I am new to Virginia and live in the Hampton area. Sentara Careplex is less than a mile from my house. Is it a good place to work? I will be working as an agency RN. How do they treat agency nurses?

Hi,

I live in Norfolk and work for a Sentara hospital. While I don't know specifically the Careplex hospital, I can tell you that Sentara treats their agency nurses well. I can't say that you will like the people you work with or the hours, but the pay is good and the training is exceptional.

Good luck.

I work at Leigh on the telemetry/med unit. Starts for new grad is $19.60/hr. If you work eves, nights or weekends, there is a nice shift diff.

Thanks al7139 for the info. It is hard to find anyone online who works at Sentara Complex in Hampton. But I do appreciate your comments. You kind of alluded to it, but..are you an agency nurse? If so, what is the name? Is it a good one? I am looking to re-enter the world of agency nursing, but I am trying to find a dependable company.

Careplex is a nice facility, but I do not think any of the sentara hospitals use agency nurses. They have an internal resource pool, but I would really check about agency, I am not sure they use any
