title: The impact of technology: protection in Norway and Denmark.
abstract: The impact of technology on nurses and their work conditions has been a preoccupation of many national nurses' associations. The ease with which they have been able to solve the ensuing problems for nurses, improve their working environment and provide the necessary training has often depended on their respective country's basic laws and their bargaining muscle. Below are examples of how nurses can protect their rights under two different legal systems based on a report from Per Godtland Kristensen, executive director of the Norwegian Nurses Association (Norsk Sykepleier Forbund), and a recent survey by the Salaried Employees' and Civil Confederation (FTF) in Denmark.
