FAQ
It’s important to realize that PRN shifts are not salaried positions and are paid by the shift. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, registered nurse jobs in NYC pay an average of $53.31 per hour, though that figure doesn’t distinguish between regular employment and PRN shifts, which could pay more.
In NYC, RNs are typically required to have an associate degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN). For other requirements, including licensure requirements, head to the New York Education Department, Office of Professions.
The major benefit of being a PRN nurse is that you’re empowered to work when and where you like. Another benefit to being a PRN nurse is that per-hour compensation can be higher, but that is not always the case.
