Hi all,

Hope this is ok to post here🙂

I’m a student nurse and called in sick for placement due to a cold/covid. I rang in because I don’t want to make patients (who are going for/have had cardiac surgery) nor the staff ill. I’m soon to graduate this year and I’m thinking what do nurses (ie. me very soon) do when they have a cold. Like I would have worked through it but again I don’t want to make others ill who are already ill and vulnerable or those who are looking after the ill. Obviously my calling in sick now doesn’t impact the ward as I am not in the numbers but it’ll be different when I am in the numbers
