I just wanted to wish all of the nurses here a safe weekend since we are having our first real snow storm of the season. The roads are very dangerous with black ice and the winds are strong. Be careful if you have to go out to work. :Melody:

I live in Mason County, we didn't get a lot of snow, maybe 3 inches, but the ice underneath it from the freezing rain/sleet is what makes it bad. I'm lucky, I'm off until Wednesday. Like barefootlady says, be careful!

Hello Dixie

Glad to hear you will be safe at home until Wednesday. Where are you working, have not seen you on the BB in awhile.

Hello barefootlady,
I'm working at Lakin Hospital. It's a long term care facililty, we have quite a few mentally ill residents and those with behavioral problems. I work 7p-8:30a. It is located near Pt.Pleasant, and it is a state run facility.

Yes, I have heard of Lakin State Hospital. I thought it was closed down a few years ago. Glad it is still there, Sharpe is too far for people in your area. Did you have any problem with flood waters in your area? I have not been able to get in touch with several cousins on the banks of the Ohio, I know they were having high water. Well, you stay safe on the roads.

I didn't have any problems with high water, but the water got into the stores in Pomeroy, OH, just across the river from me. There has been rumors about Lakin closing for years. I think they did close the Colin Anderson State Hosp a few years back.
Take care.
