LTC floating?

if you are prn you work as they need you and where they need you, you probably will work all of the units eventually

This would be normal. Even as a routine staff member, you may not be able to assume that you would have the same assignment daily

I work LTC prn and I usually work wherever they need help that day. But because I only work 1-2 days a week, everyone is really good about letting me keep the same assignment two days in a row if I work two days in a row. When I only work one day a week of course I could float anywhere between the three units. My facility is small, so I am familiar with the majority of the residents, but I still prefer a certain assignment. I've learned to adapt and just do my job and hope I get the one I enjoy the most.

At our facility, all of the PRN people work all the different floors. We even have a few full-time who float depending on where they are needed. But for the most part, full-timers have their permanent floors. Most refuse to work another if they have a permanent. But that is why we have the back up PRN workers.

I was hired part time to work on one floor and that is the only one that i work on. Our prn staff are the ones that float to different floors as needed. Usually prn or pool staff get paid a few extra dollars more than the regulars.

I am thinking about LTC. I'm an RN...what does an RN typically do?

Hi! Sorry to ask this but I am just new here and not yet familiar with some words. What is PRN?

PRN means...as needed. They schedule you on an "as needed" basis :)
