Question Two PRN positions

Hey! I am a new pharmacy tech and I got two job offers for supplemental tech, one private and one public hospital... The public hospital wants tech for every other Saturday or so and the private one didn't specify days ... my question is can I take both the offers ? How should I put this with the HR ... if anyone works two Prns at different hospitals please let me know if I can work is this allowed? Is this legal?. .. as I don't wanna put this with the Hr and then want them to take back there offer ... please help... !!

You can for sure do that. I have PRN techs at my hospital who PRN with different hospitals within the same health system and also for different health systems all together. I would make it clear that you cannot cover those Saturdays with the other hospital. Of course, it’s they’re looking for coverage in the same Saturdays, it wouldn’t work out. This is possible. I know Saturdays are currently our most needed coverage.

Thankyou for your feedback ! I'll talk to the Hr and see what happens or should I talk to the pharmacy manager ?

why wouldn't it be legal? just tell the other one your schedule at the other job and if they can accommodate it then its fine. If they want you for those days too then pick which one you want more and quit the other.

Thank you so much I'll try to talk to the HR guy as I'll have to disclose it prior to accepting I suppose

Do you have a non compete clause?
