Making schedules and tools

Published

We currently use an excel form to do our nurse/CNA schedules and manually mark the xxxx/ooo’s every month and it takes for ever. What are some secrets some of you use to make it easier. It is somewhat of a rotating schedule. I thought there might be a program or something that would self populate the schedule when you put the first day of the month in but haven’t been able to find anything that might work.

I'm sure there are programs such as that.  Of course, as with everything else, it cost's money.  Typically, if my nurses are working 12 hour shifts, I work them 36 hrs one week, 48 hrs the next, with every other weekend 3 day weekend.  

Work Mon/Tues

Off Wed/Thurs

Work Fri/Sat/Sun

The following week it's exactly opposite of that.
