Is Nursie a nurse scheduling app or a rota planner?
Both describe its personal planning role. Nursie helps an individual nurse record and organise their own shifts. It is not a system for managers to allocate staff coverage.

What is Nursie?
Nursie is a personal nurse shift and rota planner for iPhone, iPad, and Android. It helps nurses organise working shifts and days off, add repeating patterns, set reminders, estimate pay, reflect on wellbeing, and share schedule basics.
Made by Paula and John in Ireland, Nursie combines a nurse-focused calendar with space for life between shifts. It is for managing your own nursing schedule, rather than assigning a ward’s staffing coverage.

Who is Nursie a good fit for?
Nursie is designed for individual nurses, including hospital, clinic, and agency nurses managing changing shifts. Nursing students and other healthcare shift workers can also use it as a personal planner.
Consider it if you want shift types, recurring patterns, pay estimates, and wellbeing reflections together. A general calendar may be enough if you only need appointments and reminders. If you need staffing allocation or an employer-approved rota, use your organisation’s scheduling system. Nursie does not replace that system.

One shift plan, different names
You may call your work pattern a rota in Ireland or the UK, a roster in Australia or New Zealand, or a nursing schedule in the US or Canada. These terms overlap: Nursie helps you record your personal working shifts and time off whichever wording you use.
Country examples explain terminology, not guaranteed store availability. Check your local App Store or Google Play listing before downloading. Nursie is a personal planner; do not assume it connects to an NHS, HSE, hospital, payroll, or local staffing system.
