PRN (pro re nata, or 'as needed') Healthcare positions offer flexible scheduling, where shifts are typically assigned based on the facility's needs and your availability. Unlike full-time roles, you may work varying hours each week, covering gaps due to staff absences, high patient loads, or special projects. This setup allows for greater autonomy and work-life balance, though it requires adaptability and a willingness to work different shifts, including nights, weekends, or holidays. PRN staff are valued for their ability to step in and provide quality care at short notice, often gaining experience across multiple units or facilities.
