  • Time management

    I have enjoyed using nurse grid for the last 5 years! It has helped me to not miss a shift and make adjustments based on my employers schedule grid. I can just open up the app and adjust easily what is listed online. It also helps me keep track of the shifts I charge, precept, attend education, PTO, time off and of course payday. It’s a quick reference guide when called to ask if you can work extra! Nurse grid also helps me to know and manage MY work time versus FAMILY time. I love the color options and icons. I even use nurse grid as my Calendar versus my phone or wall calendar! If I could change one thing about nurse grid though it would be the option to be able to see at least two items on the actual day of each month instead of just one or tapping to see if there is any pertinent items scheduled for your shift. For example, if I’m charging and precepting on the same shift I would like to see “C” and “P” on the display calendar instead of clicking each date to view details. Thank you nurse grid!

  • Good but lacking

    I think this is a good app but is definitely not great. It feels very aged to me. There are apps with more functionality and more features. I think this is used because it’s just a standard with nurses, everyone just hops in cuz it’s what’s popular. Not sure if that’s why there are few updates and far between. Simple is good which is a great part of this app but there aredefinitely ways that can make it more user friendly and keep up with the times.

    With this app being out 4 years. I’m just expecting more. As others have suggested a dark mode would be appreciated as well as the ability to have a widget on your Home Screen for quick and easy viewing. More colors, icons that pertain to other aspects of life. I would also like to maybe have days with multiple events have a split color to see that my day isn’t just full of one thing without having to click on the dots for everyday I have lots going on. Also, definitely need to be able to compare multiple colleagues. Fortunately for me, I have more than one friend/coworker so it would be great to be able to pair up my schedule with ALL of them .

    Good app but can be better. Other Apps are too advanced for it to not have these features . Developers-I feel like need to be a little more innovative with ideas and make it a priority to push out not only bug fixes but ALSO new features, maybe a slightly different upgraded interface.

  • Needs a widget & ability to add payroll schedule, please!

    This app is extremely convenient since where I work doesn’t have an app or convenient online assess from my phone. The only thing that is missing is a calendar widget that can be placed on my home screen so when I’m making plans I can see my availability without looking or opening the app.

    I would also love if there was a feature where we can add which weeks we get paid (which each individual could view privately.) Having this would make a huge difference in how I plan my bills and payments.

    I literally feel that is the only thing my phone needs so it would be really nice to see this. Thank you!

  • For me, it’s missing a few things

    I think this app is great, and i love the visuals and that I can clearly see what nights I work vs trying to visualize it with my iPhone calendar. But the next 2 needs I have are 1) syncing between devices - I’m not sure I see the need for logging in and having an account if when I log in to my phone, the calendar is empty after I updated it on my iPad - and 2) to be able to import calendar events from my iPhone calendar (not to). I hope to see these features in the future, especially the device sync, because I think that’s important. Otherwise it definitely is great.

    Hi there, thanks for your review and feedback. We'll pass along your suggestion of an import calendar feature in NurseGrid to our Product Team for consideration in future updates. Regarding viewing your schedule on multiple devices, you should see your schedule if logged in to any device, and from what you're describing it sounds like you might have duplicate accounts. If you've not already, please contact us at support@nursegrid.com so that we can investigate further.
  • Failed open, certificate error

    The website and especially the APP are stating certificate expiration and error. So although I have an account the app isn’t loading anything. It isn’t giving the Option to sign out and then back in. Only options are to refresh- it refreshes to the error page.
    When the app is functioning it works well and for the most part provides what I need. Times like these when it isn’t working… it’s an inconvenience. The App Store shows I updated it 2 weeks ago… what’s wrong?? Can the error be fixed so I can move on with my functioning??

  • Best Schedule app for nurses!

    Great app! I love it so much and use this as my primary schedule for work and even outside of work. I have several suggestions that I really hope are taken into consideration!

    1. Allowing a repeat pattern schedule option. Some nurses have a repeating pattern for a schedule and it would be nice to have the option to have it put in automatically rather than having to do it manually.

    2. Groups! It would be sooo awesome if you could create a “group” of people and compare a group of schedules together in one! Rather than individual people.

    3. A “partial shift” option. I often pick up only 4 hours, and it would be nice to have a option for that.

    4. For days with multiple events, it would be helpful if it showed it on each day rather than dots. For example, if there is a yellow (education, etc.) and a blue (regular shift) in one day, then half of the box for that day could be yellow, and the other half be blue.

  • Worth the 5 stars!

    I am not able to mass edit my schedule anymore. I plan my schedule 3 months in advance as that’s how far out we self schedule at work, but now it’s a hassle to edit all my days for approved days. I can’t delete or remove my days without clicking on every single date. Please fix this it was easier before! I could click the + sign and mass edit my days with ease, now not so much.

    Edit: Thank you for the quick response! I much prefer the way it worked before but this is okay too! In a way I can see it prevents from shifts disappearing by misclicks. Thank you!

  • Great App for Nursing Shiftwork

    I work full time nights and teach at nursing as an adjunct. Either this app I am able to schedule both positions and it flows to my iPhone calendar. My coworkers use it to communicate and I can see who is working with me. The two jobs are able to be color coded. One of the best features are in credentials. All of my certifications are entered and I am able to see a photo of each. The site reminds me a couple months before renewal time. I am also able to block view when necessary as in before the actual schedule is published. I highly recommend and frequently use this app.

  • Great customer support!

    I normally don’t write reviews, nor do I ask for help with an app issue. But I’ve been pretty reliant on this app (it’s that great) that when it did crash on me, on a last bid of desperation, I contacted support for this app. They corrected the issue with the update and emailed me a couple of times with status updates. The customer support is phenomenal. The app is great. I’m dependent on it to view my schedule so that I don’t miss a shift. Love it and highly recommend it to anyone whose schedule is all over the place.

  • Great but too slow when it comes to making changes

    I love it and hate it. Love it because I can enter my schedule and see my colleagues schedule. But it is super annoying when it comes to making changes like editing and deleting shifts. If I put available to work and then go back to change it to regular shift - it takes forever. When you put your schedule you can do several days at the same time, but when you want to make changes or edit- it only let’s you do one change at a time and it takes a long time.
