School of Nursing


Nurturing Human Resources Who Can Understand Human Dignity and Help People in Health Preservation, Medical Care and Welfare through Nursing Activities

The School of Nursing was established in 1999 as the 6th school of Nagoya City University. However, the School of Nursing has a long history and tradition; its origin as a teaching institution dates back to 1931.
Nursing is one of the sciences which is deeply concerned with human health. It is a practical science which aims to support human life in consideration of each patientʼs life stage and living environment. Every nurse is required to possess advanced knowledge and a sophisticated sense of response to and specialization in medical care, working as a member of a medical team and promoting peopleʼs interest in health.
Thus the School of Nursing intends to train and nurture medical personnel who can understand human dignity and contribute to health promotion, medical care and welfare through their nursing activities. Compulsory education in all fields of nursing has been provided to the students enrolled before 2011. The public health nursing is currently taught as an elective. From April 2023, we have integrated with Nagoya City Central School of Nursing. The quota for admission will increase from 80 to 120 and hold classes at Aoi School Building as well.
In addition, in 2025, we plan to transition to the School of Medicine and major in Nursing of Health Sciences (tentative name).
