We cultivate nursing skills to form a new kind of nursing that places the promotion of people's well-being in their daily lives as its first priority, and to preserve people's dignity.

　In Japan, the birthrate has declined, and the aging population has growing because the average life expectancy has increased dramatically due to improvements in healthcare, enhancement of health, sanitation and welfare. Public health awareness has improved and the way of thinking about medical care is changing.

　With the progression of this super-aged society, medical care and nursing are entering an era of change. This is apparent by the increasing number of elderly people with dementia and other diseases and disabilities requiring nursing care and support. Nursing professionals are today called on to not only have expert knowledge and skills of advanced medical treatment, thus allowing them to provide appropriate care, but also to support patients in decision-making regarding their life and health goals. When engaging in nursing, the person receiving care must be comprehensively treated as an individual, regardless of their health condition.

　Fukuoka Nursing College aims to maintain, promote, and restore health by incorporating "oral medicine", which is still not popular in Japan, into nursing science. We provide holistic nursing education and train students with practical experience that can be utilized in the medical team to help patients live as close to a normal life as possible. And we place the highest priority on wellbeing, which is our educational philosophy of nursing.
