The 61st episode of the NHK morning drama series " Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka, aired on June 22nd, and became a hot topic among viewers when Rin (Asadora ) and Naomi (Uesaka), who had just started working as nurses, were suddenly faced with an impossible task.
Rin, Naomi, Tae (Erika Ikuta), and Tome (Rin Harashima) have just started working as nurses, but despite having just graduated from the training school, the hospital director, Tada (Michitaka Tsutsui), orders them to "work as 'nursing supervisors' from today." Furthermore, they are given the unreasonable task of giving lectures to the nursing students of Teito Medical University Hospital and training them to become full-fledged nurses in one year.
Rin hesitated, saying, "We've only just become nurses, so we're not up to giving lectures..." but Tada retorted, "Well, is there anyone else suitable? You're the only ones who have studied nursing professionally."
As soon as they headed to the classroom, nursing student Hide (Akana Ikeda) saw the four and asked, "Aren't there any teachers specializing in nursing?" Vice Director Watanabe (Kanro Morita) replied, "That's why we have these four teachers here now," to which Hide asked again, "We heard that we could learn the most advanced Western nursing here, so we've been studying English intensely. You're all Japanese and quite young, aren't you? What kind of lectures will you be giving?"
To this, Rin replied, "I will do my best," to which Hide simply said, "Of course, we ask that you do." The other students chuckled. Hide asked in English, "Are the lectures in English or Japanese?" Rin replied, "The lectures will be in Japanese." Then Naomi explained in fluent English, "We are nurses who have studied Nightingale-style nursing. The lectures will be in Japanese, but if the textbooks are in English, then English will be necessary."
Afterward, Naomi grumbled, "So you want me to be a nurse and a nursing teacher at the same time? I'm already busy enough, and now this and that..." However, she also said, "If you look at it, doesn't being in charge mean we can do all sorts of things as we please?"
On social media, comments included: "They're suddenly cracking down on nurses!?", "They just became nurses, and now they're being asked to take on the role of a teacher? That's just too much of a challenge lol", "What kind of impossible game is this?", "They've just become trainee nurses, and now they're expected to supervise junior nurses too? That's impossible...", "They're just dumping all this on new nurses without any curriculum or anything, that's just too much...", "I feel sorry for the students who enrolled with high expectations", and "I wonder what's going to happen."
