Pros

Our unit in particular has a family feel to it. You know that when you are at work that other nurses have your back, and are there to support you. This support extends beyond professional support, but they care about each other's personal struggles and accomplishments as well. Inova Fairfax Hospital has a commitment to being the "best in the world". We have yet to attain that goal, but I feel that it is an admirable goal. We strive to treat our patients and their families with the utmost respect, and more importantly, care. The leadership in the hospital work to facilitate a positive atmosphere throughout the Inova healthcare system.

Cons

In any large organization there are going to be issues that need some work. The biggest downside that I have seen is that communication on issues is not always the best. Obviously every issue can't be addressed, but sometimes we need it! We recently had a meeting to review/encourage safety practices. The information could have been presented in a really interesting way, that would promote safety, and encourage people to pay attention. However, they always seem to resort to the same methods of presenting of information - and monotone voices is usually involved. The health insurance is adequate, but I felt that I was able to get insurance through my husband's job. This seemed odd to me, especially since I work in healthcare! It would be nice if the shifts were tailored more to what works best for the staff, rather than what works best for administration.

Pros

Some of the best reasons to work in my particular dept.which is the patient registration at the Healthplex, is the ability to have a flexible schedule. They work around your school schedule like no place I've ever been to. Another good reason is the tuition reimbursement of $ 3000 yearly for full time employees. There's also discounts for small fee that gets taken off your paycheck for lawyer's fees, medical pet care, financial advise, Inova classes, etc.

Cons

At the place where I work( I am sure it varies) it's hard to advance. They also do not give you any feedbacks on your work. Health insurance is pretty expensive for a family of 3 an insurance that pays at 10% coinsurance and no yearly deductible comes up to about $ 500 a month.
