Business Outlook
Pros
Mandatory paid continuing ed for nurses. Relatively good benefits and pay for the area of Hampton Roads. Ability to move between jobs in the Sentara system
Cons
Each employee is expected to do the job of 2 employees. Sentara, a highly profitable non-profit corporation, focuses on the bottom line and employees are driven to perform beyond normally accepted case loads and standards. In my opinion, this does not lead to enhanced patient safety or positive patient outcomes as Sentara touts. Magnet status-I just do not know how this has been achieved for SNGH or will be achieved for other Sentara facilities.
