None taken Car - its just I've been told before by a P2K student when I was an A&E Charge Nurse that she would be a much better Nurse than me when she qualified as she would know why she was doing something and not just doing something that she had been told to. Unfortunately my Snr Sr overheard her asked her outside and I never saw her again. To be honest I've met both good and bad pre and post P2K RN's over the last 20 years. However I was surprised that someone has managed to qualify and move into OH without knowing what PRN means.

Hi Jeremy I'm sorry if I offended but my reply was " tongue in cheek " and was not meant to be taken seriously - I had hoped that came across with the "smileys" I put in but if not apologies again.

Steady, My training, 1985 - 1988, was certainly not antiquated, and I believe equipped me very well for the challenges that I have faced in my professional career both in OH and as an Army Nursing Officer (TA). Just because something happened a while ago does not mean that it is not of benefit in todays 'modern' times!

Hello Bob, As one of the dreaded "recent generation" "P2000" RNs I'd like to point out that we do venture onto the wards occasionally during training and have contact with patients and drug charts, and learn phrases like "bd, tds, qds" and "od" so it's not just the old style antiquated SRN training that taught such things ;-) Car :-D -----Original Message----- From: Robert Dunn [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 16 November 2005 13:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Please tell me what PRN stands for. Hi Tracey, You are obviously from a recent nursing generation of RN's. Those of us who trained as SRN's had to learn all the prescribing abbreviations. PRN is abbreviated Latin for: pro re nata (as the situation demands; as needed).
