Thanks, everyone, for your input. I wasn't sure if there was a law or not. I just wanted to make sure before I said something when I didn't need to. The only reason I care about this specific job is because it's only 20 minutes from home. It's the only place in my county that employs RNs. Everywhere else RNs have to drive an hour or more.

Because I have a family to feed and bills to pay, and need extra hours. Plus, it's not fair treatment.

I don't have any write-ups. That was the only bad thing on my record, and corporate h.r informed me. When they did the investigation to reinstate me that it was cleared off my record, I can't pick up any shifts if they don't offer them. I can't just show up and work, LOL. But it's OK. I have a full-time position now and plan to resign.

It's a public forum, which is what it's for for people to ask questions. Geeze.

Well, that supervisor is no longer there. Like I said, she retired.

This is how it has always been done there.

It seems that way. Oh well. As long as they keep me on the schedule till I resign, they can't give me any bad reviews from future employers. That incident last month is no longer on my record.

And this is a nursing home in which the shifts are only days and weekends for at least 8 hours.

My hours varied. But up until then, I was getting at least one day per month. Most of the time more. As far as I know, there aren't any required hours, but I can't refuse 3+ days in a 30-day period.

I just took a full-time position somewhere else, mane the new supervisor, whom I am friends with, told me not to resign until it becomes a conflict.

They didn't hire this one full-time. They hired her PRN too. And by policy would have to offer me a full-time position before hiring a new employee since I am already an employee.

This employer does not have those types of conditions. The only condition that I am aware of or have been informed of is that you can not refuse 3+ days in a 30-day period. I know they aren't going to give me hours over a full or part-time employee. But the problems come in when I have had issues with them in the past that they kept saying they called when they didn't or left a voicemail when they didn't. So I gave them 2 more numbers, including my dad's, who lives right next door, and they've never attempted to call those numbers either. I also had an incident last month when I received a self-term notice in the mail for refusing 3 days. I didn't. I had to contact h.r. And let them investigate. They had to give me my position back. 1 of those days, I told them to let me know for sure if they needed me, but I never heard back cause they weren't sure at the time if they did. The second my supervisor told me not to come in. Since then, I've been offered no hours. Not called even once. I know they need someone bc one of the full times went to the supervisor's position since our supervisor retired and the other pen quit. That only leaves them with 1 full-time and me. Plus, they have 2. LPNs can do most of the job requirements, but they have schedules of their own. And they hired a new RN. I don't understand how they are hiring a new RN when they tell me there are no hours for me and I have to be offered hours before the LPNs bc of job requirements, but they are giving hours to the Lpn.

Is there a law on how many hours an employee must work in a specific time frame as a PRN employee? I remember when I worked full time at a hospital, a PRN employee had told me they had to provide her with, or she had not to turn down any days, to equal, I think, a specific amount of hours in a 90-day period. The reason I am asking is my current PRN job isn't giving me any hours. There has been a conflict between me and a previous supervisor that retired a week ago about not giving me hours, and now they've not given me any in 2 months. They keep saying there aren't any hours, but 2 of the RNs left, and they are hiring another, which would have less seniority than me, and I'd have to be offered them first.
