Sick Note for Nurses & Healthcare Workers

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.

Why Nurses & Healthcare Workers Workers Need Sick Notes

Common Reasons for Nurses & Healthcare Workers Sick Notes

Employer Policies

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.

Shift Work Considerations

With 12-hour day/night rotations, most nurses cannot visit a clinic during their off-hours without sacrificing sleep. Online sick notes eliminate this problem entirely.

Average clinic wait time: Walk-in clinic wait in Edmonton/Calgary: 3-5 hours. MedLetter delivery: same day from your couch.. Skip the wait with MedLetter — get your sick note delivered same day from home.
