Sentara Healthcare Reviews

Cons

not really any significant problem areas

Cons

Pay could be a little higher

Cons

Pay could be much better.

Cons

Not very many learning opportunities. Routinely inadequately staffed. Very many call outs due to nurses and NCPs being burned out from high acuity patient loads. You can count on spending at least 3-4 hours charting (hate the charting system), never having a break, and leaving well after your shift has concluded. Like any place, there are a few nurses that have worked there for years that are very sour. Often have a hard time being able to read up on patients because you don’t have time which is scary. Doctors are difficult to get in contact with even for urgent situations.

Cons

403 k could be a little bit better.

Cons

Because their are opportunities to transfer and maintain employment, there is excessive turnover in many departments causing frequent stress for staff. New employees get shorted on having experienced staff to orient them. This perpetuates a cycle of turnover and short staffing .

Cons

Pay scale is not as it should be. People make more money in non-degree positions

Cons

Some departments are under staffed, so the workload gets spread around.

Cons

Just not enough pay to live off of

Cons

Pay is some of the lowest in the area, they'd rather give away money to charities than give their employees decent raises, quick to fire you
