Pros

I had the most amazing clinical admin nurse bosses they were the best! So much learning as nursing student and working as NCp

Cons

the worst troll nurses night shifters they would take over 3 hour lunch breaks from1AM-3:30AM, and put all the pressure on NCPs Ashliegh, Karlee, and and Indian one the trio were extreme trolls making fun of ncps looking down at them and in the morning they would complain to day shift nurses that the ncps are no good of help that they don't do anything. but it's the ncps that run like dogs all night! the African American nurses were the best and the most humble nurses I have ever worked with, and a white girl that did lpn first then RN and bsn and was getting her masters and working there short term - she was the only reason I kept going to work and was praying to get my patients with her because she was nothing like those 3 nurses. I am forever grateful for nurses like her - treating ncps with respect and not trolling them. some nurses there will end up giving you anxiety and panic attacks with the amount of toxicity and trolling if you complain more than once they think you are the problem also because they don't wanna lose those nurses because ncps are always replaceable.

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.
