, emotional intelligence, and a passion for helping families navigate life's most challenging moments.

  • Participate in Transitions Kids team meetings and care planning discussions
  • Contribute to quality improvement and program development initiatives
  • Support orientation and mentoring of new team members and students
  • Participate in assigned after-hours coverage
  • Respond to urgent family support needs
  • Conduct home visits when needed to provide support during crises or at the time of a child's death
Who Thrives in This Role

Our strongest team members are:

  • Creative problem-solvers
  • Skilled relationship builders
  • Strong advocates for children and families
  • Emotionally resilient professionals
  • Collaborative team players
  • Comfortable working independently in the community

Why This Role Matters

Every family's journey looks different.

As a Pediatric Palliative Care Specialist - Family Support, you'll help children and families feel seen, heard, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.

Your compassion can help families find strength in uncertainty, comfort in difficult moments, and hope when they need it most.
