Japanese Nursing Association, Tokyo merkezli sağlık kurumu
The Japanese Nursing Association is a professional organization in Shibuya that brings together licensed nurses, midwives, and nursing staff across Japan. It coordinates with 47 prefectural nursing associations and establishes standards for nursing practices, certification programs, and continuing education in specialized areas.
The association was founded in 1946 to unite licensed nursing professionals and establish uniform standards across the field. Earlier nursing initiatives existed from 1929 onward, which eventually merged into this comprehensive national organization.
The organization carries values rooted in dedication to patient care and professional respect. Its logo features Florence Nightingale's lamp surrounded by flower petals, symbolizing the connection between nursing's past and its present practitioners in Japan.
Visitors can explore the facilities or access online resources to find publications, research materials, and information about certification programs. The organization provides content in both Japanese and English to ensure broad accessibility to its information.
The organization is not structured as a labor union but instead focuses on setting professional standards and developing ethical guidelines for nursing practice. It also operates a library and research center that support professionals in their ongoing education and knowledge development.
