My mother Dorothy Savidge (Lawrenc) was a nurse there (Cental Islip and graduated in the class of 1939. She is 93 yrs old now and in hospice care.
She told the story of living in Pa. and her girlfriend saw an ad
to get nurse training. She said something about $39.00. Is that
what the ad said tuition would cost, or was that what the trainees
were paid.? The ad did not mention it was a "state" hospital. I would
like to be able to tell the story right! Thanks.

See, this is the sort of thing that creeps me out. It's the fact that some child lived in this place, probably for most of his life

They probably weren't for patients. All that metal is dangerous.

Sorry, I forgot I posted here. I doubt anyone's going to see this, but I'll answer anyway. During the night a staff member (usually tech) will sit in one of these chairs or at a desk and monitor the patients. They might do some charting, but they're largely there to make sure we're sleeping, or at least not roaming about.
