Thanks for the comments everyone. Personally, I'm OK if someone calls out even if there is a chance they're contagious. I think that's the right thing to do. But it does seem like everyone's a bit more stressed and overworked than at my last job having to cover shifts all the time. Management is talking about implementing a new policy, so I wasn't sure if this is something we're just facing or it's more common. Appreciate you sharing! EE

I recently starting working at a hospital after working in a small GP office for five years, and it seems like a lot of my new coworkers call in sick on a regular basis. I'm just wondering if getting sick is a more common thing and something I should be prepared for. How often do you or others generally call-in sick on a given day? Thanks EE
