Hi! I'd like to ask. I'm interested in applying. I have a question though, do we need to study Japanese? like English for IELTS?

you are oblige to study their language specially KANJI because when you arrive their you will undergo their language class only as well as their training....you will learn how to speak, read and write japanese....then at the end of their trainings, they will take the nursing exam which is written i think in japanese....

but i have some inquires in the requirements, i think we need to have 3yrs working experience...i hope they can lower it to 2 yrs...

Hi! As fas as I know, for the 2 batches, only ONE Filipino has passed the Japanese Nurses Licensure Exams.

Check this site for more info:

http://nursingcrib.com/rn-success-stories/the-only-filipino-nurse-to-pass-japans-nursing-exam/

I don't know what happened to those who failed the test but based on the infos I have read, you can take their exam up to 3 times for RNs.

I also want to try this but I lack the experience. Also, being in Japan is a nice experience for me. I love the country's culture and people. :)

okay, but as far as i know Japan's going to translate the test now in english so that means the nursing licensure will be in the english language and not in nihonggo. that's going to be very good news. :)

Oops! Not entirely in English. Only those words that poses technical difficulties for foregin examinees are to be translated. Please read the article in this link: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/201301/japan-nursing-exam-wont-be-in-english-poea

Hopefully this will increase the passing rate of foreign nurses.
