UPMC offers a variety of flexible options. In addition to traditional rotating/flexible shifts, special programs exist to work primarily night shifts or weekend shifts with a premium pay differential. Employees hired into or transitioning to these programs must have at least 6 months of nursing experience and may need to complete any necessary orientation during regular business hours. If interested in these programs, please inform your recruiter when contacted for an interview.

Licensure, Certifications, and Clearances:

• UPMC-approved national certification preferred.
• Current licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse in the state where the facility is located or in a state covered by a licensure compact agreement.
• CPR certification based on AHA standards, including both a didactic and skills demonstration component within 30 days of hire.
• Graduate nurses must complete the licensure examination within six months of hire or within one year of graduation, whichever comes first. Temporary permits are valid for one year from the date of graduation, not from the issue date of the permit. UPMC requires that GNs take the licensure examination within six months of their start date or face termination or demotion from the GN position, at the discretion of the BU.

Hires and current employees working on an out-of-state NLC license who later change their residency to the state where the facility is located will have 60 days upon changing their residency to apply for licensure within that state.
