More about TriCities Hospital
If you are finishing school, the paid year-long HCA residency here is a concrete on-ramp: Stepdown, Med-Surg Orthopedic, or Behavioral Health, with a facility preceptor, sims, mentoring from nurse leaders, and an evidence-based practice project. Stepdown new-grad postings show full-time days with rotating weekends and list an hourly range near $32.14–$48.20, with typical hires below the midpoint. If you already have acute-care time, the ER is stroke and chest pain accredited and has posted sign-on for emergency room RNs; Float Pool PRN work is aimed at nurses with at least two years of acute care. Education assistance is described as covering tuition, student loan support, and certifications, and the benefits picture includes medical with low or no copay on many services, dental and vision, a 401(k) with full match on 3–9% by tenure, an employee stock purchase plan, and moving help for qualifying roles. Nurses can also be nominated for the DAISY Award through HCA Virginia. What you should weigh honestly is the voice from people already there: peers often feel family-like, yet reviews on Glassdoor cluster around 2.5/5 from a small sample and name weak management support, staffing pressure, and turnover. Hopewell itself sits on the James River with a small-town pace and lower living costs, and Virginia is a compact-license state—so the commute and license math may be simpler than the culture questions you will want to ask on a shadow or interview day.
DAISY Award partner through HCA Virginia, recognizing nurses for extraordinary compassionate care; Joint Commission top-performing recognition and ER stroke and chest pain accreditation are part of how the facility presents quality.
