UNIT-BASED SCHEDULING

Build 12-hour rotations and rotating shifts in minutes

Use our nurse scheduling software to build templates for complex 3×12 patterns, weekend rotations, and PRN shifts to ensure your floor is always covered by the right skill mix.

FLOAT POOL COORDINATION

Organize your team across units and departments

Manage a “float pool” or share staff across multiple clinics and wings with a clear view of departmental coverage, reducing confusion and ensuring compliance with unit standards.

UNIT ACCOUNTABILITY

Precise attendance for better coverage planning

Replace messy paper logs with a secure digital time clock to track every shift differential and break. Get the visibility every nurse manager needs to protect their team from burnout.

Managing a floor is unpredictable, but your nurse schedule shouldn’t be. When last-minute callouts occur, our nurse scheduling app lets you post OpenShifts to your entire qualified database, including PRN and part-time staff.

It’s a smarter approach to nurse management that keeps your team energized, your patient care consistent, and your administrative workload under control.

By ensuring your data is precise, you protect your team from burnout and ensure every shift has the coverage required for safe patient care.

Get real-time visibility into who is on-site and receive instant alerts before staffing gaps impact your unit. Centralizing your timesheets provides the audit-ready reporting every nurse manager needs to prove compliance and optimize resources.
