Do you know anybody who has been terminated by AdventHealth for too many absentee (like 8 days in one year)?

I had to call in sick for 8th time in a one year period and now I'm concerned whether they'd fire me without any verbal or written warning or not!

I think I had 6 or 7 over the course of nearly 2 years and they fired me. I really was constantly sick when I worked there because of the stress of being there. The supervisor acted uppity and said "I've only called out twice in like 20 something years I've been a nurse". Yet they would always tell us if you're sick, call out. I had two months left within my new grad contract. Just know that with that many call outs you have, you're on thin ice and they're watching you like a hawk, waiting for you to slip up. You should've at least had a verbal warning by now.

WOW! Even their own policy says 3 call ins are allowed in a year! I've been working with them for nearly 4 years. 
Did they give you any warning before termination of your employment?

Yes, they're supposed to.

Wow!  Three call ins a year are allowed!  How generous, NOT!  My best advice to the OP worrying about losing her job is find a non-bedside job where you aren't as stressed and exposed to as many bugs  and you will probably be much happier and less prone to illness!
