Pros

Honestly none, its just a job and a really terrible.ome at that

Cons

Unsafe working conditions, management cares about thier productivity and nurses work short staffed every single day to make these hospitals money at the expense of pt care and the mental wellbeing of the nurses. They make you work for a minuscule merit increase per.year which doesnt even meet inflation.and this year completely cut out nurses from.market adjustment raises when inflation is at an all time high. How convient after they went on the news boasting during covid about 5 percent raises..... well now they are taking it back bc guess what nurses dont get them this year now that covid is over. The have forced overtime shifts as well.... the expectations are unsafe unrealistic and the pay is poor. Experience isnt values what so ever here and neither is loyalty. They will just replace a nurse with a new grad nurse who doesnt know a thing but will be a body at a cheap rate

Pros

The team I was on was small but it had good people. My direct manager and her boss were great, but everyone above them were horribly disorganized and incompetent. More on that under cons. Pay was fine, slightly above the average. But raises were inconsistent. The ability to work from home was great. It was rare to be asked to work overtime, so work life balance was good.

Cons

Disorganized upper management who thought they knew better than the folks working in the weeds every day. There were multiple times that they would implement a change that my team would strongly recommend against, but it was shoehorned in anyway. Months later they would come back and say “that was actually a bad idea” and we would have to fix their mistakes, despite warning them against it in the beginning. How well you get trained also depends on your department. My team worked with other teams at Sentara that were often attempting to do things that could have put the company in legal jeopardy, but they were never told not to do it.
