Extracurricular use of the laboratory to promote self-study by students
Students who enroll in School of Nursing have a clear motivation to become nurses in the future. In order to respond to the eagerness to learn of such highly motivated students, we have established a system that allows them to use the nursing lab outside of class time.
Opening of nursing practice rooms
授業で使用していない時間帯（7:30～20:00）は、基礎看護学実習室および成人看護学実習室を学生の看護技術自習用に開放しています。
学生は学友とディスカッションと練習を重ね、どうすれば看護技術が上達するのか追求します。学生は、実習室の掲示にて、実習室に教員が滞在する担当時間を把握し、計画的に活用することが可能です。学生は講義や演習を通じて常に課題を持って学習をしており、グループで課題に取り組む日、教員の指導を受ける日、と計画的に実習室を活用して自ら解決していくことが可能です。生涯学び続け、考え続けられる力の育成を目指しています。
実習室は病院を模した造りとなっており、ベッド周りの医療設備はもちろん、高性能な医療モデル（人形）や機器も多数保有しています。
実習室での看護技術自習を通じて、主体的に学習環境を管理する力を身につけることも可能となっており、5S活動（整理・整頓・清掃・清潔・躾）が継承されています。日常的に自然と5Sを実践できるようになることは就職してからも生涯の強みになります。
Message from the Faculty
When aiming to become a nurse, it is very important to improve your nursing skills from an early stage.
The main subjects that students study in the laboratory are bed making, body cleaning, vital sign measurement, meal assistance, excretion assistance, transfer and transportation using wheelchairs and stretchers in the first year, and blood sampling, intramuscular injections, and urethral catheter insertion in the second year. When students go out for clinical training, they improve their practical skills with fellow students and medical models (dolls) so that they can perform safe and comfortable nursing techniques that are appropriate for the people they are caring for. Our university has a wide variety of medical models that students can use freely, making it a great environment to hone their skills. We have devised a way to practice as if they were in a clinical training, using tools and equipment used in actual medical settings.
When I teach students, I always keep in mind the importance of linking "knowledge" with "practice." It is difficult to embody knowledge learned in a classroom, so I first check the students' level of knowledge, ask questions, and advise them to think for themselves, take action, and then link it to appropriate practice.
The faculty of Nursing are very enthusiastic about education. By using this practical room, students can imagine the people they will be caring for and practice nursing techniques creatively and with evidence. I, including myself, sometimes help students with their practice so that each student can get closer to their ideal goals, and we strive to improve their nursing skills.
