Registered Nurse - Anonymous employee Valley Health (Virginia and West Virginia) Employee Review

Valley Health has the entire Northern VA area tied up. Unless one wants to drive to WVA or Fairfax/Loudoun County, you're stuck here, making piddly wages compared to the rest of the nation. It's despicable how underpaid the RN's are and we are ALWAYS understaffed. No wonder the turnover is exceedingly high. The new grads get a year under their belt and off they go (who can blame them). It is not an employee friendly hospital. The only way to survive is to keep your mouth shut and do your job. The management is not on your side. It's a greedy atmosphere (just look at the bonus CEO Merrill just received) with no appreciation for the loyalty of staff. The only way to increase one's pay is to quit, get rehired, then negotiate! Absurd.
