      I worked at Sentara Healthcare full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Benefits
      Scheduling is easy
      Hours are there if you want them

      Cons

      Poor ED management
      The "higher-ups" for the most part, in the ED are very much a clique and do as they please, when they want and the people they're friends with get to sit back and reap the benefits.

      Advice to Management

      ED management? Start listening to the employees and doing your job appropriately. Don't listen to only your friends.

      Sentara management? I don't know how you all go about hiring and reviewing what's going on in the ED but maybe try a different approach. There is a clear and concise reason that Sentara Princess Anne ED runs through RNs and EDTs and it's not because of "a bad egg". Clearly people are unhappy with the way that it is managed and how they're being treated (with the exception of, like I said, the people that management are friends with).

      I have been working at Sentara Healthcare full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      I enjoy working with patients and my co-workers. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      Recently cut from 40 hours to 36 hours. Sent home early when patient load is light which is nearly every day for one year.

      Advice to Management

      No need to micromanage. If you find you need to, look for replacement for those people.

      I have been working at Sentara Healthcare full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Retirement and pension, I love helping people, I get to work with a great team, I like the flexible scheduling.

      Cons

      The pay seems minimal, nursing care partners don't get the same benefits as other employees. Of course RNs get paid more, but we should recieve the same shift differential, we should recieve extra pay for working only weekends, and we should recieve extra pay for precepting a new employee.

      Advice to Management

      Everyone should have equal benefits and opportunites. Of course RNs get paid more than Nursing Care Partners, but we should recieve the same benefits. We should get the same shift differential, we should get extra pay for working only weekends, and we should get paid extra for precepting a new employee. We already don't get paid a whole lot, and its the RNs that get so many opportunities to make more money.
