Frequently Asked questions

"Per Diem” is a Latin term that means “by the day".  "PRN" means "as needed".  In simple terms you get paid when you work and don't when you are off.  Nurses Oklahoma Staffing help facilities that need additional staffing by sending them Nurses or Aides on a PRN basis.  This could be due to increased census, covering sickness/leave or on a more regular basis to cover open vacancies they may have.  For you, this could mean you are working at the same facility for multiple days or at a different facility each day.

No, with PCA or Home Health you would be working with an individual at their home.  With PRN/Agency work you would be working in a long term care facility, doctors office or hospital.
