Some nursing students who take the InternationalNursing Theory course will be faced with the situation where they will have to deal with foreign patients as soonas they start working. It is becoming more necessary for nursing students to explain how Japanese nurses whowork with foreign patients in Japan, rather than nurses who work overseas, should deal with foreign patients. It isimportant for nurses to understand different cultures and respect foreign patients as a way of dealing with them.

I reported on my reflections on the content of the class and my outlook for thefuture.
