ShiftSentry

ShiftSentry is a web + mobile scheduler built specifically for nursing units that juggle rotating shifts, on-call pools, and last‑minute callouts. Managers create rules once (union constraints, max consecutive shifts, rest periods, skill mix, charge nurse coverage), then generate schedules that are fair and auditable. Nurses can swap shifts, volunteer for open on-call slots, and receive push/SMS alerts when coverage is needed. The app tracks who is next in the on-call rotation, confirms acceptance with one tap, and escalates automatically if no response. A lightweight dashboard shows staffing gaps by hour, overtime risk, and compliance warnings before a schedule is published. Export to payroll/timekeeping formats and keep a change log for disputes. The MVP focuses on small-to-mid facilities that still rely on spreadsheets, group texts, and manual phone trees.
