There is a considerable gap between the health authorities’ recommended minimum norm for school nurse staffing and the actual figures at most schools in Norway.  

Nurses’ psychosocial challenges are transformed into something private and personal instead of being solved at an overarching level in the organisation.

Whether the therapist at the district psychiatric centre was a psychologist, psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse seemed to have little bearing on the outcome.

Measures such as the ‘getting-to-know-you’ day, the ‘float nurse’ function at an early stage, group meetings and internal training greatly benefitted supervisors and students at Oslo University Hospital.

Mobile intensive care nurses are called out to hospital wards when a patient’s condition is showing signs of deterioration. When are they called out, and what measures do they initiate?

Nurses can experience moral stress and feel a sense of shame when they are torn between a patient’s needs and the requirements of the treatment system. Ethical reflection in supervision can help.
