I was an experienced RN at the time I joined Inova Fairfax Hospital, with extensive experience as a medical surgical nurse with large knowledge base and adaptability and accountability. I loved most of my employment at Inova Fairfax Hospital, which was over 18 years. Please see experience summary in which this information is covered. Pts have extended stays due to inability to get diagnostic tests done,sometimes critical care pts do not get their first MRI's for 24-48 hours high turnover in staff administration does not fill positions when people fired/resign no help moving critical pts from exam tables to gurneys managers have fired employees by lying /misrepresenting employees actions because they have personality conflicts I personally know of 3 employees who were fired bacause a current manager lied about the employee safety issues constantly a problem due to short staffing mandatory employee satisfaction polls annually, but tell employees not to put anything derogatory on surveys questions regarding administration concerns are directed at your immediate supervisor, when the real problems originate with the highest management cutting costs paramount pt care lacking administration clueless as to what real needs of dept are no longer have town hall meetings with employees about their concerns as they became angry sessions highlighting employees complaints about no raises, low staffing/no aids on floors or radiology depts, being asked to do the work of 2 people, no raises, no breaks.no help buttons in MRI rooms for pt emergencies no help button planned for new magnet now under. Management on all levels does not support their employees environment of blame,failure to listen to employees concerns about low staffing levels,transport system often takes over an hour to pick up/deliver pts for tests.

However the worse of it all was that the own director of the department had no knowledge of how work was done or its processes and the only thing he knew how to do was point fingers as how work was not being done well, how it should be done without having any knowledge of the work, or holding employees accountable for mistakes that were not cor. The turn over rate was incredible! I had only been there for 6 months and I was one of the most tenured employee in the department! The department I was in could never be fully staffed due to someone leaving monthly if not weekly. The pay is not competitive at all and employees in my department were working double, almost triple duties for less than half the deserved salary. If PTO was requested or personal and private matters were raised to where a day needing to be out we were almost forced to disclose the personal matters in detail, this is all while people had leave balances and even gave notices, not calling in the morning of. The flexibility was great until upper management took over and there was nothing but micromanaging and no understanding to life outside work. None of it was true and I've never worked for an organization that lacked so many values that an Organization needs to run well. I took a 10k pay cut to work with this company due to the fact that they really sold me on its benefits, work values, work/life balance, flexibility and that it was an overall great place to work with, wonderful department and great people.
