UPMC Nursing

In addition to Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC’s obstetrical service line, which includes a 22-bed birthing center, nurses have the opportunity to work in a variety of specialty units including intensive care, telemetry, medical-surgical, oncology, emergency care, gynecology, orthopaedics, skilled nursing, geriatrics, and newborn intensive care nursing. Our Surgical Service Department specializes in minimally invasive surgery and includes care for inpatients and outpatients who are assessed though our Preoperative Center. Outpatient nursing opportunities are offered in several ambulatory departments or in one of our Womancare sites located on campus and in outlying communities.

Nursing highlights

At Magee, your orientation is carefully planned to meet your needs while utilizing a trained preceptor. Nurses with less than one year of experience also are enrolled in our mentorship program and are partnered with an experienced nurse.

Our 60-day follow-up orientation provides you with the opportunity to nurture your career growth by sharing experiences in the unit with our administrative team.

Our Professional Practice Council and Employee Council are a few examples of how you can connect with our management team and build evidence-based practice.
