LPN Student with offer to work as PRN

by Ric31

Hello All,

I am in my 2nd week of LPN school. My Mother is a RN and works at a university Hospital here in the Cleveland Area. Her supervisor told her that I could put in for an open position as a PRN in the MED SERG Unit. I have a few questions. 1st What qualifications does one need to work as a PRN. Like I said I just started LPN school and have very little knowledge of how things work and run in a hospital. 2nd What is MED SERG? 3rd do you think it would benefit me as a student to work this position while I am a full time student. Any insight you might have you be great. Thanks

I work at a hospital. I work PRN which means I work when I can when they need the help. Med Surg at our hospital is the floor where surgery patients are taken care of pre and post-op. I wouldn't think it would be much different at another hospital. I do think it would help you get some experience to work there. It may actually help you get hired somewhere after you become an LPN if you have some experience working in patient care.
