In the need for improvement in productivity, hospital systems are facing human resources planning where they must guarantee the quality of patient care. In this paper, we propose a literature review on the nurses’ planning problems within health organizations. The aim is to classify the different works that have addressed these problems in relation to objectives, constraints to respect and solving methods proposed in order to generate the new contributions and the suggestions for improvement.
