Abstract:
1) In 2004, Shinshu University School of Medicine started a program for third-year medical students to experience nursing services during both the day and night shifts. The program included lectures on nursing sciences before practice and debriefing sessions after practice.2) Most students viewed this program favorably and felt that the night-shift training was particular meaningful. They also had favorable opinions about the nurses who taught them.3) Some practical issues remain to be solved, such as security during the night shift and the possible excessive burden upon nurses.
