Hello all, I'm new to the site because I have a question I can't seem to get a straight answer on. I've been working in the infant room for about a year and I was diagnosed with C Diff a few days ago. I stayed home the day of diagnosis but now need to return to work this week and was wondering what your thoughts/opinions are on the situation. Obviously I am worried about infecting the children, and also concerned that I may have contracted it from one of them as well. My boss is not allowing me to take time off as we are short staffed, despite my doctor advising me to stay home until I tested negative. That could be up to 30 days away and I have seven days left of my treatment. We have notified parents and that's all that's been done so far. Has anyone had a similar experience with the teacher having C Diff as opposed to one of the children and what did you do?
