Nursegrid review

Nursegrid is not a general to-do list, but it solves the problem most nurses have first: knowing exactly when and where they work. Its calendar page says you can enter full 6-week schedules in a few taps, add shift notes and set reminders, combine work shifts with personal events, and color-code multiple employers or worksites. The App Store listing adds the parts other apps cannot copy: comparing calendars with colleagues, seeing who you will work with before a shift, signaling availability for extra shifts or swaps, and messaging coworkers. An Apple Watch app shows weekly shifts and available swaps, and a calendar link lets family see your schedule. Nursegrid reports 650K+ active users. The trade-offs are clear: it has no projects, subtasks or priorities, the app contains advertising, and its social features are more than some nurses want. Most nurses will get the best result by pairing Nursegrid for shifts with TickTick, Todoist or Apple Reminders for tasks.
