frequently asked questions
What if my nursing shift gets crazy and I can't stick to my planned schedule?
That's exactly why PlanHourly works so well for nurses. You're not locked into rigid time blocks — just drag tasks around as your shift evolves. The visual layout helps you quickly see what can be moved or combined when emergencies pop up.
Can I set up templates for my rotating shifts as a nurse?
Absolutely! Use recurring schedules to set up your standard day shift, night shift, or weekend routine once. Then you can easily adjust for different units or patient loads without starting from scratch each time.
Will this work on the hospital computers during my nursing shifts?
Yes — PlanHourly runs in any web browser, so it works on hospital computers, your phone, or your tablet. No downloads or IT approval needed, and you can access it anywhere you have internet.
