            <title>The 2009 Graduation Thesis Presentation</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'ＭＳ 明朝'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">The ninth annual Graduation Thesis Research Presentation for seniors was held at our university on Monday, December 14 and Tuesday, December 15, 2009. A total of 89 students made 6 minute Power Point presentations of their research findings followed by a 4 minute period for questions. At the end of their junior year, each student in our university is affiliated with an academic division and appointed a thesis advisor from the faculty to oversee their research project. During their senior year of study, students are required to do research and write a graduation thesis. After choosing a topic of research in consultation with their advisor, students are given a number of texts to read to acquire a general knowledge of the special field. As part of the research process, students are required to study original texts in English and seminars are conducted with oral reports and discussions of these readings in their affiliated division. Finally, students are required to make presentations of their research at the annual graduation thesis presentation where their research is evaluated by the assembled faculty.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="200" border="1"><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" style="width: 275px; height: 188px" height="300" alt="GTP09-1.JPG" width="400" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP09-1.JPG" /></td><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" style="width: 272px; height: 190px" height="307" alt="GTP09-2.JPG" width="409" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP09-2.JPG" /></td></tr><tr><td><span style="font-size: 90%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;Century&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'ＭＳ 明朝'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">The presentations are held in the Auditorium.</span></span></td><td><span style="font-size: 90%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;Century&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'ＭＳ 明朝'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">During a presentation.</span></span></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" style="width: 278px; height: 185px" height="307" alt="GTP09-3.JPG" width="409" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP09-3.JPG" /></td><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" style="width: 272px; height: 188px" height="307" alt="GTP09-4.JPG" width="409" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP09-4.JPG" /></td></tr><tr><td><span style="font-size: 90%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;Century&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'ＭＳ 明朝'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">During a presentation.</span></span></td><td><span style="font-size: 90%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;Century&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'ＭＳ 明朝'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">A question from the audience.</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

            <title>Nurse Practioner Project</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Our university organized the Nurse Practitioner Development Project in 2005. In Japan, there is at present no national license for nurse practitioners. However, we believe that graduate schools of nursing in Japan must train and educate NPs who can work independently of medical doctors and play a role in the primary care of all people because of the current unresolved distribution imbalance of physicians in urban and rural areas.<br /><br />Since its organization, the project group has held several international meetings with the faculty of the Seoul National University College of Nursing, the Korea University College of Nursing, the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, and the Lienhard School of Nursing, exchanging information on NP education in the United States and Korea. In cooperation with these advisors, the project group established an original education program for the development of advanced practice nurses with high levels of expertise, the first such program in Japan. In April, 2007, the Japanese government decided to subsidize the research mission of the NP Development Project, and designated it as a resource to be used for the promotion of globalization in Japanese university education. <br /><br />In 2008, the project group established a course for the training of advanced practice nurses in the fields of pediatrics and geriatrics in the Master's degree program at our university. After graduation, these nurses are expected to practice autonomously as NPs to meet the demands of health promotion and health maintenance in rural communities, where health delivery services will not be well distributed in the future due to the rapid ageing of the Japanese population and an increasing lack of medical doctors.</p>]]></description>

            <title>The 2008 Graduation Thesis Presentation</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>The eighth annual Graduation Thesis Research Presentation for seniors was held at our university on Monday, December 8 and Tuesday, December 9 from 9:10 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon. A total of 78 students made 6 minute Power Point presentations of their research findings followed by a 4 minute period for questions. At the end of their junior year, each student in our university is affiliated with an academic division and appointed a thesis advisor from the faculty to oversee their research project. During their senior year of study, students are required to do research and write a graduation thesis. After choosing a topic of research in consultation with their advisor, students are given a number of texts to read to acquire a general knowledge of the special field. As part of the research process, students are required to study original texts in English and seminars are conducted with oral reports and discussions of these readings in their affiliated division. Finally, students are required to make presentations of their research at the annual graduation thesis presentation where their research is evaluated by the assembled faculty.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="0"><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" height="200" alt="GTP2008_1.jpg" width="300" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP2008_1.jpg" /></td><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" height="200" alt="GTP2008_2.jpg" width="300" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP2008_2.jpg" /></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;The presentations are held in the Auditorium<o:p></o:p></td><td>&nbsp;Seniors waiting to give their presentations</td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" height="200" alt="GTP2008_3.jpg" width="300" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP2008_3.jpg" /></td><td>&nbsp;<img class="mt-image-none" height="200" alt="GTP2008_4.jpg" width="300" src="http://www.oita-nhs.ac.jp/English/up_file/GTP2008_4.jpg" /></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;During a presentation<o:p></o:p></td><td>&nbsp;A question from the audience<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
