First day of work.  My drive in was OK.  Adjusting to sitting on the right side of the car is harder than driving on the left side of the road.  I turn on windshield wipers when I need my turn signal.
NZ is an English speaking country, but EVERYthing is different.
refills are repeats, the problem list is called classifications, allergies are warnings, ROS meant suture removal; not to mention expressions and accents.
Elaine, I'll eventually tell you about the nursing education and QA procedures, etc., but first I'll have to learn their EMR click locations.  Hardest new thing today was that Paps (called cervical smears) are done with the patient on their left side.  Rich needs the computer.  Cheers, Viv
PS  I'll back track to the trip in and our tourist week when we get into our house, but thought I'd mention that we couldn't wait until starting work to learn about kiwi health care.  Rich fell on our hike and fractured his 5th metacarpal.  It was raining, and he stepped aside on a slippery rock to let someone pass.
Dogs are happy to be out of quarantine.  Found a dog club.  May be doing obedience Mon and agility Thurs.
