Nursing and Nursing Student Exchange Community "Harukan" Launches on FANTS, Surpassing 100 Members in Just 5 Days

On March 25, 2026 (Wednesday), "Harukan," an online community managed by Yuka Tokunaga of the educational corporation Kokusai Shigakuen, launched on "FANTS," a business integration platform for creators provided by Stadium Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Tomohito Morikawa).

"Harukan" is an online community where nurses and nursing students can connect across their respective roles to share concerns and experiences while learning from one another. It is designed as a space to provide support for the anxieties and challenges each individual faces, such as clinical training, national examinations, and workplace interpersonal relationships.

This type of exchange space for nurses and nursing students is a novel initiative, and it is currently attracting attention, having gained over 100 participants in just five days since its launch.

Features of "Harukan" "Harukan" is an online community that provides both learning and connection while addressing the specific concerns of nursing students and nurses.

For nursing students, the community offers "Harukan Terrace," which supports learning for clinical training and national examinations. It provides an environment where students can work together and encourage one another during study periods that can often feel isolating. Additionally, because they can easily consult with active nurses, students can form concrete images of their pre-training anxieties and future careers.

For nurses, the community provides "Haru-Can," a space for exchange where they can share daily concerns and thoughts. By connecting across different departments and work styles, members can find enjoyment and a sense of belonging outside of work through meetups and various projects.

This community aims to change the daily lives of nurses and nursing students for the better, not only through learning but also by connecting with peers.

User Feedback Feedback from users who have participated includes the following: - "Thanks to Harukan, I was able to study happily and pass the exam! I will do my best as a first-year nurse starting in April." - "I feel the pressure of having to pass the national exam, but I want to keep studying in a fun way." - "I will do my best to pass the national exam while enjoying my studies!"

Message from the Operating Representative Leveraging my own experience of having fun while preparing for the national exam as a student, as well as my experience as a nurse at a university hospital, I launched the learning salon "Harukan Terrace" for nursing students to provide national exam preparation. I aim for a 100% pass rate so that students who have overcome a grueling student life do not fail the national exam.

Additionally, I founded the nurse community "Haru-Can" because I want to provide wellness support through online consultations and leisure activities to address the mental and physical burdens caused by harsh working environments.
