Consider Skill Mix: Ensure that each shift has a balanced mix of experienced and less experienced nurses. Equitable Distribution of Shifts: Rotate undesirable shifts (night, weekend) fairly among staff. Use Scheduling Software: Employ advanced scheduling software to automate and optimize the process. Maintain Open Communication: Foster a culture of transparency where staff can voice concerns and suggest improvements.
