How it works

Automatic conflict blocking

Nursa validates all shift requests against your consecutive hours rule, automatically invalidating those that exceed your set limit. Pending conflicts are blocked, and already scheduled shifts remain untouched for seamless operations.

Full visibility and control

All invalidated requests can be tracked under the Manage Requests screen. You retain flexibility to adjust or remove your set limit anytime, ensuring your policies adapt to evolving facility needs.

Easy facility-wide setup

Your consecutive hours rule applies across all license types and shift categories. Once configured in your Facility Profile, Nursa automatically manages compliance—so you don’t have to micromanage schedules.
