When I worked as a CNA the pay was $10-12 but that was in 2008 so I am sure the pay has increased. Where I worked was in Norfolk at a long term care facility. If you work at Bon secours or Sentara hospital they do offer tuition assistance to go back to school. The two best schools in the area for nursing is Tidewater community college which you only get your ADN but its a lot cheaper and the other school that is really good is Old Diminion University.

Thank you for responding. I am glad to hear Valley Health really cares about their employees. For me that is the most important.

My husband & I are thinking about relocating to Winchester area. I am a nurse with two and half years of experience currently working on a step down unit of ICU. I was wondering what the average pay is in that area, do they offer an option to not take their benefits package for an increase in pay, what their differential pay is for weekends, nights etc. And what other RN's opinions are about working for Valley Health. I want to make sure I am choosing a good company who cares about their employees.
