As of Aug 21, 2026, the average hourly pay for security guard prn in the United States is $19.03, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $15.38 and $18.75 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a Security Guard PRN?

A Security Guard PRN is a security professional who works on an as-needed or per diem basis, rather than having a fixed schedule. PRN stands for 'pro re nata,' a Latin term meaning 'as the situation demands.' These guards are typically called in to cover shifts during busy periods, staff shortages, or special events. Their duties generally include monitoring premises, ensuring safety, responding to emergencies, and enforcing security protocols. This flexible role is common in hospitals, businesses, and event venues that require extra security at unpredictable times.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Security Guard PRN?

To thrive as a Security Guard PRN, you need a solid understanding of safety procedures, surveillance techniques, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with security systems, CCTV monitoring, and sometimes state security guard licensure or certifications (such as CPR/First Aid) are typically required. Strong observational skills, effective communication, and the ability to remain calm under pressure help you stand out in this role. These skills are critical for maintaining a safe environment, responding to incidents, and ensuring the security of people and property.

What are the typical shift patterns and expectations for a Security Guard PRN?

Security Guard PRN (pro re nata, or 'as needed') positions often require flexibility, as shifts are assigned based on organizational needs, which can include evenings, weekends, and holidays. You may be called in to cover absences or increased security demands, so adaptability and readiness to work on short notice are important. PRN security guards typically work independently or as part of a rotating team, and must quickly familiarize themselves with different sites or protocols. This role offers valuable hands-on experience and can serve as a stepping stone toward full-time security positions.

What is the difference between Security Guard Prn vs Security Officer?

AspectSecurity Guard PrnSecurity Officer
CredentialsBasic security license, sometimes additional certificationsSimilar licensing, may require ongoing training
Work EnvironmentVaries, including hospitals, events, or temporary sitesTypically permanent sites like buildings, malls, or facilities
Employer & IndustryTemporary or per diem roles, often in healthcare or eventsFull-time or part-time roles in security services, retail, or corporate settings

Security Guard Prn and Security Officer roles share similar credentials and work environments, but Prn positions are often temporary or per diem, providing flexibility for various industries. Security Officers usually hold permanent roles with consistent responsibilities. Both roles are essential in security operations, with Prn roles offering more scheduling flexibility.

How to get a job as a security guard prn?

To get a PRN security guard position, candidates typically need a valid security guard license or certification, which varies by state or region. Relevant skills include surveillance, communication, and report writing, and some employers may require prior experience or a background check. Flexibility in scheduling and the ability to work on an as-needed basis are also important for PRN roles.

What is the hourly rate for a security guard prn?

The hourly rate for a security guard prn (as-needed) typically ranges from $12 to $20 per hour, depending on location, experience, and the specific employer. PRN security guards often work flexible hours and may require certifications such as CPR or first aid.
