Does anyone know any easy way to do an off duty for nurses who are really picky with the shifts they do?
Just started to do the off duty on a ward i work, having problems cause everyone wnats certain things and it causing me real headaches to sort out. ie some people dont like working more than 4 days in a row, some dont like working a late followed by an early. does anyone know of a programme that would make my life easier

Hi Philt,
i'm manager of a care home, and roating is the biggest pain in my a***. however since everyone has now completed one rota and felt my pain things have become easier.
maybe looking at old rota's will show you how things fitted in before. however people need to remember that a request is just that, if they really can't work they need a good reason and may even want to consider A/L try to accomodate requests where you can as the staff are your biggest asset, but it must benefit both of you at times.
put the rota down, and then people will swap and sort the rest out
