I am so thankful not to work in a hospital anymore.

Ditto!

There were times I couldn't in any way, shape, or form make it...every route was flooded out, or snowed under.

Other times, it was somebody else, and those of us there, STAYED there, until others could make it in and relieve us. Sometimes, it meant we still stayed in an unoccupied room, instead of trying to get home & come back.

OTOH, we were in a rural area, without any meaningful public transportation.

I remember that a friend of mine drove in at night during the blizzard of ‘78. She got hit by a semi and was almost killed. The hospital that we worked at put a lien on her house waiting for the insurance settlement to pay her bill and would not give her any compensation as she was not considered to be on the clock. On the other hand, I was on my way to the private agency that I work for and was rearended and almost killed,I wasn’t going to file a worker’s comp claim, but our HR person insisted that I do because I was on my way to work.
There’s a lot to be said for the private sector!
