? Foster nursing professionals with high vocational awareness as a nurse and broad perspective
?
In addition to small-group lectures that provide detailed guidance, students independently learn through various learning forms such as group work, exercises, inspections, and practical training, and foster a high level of vocational awareness as a nurse. In addition, they actively study areas that are currently attracting attention in the field of nursing, and acquire a broad perspective and expertise to meet the new demands of the times.
Department of Nursing Close-Up
Life Design Seminar I All first-year students learn how to study at university (such as literature search and report writing) which is essential for a meaningful university life. They also acquire the mindset and attitude that will be the basis for ethical judgment, and acquire the foundation for learning the knowledge, skills, and attitude required of nurses. Since we cater to individual needs, students can acquire the necessary skills at their own pace and challenge themselves to learn more advanced studies.
カリキュラム
In 1st year students will study general education subjects alongside students from other departments while advancing their fundamental learning that forms the foundation of nursing. They will begin studying specialized subjects in 1st year, and in their second and 3rd year, they will pursue deeper specialized fields while engaging in full-scale clinical training to enhance their practical nursing skills. In 4th year, while continuing their training, they will integrate the nursing science they have learned up to that point and study based on their career plans.
Medical Communication Theory I/II Nurses require specialized communication skills when providing care to patients and their families. Students will learn basic communication knowledge and techniques based on academic and cultural backgrounds, and deepen their thinking through their own experiences and examples. Through group work, we aim to express ourselves and discover issues in our own communication. Next, we will use assertions and reflections to understand the characteristics of diverse communication in nursing settings. Through communication, you will learn about yourself and others and acquire skills to build better interpersonal relationships.
Specialized Fields
Daily life assistance technology People casually carry out their daily lives such as eating, excreting, sleeping, and bathing. However, people who needs nursing have health problems and are living with problems in their daily lives. In this lecture, students consider and practice what is daily life, what are the obstacles to daily life, and what kind of assistance is needed while valuing the will of those who cannot do daily life on their own and the dignity of individuals, and acquire the ability. Nursing is a science of practice. Students understand the scientific basis in the lecture and learn it through exercises with model dolls and classmates. It is also an exercise to think in the role of a patient, thinking from the patient's point of view, which is important for learning skills as a nurse. They think about the patient's thoughts and acquire the basic knowledge and ability to help them lead their daily lives.
Basic nursing practice We motivate students to learn nursing by observing and experiencing the actual nursing activities at an early stage where medical care and nursing are provided. This training is conducted in the first half of the 1st grade and consists of on-campus orientation, hospital training, and on-campus summarization. At the hospital, clinical lectures, outline explanations and inspection of hospital facilities, equipment and each department are given. And students learn what the hospital like is to provide with medical care and nursing, and what types of professions are involved in medical and nursing. Students act with nurses, observe and experience the flow of the day in the ward and nursing for patients, and learn the grounds and meanings. On the final day of the training, they summarize and present each lesson in the group. Through interacting with hospitalized patients and observing nursing, they experience the difficulty and joy of nursing. Nurses learn a lot about the importance of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, consideration for patients, and responsibility for behavior, which leads to further learning motivation for nursing.
Midwife course
Practical Midwifery III In order to respond to the coming ultra-low birthrate and aging society, students will be selected for the midwife course in the second semester 2nd year. In this class, students will learn the basic techniques of ultrasound operation, childbirth assistance, and suturing minor perineal lacerations based on midwifery diagnosis, a core component of midwifery, in order to acquire a wide range of advanced knowledge and skills related to midwifery. In addition, in the "Normal Childbirth Assistance Methods" course, students will practice assisting in a variety of childbirth positions and learn a wide range of methods for supporting childbirth. Furthermore, students will acquire basic knowledge and skills, including qualifications in neonatal asphyxia resuscitation.
Public health teacher course
Health crisis management theory Public health centers are specialized, technical, and wide-area bases for local health, and play a central role in health crisis management in the community. Municipal public health nurses also play an active role during large-scale disasters such as earthquakes and floods. Our university holds a selection exam for the public health nurse course in the second 2nd year. In the health crisis management course, students learn in classrooms about "the work related to the prevention of the occurrence, spread, and treatment of health damage in the event of a situation that threatens the lives and health safety of the people," and then in practical training at each public health center and municipality, they deepen their learning based on actual events that have occurred.
On-site training
As the aging society progresses and medical skills are required more and more, the Department of Nursing focuses on practical training courses from the 1st grade in order to train nurses who acquired advanced nursing skills and communication skills with staff of other occupations.
Practical training / Seminars schedule
During the first and 2nd year practical training, students observe the actual activities of nursing professionals and experience interacting with the patients they care for. In 3rd year, students undergo practical training at medical institutions and local health facilities. They are responsible for actual patients and acquire the skills to be immediately effective in the field of Team Medical Care. In the first 4th year, students undergo integrated practical training as a culmination of their practical training, raising their awareness as nurses.

Grading Criteria
About our GPA System
We have introduced a GPA system as a grade evaluation system. By evaluating the learning outcomes with an objective numerical value called GPA, we clarify the grade evaluation, and it would be useful for the learning guidance of students. In addition, this system generally conforms to the grade evaluation system generally adopted by universities in Europe and the United States.
