Pluspunten

- Meeting wonderful patients - Constantly learning on the job in the acute care and inpatient rehab setting with variety in patient population - Lots of resources in therapy department (Zero G, FEES, multiple gyms, general materials)

Minpunten

- Limited accountability for nursing to follow evidence-based process; practices are often fear-based and driven by a "not my lane" attitude. Nurses do not follow mobility protocols; patients only get out of bed when therapy does it. Nursing and leadership not open to looking past "we've always done it this way" for things like managing patient mobility, swallowing, oral care, documenting, or answering patient questions. - Nursing and leadership are not proactive at all. In terms of patient care, I personally experienced pushback multiple times when escalating new neurological concerns about patients (two different patients, two different units of the hospital, two different years), only to call code strokes myself with imaging revealing new strokes. Nursing had chalked it up to patient being sleepy or due to their prior history of stroke despite my indicating patients were dramatically different. Leadership did not respond to emails or "Safety Always" escalations for further discussions/RCA. This is absolutely felt to represent a pattern.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We value you highlighting the positive aspects like meeting wonderful patients, the continuous learning opportunities in acute care and inpatient rehab, and the abundance of resources available in the therapy department. However, we take your concerns about collaboration and communication very seriously and will bring this to our leadership team. We have protocols in place for a reason and are concerned to hear that these are not followed. We encourage team members to bring these concerns to their managers so we can address them and ensure the safety of our patients and staff. Additionally, we are committed to ensuring leadership is accessible and approachable. We'll explore ways to create a culture of open communication where staff concerns are addressed. By working together, we're confident we can improve interdepartmental collaboration, communication, and ultimately, patient care at our hospital. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, and we are committed to creating a more positive work environment for all staff.

Pluspunten

Good benefits, professional colleagues, and strong technical talent. In the IT, analytics, and data space, Inova has been more forward-looking than many health systems, with willingness to adopt modern tools and practices. There is also relatively less bureaucracy compared with some other healthcare organizations.

Minpunten

For AI and Data Solutions career growth and scope can feel heavily influenced by prior relationships and leadership networks. When new leaders join, they often bring trusted colleagues from previous organizations, and those individuals may receive faster access to strategic work, visibility, and advancement opportunities. This can create the perception that internal merit, institutional knowledge, and long-term contribution are not always enough to access the best opportunities unless an employee is already connected to a senior leader or part of an incoming leadership network. Over time, this can make the culture feel fragmented across different legacy groups rather than like one unified Inova culture. There is a high level of nepotism and if you are not coming from Sharp, Parkland or Novant your growth, scope and visibility will be limited and you might be sidelined to grunt work.
