Educational Philosophy
We aim to offer an education based on high-minded humanity and a broad outlook, which will provide our students with the knowledge and skills needed to answer all the nursing care needs of people, to improve their lives from the beginning to the very end. We also aim to endow our students with the comprehensive skills required in nursing practice so that they can operate over a broad spectrum of society to improve people’s health, medical care, and welfare. Furthermore, we endeavor to foster nursing educators and researchers who can make solid contributions to the advancement of nursing research and scholarship.

- In the areas of health and welfare, to foster the ability to respond effectively as nurses to community health care needs, in collaboration with other occupations.
- To promote the ability to practice nursing in a way responsive to local needs, through understanding of the cultural life and history of the community.

Rationale for establishment of the university
The rapidly aging population, changing health care environment, and transformation in the content and scope of nursing activities have led to a requirement for nurses to have, in addition to their specialized knowledge and techniques, pragmatic skills and flexible decision-making abilities to deal with the fast-changing society. Mie Prefectural College of Nursing contributes to the improvement of health care and welfare through its role as a center of research and education by positively promoting nursing education and research which are tailored to its region, training high-quality nursing staff who answer the needs of society in many areas.
