Vewing a job offer (which are rare these days) I ran across a PRN at a hostpital. What actually does a PRN do?

"as needed'. Typically written on prescriptions such as "1 T(with dot over it) BID PRN which translates to:

1 tablet twice a day as needed

Of course! Thank you!

It is an employee who works on an as needed basis. Many hospitals are going to this now.

[B]Thank you for your reply. I love you're icon! Is a PRN part or all of the clerical staff

PRN is usually the nursing staff. We have full time nurses, part time nurses and PRN nurses who only work a couple of times a month or whenever our staffing is low due to illness or an increase in census.
