Nursing
HomepageIntroduction
The Department of Nursing was established in 1993 to prepare students to become professional nurses in various healthcare institutes with clinical skills in disease prevention, recovery and rehabilitation from illness and promoting the health of individuals, families, groups and communities. As of February 2005, it has generated about 400 graduates who are actively working in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi areas fulfilling their roles as educators and practitioners. In 1999, the Masters’ program in Nursing was opened at the Inha University Graduate School. In addition, in 2005, the Geriatric and Gerontological Nursing and in 2006, the Home care Nursing programs were established as an effort to educate students in Nurse Specialist Programs. Furthermore, targeting community residents, the Alcohol and Drug Counseling Center by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Namgu Caring Center for Dementia, Incheon (Dolbom House and Hakik Dolbom House) operate in conjunction with the nursing program as projects to apply social service and nursing theories and conduct research.
