Questions

How do nurses send their wishes?

After you start a new schedule, you can share the wish link with your staff, where they add the days that suit them for work and the days that don't.

How are weekends and nights shared?

Weekends are shared by each nurse's hours, so a part-time nurse works fewer. You can also change this in the settings.

Can I limit how many shifts a nurse works in a row?

Yes, for example no more than three 12-hour shifts in a row, and no day shift straight after a night. You can change this in the settings.

My ward uses a different pattern. Does it still work?

Yes. This page shows a few simple example wards; in practice you can build many other kinds.
