That would be great! Thank you! I am going to write something up So it makes sense. Should I post here or do you have an email?

I might have someone that can create this type of program. Can you provide me with your email. I will see if we can make something that will help suit both our needs. ((Fingers crossed))

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I know some techie college kid out there could make a fortune making something like this. In theory, it doesn't seem like it would be hard for someone who knows what they are doing to create. >. PLEASE do share if and I will do the same! :)

I am new to the role of clinical placement coordinator for student nurses. I know I am not the only one in this role that responsible for coordinating the student nurses clinical rotations that is thinking "There has to be a better way". I have searched all over the internet and can't find anything to do what I need to. I can't imagine everyone is doing this manually. Before I reinvent the wheel and attempt to learn programming language myself, does anyone know if there is a program out there that allows us to: Enter in list of students-block off dates they have didactic (or scheduled absence) Enter in faculty available-days of the week and times they are available Enter in the clinical sites available - including days and times they are available Enter in number of students allowed for each site (i.e. 6, 8, 10, 12) Enter in rotation length Then hit "run" and it figures out the schedule, including the groups of students, where they are going, when, and who their instructor will be! Not too much to ask, is it?? LOL I swear, I'd pay out of pocket to get a program like this. Thanks in advance!

Didactic faculty make less money than the clinical (which are usually adjuncts without benefits) Didactic requires you to have PhD, clinical educators have to have MSN or be in an MSN program. Faculty make the same rate as a brand new nurse on a unit. Doesn't pay well=nurse faculty shortage.
