Although many nurses work 12-hour shifts, extended work hours can lead to excessive drowsiness, increased patient errors, and occupational injuries for those who may be more suited to a daytime schedule instead.

November is National Caregivers Month. So, in this post, I celebrate caregivers. If you are a caregiver, thank you for all you do. The call to be a caregiver can come at any age.

Caregiving is usually uncompensated and takes its toll on the caregiver, families, and the patient.

In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno

Either way, you likely understand that the manual effort in collecting, verifying, and matching time worked with scheduled shifts. Combine this with manually inputting into your payroll system to see the significant time spent managing employee time and attendance.
