what does prn mean
If you're looking for a full-time job in the hospital and can't find one, a PRN job can help you get your foot in the door. The initials PRN stand for the Latin phrase pro re nata, which means as the situation demands.. If your job is PRN, it means you only work when they need you. It's hard to plan your life or your budget around PRN work, unless you're the one who decides when and how often to work, but there are also benefits to working PRN.
