You spend your shifts caring for others. When you need to call in sick, get your documentation without sitting in the same waiting rooms you work in.
Alberta Health Services and most healthcare employers require a sick note after 3 consecutive days. Some units require documentation after 1 day due to patient safety. AHS accepts notes from any licensed physician.
