The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan has adopted new amendment regulations for Public Health Nurse, Midwife, and Registered Nurse educational institutions. The goal of these new regulations is to improve the skills taught in fundamental nursing education. These advances are particularly important with the high turnover rate of new nursing graduates at hospitals. The Faculty of Nursing at Hokkaido University has been continually focused on improving nursing education programs and upgrading training skills. This year we implemented a new nursing administration practicum as the last compulsory subject for students. For the first time, senior students were placed in charge of two patients under the supervision of an attending nurse. The students learned priority-nursing practices as they pertain to both patients and nursing administration, including corroborating within the nursing team, patient safety, and information management. This practicum was mutually beneficial for the students. The purpose of this report is to introduce the development and details of the practicum and to summarize how this practicum has improved student nursing practices.
