Discover the World of Nursing at 'Nasu Mira'

A free, hands-on event called 'Nasu Mira' is set to take place on November 9, 2025, at the Kitakiyu District Hall in Tokyo. Organized by the Nasu Festival Executive Committee—comprised of a dedicated team from Mine Healthcare Co., Ltd—the event aims to introduce middle and high school students, along with their parents and teachers, to the exciting field of nursing.

What is 'Nasu Mira'?

'Nasu Mira,' short for Nurse Future Festival, is specifically tailored for students who are interested in the medical and nursing profession, as well as those aspiring to become nurses. Participants can immerse themselves in a variety of engaging experiences, including vital sign measurements, blood collection, intravenous therapy, and simulated experiences of caring for pregnant women and the elderly. In addition, there will be educational booths for consultations with nursing universities and colleges, along with career discussions featuring active nurses and nursing students. This setup is designed to help participants visualize their educational and career paths in nursing clearly.

Unique Aspects of 'Nasu Mira'

Unlike traditional open campus events, 'Nasu Mira' boasts several distinctive features:

• - Real-life Experiences: Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in realistic nursing scenarios guided by professional nurses, offering insights into what being a nurse truly entails.

• - School Comparison: With multiple participating schools, attendees can compare educational options and gain an understanding of each institution’s unique characteristics through on-the-spot consultations.

• - Neutral Information: The event provides unbiased knowledge about nursing careers and academic pathways, avoiding any undue pressure from specific healthcare organizations. This empowers participants to consider diverse perspectives and make informed decisions about their future careers.

By participating in 'Nasu Mira,' students can discover the practical realities of nursing rather than relying solely on external pressures such as financial stability or parental expectations. This experience fosters the ability to choose a career path based on personal interests and desires, ultimately reducing the likelihood of disillusionment after graduation or employment.

Understanding the Background

Currently, around 80% of working nurses express a desire to leave the profession. Simultaneously, due to the aging population, the demand for nursing personnel is mounting. However, post-2019, the number of applicants for nursing universities and technical colleges has been declining, leading to an impending human resource shortage in this field.

'Nasu Mira' aims to change this reality by providing a platform where students can engage with the real allure and challenges of nursing prior to making educational choices. It seeks to connect educational institutions, the profession, and society, placing itself as a hub in nurturing future nursing talents.

Looking Ahead

By facilitating conversations and connections between students interested in nursing and educational institutions alongside working professionals, 'Nasu Mira' aspires to contribute toward resolving the future nursing workforce shortage.

Support and Donations

'Nasu Mira' is committed to providing this event free of charge. Thus, the organizers welcome sponsorships and donations from individuals, organizations, and companies that resonate with the mission of this event. Contributions will be utilized to cover operational costs, volunteer expenses, and prizes for attendees.
