Welcome to our website of Fukuoka University Hospital Nursing Department.

With its philosophy of "warm-hearted medical care," Fukuoka University Hospital aims to be trusted and chosen as core hospital in the area, providing seamless medical care to the local community. In line with the philosophy of the Division of Nursing: "To practice patient-centered nursing care with high level of humanity - integrity, responsibility, creativeness," we place great importance on providing safe and reliable nursing care. Patients visit hospitals seeking advanced and cutting-edge medical care. We nurses are committed to developing our human resources through an educational structure that supports each other's growth, so that we can enhance our practical nursing skills to respond to acute medical care, understand the thoughts and wishes of patients, and respond with confidence and responsibility. Nurses are key members of the medical team and provide optimal care for patients. We focus on the individual issues faced by patients and their families, and sometimes act as their advocates. As a hospital providing acute care, we will strive to maintain creativity to flexibly adapt to changes in the times, and in seeking to become a hospital that is needed by the community, provide "community-specific" nursing care by working in collaboration with local medical facilities that are closer to the lives of patients.
