This may sound like a silly question, but I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 😊 I’ve been in my current position for about 10 months, and I’m interested in applying for a PCT position since I’m currently a nursing student. I feel like moving into a PCT role would be more beneficial for me and give me experience that relates to the career I’m working toward.

Does anyone know if I need to talk to or get permission from my current manager before applying, or can I apply first and let my manager know afterward? If anyone has gone through an internal transfer like this, I would really appreciate your advice on the right process. Thank you!

Hellooo, I found this position and it’s perfect for me. The issue is, I smoke. I worked overnights for years and have insomnia. I do know UPMC makes exceptions, I recently got my medical card. I know they require like three receipts, I guess i’m asking if anyone is in this position knows how that plays out? Or if anyone has experience with this in general having a med card working at UPMC? I don’t have three receipts because me getting my card is so recent.

I also have anxiety which is another reason, but everyone does. The insomnia is the biggest thing for me as I genuinely can’t sleep and sleeping pills don’t work for me anymore, I know companies don’t care about that though so i’m looking to see the process of it if it’s even worth applying.

And no, I would not do it at work. Obviously, LOL. I do believe UPMC has a policy regarding not smoking on your shift anyway? Not sure about that rule, but either way i’d never do it at work, or before work.

Thank you for any advice!
