How do you handle asking for one day off during clinical rotation? I have had perfect attendance during class except for the super rare one time I was sick, so I was 5 mins late to class while I decided to wear a mask and come anyways.

Our school has a “do not ask for a day off policy.”

I made plans to go out of town on a Friday a year ago, everything has been paid for and booked already.

In the real world, this would be no biggie.

How do I express I just need one day off? I am happy to make it up!

Or! Do I just text in that morning that I am sick and cannot make it in? I hate the idea of dishonesty, but I really do not want to forfeit this trip.

I’m nearly a straight A student by the way and I put in a ton of work and I know it has to show that I care a lot.

Thank you!
