Hospitals are open 24/7, which means you'll work some night shifts; not inherently a bad thing but can be rough on the sleep schedule. You work between three different hospitals at varying distances to your home location (usually Williamsburg or Newport News/Norfolk), which means the commute can be long and expensive over time. Short-notice call-outs are acceptable, but they prefer for you to get your shift traded/covered, which can be difficult since it relies entirely on one of your coworkers bailing you out.
