Recovery is the purpose
The calendar is the foundation, but Nursie exists to help nurses feel more rested, less overwhelmed, and more in control.
About Nursie
Made by a Nurse, for Nurses Recovering From Shift Work
Nursie was shaped by Paula, a Filipina nurse with 14 years' experience, and built with her husband John to help nurses plan shifts, protect rest, and feel more like themselves between work days.
Founder story
Meet Paula and John
Nursie is created by Paula and John, a husband-and-wife team living in Ireland with their two children.
Paula is originally from the Philippines and has worked as a nurse for 14 years. She understands the reality of shift work: the nights, the tiredness, the planning, the missed weekends, and the mental load that comes with always checking your rota.
That experience shaped Nursie's bigger purpose. It is not only here to answer "When am I working?" It is here to help nurses ask "How am I doing?" and "How can I recover better?"
John is the developer behind the app, bringing Paula's ideas, nursing experience, and love of planners to life.
Why it matters
Built to Help Nurses Recover From Shift Work
After years of working shifts, nights, weekends, and unpredictable rosters, Paula knew how much nurses have to organise their lives around work. She also knew the harder part is often recovering from it.
Nursie is designed to feel softer, calmer, and more supportive than the usual cold, clinical shift tools. Paula has always loved journals, planners, and thoughtful design. Nursie brings that feeling into a simple shift planner that helps nurses protect life outside work.
- Plan your rota without wrestling with a generic calendar.
- Track days off, nights, reminders, wellbeing, and shared shifts in one place.
- Keep work organised while protecting rest, recovery, and family time.
- Open a planner that feels calm, friendly, and made for the human behind the schedule.
What we are building
More Than Just a Shift Calendar
Together, Paula and John are building Nursie as a calm little space for nurses to organise work, recover from shift work, and take their life back.
Designed to feel calm
The app is meant to feel friendly, cute, and easy to open, even when the rota itself is busy or exhausting.
Built from real nurse life
Paula brings the nurse-life insight. John builds the app. Together, they keep Nursie focused on real nurses and life between shifts.
Because nurses already carry enough stress.
Your planner should not add to it. Nursie helps nurses plan shifts, protect recovery, and feel a little less overwhelmed by life on the rota.
Plan Your Shifts. Recover From Them.
