Scheduling for nursing personnel involves many factors and requirements. Therefore, manual scheduling requires much time and effort to produce an adequate schedule. This paper introduces a PC based nurse scheduling support system which was developed in IVlicrosoft Access 2.0, an easy to use data base management tool.

Current Korean medical law stipulates that number of patients attended by a nurse is 2.~ for hospitalization. In addition, necessary nursing personnel by patient classification was determined four nurses for seven patients in this system based on the authors preliminar~~ study. And the second step is to assign daily duty type for each nurse at every nursing unit automatically.
The introduced system fully utilizes the GUI environment of Microsoft Windows and even makes the computer-novice nurses feel comfortable in using the system. This system can help nursing administrators improve nurse scheduling in a way of quick and easy schedule generation for the future. and allow nurses more time for patient care.
