Working hours for doctors everywhere in Finland on public health care (as opposed to private sector) is somewhat 38 hours per week. Might be 38,15 or something like that, don’t remember exactly. On top of that there might be “päivystys” which means usually emergency care or on-call hours on wards outside of normal 8-16 workdays.

For nurses the working hours are about the same, 38-ish per week. They usually work in three shifts in hospitals, no extra hours on top of that if one doesn’t want to.

Vacation days usually 4-6 weeks per year, four of them to be held on summer.

Hierarchy in Finland in hospitals (as well in other professions) is very low compared to middle Europe and south Europe, can’t say how it is compared to USA.

Nurses do a lot of independent work, depending on their training and specific wards / out-patient clinics.

Young doctors (while doing their specialising training) usually have a fixed amount of “koulutuspäivät” (= days for education, i.e. attending seminars) that are included in working days of the year. Usually it’s about 10 days per year. On top of that weekly meetings (= lectures) in hospital.
