  The Nernst effect of Pr$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_4$ (x=0.13, 0.15, and 0.17) has
been measured on thin film samples between 5-120 K and 0-14 T. In comparison to
recent measurements on hole-doped cuprates that showed an anomalously large
Nernst effect above the resistive T$_c$ and H$_{c2}$
\cite{xu,wang1,wang2,capan}, we find a normal Nernst effect above T$_c$ and
H$_{c2}$ for all dopings. The lack of an anomalous Nernst effect in the
electron-doped compounds supports the models that explain this effect in terms
of amplitude and phase fluctuations in the hole-doped cuprates. In addition,
the H$_{c2}$(T) determined from the Nernst effect shows a conventional behavior
for all dopings. The energy gap determined from H$_{c2}$(0) decreases as the
system goes from under-doping to over-dopingin agreement with the recent
tunnelling experiments.
