NurseGrid Manager

What NurseGrid Manager is

NurseGrid Manager helps care teams organize schedules, shift changes, and staff communication. Managers can create and share schedules, then review and respond to shift changes in real time. Staff use the Nursegrid mobile app to choose shifts, coordinate with colleagues, and receive updates. Visible gaps can be offered as open shifts for staff to pick up. The product is intended for teams of 2 to 250 at critical access hospitals, hospital departments, surgery centers, and clinics. It supports full-time, part-time, PRN, and contract staff, and includes credential tracking and availability management. Nursegrid Manager is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The listed plan costs $5 a month, billed monthly per staff member, and includes a free 30-day trial. The product page offers live chat and a contact form for questions and sales inquiries. Nursegrid says its services are provided by HealthStream, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates; hStream ID powers sign-up and login.
