I believe “education” is the process of the practice of thinking with others. I hope our students will share the attitude of learning together with their classmates, with academic staff, and with books and literature. Since there is always some uncertainty in clinical settings, the trustful relationship between the professionals and the patients is important. In addition to the learned knowledge as the professionals, the humanity as the mature citizen is more important to be the good nursing professionals. So let's study together.
