I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. The waiting for the results is the worst. I am in the same boat, I returned to work on this week after being placed on quarantine because of potential exposure from patient and my spouse was running fever ( due to a flair up of diverticulitis-previous hx of abscess that needs repair),and was told today that you will be paid if you have the PTO time. I would have been at work if I was not MADE to stay home, no s/s and I do not have PTO since I have not hit the “time of employment” mark yet for it to kick in. I have only missed 2 days of work since starting, bc my daughter had to have an emergency ORIF due to multiple open communicated fractures of her TIB/FIB. It’s sad that we are not provided the proper PPE ( we do not have ANY), provide compassionate care to anyone who walks/rolls in the door, told to “stay Home until results are back” and then penalized for following the protocol when our results are negative.
