PGH feedback

Published

Anyone here worked at PGH before? Looks like they're hiring. While waiting out the retrogression, might as well, right?

i was there earlier getting the deans form......they released 220 applications good thing I was there early..just curious how many applicants normally do they get for the apcn training? submission of requirements is set for dec, but the exam is on january. Now I am having second thoughts as I would be going out of the country for 10 days in January, I might not make the exam though..

i heard they only get 50 trainee from the 200plus who get the deans form... that is after they screen all the requirements of the applicant and after the exam...

the deans form on the net is for nursing assistants and entry level nurses.

we applied for the training..they do not post this on the net, you have to get this thru pgh only.

LOL. deans form is freely available for download via web.

Is that also the dean's form for APCN. I thought it is only for the application for the staff nurse position employment.

to my fellow nurses: about the deans form from the net

pgh don't recognized the deans form downloaded from the net... i called the hospital last july to ask about the APCN training... the coordinator told me that you should call by the first week of oct. to know when would be the release of the dean's form... then i ask about the dean's form from the net... she told me that they don't post any dean form in the net, and dont know anything about it.... i called last oct 5... then they told me the release would be oct 6.... luckily i got a recognized deans form for the APCN training....

to all who got it... hope we can make it in the exam... its really difficult as it said by the others who took it...

@ W-PADRE

FYI at your post " the APCN form is downloadable at net dude"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APCN form is only distributed at DNET PGH-- this is the only form that they will accept on december 2010 ; they also have LIST of applicants LAST OCTober 06 2010....

They only distribute 200+ forms that has signiture from the DNET office.... attach with this forms is the instructions and requirements about APCN.....

DEans form that are downloaded from PGH yahoogroup is only for employment not for training

PLease be guided accordingly

some people make comment with facts in their hand

CHEERS and PEACE

Hi I've been dying to grasp all the information posted on this thread. I had a lot of questions in mind about becoming a staff nurse in PGH and by reading the backwards, my questions were answered one by one.

Looking at it, ACPN doesn't really guarantee you to become a staff nurse in the hospital. Just one question though, would it be alright if I take the NPE right away and just undergo the normal application process for a staff nurse position without taking the ACPN since it isn't mandatory?

How is the application process and requirements for a staff nurse position differ from applying for ACPN, I've checked the PGH website and it seemed to me that the requirements for ACPN are basically the usual requirements one must submit for applying as a staff nurse in most hospitals?
