In many places, you have to apply for a per diem job, go through HR and get officially hired as per diem. It takes more than asking for per diem status unless your workplace is very small.

There would have to be a per diem job available. There might not be one available. Then you'd have to go through whatever procedure your employer wants, to get it, if there is a job.

Don't count on it.

Many will let you stay PRN or per diem IF you were a good employee AND they need the help. They do not HAVE to do it.

Your employer is not obligated to allow you to switch to per diem/PRN status after you've submitted a resignation notice.
