For example, there have been many times when students have been stunned or crying in the waiting room. When we talked to the student, he told us that the patient wanted to die. They said they didn't know how to respond, but they couldn't say anything easy.
A moment that was probably almost the first time I came in contact with the death of another person in the living. Instead of giving a perfunctory response to the patient's desire to die, we quietly accept the patient's feelings, and we work hard every day to assess the patient's physical reactions and make small changes in what must be a painful situation.
People who said they wanted to die started to laugh and want to do this and that. I wish caregivers would feel for themselves how much value there is in doing this thing with all their effort. I want both the patients and the people involved to know that life is fun and joyful and unique, not something to be thrown away.
We just set it up. But that little bit of support is often crucial.
We want them to feel that in their practical training.
We are assembling the practical training in such a way that you can feel it.
When we take them seriously, we can naturally see their sparkling and bouncing smiles. That is the training at the Gerontological and Geriatric Nursing Research Unit.

The scope of prior learning is limitless. Let's get rid of any anxiety you may have about the practical training through this pre-study.
Take good care of yourself.
Reflect on the practical training you have already experienced, think carefully about specific ways to improve, and be prepared.
There is no need to worry because the faculty members are doing their best to create an environment in which you can face the patients with all your effort during the practical training.
When we bring gratitude to those around us, things will go well.
