Far Eastern University Institute of Nursing

The Far Eastern University – Institute of Nursing, or simply IN, was an academic institute for nurse education of the Far Eastern University. It was regarded as one of the top-performing nursing schools in the Philippines in terms of Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination performance and employment in various nursing settings.

The Institute of Nursing's Virtual Integrated Nursing Education Simulation Laboratory was the first nursing virtual laboratory in the Philippines and the second in Asia.

Brief history

In 1955, three years after the establishment of the Institute of Medicine, it started as the School of Nursing. In its initial run, it only offered a non-degree Graduate of Nursing diploma. Started with a low population of enrollees, the School of Nursing has faced many challenges but worked its way up by continually enhancing its curriculum, re-calibrating its faculty, and establishing linkages with distinguished institutions. It eventually elevated as the Institute of Nursing in 1959.
In 1961, IN began offering the baccalaureate program leading to Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
In 2000, under the Institute of Graduate Studies, the degree of Master of Arts in Nursing was offered, then was later moved under IN.
In 2022, the institute became defunct as it was reformed into the Institute of Health Sciences and Nursing.
