Voice of students

You can systematically learn things that cannot be learned in nursing care settings.

I'm currently working in a nursing care setting, but I don't have any qualifications yet, so I enrolled in the school with the intention of studying to become a more useful nursing care worker.
I think it was good because I was able to acquire basic knowledge and systematically learn things that I would not be able to learn in a nursing care setting.

From now on, I want to help people in need, just like my grandmother and my family were helped.

My grandmother became unwell and was admitted to a nursing home. Thanks to the care staff in charge, the family was able to spend their time with peace of mind and were grateful.
Around that time, I first learned that there was a shortage of nursing care workers, so I decided to pursue a career in nursing.
