More and more medical institutions have been focusing on the patient satisfaction in treatment and nursing these days. Our faculty, as well as always providing with the latest knowledge and technology, aims at training nurses who respect the wishes of their patients and give them professional nursing care based on highly-advanced skills and a deep sense of compassion.

Our faculty, established in 1968 when our university was founded, is the fourth oldest nursing faculty in Japan. Around 40 years’ tradition and accumulated academic experience of our faculty have made a great contribution to the development of nursing education in Japan.
Japan is now becoming more and more an aging society with fewer children, and the social needs for skilled nursing care are rapidly increasing. Besides they are becoming more and more complex and diversified in keeping with the advancement of information society. Under such circumstances, nursing education is required to meet more closely the emerging social demands, such as the integration of health care and welfare, safeguarding of personal information, etc.
To meet these demands of people who long for well-being and healthy living and to cope with further developments of medical science and technology, sufficient scientific knowledge and highly-advanced skills of nursing practice are essential. To develop such professional competence, we put the greatest stress on a voluntary and creative attitude toward nursing, scientific problem-solving methods, sound ethical judgment, and an integrated approach to health care and welfare.
