Explore the world of PRN nursing, where you can enjoy the freedom to choose your assignments while working when & where you want.

With the end of the public health emergency, contract nursing rates have fallen as hospitals turn away from travel contracts & towards preferring local nurses. In order to continue earning extra income while maintaining career flexibility, many nurses have made the switch to working PRN shifts. Here’s why so many nurses have left the traditional model to join the world of PRN.

  • Travel nursing contract rates have fallen

  • Travel assignments may require "floating" and don't give you control of your schedule.

  • Travel nurses don't know whether their contracts will be cancelled or extended.

  • Constantly relocating leaves many nurses homesick and out of touch with friends & family.
