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 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. The unit provides comprehensive rehabilitation services to adult and geriatric patients ages 18 and over.
  • 4B is a 30-bed orthopedic unit which provides care for all orthopedic needs within the realm of 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. The services provided on 5A include all medical/surgical needs within our realm of practice specializing in stroke, cancer, and palliative/hospice care.
  • 5B is a 33-bed, private room, unit caring for adult and geriatric patients ages 18 and over. A full range of general adult medical diagnoses admitted to the unit include CHF, COPD, and Peritoneal Dialysis.
  • 6A is a 34-bed surgical and step-down unit that provides care to adult and geriatric patients with a focus on pre and post-surgical patients.  We provide care to a full range of general adult medical diagnoses, but our primary specialties are general surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, ENT, GYN, urologic surgery, and plastic surgery
  • 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 while demonstrating empathy and a passion for learning. A role that requires independent judgment, fluent communication, and candid partnership, the Staff Nurse establishes relationships with physicians, other care providers, patients, and patients’ families in order to achieve desired patient outcomes throughout the continuum of care.

  • Generous Sign on Bonus of up to $10,000 with a 2 year commitment to UPMC
