AA/AS in Nursing

The nursing department at Iida Junior College aims to produce nurses with a rich sense of humanity who contribute to health, medical care and welfare, guided by a Buddhist outlook. Graduates are eligible to sit the national nursing examination and to apply to midwife and public health nurse schools or school nurse training courses. Classes use group work, and simulator-based learning recreates realistic patient situations before clinical placements, where students care for assigned patients. In the first and second years, an adviser system assigns about five students to each teacher, in addition to a class adviser. Placements are carried out with local health, medical and welfare facilities. Students who want to continue to public health nursing or midwifery can take advantage of the college's own advanced courses through special entry routes.
