The Far Eastern University Institute of Nursing is one of the top performing nursing schools in the Philippines in terms of Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination performance and employment into various nursing settings. It currently offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree that qualifies the graduate to take the Philippine Board Licensure Examination. Its Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program is one of the best Master's program in the Philippines and in Asia. Strict selection and retention policies on students, technological investment, and master's prepared faculty, the FEU-IN is one of the current driving force both in nursing practice and education in the Philippines. FEU-IN is also dubbed as the Philippine's most technologically equipped institute of nursing in the country because of its Virtual Integrated Nursing Education Simulation (VINES) Laboratory; the first nursing virtual laboratory in the Philippines, second in Asia.
History of the Institute of Nursing
The Institute of Nursing in 1955. Initially it offered a three-year diploma program leading to a non-degree Graduate in Nursing (GN), with Teofista G. Villarica as its first principal.
By second semester a two year Advance professional Program (supplemental program) was offered, a post-basic program designed to provide graduates of the GN program opportunities to broaden their knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the profession. Lucrecia Llanera was the first directress of the new program. Most of the enrolees were nurses holding important positions in different health agencies and schools of nursing,
In 1960, Felicidad D. Elegado was appointed principal of both programs. About this time, the School of Nursing was elevated to the status of an Institute with Elegado as first dean. To upgrade the curriculum, the three-year course was converted to a five-year baccalaureate program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
Upon the retirement of Dean Egelado in 1978, the then Institute secretary, Lydia A. Palaypay, assumed deanship. The five-year baccalaureate program was converted to the revised four-year BSN curriculum. Under her administration, the nursing curriculum became more competency-based and community health-centered, closely attuned to the needs of contemporary Philippine society. The reoriented curriculum is believed to be responsible for the Institution's near perfect passing rate of its graduates in yearly licensure examination.
Upon the appointment of Dean Palaypay as the vice president for Academic Affairs in 1994, Prof. Norma M. Dumadag took over as dean of the Institute. Under her stewardship, the Institute has attained Level II PAASCU standards of CMO No. 27 series of 1998, the BSN curriculum was reconfigured effective SY 1998-1999, which required the student to undergo two years of Associate in Health Science Education (AHSE).
Because of the consistent and sterling performance of nursing graduates in the licensure exams over the years and after complying with the CHED's requirements on Graduate Education, the Institute of Graduate Studies was certified to offer a master's degree in Nursing effective SY 2002-2003.
Graduates of the Institute of Nursing occupy key positions in different health institutions in the country such as the UP PGH, St Luke's Medical Center, Makati Medical Center, National Kidney Center, and Philippine heart Center; as well as abroad (such as in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Middle East).
The FEU-IN is the pioneer in virtual nursing laboratory in the Philippines through its Virtual Integrated Nursing Education Simulation (VINES) Laboratory established in December 2006 under the Deanship of Dean Borromeo and with Mr. Cyrill S. Consuelo, as its first VINES Coordinator.

FEU-IN Virtual Integrated Nursing Education Simulation Laboratory (VINES)
The Primus Interpares or first among equals in the Philippines to have a real nursing virtual lab uniquely designed as a simulated hospital proudly carries the "Gold Standard" the yardstick by which all other nursing skills laboratories are measured. The hospital set-up closely approximates the standards of the Joint Commission, the leading health care accrediting body in the USA, and other international hospital and infection standards in terms of bed-to-sink ratios, hospital door widths, functionality and work and patient flow. In addition, Austco, the leader in quality nurse call systems, has partnered with Far Eastern University to house the only advanced, cutting-edge nurse call system in the Philippines. With the Nurse Call System, students will learn to respond to patient calls within two minutes of the call, enhancing the student's customer service and interpersonal or relational skills.
