Casual nurse bank using AESOP computerized rostering

[gogirlgo]

Hi,

Anyone willing to share their experiences with AESOP, the computerized rostering system that a lot of hospitals seeming to be introducing for their rostering. Have a look at http://www.aesophealthcare.com.au. Casual bank nursing staff at the Victorian public hospital where I work now get their shifts thru this system which utilizes txt messages, Internet and automated phone methods. No more writing availability in the Ward diary - now u wait for a txt or select open shifts on the Internet.

Would love to know how it works from the employers end - do a certain batch of preferred nurses get offered a shift first before it is open to all? Just trying to figure out how to make the best use of the system.

It looks fabulous, you can even specify txt messages and no phone calls!

Thanks.

we have a computerised system but not that fancy! We use rosterweb and you check your roster from home and put in requests and availability etc. but no text messages!

It is great if you have an event come up and you are not at work for a few days to stick it in! I remember the days of calling a friend that was at work to put a request in the diary!
