Preference-based scheduling that builds fair, compliant schedules automatically, with a clear view of who's working where and when.
Short-staffed shifts, mandatory overtime, floating to units they've never worked, self-scheduling requests that get overridden. Each one gets justified as compliance or coverage. None of it accounts for the nurse working the shift.
Preference requests go into a spreadsheet and come out unrecognizable. When a nurse can't shape their own schedule, or flag that they're stretched too thin, that gets absorbed silently, shift after shift.
Self-scheduling requests routinely overriddenBuilding a compliant, fair schedule across med-surg, ICU, and ED and other units while covering call-outs, approving swaps, and chasing down open shifts eats the week before it even starts.
15+ hours lost per scheduling cycleTwelve-hour shifts, short staffing, and back-to-back stretches don't reset between weeks. By the time it shows up as a resignation letter, it's been building for months.
Nursing turnover costs $40K–$60K per nurseSoonest flags nurse burnout risk early, and that signal shapes next week's schedule and points to the right coaching.
Tell us about your unit, and we'll tailor a demo to your actual scheduling setup
Request a DemoSoonest started because our founder got tired of building his own group's schedule by hand. It was designed from the ground up to tackle the burnout crisis sweeping healthcare organizations.
Every group gets a dedicated Schedule Assistant, a real person who sets up your unit's rules and steps in for any questions that may come up along the way.
Scheduling, trades, payroll, messaging, and coaching live in the same place, so nothing gets tracked in a separate spreadsheet or a second tool.
From AI-generated schedules to real-time wellness intelligence and targeted coaching, all built for the complexity of nursing units.
Nurses set preferences, admins set rules, and the solver handles the rest. Multi-unit, multi-role schedules are resolved simultaneously.
There are three distinct workflows for shift changes. Nurses self-serve through the platform, and you set whether admin approval is required.
Time tracking is built directly into Soonest. Export directly to ADP, Paycom, Paylocity, or any provider.
Nurses rate how heavy the shift felt and optionally share what drove it with a 30-second end-of-shift check-in. Pulse AI surfaces burnout signals, safety flags, and at-risk staff, so you can act before it becomes a retention problem.
Pulse AI identifies what your team needs, and expert coaching delivers it. From 1:1 burnout recovery to team-level facilitation and safety training, Soonest offers programs recommended based on your real data.
