the morgue is located in the basement of building 23. bldg 23 was the med-surg bldg, the clinics, OR and recovery room. we students learned alot of basic nursing in these bldg's. i remember having to go down there to bring a body to the morgue or to go to the oxygen supply room to bring up the large oxygen tanks that were used for the pt's up on the 4th floor ICU. you were never allowed to roam the halls alone as a patient may be wandering about. there were several girls in my class that got beat up by pt's and then left, but i stayed as i loved the whole place and was intregued. i lived on campus as i came from upstate and learned and saw alot. it is such a special place.
and by the way the cemetary is that empty field just off the south service road of the LIE, you won't find any head stones but only stone plagues with numbers on them. you would have to go to administration bldg and match the number with a name in a log or registry book. this was the only way to identify the person in the cemetary. of course we students use to go out there to party at nite. but we never desicrated or stepped on the stones.

i went to PSH from 1971 to 1974 for nursing school and it was the best 3 years of my life. you had to live there to feel the specialness of the place. i cry every time i go through the hospital grounds because it is horrible to see what time and progress has done to such a special place. i could ramble on but i don't want to bore anyone. but if anyone wants info about it you can email me at lindad51@ optonline.net. great memories!!!!!!!!!!!
