Pros
Good Educational opportunities, but not enough class opening to obtain the education in a reasonable amount of time.
Cons
Carilion has gone to a terrible system where they have created massive float pool staffing & regional/travel float pool staffing. This has made all the units within CRMH drop normal staff nurses as they obtain a higher hourly wage and get floated to different units daily for these nurses. This has created poor patient care, no continuity of care, poor teamwork, and poor/much harder working conditions for their staff nurses working on a specific unit. They seem to have done this to save money on the multitudes of travel nurses that they hired during and post-covid 19 staffing shortages. But even the resourse pool nurses, despite getting paid more, are getting very tired of their own poor treatment and getting switched form unit to unit, not just day to day but multiple times a day in 4 hour incriments.
