With “whole-person care, professional excellence, technological innovation, social engagement, and global vision” as our core values, we have designed a curriculum that is both challenging and practical. Students do not merely master professional healthcare skills; they grow continuously in communication, ethics, the humanities, technology, and health policy. We believe a great nurse cares for others, understands the system, influences society, and knows how to care for themselves too.

Nursing is a science, but it is also an art. Beyond solid medical training, we encourage students to develop self-care and cultural refinement: learning to find balance amid a busy, demanding life, and living out the spirit of “to love others, first learn to love yourself.” We also encourage students to be active change-makers: to understand public health and health policy, join the conversation, and become nurses whose voices carry influence. In an era when AI, smart healthcare, and digital technology are reshaping what care looks like, we want our students to not only keep up but also go far. They will learn to use innovative tools, blending technology with humanity to build a smarter, more compassionate healthcare model.

As a comprehensive university with deep roots in the humanities and social care, NSYSU gives our Department an ideal environment for cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation. Drawing on campus resources in public affairs, social sciences, information engineering, management, and the humanities, we are building a nursing academic community with global vision, humanistic care, and a commitment to local practice.

Founding this Department is a beginning and a promise. We look forward to this young Department nurturing, on a solid foundation, generation after generation of future nursing leaders, who are equipped with professional knowledge, a passion for care, policy awareness, and personal integrity, walking alongside Taiwan and the world in facing global health challenges.

We invite you to join us on this journey to build a new era of nursing.

With warm wishes for your health and peace,

Chair, Department of Nursing
