No Okie all essential personnel, nurses, respiratory therapist, managers must stay for the duration of the storm. We try for a Cat 3 or higher to get the sickest patients moved out to another facility out of the danger zone but we and the rest of the patients stay put. Our department works on the if you are scheduled to work then you must be there or lose your job motive. This is like my 5th hurricane at this hospital, most of the time its a giant sleepover for 2 nights, for Katrina we were there with no water or air conditioning for 6 days beore we were able to evacuate all our patients out,we are hoping Gustav is not a repeat of that. Since I am scheduled for Monday and Tuesday I will have to show up at the hospital sunday and those people will get to go home and get there houses in order then once the storm passes they come relieve us. I am thinking I'll be there sunday-thru probably thursday if it hits tuesday..I am still in denial and am hoping it turns and goes down towards Mexico.
