Find z for which

\[\frac{2 \sqrt{z} - 3}{\sqrt{z} - 1} + 1 = \frac{3 \sqrt{z} - 1}{1 - \sqrt{z}}.\]

\(\frac{2 \sqrt{z} - 3}{\sqrt{z} - 1} + 1 = \frac{3 \sqrt{z} - 1}{1 - \sqrt{z}}\\ \frac{2 \sqrt{z} - 3}{\sqrt{z} - 1} +\frac{ 3 \sqrt{z} -1}{\sqrt{z}-1} = -1\\ \frac{5\sqrt{z}-4}{\sqrt{z}-1}=-1\\ 5\sqrt{z}-4=1-\sqrt{z}\\ 6\sqrt{z}=5\\ \sqrt{z}=\frac{5}{6}\\ \boxed{z=\frac{25}{36}}\)
