Department of Nursing
Acquiring reliable skills to support people and the future of themselves
The Department of Nursing proactively incorporates mission-oriented learning in small groups to educate students into nurses with "the capability to act independently" and "the ability to work as a team." Individual guidance is provided by homeroom professors from immediately after their enrollment, and dedicated support continues until their career path after graduation is decided.
In terms of learning environment, the department offers environments for self-learning, together with laboratories equipped with simulators and multimedia classrooms.
The students have practical training in various prefectural, public and private health institutions and medical institutions, which help students in choosing their career paths.
The department offers syllabus models for students wishing to take national examinations for public health nursing and midwifery, or a Nursing Teacher Type I license.
Students will acquire opportunities to play vital roles in medical care, social services, administrations and school education through their four years of study.
The Department of Nursing's programs are designed to have students acquire the adequate practical nursing skills while also developing communication skills, problem-solving techniques and other basic skills as adults. Students learn liberal arts subjects and nursing basics in their freshman year.
Many nursing-focused subjects are offered from the sophomore year, followed by classes based on registration models comprising Clinical Nursing, Public Health Nursing, Midwifery and School Nursing for the junior year. Interprofessional learning is incorporated throughout the four years, and the nursing students learn with students of other departments to acquire techniques to work on issues as teams.
