Summary  In recent years, truancy and bullying have become major issues in school education. As children's problematic behaviors become more complex and their incidence increases, the nurse's office is attracting attention as a "place for the mind," that is, a harbor for junior high school students’ complex and diverse concerns.
 Therefore, this survey focuses on the nurse's room and investigates and analyzes its significance to junior high school students, the actual situation regarding its use, and junior high school students’ concerns.
 The survey was conducted by matching school nurses with junior high school students. A case study survey of school nurses was also conducted.
