You'd not only be risking your job, but your license as well (as in, future employment in your field).

I'm far from certain that deciding to stay on the job isn't a rational choice. It depends on how much losing your job actually lets you lower your odds of getting Covid-19, and whether, once sick, Covid-19 survival rates are different for healthcare workers.
