Who it is for
A weekly planner for nurses and shift workers
Nurses and shift workers use Cutline to plan the life around the rota: shifts sit in the Grid, training and errands go on days off, and sleep and recovery are planned like anything else.
The shift worker's week
A rota changes every week, sleep moves with it, and the days off disappear into errands and recovery. Without a plan, training and the things you enjoy are the first to go.
Plan around the rota
- Put shifts in first. If your rota tool offers a calendar feed, link it so shifts appear by themselves.
- Protect sleep before shifts as a block.
- Training on days off, short and fixed.
- One errand block per day off, so the rest stays free.
The Nurse Shift Week template lays it out.
What to measure
| Number | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Training sessions per week | The first thing shifts take away |
| Sleep window before shifts | Recovery for the next shift |
| Days off with something you enjoyed | The life part of work-life |
Questions
Can Cutline handle night shifts?
Yes. Blocks can run late into the evening, and a night shift can be two blocks: one before midnight and one after.
Is it a health app?
No. It is a planner. For health questions, talk to your doctor.
