I'm new here to the site and just wondering if anyone here is from the Newport News, VA area and knows anything about Mary Immaculate? Any info would be great! Thanks in advance!

I'm a TNCC student and we do our clinicals at MIH. I won't be able to give you any of the inside scoop as far as pay, benefits, and such.
I am qualified to tell you that the staff is great in Med/Surg (2B & 3B), LandD, and the wound care clinic. We got "pitched" a couple of weeks ago and they are competitive pay wise and of the staff I've met I'd say 85-90% like their job and the hospital. The other 10-15% fall into the categories of "they won't be happy" or "they have been held accountable, and don't like it".
MIH if you don't know, is a smaller community hospital in the Bon Secours network. One of the BS Hospitals recently got a major black eye related to use of restraints on an elderly patient, including criminal charges. I don't know any specifics and probably said too much already. That said, I am quite comfortable at MIH, satisfied with the care they deliver, and currently it's listed as my desired employer following graduation.
