Thematik

First Day at a New Workplace

The first day in a new department feels like stepping into an unfamiliar place. Rules here, rules there, and of course, countless sideways glances suggesting, "You don't even know this?" These are things they don't teach you at university. And then there's the nagging thought: Am I doing everything right?

Through practical examples and minimal theory, let's explore what can help you navigate the world of healthcare.
