The Acceptance of Trainees component of JICA's activities involves accepting into Japan promising trainees from developing countries -i.e., people identified as being responsible for future nation-building- and transferring to them specialist expertise and skills in such diverse fields as government administration, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, mining, energy, public health and medical care, and social welfare.
Amazingly enough, becoming a Japanese nurse does not require you to be a citizen of Japan. That’s the good part. The more challenging part is that you will have to sit for the nursing license exam after attending a Japanese nursing school.
This means that while you can become a nurse in Japan, you will have to master Japanese in your home region or come to Japan for training and mastery.
If you can overcome those obstacles, then you could qualify and be hired as a full-fledged nurse here.
However, under the current regulations, you will only be entitled to work for four years before returning to your native country.
Why not work with me on this idea. My wife is a head nurse with 29 years of experience and a nursing administrator’s license. I can arrange for the general and nurse-specific language training here in Japan for nurses registered in their native land. Contact me at nurseop@successinjapan.com.
