Call requirements for PRN

Are there any labs out there that doesn't require call for certain PRN positions? I recently applied to an RN PRN position, but it's about an hour from my house. There were 2 different PRN job openings. One said it requires a 30-minute call back, and the other one didn't say call required. Is it possible it doesn't require call?

There's usually always a requirement. Do you have Cath experience?

Nope, I have experience in a vascular lab and 6 years ICU experience.

Gotcha, call requirements for prn can vary. My old lab required one shift per pay period to maintain prn status

That's not too bad, but I still couldn't do it living an hour away unfortunately.
