What is an anesthesia tech PRN?

Anesthesia Tech PRNs, or Per Diem Anesthesia Technicians, are healthcare professionals who assist anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists with the preparation and maintenance of anesthesia equipment and supplies. They work on an as-needed basis, filling in shifts when there is increased demand or staff shortages. Their responsibilities often include setting up anesthesia machines, monitoring equipment, stocking supplies, and ensuring a sterile environment in the operating room. PRN status allows flexibility, as these technicians do not have a fixed schedule but are called to work when needed.
