  Maternal Nursing

  Graduate School of Nursing

  Dean, Professor, Faculty of Global Nursing PhD (Nursing) Hiromi Fujii

  Among the nursing professions (public health nurses, midwives, and nurse practitioners), I have mainly worked as a midwife. There is a special beauty in the life that is born that cannot be replaced by anything else. Even if the birth is unwanted, there is a moment of relief and peace at the moment of birth. I feel like praying for the baby to live a happy and healthy life, and I was filled with a deep respect and cherish for the mother. These experiences are the origin of my nursing. Therefore, I hope that those who are planning to study nursing will come to the university looking forward to being moved, healed, and energized by nursing. In particular, the global nursing that our faculty promotes begins with a deep understanding and respect for human diversity, such as nationality, language, sexuality/gender, and culture. All students experience internships overseas, not just in Japan, and interact with patients by discussing with nurses working at local medical institutions. In addition, nursing students from universities with academic exchange agreements visit the campus throughout the year, and international exchange programs are also active. These experiences are fun and will encourage you to continue learning nursing. We hope that they will learn from interacting with diverse people from Japan and abroad to value their individuality as individuals and leave the nest to join an increasingly globalized society.

  Dean Graduate School of Global Nursing Science, Professor, PhD (Health Science) Emiko Suzuki

  I myself have studied abroad when I was young. At that time, there was still a lot of prejudice against Japanese people, and I experienced discriminatory incidents not only on the streets but also in places of study. Unfortunately, even in today's Japan, where globalization is progressing, many prejudices and discrimination still remain. I want students in this department to know that their words and actions can lead to the joy and sorrow of others. I also want them to know that there are many people who feel pain other than discrimination, and to develop the ability to think about "how can I empathize with others and sympathize with their pain?"
  Understanding that "there are things we do not understand" is important in understanding diversity. And in order to have a deeper understanding of and support for diversity, it is necessary to understand the importance of human rights awareness, acquire basic skills as a member of society, and have problem-solving and communication skills. By learning the basics of nursing and repeatedly experiencing exercises and practical training in this faculty, we hope that students will acquire the knowledge, skills, and mental strength to withstand any difficulties they may encounter in the field of nursing. The mission of this faculty is to nurture such "resilient nurses" and to nurture nurses as global human resources who will be the key to the diverse fields of the future.

  My motto has always been "Try doing what you're not good at." Students can do what they're good at on their own, but to do what they're not good at, they need guidance from teachers and support from their families. Doing what you're not good at often opens up new worlds you never imagined, and is often a field in which you can actually make use of your talents. Find something that's "difficult but interesting!"

  There is no right answer or end to nursing. Nursing requires that you continue to learn while meeting various people, thinking about how to provide better care, and tackling your own challenges.

  In recent years, the backgrounds of the people we meet, such as nationality, language, religion, and culture, have become increasingly diverse at an incredible speed.

Let's learn about international nursing together, while cherishing these "roots."

Geriatric Nursing

• 

  Professor /PhD (Nursing) Nobuko Kawai

  "Intercultural understanding," which is necessary for nursing in a globalized society, goes beyond race and nationality and begins with the realization that values may be different from those of the person next to you. For example, elderly people live in a completely different society from us and have different values. Let's think about "nursing that responds to diversity" through dialogue with different others.
