Aiming to become a nurse
at Iryo Sosei University

Six Features of
the Faculty of Nursing

• Acquiring practical skills while linking individual fields of nursing

  

  The human mind and body change as they grow. Students at ISU learn nursing, taking into account the human life cycle, while being conscious of the linkage between individual fields of nursing. Students can acquire integrated practical skills that will be useful in actual medical settings after graduation by learning nursing while linking its individual fields.

  liberal arts courses

  

  One of the charms of our university is that students can learn a variety of liberal arts as well as nursing. Students acquire knowledge of ethics and psychology, aiming to become a nurse (a public health nurse) who can be considerate of others’ feelings. In specialized courses, they can also receive classes given by instructors from the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Psychology from perspectives other than those of nurses.
