They didn't, really. Since the early Middle Ages, Norway had been part of Denmark. Around 1820, Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden, but Norway then immediately declared itself independent and Sweden never had the military power to conquer it by force. Until 1905 the two countries existed as a 'personal union', two basically independently operating countries with one king, the king of Sweden. In 1905 it was decided by the Norwegian Parliament that Norway should have its own king. The king of Sweden declined the offer to have one of his younger sons on the Norwegian throne, and the throne was then offered to one of the younger sons of the king of Denmark.

In Lapland, which spans parts of Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Russia, the currency used depends on the specific country. In Finnish Lapland, the currency is the Euro (€), while in Swedish Lapland, it is the Swedish Krona (SEK). In Norwegian Lapland, the currency is the Norwegian Krone (NOK), and in the Russian part, the Ruble (RUB) is used. Travelers should consider the local currency of the region they are visiting.
The answer to this question should be very surprising. It is called the Scaninavian peninsula. And although it is the largest peninsula in Europe, it does not contain Finland.
Neither, nurses in both country struggle to get a fair wage. You would however earn more in Norway, but everything is more expensive in Norway so that extra wage would be spent on food and rent anyway. If you're stuck between Norway and Sweden, wage should not be the deciding factor.
During the play Claudius mentions numerous times that Norway would likely attack Denmark. Before the play, Denmark had taken much land from Norway and Hamlet Sr (Hamlet's father) killed the Norwegian King (Fortinbras' father).
