What is it about?
This study compares nursing education in Indonesia and Japan, particularly the Diploma 3 nursing program. While there are similarities, there are also differences in the focus of curriculums and the qualification process. Japanese nursing education emphasizes gerontology and chronic disease nursing, and nurses must pass a national board examination. In contrast, Indonesian nurses do not have a national board examination, and their education focuses on communicable disease and surgery nursing. Understanding these differences is important for those seeking nursing qualifications in both countries.
