More than half of nurses surveyed (56%) rated real-time self-scheduling to be an important feature of nurse scheduling apps, suggesting that many nurses value an enhanced ability to control their schedules on a daily basis. Other nurses want features that allow them to earn compensation for working open shifts, view their pay history, or be more closely integrated with the payroll system. These and other emerging features project a time when nurse scheduling and work models will be less top-down directed and more frequently self-directed through handheld technology. The anticipated result is greater staffing efficiency, more job satisfaction for nurses, and higher rates of nurse retention .
