At UPMC Passavant, we offer nurses many ways to advance their careers and make an impact on patients.
Our nurses are compassionate and highly skilled health care professionals. They are always looking for chances to grow professionally and improve the care of their patients.
Pairing their educational achievements and valued experiences, our nurses hold a deep commitment to helping the community and others reach their potential.
As nurses at UPMC Passavant, we are leading the transformation of our nursing practice through evidence-based practice, research, and innovation while fostering a healthy professional practice environment with our collaborative partners. We are dedicated to ensuring a compassionate patient- and family-centered experience, with a focus on safety and quality.
Our Nursing Education staff leads new nurses through a comprehensive Nursing Residency Program. The goal of the Nursing Residency program is to develop competence and confidence in the new nurse throughout the first year of nursing practice. We then urge experienced nurses to advance through the My Nursing Career (MNC) Development Program. MNC rewards and salutes nurses for their contributions and professional growth.
We consider our professional staff nurses to be leaders. Our Shared Leadership Structure supports inter-professional collaboration and effective communication to make safe, quality patient care decisions. The outcome of shared leadership is greater accountability for practice, greater nurse satisfaction, improved clinical outcomes and greater efficiency.
