Are UPMC freezes increasing?

Published

On your unit, do you hear rumors increasing about hiring freezes? Are you already on a freeze? Or, are any of them letting up yet?

Obviously we have to wait out the economy to some extent, but just curious...

Thanks for any response!

I am answering the original question of the thread starter. From what my friends that work at the UPMC(in the city) it sounds as if they have or are about to ease up on the braking they have been doing.

from what is going on at upmc northwest as of this date-the 2nd med-surg unit has been closed for 3 weeks and the staff from that unit is floating (without float pay) and have not been given any straight answers as to when or if it will reopen. [/font]

I'm interviewing for the 11th floor at Montifiore on Tuesday. Two of my friends just got hired on the 10th and the 12th floor. They are still offering incentives such as chatham college online at half price with $3500 in tuition reimbursement, (that's a savings of close to $12,000) flexable scheduling and free pitt tuition. If there was a freeze you would think they wouldn't offer that anymore.

yay 12S (I'm a current pct there, VERY exciting)
