In order to get enough care places together, the regional management has decided on beds for overcrowding during weeks 30-31.

The weeks when there is the greatest shortage of staff at the hospital.

- We have to solve it in some way to take care of our patients.

We hope that our staff can stand up, but it is a tough situation, says health and medical care director Brita Winsa.

No extra bonus for ordered jobs

The bonus for those who show up has been reduced from SEK 2,800 to SEK 3,400 per day shift.

If the schedule still does not go together - the nurses have been told that they may be forced to cancel their holiday and be ordered to work - without an extra bonus.

"Afraid of not having the strength"

At surgeon 2, nurses are desperate because they have already lined up and taken on 50 extra shifts before this announcement, says the nurse and safety representative Martina Edberg.

- It is not possible to come the first holiday week with threats and coercion.

They have had the whole spring to solve this, says Martina Edberg and continues:

- You are afraid of not having the strength as there will be quite a lot of solo work with many sick patients.
