Faculty of NursingDepartment of Nursing

  • The department trains specialists in nursing who have skills and abilities to practice nursing precisely on theory, knowledge and scientific grounds, so that people can live well, safe and sound at any level of health or in any circumstances. In addition to the curriculum in which nurses and public health nurses are trained, the department trains human resources who can be active in various fields by placing teacher training on the curriculum. In nursing, when human relations are established between nurses and those in need of nursing, it will be possible for nurses to give better support to them. Nursing is required not only to make much more of human dignity, and to take reassuring attitude and conduct, but in the act of nursing, to be ready for protection of human rights and use of ethical judgment.
    As the residents' health needs increase and a sense of values presents diversity, the demand for the specialists grows in complexity, it will be necessary for our university to satisfy these regional demands of nursing.
    Consequently, the department trains human resourses who are ready to contribute to health promotion and maintenance in the community through their creative and active studies, in collaboration with a wide range of fields and occupations, as well as through those of health, health care and welfare.
