〔Aims〕The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of a liberal arts education in various nursing colleges.

〔Methods〕 We examined the nursing curricula, the liberal arts curricula, and the “Multilingualism” and “Information Systems” subjects offered by 37 nursing colleges.

〔Results〕Many of these institutions structured their liberal arts curricula in terms of a specialized foundation, and specialization. There was a wide diversity in the ratios of liberal arts, basic specialized subjects, and specialized courses; as well as in the ratios of elective and required liberal arts subjects. Liberal arts subjects were offered at lower grades in many colleges. The number of credits required for graduation in “Multilingualism,” and “Information Systems” were generally low.

〔Conclusions〕Some of the colleges of nursing were more generous in their allocation of liberal arts subjects and considered freedom of choice and sequence, but there were few subjects in English, Multilingualism, and Information Systems, which are basic skills. As Bachelor degree programs are designed to train nurses, it is necessary to enhance the “Multilingual” and “Information Systems” subjects, as these are an important foundation for academic training and individuals able to create new value by utilizing AI are in demand.

〔Aims〕This study clarified how on-site nursing instructors for new graduate nurses went through a transformation process of their nursing practice with teaching experience.

〔Methods〕A semi-structured interview was conducted with 20 on-site nursing instructors. Data were coded and extracted via a qualitative descriptive analysis.

〔Results〕Participants’ average nursing experience was 4.6 years（±1.06）. In total, six main categories were found:“struggling with not being able to teach as well as they would like”, “realizing their own inadequacies”, “exploring teaching means”, “re-learning their nursing knowledge, skills, and attitudes”, “more actively building relationships with others”, and “providing nursing care with confidence”.

〔Conclusions〕The participants of this study developed their attitudes to nursing and practical knowledge and skills and so on by realizing their own inadequacies during the teaching of new graduate nurses. In addition, it is believed that they came to have more evidence for their own judgments and nursing and to give their patients better care, and thus grew as a nurse.
