Optimize Pro Re Nata (PRN) Staffing with Nursa Resources

Are you ready to integrate PRN staffing into your healthcare facility’s staffing plan, but feeling a bit overwhelmed like a kid in a candy store?

Tech-driven staffing platforms are paving the way for faster staffing solutions. Unfortunately, the same emphasis on technology can leave facility users feeling uncertain about how to optimize and customize it for their specific situation.

Where’s the support?

Integrating PRN staffing into an existing system isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Facility teams often need guidance to merge traditional staffing workflows with a flexible, on-demand model. Questions arise about credential verification, shift communication, and pay rate control—all of which can make even the most tech-savvy admin hesitate.

That’s why a platform’s resources are as important as its features. The ability to access clear guides, real-time help, and a professional community ensures facilities can confidently post shifts, onboard clinicians, and maintain quality care without disruption.

What is PRN staffing?

For anyone new to the term, PRN stands for pro re nata, or “as needed.” It describes a flexible staffing model that allows healthcare facilities to fill open shifts quickly without committing to long-term contracts. It’s an increasingly popular alternative to traditional travel contracts and overtime, especially as healthcare labor shortages continue nationwide.

Nursa’s resources are designed to make that model accessible and manageable for facilities of all sizes—from small skilled nursing facilities to large hospital systems—by simplifying every step from credentialing to scheduling.

Nursa: A leader in PRN staffing & support

The Nursa healthcare staffing platform excels in both PRN staffing and support, and that’s thanks not only to its user-friendly design but also to its robust suite of training resources and support features. Let’s take a look.

Nursa’s Community platform

Ever heard of Reddit? Of course you have. It’s a platform where people all over the world post and comment about everything under the sun and across the universe. Well, the Nursa Community platform is similar, except it’s specifically for healthcare clinicians and facility administrators to ask questions and engage with others about healthcare topics. 

It’s also more. The Nursa team has created a catalog of facility user guides in its Resources and Community Help Center.

The guides aren’t marketing fluff. They’re concise and focused on providing readers step-by-step instructions on everything from getting started to facility profile management, shift scheduling management, and app features.

Nursa facility articles archive

Facility administrators can find hundreds of blog articles that are industry-aligned, researched, and focused on facility leader pain points, problem-solving, learning, and healthcare news.

Each article is written with practical application in mind—helping facilities navigate staffing challenges, compliance updates, and industry trends. Facility leaders can easily reference these pieces when training internal staff, developing policies, or exploring new ways to make PRN staffing more efficient.

YouTube tutorials

Are you less a reader and more a visual learner? The Nursa channel on YouTube has fun, quirky reels, testimonials, and news updates. It also showcases a buffet of video tutorials to guide users through all the ins and outs of the app. 

User experience feedback

The Nursa team also regularly reaches out to facility administrators and clinicians using the platform to learn about their experience and receive feedback on special features, as well as suggestions for what users want from the platform.

Nursa's partnership with ShiftReady

Nursa partner ShiftReady is an online learning platform that enables facilities to build custom courses that teach clinicians about their policies and compliance requirements. Easily share learning materials with clinicians before they work a shift for streamlined onboarding.

After the initial time investment, this resource can greatly streamline onboarding for PRN clinicians and reduce administrative and staff team burden.

Human support

Yep. You read that right. A tech platform that offers human support. Of course, the platform does have an AI chatbot, and it recently released a new AI feature, the NIA Shift Creator (Nursa Intelligence Assistant), that lets facility administrators create and post single or batch shifts on the fly. 

However, the platform also shows balance by including human support in two ways. 

• Live online chat support with real people, seven days a week. This support feature is best for troubleshooting, questions, and app support.
• Local human support teams provide consulting for strategizing and scheduling support for issues like cancellations or no-shows.

Bringing it all together: Support that scales with you

The result? A PRN staffing experience that feels less like “yet another software to learn” and more like a guided partnership. Every resource—from the Community and article archive to ShiftReady and support chat—has a single goal: to help facilities stay agile while reducing administrative drag. With these tools, facility teams can respond to staffing fluctuations confidently, improve clinician satisfaction, and spend more time focusing on patient care rather than logistics.

Empowering facilities through support and simplicity

PRN staffing success depends on more than filling shifts—it relies on the systems, people, and resources that make staffing flexible, sustainable, and human-centered.

Nursa stands out by pairing powerful tech with approachable, human-centered support. Whether through its AI tools, learning partnerships, or live assistance, the platform helps facility administrators embrace modern staffing without losing the personal touch that defines quality care.
