An "as needed" medication.
Forgive, I pressed return before the definition. It is Latin, Pro re nata, which means according to need.
So if you are employed as a prn, then they just call you when they need you?(sort of part-time)
Yes. Find out what your requirements are. Find out what you are guaranteed. And if you accept a job, please show up. We need you.
By the way, you will be called upon often, depending on where you are, of course. The nation is SO short on nurses.
