called in sick

to keep a long story short...I transferred about a month ago to a new unit from a hospital I have worked at for two years. I am still on orientation and I called in sick today because I know I have a UTI. I tried taking azo to help relive the pain, drank lots of water and cranberry juice to try to hold me over without pain until the end of the shift but it didn't work and I ended up calling in. I just feel really bad for calling in and that it could be held against me....i'm going to the doctor today so maybe I will present a doctor's note voluntarily.

    I am lucky...I work the night shift so we are able to drink throughout the night. When I orientated on days I was against policy to have food or drinks at the nurses station even in the back away from public view where we sometimes chart. I would go 14 hours with only one drink during my 30 minutes for lunch, and sometimes I didn't even get that. During nights I keep a bottle of water at the desk where I chart, and sip on it through the night.

    That's ridiculous :eek:. How can people be expected to work for 12+ hours without hydration? I guess it saves taking time out to pee.....:rolleyes:
