Yesterday we were on a tour at the hospital - that was fun!! But, we were told that every nurse in Finland has about 7 patients each. That's a lot!! In Denmark we only have around 3-4 patients each and we feel stressed sometimes...
I do not understand how the nurse can manage the total care for the patient, when she has up to 7 patients per day - I'm thinking about the hygiene, talking with the patient, medicin giving, writing in the journal and all the other practical tasks a nurse has on an ordinary working day.
However, the English students told us, that they can have 12 patients a day - I don't even know what to say :-)
Interesting!!!!
