Plan A is offensive

Plan B is even more offensive

A very good question to ask the hospitals HR. How can anyone here give you an accurate answer, especially since you did not even list what hospital/country your working in!

Just remember...PRN is never actually guaranteed hours. You are cancelled before FT/PT staff. The 32 hours is your committment to the hospital (you agree to make yourself available for 32 hours/week). Try getting a mortgage as PRN.

I think it depends on where you work? I've known hospitals that called their "per diem" shifts that were only shifts without benefits but a higher rate of pay but still guaranteed hours. Seems like it depends on the company. None of it makes any sense to me. :)

I am PRN and I was able to refinance my mortgage to take advantage of the low rates... and this was when my husband was out of a job for a year and a half. I got a 15 year mortgage with a rate of 4.5% through Chase. All they wanted was my income for the past 2 years and it pretty much full time hours anyways since I rarely have had low census.

Even a "full time" person isn't guaranteed hours. Unless it's union or something, any hospital I've ever heard of will mandatorily low census who ever they have to if it comes to it.

Wells Fargo apparently lists PRN as not actually employed by the hospital. I had to have the VP for HR attest in writing I was truely employed by the hospital itself.
