More about MEDRVA Healthcare
A current manager in Richmond has pointed to no weekends as a practical upside, and people who have worked here often credit caring teammates on the floor. Richmond itself runs a bit under the national cost of living, with average commutes around twenty minutes and neighborhoods that shift quickly from historic row homes in The Fan or Church Hill to quieter suburbs like Short Pump and Midlothian. Virginia is a compact-license state if you are bringing a multi-state license. The honest tradeoff is leadership reputation. Across a thin set of about five Glassdoor reviews the overall score sits near 2.5/5, with senior management and culture the weakest scores; some managers describe CEO-level distrust and turnover even while they still like their nursing peers and the schedule. If stable unit-level teamwork and weekday PAT work matter more to you than polished top-down culture, this is worth a direct conversation on the unit.
