Our school will train nurses who have the knowledge and skills required as professionals, as well as an excellent international sensibility, while grasping the latest educational methods and social needs.

Learn to open yourself up and interact honestly with a diverse range of people.

As people living in a global society, how can we learn the importance of interacting gently and frankly, given that there are differences in culture, customs, religion, social background, sensitivities, and more in addition to language? First, we need to open ourselves up and think about how to build trusting relationships and create teams with people from different backgrounds.

Academic ability

globalismCultivate

As the first Faculty of Global Nursing in Japan, we want our students to be aware that they can be active nurses in Japan and around the world. As people living in a global society, we cultivate the qualities to utilize their communication skills wherever they want to work.

Supporting a diverse range of peopleDevelop communication skills.

In a society where we understand diversity beyond the differences and boundaries of countries, values, customs, and other cultures, and live together while respecting and accepting differences, "culture" is also an important foundation of medical care. Furthermore, we train "resilient nurses" who have strong mental and physical strength while acquiring specialized skills and basic medical science.

  • English for everyday people, medical professionals
    Become proficient in English.

    Students will learn English conversation that is relevant to everyday life, as well as medical English, and develop the ability to respond while understanding differences in culture and values.

  • Learn living English
    Practical English Program "LEO※」。

    Our department provides an environment where even students who are not good at English can naturally acquire English skills. "LEO" is a communication program to learn usable English. Classes are held every day.

In Professor Yano's class
It changed my outlook on nursing.

I was particularly impressed by Professor Yano's class on home nursing support. I was able to learn about the unique nursing techniques that can be used at home, based on his experience. It was very interesting to learn how nursing can be tailored to the individual, including the various circumstances and financial circumstances of patients undergoing treatment. Through this class, my view of nursing has also changed to "becoming a nurse who can provide care with an emphasis on continuing support." After graduation, I will work as a ward nurse, but I would like to become a nurse who can provide support tailored to the needs of patients by helping them maintain their physical health before they are discharged from the hospital, while also paying attention to their life after discharge.

More wonderful nursing care
I learned.

I think the appeal of clinical training is that you can put what you learn in lectures and exercises to good use. For example, in the international Global Nursing training, you can learn about initiatives that are not available in Japan. By experiencing nursing training both at home and abroad, I was able to better understand the wonderfulness of nursing.
