Nurses work in a wide range of fields, including hospitals, clinics, and elderly welfare facilities, but did you know that nurses also work in the Self-Defense Forces?
The Self-Defense Forces have several licensed practical nurse training schools across the country and train their own nursing personnel. They serve as ground sergeants in the Ground Self-Defense Force, as chief naval officer in the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and as chief airman in the Air Self-Defense Force.
The Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital and other hospitals that are facilities of the Self-Defense Forces treat the injured and sick, and at the Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital Advanced Nursing College, students receive a salary while receiving specialized training to become Self-Defense Force members involved in nursing work.
However, in addition to nursing education, they must also study photo restoration service training that all SDF personnel undergo as SDF-related subjects, and upon joining the hospital, they must live a regular group life, and their lifestyle is restricted, making it a tough life. It may be tougher than a one-off part-time job .
Once you are successfully certified as a nurse, you will be assigned to work at a Self-Defense Force hospital, etc. In this way, the content of the education you receive is different from that of nurses working in general hospitals, and the work environment is also quite different, so the work of a nurse in the Self-Defense Forces is unique.
In addition to veterinarians, animal hospitals also have animal nurses. Statistics show that more than 80% of animal hospitals have animal nurses.
To become a veterinary nurse, you must complete a 2-3 year course at a vocational school and be certified as a veterinary nurse. Veterinary nurses are not publicly recognized, and the standards vary depending on the organization that certifies them. Once you have successfully become a veterinary nurse, you can perform medical procedures under a doctor.
Recently, the number of veterinary clinics has been increasing in proportion to the increase in households that keep pets such as dogs and cats at home. When we think of a veterinary clinic with a good reputation, we think of skilled veterinarians and well-equipped facilities, but the nurses who work at the veterinary clinic also play an important role.
However, in addition to being a partner to the veterinarian, it is also an important job to care for animals during hospitalization, prepare for surgery, and provide loving care to animals who cannot speak .
It is no exaggeration to say that if the nurses at the hospital respond well when your beloved pet becomes ill or injured, that alone will improve the impression of the veterinary hospital.
