What is an Endoscopy RN PRN?

An Endoscopy RN PRN is a Registered Nurse who works on an as-needed (PRN, or 'pro re nata') basis in the endoscopy department. These nurses assist with procedures involving the use of endoscopes to diagnose or treat conditions within the digestive tract. Their responsibilities include preparing patients, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, assisting physicians during procedures, and providing post-procedure care. Working PRN means their shifts are flexible and based on the department's staffing needs.
