New Zealand is a country roughly the size of the UK or Japan but with much less inhabitants. The lack of congestion doesn’t mean New Zealand’s’ facilities aren’t as advanced as the rest of the Western world and there is a lot of cultural diversity. Famed for its outdoor opportunities – cycling, hiking, kayaking – the friendly and fun-loving New Zealanders are also known for balancing work with recreation; a 2015 survey rated New Zealand second in the world for work-life balance.

Less time commuting means more time spent with family. Registered nurses have many options for working in New Zealand in a variety of settings.
