Nurse has no predictable work schedule due to manager's refusal to provide any set shifts, making childcare and personal planning impossible.

Workarounds Described

• Tries to request one set shift from manager, denied
• Relies on family help for childcare due to unpredictable schedule
• Asks manager for accommodation for appointments, uncertain

Implied Software Gaps

• A scheduling system that enforces fair rotation and guarantees at least one consistent shift per week
• A platform where staff can view and claim open shifts in advance for childcare planning

ShiftBalance

ShiftBalance is a scheduling platform that brings self-scheduling and fairness to healthcare staffing. It allows nurses to set availability preferences, swap shifts easily, and ensures managers can still meet coverage requirements with automated conflict resolution.
