working in a hospital in japan help?
Im studying my second year of japanese and i start nursing next fall. nursing takes 3 and a half to 4 years. in my second year japanese we're going over informals (conversations with friends) and stuff like that. anyways i'll be taking japanese the same 4 years i'll be in nursing so once i get my bachelors in japanese what would my chances be in getting a job in japan? should i go to small places like shodoshima or fukuoka so word would spread fast that im looking for a job in nursing? i know i have to take a seperate japanese standarized test but if im looking for a job in japan how do i go about looking for one? i'm part japanese but my dad never taught me anything about japan (not even language: even though he speaks fluently). So i need help on how the process of getting a job in japan works. its nursing or i change my course and become an english teacher in japan. but i really love nursing. teaching english is awsome too (my big brother does that in kyushuu), but i want to do nursings. so what websites do i search? becuase i cant find any good websites. usually when i search i find all these websites saying, "sign up with philippine nursing program to work in japan" and just most of the searches are for the philipines. but i dont live there. and i doubt that i can apply since i'm barely filipino.

>anyways i'll be taking japanese the same 4 years i'll be in nursing so once i get my bachelors in japanese what would my chances be in getting a job in japan? You can't work in Japan as a nurse without Japanese nurse license. And I think it will take another 3-4 years to get it because Japanese nurses attend a nursing school around 3 years. So you need to think how to get license first. >but if im looking for a job in japan how do i go about looking for one? There are many job websites for nurses like the below. https://kangonavi.jp/ >should i go to small places like shodoshima or fukuoka so word would spread fast that im looking for a job in nursing? There are fewer jobs in a small island. It's not a good idea.

First of all, you should know some information on Basic Nursing Education in Japan to give you an idea what are the requirements to get employed as nurse in Japan. There are several courses to be qualified as a registered nurse in Japan. The basic route would be to complete senior high school and study at a nursing university (4-year bachelor degree course), junior nursing college (3-year course) or nursing school (3-year course) before taking the national examination. A student who graduates from a nursing university is entitled to take the national examination for registered nurse, public health nurse or midwife (available only at the university which offers midwifery coureses). Nursing universities also offer a wide range of general education courses to allow broad areas of study. If you would like to work as nurse in Japan, you are required to obtain a qualification as a nurse under Japanese law. In order to obtain Japanese qualification as a nurse, you are needed to take the national examination for "Kangoshi(nurse)" given by Japanese and pass the examination. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is governing agency of national examination in Japan. Under the current immigration law of Japan, aliens who passed the nursing board exam in Japan can remain in the country up to 7 years to undergo OJT. Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) would allow 400 nurses and 600 caregivers to work in Japan for the next 2 years. Please also note that unlike the “entertainer visa†to Japan, JPEPA does not allow recruitment agencies to send Filipino nurses/caregivers If you intend to apply for a nursing job in Japan, you could directly go to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) after the ratification, not any recruitment agencies. If you want to apply for a caregiving job, go to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), not any recruitment agencies.

The Philippines nurse program is a new thing. They will be the first foreign nurses in Japan with a non-Japanese nurse's license. Everyone else need to take the Japanese national license exam. If you don't get your nurse education in Japan and don't have a personal history of going through the Japanese education system, you also have to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 1 as part of the necessary paperwork to apply for the license exam. Considering the nurse shortage in Japan, I don't think you'll have a hard time getting a job if you get that far. Take a look at the exam questions from the past and see if they look like something you can take on. http://www.nurse-senka.com/kokushi_mondai/ Actually, this Nusre Senka website is a pretty good place to look for a nurse career in Japan. It's got job listings, articles, and career tips. Your first task might be to get good enough with Japanese to read this site.
