Computer software for scheduling

This probably doesn't even exist but I am looking for a computer program to help out with nurses scheduling.

What I am looking for is to input staff names, times they available (7a-7p Fri-Sun for example).

Then have it keep track of who is on call, who to call first if more than one nurse is on call, who is on bonus, who gets sent home first if all the patients deliver, etc.

Also have it where the nurses can enter their preferences or if they want changes in the schedule or need to go home early or take a vacation day or whatever...

This way a computer can figure out the most economical, reasonalbe, schedule without any favoritism. If designed right it should help save the hospital money and improve workplace satisfaction......hopefully.

Our facility uses a program called "Intragale". We haven't been using it very long. It has its ups & downs just like anything else.

hi, this is what we use in our facility, we (nurses) don't have access to the scheduling part though. hope it helps.
