cal·rnWorkforce scheduling · nursing units
The schedule remembers who worked last holiday.
calrn gathers every nurse's shift requests, builds a fully-staffed draft in seconds, then tracks who carried the hard shifts — so the next schedule evens out.
A full schedule in minutes, not a lost weekendHow it works
From shift requests to a posted schedule.
Four steps, the same ones a charge nurse already works through — only the math is handled for you.
Collect
Staff mark on, off, and PTO on a six-week grid. A standing default week fills the blanks, so silence never reads as availability.
Generate
The engine fills bedside coverage first, conserves scarce specialists, and meets every per-shift productivity target.
Refine
Override any cell. Live coverage diagnosis explains each gap and flags a rule to relax when one can't be met.
Publish
Posting locks the period and commits the fairness ledger, so the next schedule starts from an honest record.
The difference
Fairness that carries forward.
Most schedulers optimize one period and forget it. calrn keeps a running ledger: it scores the harm of each undesired assignment, tracks every nurse's deviation from their fair share, and solves to lift the worst-off first.
- Weekends, holidays, and last-minute change days all count.
- Whoever was owed an easier stretch gets it next period.
- Every manual override re-scores against the same ledger.
Built for the unit
Every trait that shapes a fair schedule.
The people, not just the headcount
Licenses, competencies, the role-specialist stance, and the orientee-to-preceptor link — so the right nurse lands in the right slot.
Coverage you can prove
Per-shift RN targets, the license and competency coverage matrix, and live productivity metrics against beds and census.
Rules you set, hard or soft
Role-coverage requirements, leave types, and weekend rotation — a catalog the unit configures, not hard-coded assumptions.
Overrides without chaos
Pin assignments and edit any cell. Coverage re-diagnoses live and the fairness ledger re-scores every change.
Trust
Your staff's information stays private.
A schedule holds people's names, time off, and licensure. calrn keeps each unit's information separate and lets only the right people in.
Separate by organization
Every unit's schedule and staff records stand on their own. One organization can never see another's people or plans.
Access for the right people
Administrators build the schedule; staff sign in to see only their own requests and shifts — nothing more.
Always there when you need it
The schedule keeps working through network hiccups, so it's ready on the floor even when the connection isn't.
