Surrounded by Sickness
Yes, I know this is a recurring topic. With that said It’s also an important one. It’s been almost 3 years since my last hospitalization and I want to keep it that way. Monday a PCA called out with a sick kid (a different one than came to work with a cold.) The next day she called out again because her kid was still sick and she felt unwell. I guess they both tested positive for Influenza B and were given Tamiflu. Therefore she’s out today as well. When would you allow her back? I’m thinking next week? My PCA filling in is skeptical that she’s truly ill as she calls out rather frequently because her kid or herself is sick. Although I can see where it might seem that way I really don’t think she’s lying. That’s why I’d like to err on the side of caution and tell her to stay home and recuperate this week. Does that sound reasonable? In the past I’ve given my fill in PCA a gift card to thank her for filling in. Ideas on amount or place considering a limited budget? Being surrounded by sickness is really getting old.
