Therapists can take assignments without being tied to a specific facility for an extended period., • Weekend and Holiday Shifts: PRN therapists may be called upon to cover weekend shifts or holidays, along with regular weekday shifts. These shifts often come with premium pay rates. Working weekends can also provide a quieter environment for focused patient care., • Skill Maintenance: PRN work keeps therapists engaged and sharpens their clinical skills. Exposure to different patient cases and treatment approaches enhances professional growth., • Networking Opportunities: Interacting with various colleagues, physicians, and patients allows PRN therapists to expand their professional network.
