Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a single-phase goal programming algorithm for scheduling nurses in one unit of the hospital. The goals represent the scheduling policies of the hospital and nurses' preferences for weekends on and off. An application to one unit of the hospital with 11 nurses resulted in satisfactory schedules. The computer time to solve the problem using a goal programming algorithm was very reasonable.
