What Did You Do?

Since we are dealing the after effects of Hurricane Ike and I have posted about the need to be prepared for any disaster, I wanted to hear from any nurses affected by the Hurricane. What did you do in regards to work? Were you able to work? Did you refuse to work (if so, why)? What were the problems at work? What steps did you have to take to provide for your family while you worked? These comments may help others to see the issues that can occur and thus, help them prepare for future disasters.

So, leave a comment (no need to identify yourself). There is also a poll.

NOTE: The power is still not on in most of Houston and the remaining Gulf Coast, so it is of no surprise that there have been no comments from those impacted. Just another reminder for all reading that preparation needs to happen now. Perhaps once the power is back on and once lives are back to normal, I can get some comments in order to let others know what it was like for your fellow nurses.
