WIBU to call in sick when I'm not sick?

[MusicalChairsOh]

I work in a nursing home and I'm due in on Wednesday.

2 patients were sick today and one had diarrhoea.

It's not definite that It's a bug yet and we won't be able to know until a few days.

It's my wedding day on Saturday.

Would I be being unreasonable to call in sick on wednesday to prevent myself any chance of catching the possible illness before my wedding day (providing I haven't caught it already)?

Taking a day off "sick" a few days before your wedding is going to look suspicious surely?

[JustDanceAddict]

I would take holiday

[Thunderthighs11]

I was fully ready to say yabu until I saw your reason why. I would ask to use annual leave

I've never managed to avoid any D&V bug in our household despite using plenty of hand gel and maintaining good hygiene, if only it were that simple.

YABU

Do you often get diarrhoea from patients?

[PurpleDaisies]

Every one pulls a sickie now and again!

Do they? I never have. It's totally unprofessional.

[Cantspell2]

Better find yourself a sterile bubble if you are going to that extent to avoid possible germs.

YANBU!!! Every one pulls a sickie now and again!
It's for your wedding!!! So as long as you can afford to miss a days pay just do it!

Wear face masks and use buckets of soap and hand gel.

I've worked in nursing hones for over 15 years and never caught anything.

Yanbu. I wouldn't want to risk it either. Is there any possibility of taking annual leave though instead?

[ColossalKalamari]

There's no way I'd risk my wedding day

[ImLizawithaZ]

Yanbu!

[PurpleDaisies]

Yabu.

Just use good hand hygiene.
