Vantaggi
Pretty flexible with scheduling in advance, particularly if you're a student at one of the nearby universities. Great way to get insight into the medical world, specifically emergency medicine. Excellent way to get hours for med school, PA school, nursing school, etc. Some limited patient contact. There are ways to pick up extra shifts to get paid more in a week.
Svantaggi
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.
