PRN Nurse?

What is the difference between an LPN and a Licensed Practical PRN Nurse and an RN and a Registered PRN nurse? What does the PRN mean? Thanks
PRN is an abbreviation for a latin phrase which means "as needed." Means different things in different hospitals. Where I work - it means that you can sign up for the hours that you want to work and don't work a regular schedule.

As a PRN, can you pick the days out of the week that you want to work or is it up to the hospital? For example if I only wanted to work monday and thursday would I be able to do that? Do you just have to fill your quota by the end of the month or is it a weekly schedule? I am thinking about running a part time training business as well as becoming a nurse and I was wondering with scheduling if it is possible??? Thank you in advance for any feedback!
