Over the years Nurses PRN grew and evolved as a nationwide healthcare staffing company, and therefore wanted to be more inclusive to all valued healthcare professionals: nurses, allied health, locum tenens, CNAs, and more. This lead to the introduction of PRN Healthcare, which is inclusive of Nurses PRN and all of our other healthcare divisions. Our mission to create authentic, meaningful relationships with our healthcare professionals helps us set them up for success in their dream assignment, whether that be a travel contract, local contract, or per diem shift.

Call medications in to pharmacy prior to departure, patient must fill out sheet with financial request. Document on a pharmacy log which clients have pending medications. On arrival of medications, document all arrivals into each client's chart. Insert any medication information sheets into patient's chart. For any clients that have stat prescriptions send and fill ASAP if they are antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, etc.… Monitor and reorder client's personal medication as needed. Protocol includes the following: All new admits will have a medical record in the EHR. These records will hold clients' recent PPD, intake packet from admissions, a medical reconciliation form of all meds, and any medical records that arrived for the client such as History and Physical, Psych Evaluations, Hospital Records, Labs. This chart will be made when the LPN meets the client and is assembled by the Medical Staff. The Medical Staff will establish appropriate medications which can be used at OHL. Narcotics may not be used in the Program (there may be exceptions in a very few cases to this policy but approval for the use of any narcotic must come from the Program Manager prior to administration of such medication.) Certain pain relievers are acceptable on a case by case basis with documentation from the medical provider who provided the pain reliever. The LPN may be instructed to give clients comfort medications as outlined in the policy and instructed by the Chief Medical Officer. The Medical Staff will establish what medication calls the client will use for their medication regimen. There are four medication calls per day. As needed medications will be used on a case by case basis. This schedule will be written down for the client to have as a reference and present to their Counselor. The clients' schedule will be documented into a log for medication calls. This log will allow nursing staff to know when a client has been missing medication calls or not taking them correctly. Medication stock will be stored under lock and key in the Nursing Office Medication Room. Clients will only be allowed access to their medication during medication calls and in special circumstances based on the situation and LPNs' clinical judgment. All staff will observe the taking of medication at each medication call. Observing the bottle instructions, the amount of pills a client takes, and how low the medication appears in the bottle. Encouraging patients to be aware of their stock of medication is part of the Medical Staff's duties. Missed medication calls will result in client missing medication if it is too close to the next medication call based on clinical judgment. There will only be three grace opportunities to take late or missed medications. At that time the LPN will notify that client's Counselor of the behavior to have it addressed as part of their treatment. These cases should be logged into nurse's log to be presented in treatment team meetings. Ideally, all medication refills must be paid by the client. Patient must be instructed at time of orientation as to how medications are filled and how frequently. All medication refills need to be written onto a medication refill slip and submitted to the Medical Staff. Depending on their level in the program, the client's role in refilling their medications will change to allow them to participate more independently. Patients will be oriented to the process of filling out a medical slip when they are sick. Patient will be informed that all sick visits are triaged and addressed in order of urgency. Clients will not be allowed to go to the ER for primary care issues unless indicated. If a client repeatedly complains of issues that are impeding their capacity to participate in a program, they may be considered inappropriate for the program and discharged if indicated. All suicidal attempts will result in immediate discharge. Suicidal ideation is to be addressed directly with OHL Staff and the client's safety will be managed accordingly. Daily Task List includes the following: Report in with staff. Review the night log for any ER visits or medical complaints from the night. Match to Incident Reports as needed.

Pete was diligently working in eastern Wisconsin with a variety of staffing agencies, but something was missing.

As a result, he started Nurses PRN in 1995 to become a model for the healthcare staffing industry - being competitive in the marketplace, yet still maintaining a compassionate heart. Over the years Nurses PRN grew and evolved as a nationwide healthcare staffing company, and therefore wanted to be more inclusive to all valued healthcare professionals: nurses, allied health, locum tenens, CNAs, and more.
