Message from the Head of the Office

     In the field of nursing management, "nursing management" is not done by someone specific, rather we consider that each nursing staff participates as a member of the organization based on their own management.  And we are educating about the role of organizations, nurses and nursing management.

Education （Subjects）

1. Healthcare legislation and regulation

In this course, the student systematically study the laws related to medical care and nursing, especially the laws that support nursing practice and nursing education. The students will also learn the legal responsibilities of nurses and their position in society.

2. Nursing Management

"Nursing management" is not just for executives, but all nurses should participate as members of the organization. The students will learn about the role of nurses and nursing management from a macro perspective as a member of an organization and a micro perspective as a nurse. In addition, through the historical transition of nursing, we will learn about nursing and nurses and their issues.

Students Research Interests

  • The actual situation of the work of the nursing manager
  • Changes in the perception of incidents by nursing students in clinical training
  • Reasons for new nurses to continue while thinking of quitting
