BadgeBoard is the shift-life app for nurses and hospital workers.
Track your shifts, estimate your take-home pay, review how each shift went, save your work links, and compare schedules with friends. All from one iPhone app.
Built by a bedside ICU nurse. Not affiliated with any hospital, employer, or staffing agency.
Inside the app
Everything a hospital shift actually involves
Built around the real parts of hospital shift life: schedules, pay planning, shift reviews, friends, call, and work links.
Your shifts on one clean grid
Tap a shift template and mark the days you work. Days, nights, weekends, and call all sit on one color-coded monthly grid, so a glance tells you how the week actually looks.
- Reusable shift templates
- Multiple jobs on one calendar
- Month-at-a-glance view
- Sync shifts to your phone’s calendar
Estimated take-home, itemized
See an estimate for each pay period across every job you work, broken out into regular time, overtime, differentials, deductions, and estimated taxes.
- Per-job and combined totals
- Differentials and overtime
- PTO and hours tracking
Pay estimates are informational only — not payroll, tax, legal, or financial advice.
Rate your shifts and keep the details that matter
Rate a shift, add a private note, and track details that fit your role, such as assignments, units, or cases. Save memorable shifts as milestones. At the end of the year, Year in Review brings together your shifts, hours, ratings, work patterns, job stats, and milestones.
- Quick shift ratings and private notes
- Role- and unit-specific detail
- Milestones for the shifts worth keeping
- Year-to-date and weekly trends
Compare schedules with coworkers
Add coworkers and see who’s working with you or off the same days. You choose what gets shared, so comparing schedules never means oversharing.
- See who’s on together
- Find shared days off
- You control every detail
Keep call shifts straight
Call doesn’t work like a normal shift, so BadgeBoard treats it as its own type. Log your standby hours, add the hours you actually got called in, and the pay estimate accounts for both.
- Standby hours at your on-call rate
- Called-in and callback hours
- Call days look different on the grid
Every work link in one place
Save the portals you actually open on shift: paystubs, the scheduler, HR, benefits, your 401(k). They stay grouped by job so your work links are easy to find.
- Grouped by job
- Custom links
- No more digging through bookmarks
Who it’s for
Made for the people who actually work the floor
BadgeBoard fits the way hospital shifts really run, whatever badge you wear.
Nurses
Three- and four-shift weeks, nights, weekends, and call. Mark the days you work, log how each assignment actually went, and keep your pay math in one place.
Respiratory Therapists
Cover multiple units and floors in a single shift. Keep your schedule, your work links, and your shift notes organized across the whole hospital.
CNAs & Techs
See your shifts at a glance, plan around school or a second job, and keep the links you reach for on shift one tap away.
Lab, ECMO, imaging, students & more
For lab, ECMO, and imaging techs, students on clinical rotations, and other hospital roles managing rotating schedules, call, resources, and shift notes.
BadgeBoard is a personal organizer for shift workers. It makes no medical claims and is not tied to any specific employer, role requirement, or payroll system.
Privacy & control
Your schedule, shared on your terms
Hospital schedules are personal. BadgeBoard is built so comparing them with coworkers never means giving up control.
Sharing is opt-in
Friends features are off until you turn them on. Add coworkers only when you want to.
You control every detail
Choose exactly what each friend can see, or switch on Private Mode to hide all of it.
Your notes stay private
Your journal notes and individual shift ratings stay private. You choose what summary information, like your Year-to-Date Rating, is shared with friends.
Per-friend visibility includes:
Pay estimates are informational only — not payroll, tax, legal, or financial advice. BadgeBoard is independent and not affiliated with any hospital, employer, staffing agency, payroll provider, or health system.
The difference
What normal calendars miss
Normal calendars show events. BadgeBoard tracks the parts of hospital shift life that actually matter: call, how each shift went, pay estimates, friends’ schedules, work links, nights, weekends, and multiple jobs.

The story
Built by a bedside ICU nurse and still shaped by real shifts.
BadgeBoard was created by an ICU nurse who still works at the bedside and understands how messy hospital schedules can get: nights, weekends, call, extra shifts, rough assignments, multiple jobs, and the constant mental math before payday.
It is not another enterprise scheduling system or generic calendar. It started as a practical way to manage the parts of hospital life that normal calendars ignore: tracking shifts, estimating take-home pay, reviewing how shifts actually went, saving work links, and lining up days off with the people you work alongside.
These are privacy-conscious tools that respect your time, your schedule, and your data, built from active hospital experience rather than assumptions.
