What is a PRN RN case manager?

A PRN RN Case Manager is a registered nurse who works as needed (PRN stands for 'pro re nata,' meaning 'as the situation arises') to coordinate patient care, often across different healthcare settings. They assess patient needs, develop care plans, and collaborate with doctors, social workers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure quality, cost-effective care. PRN roles offer flexible scheduling, allowing nurses to work only when required, which is ideal for those seeking work-life balance or supplemental income. This position requires strong communication, organizational, and critical thinking skills.
