Is Cardiac Care Nurse a regulated route in Japan?

Cardiac Care Nurse is a regulated profession in most countries: you usually register with a national health or nursing council and have your credentials verified before you can practise — a step that is separate from your degree. Confirm the licensing body for Japan early, because it often takes longer than the job search itself.

  3. 3. Build a Japan-ready CV

    In Japan it's the rirekisho (履歴書), paired with a shokumu-keirekisho work-history CV, usually 1-page, photo required, references avoid. The rirekisho is a fixed, government-standardised (JIS) form — creativity in formatting is a disqualifier, not a differentiator. Pay is quoted in the Japanese yen (JPY, ¥).
