Description Sherry Gillespie Miller, RN, MSN, was Director of Nursing for Pediatric and Maternal Infant Nursing in 1989. She begins her interview by describing the days leading up to Hurricane Hugo’s landfall. She discusses the decisions made by Children’s Hospital nursing directors and administrators to ensure the safety of patients and staff. She describes boarding up the windows in both the neonatal intensive care and pediatric intensive care units. Miller describes how she and her staff maintained patient care throughout the storm. For example, evacuating patients from their rooms into the hallways because of fear of windows shattering, and helping NICU patients breathe using hand ventilators. She also describes the evacuation of adult patients out of the main hospital into the Children’s Hospital because of power outages. The interview includes discussions on staff and patients’ reactions to the storm, damage sustained by the hospital, recovery efforts, and Miller’s thoughts on MUSC’s disaster planning.
