Message from the President
Japanese Red Cross Kyushu International College of Nursing was born in 2001 as the fourth nursing college that School corporation Japanese Red Cross Academy establishes.
Under the humanitarian philosophy of the Red Cross, as a nursing specialist who protects human life, health and dignity, this college is developing human resources who are rich in culture and humanity and who can play an active role internationally.
A variety of multi-layered humanitarian challenges are piled up such as Global disasters, large-scale infectious diseases, conflicts, wars, persecution, and the resulting poverty and abuse etc. Listen to the unvoiced voice of those who are suffering or sad, we have produced human resources who strive to act to protect the lives and dignity of the person under any circumstances. We have also produced many excellent leaders who contribute to the development of nursing practice.
Under what circumstances that the epidemic of new corona virus infections is spreading worldwide, it can be said that the mission of this college, which was established based on the humanitarian philosophy of the Red Cross, is extremely large. Inheriting the history and tradition of the Red Cross, Japanese Red Cross Kyushu International College of Nursing aims to train nurses who have the ability to provide nursing to the people of Japan and the world to protect the lives and dignity of each person under any circumstances, and overcome this global crisis and contribute to the development of nursing practice with an eye on the future.
The invisible enemy of a virus can lead to life-threatening infections, unknowingly exploding infections, medical collapse and social turmoil. By steadily accumulating each subject through a curriculum based on the humanitarian philosophy, we will cultivate a solid ability to practice nursing for anyone, anytime, anywhere, in any situation. As one of them, we will develop the ability to think calmly and scientifically and make decisions. Based on data and the latest knowledge, it is the ability to make appropriate judgments and actions as a nursing specialist to protect human life and livelihood. In addition, we value the values and feelings of people living in diverse environments and cultures, and develop the ability to practice nursing independently and creatively. We hope that the learning at our college will give people all over the world who are facing an unprecedented crisis the power and courage to contribute through nursing.
The crisis facing the world cannot be overcome by one person. Feeling connected can give them the courage and power to move forward in the face of uncertain and rapid changes. We will continue to be subject to various restrictions, but I would like students to increase the resilience we have while feeling that our friends, family, and the people who gather at this school are warm and supportive companions.
