Poor pay, grossly outdated regional pay model - Clinical Pharmacist Reston Hospital Center Employee Review

I'm honestly surprised how pleasant it is to work here. I've had no problems with management, and my coworkers are great. Even the providers, hospitalists, and specialists are easy to work with. Scheduling is straight forward. It's mostly self schedule with timpani. We have 2 patients, and occasionally 3 in the ICU if there is a downgraded patient waiting for a bed. If you have a patient that is critical, or are sleding, you will be 1:1. Free parking, and there are always spaces. It takes 3 minutes to walk from parking to the ICU.

If floated, you're expected to take on the same number of patients as the floor nurses. It seems like almost every shift, an ICU nurse is being floated. They recently cut budget and now we draw our own blood work. If the census is low, they will send you home. They will also call you before work if the census is low, and put you on call, then call you in if the pt load picks up.

There are no pros to working with this company

Under paid, no raise, and always under staff
