About PRN Consultants

Providing Nurses Since 1980

PRN Consultants is a nursing agency operated by nurses for nurses. It was started in 1980 by Patricia Szczypkowski, an R.N. who recognized the importance of nursing as the cornerstone of a strong health care team. She started PRN to help the many overworked nurses she encountered throughout her career across various institutions in the Philadelphia area. She also formed the nursing agency to help the hospitals in her community continue to provide high quality patient care, as the needs for nurses in hospitals are often greater than what their own staff could fill. This is especially true today in healthcare, given the nationwide nursing shortage.

Because of Pat's clinical and management expertise; PRN is uniquely sensitive to the ongoing demands that nurses encounter in the workplace and that hospitals encounter in filling their staffing needs with quality nurses. We have been helping hospitals and long-term care facilities meet their supplemental staffing needs for over 25 years in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware areas. Today, PRN Consultants continues to be owned and operated by it's original founder, Patricia Szczypkowski.
