Business Outlook

Pros

Some very smart people. Clinical staff is first rate.

Cons

Organization is seriously understaffed. Compensation is on the low side so Inova loses good people after a short time. There's very little pro-active thinking and even less planning. Technology is firmly entrenched in the 20th century instead of the 21st. There is never enough money to do a project correctly but always enough to do it twice.

Business Outlook

Pros

Organized- the least chaotic floor I've worked on in NOVA out of 5 hospitals. Very well ran, very clear policies and procedures and the staff all know what the policies are. Culture- everyone from the volunteers to the top tier admin are cheerful, helpful and the patient care/floor staff always set the next shift up for success with little to no mean kid behavior seen in many other facilities. Respect amongst colleagues is top tier and I always feel supported. Supplies- OH MY GOD THERE ARE SUPPLIES LIKE ACTUAL SUPPLIES AND THEY DON'T RUN OUT!!!! Professional Development- many financial incentives to pursue career development and continuing education including bonuses.

Cons

The pay is not adequate for the 2024 economy in and around the local area. No nurse should ever be making less than $60/hr in a hospital setting regardless of unit and INOVA has paid the least amount I've earned in the area.
