Great insurance, not so great pay and staffing ratios

Certified nursing assistant cna

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Novant is one of 2 major healthcare systems in my area. Their employee insurance is affordable and offers excellent coverage even at the lowest tier. They are well known for having better insurance than their competitor healthcare system.

Cons

I was hired as a CNA in the summer of 2022 at $15.50/hr with evening and weekend differentials. I was genuinely shocked at how low the pay was. Novant decided to raise their starting base pay to $17/hr starting in Jan 2023 but it’s still too low for how high the staffing ratios are. I have 8 or more patients in MedSurg and sometimes up to 12. RNs have up to 6 patients in MedSurg. I rarely have a moment to sit down or even go to the bathroom during my 12 hour shifts because we never have enough time to do everything we need to do for our patients.

Pros

Benefits. But Novant stops paying for your health insurance if you develop a serious medical problem.

Cons

Pay rate is way below market average. Traveler nurses get paid two times more than us and expected to do less. There is no work-life balance. Every week I'm supposed to spend at least 8 hours of my free time to keep up with in-service classes. Management has no idea what is going on on the floor. All the equipment are neglected and malfunctions, failure of the computers etc are an essential part of our daily work. I've been working as a critical care nurse for Novant for 5 years. This year I got 99 cents raise which made my salary $32/hour. When I wanted to transfer to another unit, they said my pay rate would be 29 dollars an hour there. They said they didn't have money to pay us because they spent too much on travel nurses. Today I gave my 30 days' notice and I'm leaving for an agency.
