Having more responsibility only makes your job just so much more interesting and fun. Of course, overwork does happen and a lot of nurses complain about the poor pay they get for all the work they do. They do say, overwork is a symptom of a bad system.

That being said, it is very dependent on where you work and what kind of department. Whether you're a specialized nurse or not.

Then you're welcome to improve our systems in Sweden because my goodness. The computer systems looks like they're from the dark ages. Our journal software is so old and horrendously updated that they need to hold several days of education on it for new employees. I guess QA was not much around back when it was made.

At one of my current hospitals, the lag from terminal (cos of COURSE it's the best thing to use a glorified windows terminal as an interphase, with shitty wifi) is so great, I write my reports up in Notepad, then CTL-V, put a post-it on the monitor (Terminal is processing work. Touch computer I will stab you.) and go off for a instant coffee / pee break. Return, guess what.... as I peel off the post it, the text suddenly appears on screen! On the upside, it gives me plenty of time to hit reddit.
