The PRN “less drama” perk is a fact lol.

I use to work in a job where the full time employees treat the per diem so nasty that they dont even want to comeback at all. 😑 They also tell the per diem on the first day to dont even expect you will be called again.🤔 In summary, big chance you will be hated. 🤔
