Miravida Living is looking for PRN (as needed) CNAs.  PRN describes a type of employment where an employee works when needed rather than on a specific schedule. PRN employees do not accrue vacation or sick leave and are not eligible for holiday pay. To account for this flexibility and variable scheduling, we will provide an increased hourly rate, with no adjustments based on shift, day, or holiday. Open shifts will be posted and filled on a first-come, first-served basis
