PRN Question!

When being considered for a PRN position, is it required for the applicant to have actual experience in that speciality? I would like to know if a facility would provide extra training for RNs that have experience in another area? I have experience in obstetrics and would like to expand my skills into other specialities. If this even possible to do PRN? I have no clue! I would greatly appreciate any responses and advice when considering going PRN.

Thanks,

Pink

    I know at our hospital you have to have some experience to work in speciality areas, just like I can't go work PRN in L/D because I would have no clue how to read a strip or handle a laboring mom. I can go work in peds, peds ICU, nursery and peds ER or outpatient peds because of my experience.

    There may be places that will hire you, but you aren't going to get a full orientation.

    Thanks for your help! Hopefully I can find something that interests me. I would love to find NICU work...wonder if I would even be considered or get a proper orientation.
