Abstract :
In this study, a computerized nurse scheduling model is developed. The model is approached through a binary integer programming. It is adapted to ICU in university educational hospital, New Kasr El-Eni in Cairo to improve the current manual-made schedules. The developed model accounts both for hospital objectives and nurses´ preferences seniority.
