How it works: Each region shows the next 3 available nurses in line ("on deck"). When someone takes a coverage assignment, tap Assign coverage — that nurse rotates to the bottom of the list and the tally updates. Nurses marked on PTO/sick are skipped automatically.

Backup & Fairness Rules
These operational rules are built into the tool. Availability always overrides rotation order.
- Geographic priority — West covers West, East covers East whenever possible.
- Ranked backups — the top 3 available nurses per region are shown "on deck" so they know in advance.
- Rotate to bottom — after a nurse covers, they move to the end of their region's list.
- Availability overrides — approved PTO, sick, FMLA, or conflicts remove a nurse from the list temporarily; rotation order is otherwise preserved.
- Cross-regional escalation — only if a region's list is fully exhausted does the other region's pool appear as backup.
- Transparency — every coverage event is logged with a running fairness tally.
"Rotation order reflects anticipated priority for coverage requests but does not guarantee assignment. Daily operational realities, PTO, approved absences, clinic competencies, workload, and patient-care needs may necessitate adjustments."
