    NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar — Needs better integration I wish this came with a feature that pulls my calendar data from google or calendar or other task/event like apps. There are times I forget I have life events when I’m scheduling my shifts and that leads to conflicts and I end up having to find coverage.

I think this is used because it’s just a standard with nurses, everyone just hops in cuz it’s what’s popular. Not sure if that’s…
