Providing seamless nursing care to patients who are leading their own lifestyles
When delivering sophisticated medical care, we offer seamless nursing care by recognizing that patients are individuals who lead their own lifestyles, now and in the future. Our nursing team collaborates, acts, and supports each member according to the situation, providing the necessary nursing care to utilize patients' abilities and functions for their recovery.
In response to the growing need for nurses who are skilled in advanced medical care, our Certified Nurse Specialists, who have specialized expertise, Certified Nurses, and nurses trained in specific medical practices who possess specialized knowledge and skills for performing specific medical procedures, provide nursing services in a timely manner. This is important in preventing the deterioration of patients' conditions and promoting their early recovery.
Fostering next-generation medical professionals
As a hospital dedicated to providing highly advanced medical care, we are committed to nurturing nursing professionals who can deliver high-quality nursing by integrating their knowledge and skills to meet patients' diverse needs. The Health Professional Development Center is staffed with six nursing education specialists who offer seminars, e-learning, and on-the-job training in clinical departments to support our nurses' steady professional growth.
We focus on developing nursing administrators who play crucial roles in enhancing the quality of nursing. We provide various learning opportunities for nurses, including enrollment in graduate school, and support systems for obtaining credentials.
Additionally, we contribute to the community by developing next-generation medical professionals. We offer on-site training for nursing students, train nurses in specialized fields, accept non-nursing students for practical training, and dispatch lecturers to nursing training facilities and other hospitals.
Nursing care designed for changing times
Our mission as nursing professionals is to help ensure a healthy life for people in an era when medical care is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and health needs are diversifying and becoming more complex due to our rapidly aging society. As a core hospital providing community medical care, we have established nursing systems capable of swiftly and flexibly responding to natural disasters and new infectious diseases, ensuring stable delivery of medical care.
Additionally, we collaborate with local governments and other medical institutions to help local residents improve their health.
Creating a workplace with career opportunities
We are committed to creating a healthy and safe workplace that allows nurses to continue and advance their careers. Our goal is to foster an environment where each nurse can pursue professional growth and realize their potential through workstyle reform and various career support programs provided by the hospital.
