Frequently Asked Questions
• Is there a contact that is required to work PRN? What is the minimum requirement to work PRN?
PRN work, or per diem work, means that you work the occasional shift when it is convenient for you to do so. As a PRN nurse you schedule shifts that work with your schedule, based on the facilities needs. Proxy Healthcare only requires one shift every three months to maintain your status with the agency. Many of our contracted facilities only need an occasional shift covered and this is a great way for nurses to fill those roles.
• What shifts do you have available (days or nights)? How long are the shifts?
Staffing needs change on a day to day basis. Both days and night shifts are normally available at one facility or another. Currently our network of facilities all require 12-hour shifts but the occasional 8-hour shift can be permitted based on the needs of the facility.
• Is there an orientation period?
For contracted staff there is a one-shift orientation period. PRN staff are given a tour of the facility upon arrival and expected to hit the ground running. All clinical staff are expected to be proficient in their skills and abilities, along with the Electronic Medication Administartion Record (EMAR), prior to working at the facility.
• Is there availability for me to come tour the facility prior to a working shift?
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic there is minimal opportunity to tour the facilities at this time due to limited visitation across the healthcare spectrum. Any tours of the facility would be done on a case-by-case basis
• What is the pay rate for this position? How are hours paid?
The pay rate for the various positions we offer differ based on location, shift preference, COVID status, and facility. Hours are paid WEEKLY by direct deposit on the Friday following the week of work. Hours are logged by timecard and verified with the facility prior to payroll being filed.
