I started my first job in August, and I've already missed two shifts due to illness. Well, now the flu hit me, and I’m supposed to work this weekend, but I can barely get out of bed. I can't decide if it's worth dragging myself in so I don't ruin my reputation, or if I should prioritize my health. How bad does this look for a new nurse?

This shouldn't even be a question. If you have the flu you shouldn't be working. Call your supervisor and let them know. They're not going to want someone with the flu on duty, of course.
