This is revealed in a survey carried out by the Norwegian Nurses Association (NSF).
– We see it especially in the municipal health service that nurses are being replaced by assistants. It can have quite serious consequences if the right skills are not at work, says chief shop steward Daniel Brox in NSF in Tromsø to NRK.
There, 23.8 per cent of the shifts are covered by unskilled workers.
Deputy head of the Norwegian Nurses Association, Silje Naustvik, is serious about the fact that the nursing shortage is so precarious in the north.
– This applies both in the municipalities and in the specialist health service. There is a shortage of nurses, she says.
