PRN shifts can be a great alternative to a CNA job, or even a way to make extra income while working full- or part-time.
Post-acute-care and skilled-nursing communities post PRN CNA shifts when staff call out or if they have unfilled shifts in their schedule. They also post them when they have more admissions than their employees can handle and need extra coverage.
To find coverage, they either use an agency or, more commonly these days, post PRN shifts on technology platforms that connect them directly to licensed certified nursing assistants.
Working PRN shifts may also help you find a full- or part-time CNA job that’s a good fit because you can test drive a facility before accepting an offer. Or you can just try facilities with open PRN shifts to see which you like best.
