What is wrong about the patients families being concerned over them and taking them out to evacuate??? I dont get it, if my relative was in a nursing home in the path of a major category hurricane I'll be darned if I would worry over my self only and not even bother to get them to safety. This doesnt make any sense, stay during a major disaster and be responsible for someone else's family member? I'm sorry, I also have priorities and my family and pets comes first. After we saw what happened during Ivan we no longer take any chances and our safety comes first. If anyone had noticed that after last year all the facilities here were advertising for nurses all shifts. Seems that the hardnose policy of not showing up backfired and they were without staff for a length of time. Didnt see that this year, with the exception of the facility mentioned that started this thread. There are too many other LTC centers that would be happy to have you and they also have health insurance. It isnt worth your life or license.
