Nurse Scheduling at Several Different Hospitals
The Nurse Dispatcher was developed for staffing agencies providing nurses to work up to 3 daily shifts at several different hospitals. It is ideal for this application as well as others where you need to send people to work different shifts at different locations. Two sizes, 20 locations and 200 employees or 10 locations and 100 employees, each with up to 3 daily shifts are available. You simply specify the locations and shifts as well as employee names and availability. Employees are assigned on individual location sheets where daily assignments for a 2-week period are made from drop-down menus showing the names of available (not-yet-assigned) employees. The program makes sure that you do not assign overlapping shifts and will alert you if a person is assigned to more than 1 shift per day.
Spreadsheets for other scheduling applications are available at the website.
