Job description

The Four-Time ANCC Magnet designated UPMC St. Margaret is currently hiring a Full-time Professional Staff Nurse to support various Acute Care units as part of a special Rotational Program at our Aspinwall, PA location.

The Graduate Nurse Rotational Program is a rebranded initiative specific to St. Margaret and will begin in February and July 2025. Selected participants will rotate through six various units (progressive care, rehab, ortho, neuro/oncology, renal/resp, and surgical floor) for six months.

Each new graduate will have an experienced registered nurse as a mentor and will have preceptors for each “rotation”. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from many talented nurses and receive a broad education on all foundational nursing skills.

At the end of the “rotations”, you will be matched through a mutual matching process with a participating unit, or you may remain in the resource pool.

What units are included in the Graduate Nurse Acute Track?

• 3B is an acuity adaptable, fast-paced 34-bed telemetry Step Down unit that serves the needs of critically ill patients from admission through discharge. The patient population is medical patients who require more cardiac monitoring than flex monitoring on a Medical Surgical floor but do not require ICU care.
• 4A is a 28-bed, private room, acute rehabilitation unit providing comprehensive rehabilitation services to adult and geriatric patients ages 18 and over.
• 4B is a 30-bed orthopedic unit caring for all orthopedic needs within our practice, including total joint replacement, spinal surgery, shoulder surgeries, and foot/ankle surgeries.
• 5A is a 34-bed, private room, unit with neurology and oncology subspecialties. Services include all medical/surgical needs, specializing in stroke, cancer, and palliative/hospice care.
• 5B is a 33-bed, private room, unit caring for adult and geriatric patients with diagnoses such as CHF, COPD, and Peritoneal Dialysis.
• 6A is a 34-bed surgical and step-down unit focusing on pre- and post-surgical care for general, vascular, thoracic, ENT, GYN, urologic, and plastic surgeries.
• Also eligible for experiences in ICU/ED/OR/PACU/GI lab.

Our RNs work a rotating 12-hour schedule to ensure 24/7 coverage on the floor.

The Staff Nurse provides highly competent patient care and treatment, demonstrating empathy and a passion for learning. This role requires independent judgment, fluent communication, and partnership with physicians, care providers, patients, and families to achieve desired outcomes throughout the continuum of care.

A Registered Nurse, you will set standards for nursing care, with authority and accountability, exemplifying commitment to the community and the nursing profession.

As a nurse at UPMC, you will find:

• Competitive wages, with the highest BSN differential in the greater Pittsburgh area
• An incomparable benefits package, including tuition reimbursement of up to $6,000 per academic year at any accredited institution, available to employees and their dependents (plus discounts for UPMC employees including no cost RN-BSN/MSN options)
• Top clinicians, leading researchers, and the most modern equipment and technology in health care today
• Generous Sign-on Bonus of up to $10,000 with a 2-year commitment to UPMC
• Eligible Nursing Graduates will be offered UPMC’s Monthly Loan Repayment totaling $20,000 paid over 3 years
• Flexible Start Dates based on your graduation

The Staff Nurse is a valued step in the UPMC nursing career ladder, with opportunities for continued growth and advancement; Graduate Nurses are encouraged to apply (GNs must be eligible for State Board Licensure and successfully pass the examination before beginning this role). Applicants will be placed in the appropriate job title and salary from the My Nursing Career Ladder based on their individual experience and education.
