Victoria Lundqvist, 24, started working as a nurse at the emergency reception at Kungälv Hospital. Even then, she thinks the work situation was stressful – today she is even worse.
As a result, Victoria resigned, and SVT News West was the first to attract attention.
"All we can do is work as much as possible and try to save the situation, but I can not feel it now, I felt stressed and insufficient, as I do not know, and I do not can never let go of work when I'm at home, "she says.
"Everyone is unhappy"
Victoria thinks there are so many patients that staff can not help meeting everyone's needs.
"I do not think I can guarantee safe patient care, I come home and realize that I have missed things.

She says that many colleagues feel similar and that they have tried to influence the direction, but that nothing has worked. In the department of Victoria, seven staff members have resigned, says the Swedish Federation of Health Care.
– Everyone is unhappy. According to Victoria Lundqvist, the work environment needs to be fixed and salaries increased so that more staff look here.

"Worse than ever"
Sofia Tholén Dahlman is a representative of the Federation of Health Care. She says that the Kungälv hospital has had a negative spiral.
– It's serious. The situation at Kungälv Hospital is worse than ever. The work environment is mediocre, the staff ends and the reception areas must be closed.
Sofia Tholén Dahlman thinks the hospital has long called for help, especially at Victoria's emergency care reception.

"It's a lack of security for patients and staff, there are beds and things everywhere, patients sleep in the dining rooms and in the hallways, which means stress for everyone, just imagine it would start to burn, she said.
The situation began to be problematic four years ago, she says. Since then, it has deteriorated.
– Now it's really bad. For Sofia Tholén Dahlman, there is a need to improve the working environment, as well as wages and working hours, so that more staff come to the hospital.
"We must repair the work environment"
Magnus Karlsson is director of the hospital Kungälv hospital. He states that the situation at the hospital has been difficult during and after the summer and that patients are placed in the staff rooms as well as in the dining rooms.
– It's really bad. It should not be that. But we also put patients in the dining rooms, that is, the day rooms. In any case, it's bad, he told SVT.
For GT, Magnus Karlsson says:
– What's going on is not good. Placing patients in dining rooms and hallways is a matter of staff shortages. We will try to bring in more newly graduated nurses.
He does not see wage increases as a solution to the problem.
"It's not clear that more people are starting to work here, even though we could raise wages, and for me it's mostly about the work environment, we need to improve the work environment. Group of employees will sit next week to discuss how to improve it, "said Magnus Karlsson.
