The Best Nursing Schools in Manila

2010-04-19T02:55:00.000-07:00

This is something to argue about because there are a lot of good nursing schools out there. However, we should really just have to consider the best and looking at previous board exam results and the passing rates of each school, here are the two best nursing schools in Manila. This is not in order and I am merely stating the two best nursing schools.

University of Santo Thomas
This is arguably one of the best there is. They consistently have a high passing rate and their graduates also get into the top 10 all the time. The degree is:

Bachelor of Science in Nursing
College of Nursing (1946)

Program Description:
The BSN Program is a four-year program designed to prepare a professional nurse to render nursing care to individuals, families, and groups in any setting at any stage of the health-illness continuum.

Career Options:

Institutional Or Hospital Nursing
Community Health Nursing
Private Duty Nursing
Industrial Or Occupational Nursing
Military Nursing
Flight Nursing Or Aerospace Nursing
School Nursing
Clinic Nursing
Independent Nursing Practice
Pharmaceutical Representatives
Nursing Education

University of the Philippines - Manila

It would be very difficult to get in UP. Especially because it is the UP campus with the highest cut-off rate in the UPCAT. But it is very prestigious to graduate in UP-Manila and it would not be difficult looking for a job because it is already known worldwide as one of the prime universities in the Philippines. The degree would be:

Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) was one of two degrees first offered in 1948. To keep up with knowledge explosion, technological developments and the ever-changing health picture of the country, curricular revisions are regularly conducted, the latest of which were approved on February 1, 1995.

The four-year BSN degree of the UP College of Nursing is unique in its being competency-based and community-oriented value based. The program aims to prepare beginning professional nurses who shall:

render safe, competent and comprehensive nursing care to individuals, families and groups in promotive, preventive, therapeutic and rehabilitative health situations in the hospital or community;

be skillful in decision-making and in the use of the nursing process and problem-solving approach;

have beginning skills in ward management in the hospital setting, as well as program planning, monitoring and evaluation in a community setting;

have demonstrate skills in interpersonal relationships used in interactions with clients, peers and other members of the health team; and serve as primary health care workers in any setting.

I hope you got something out of this and I hope you find the best nursing school yourself

West Visayas State University
Overview:

The West Visayas State University College of Nursing, then the WVSU School of Nursing, came into existence officially in the first semester of School year 1977-1978 when the Board of Trustees decided to offer the Four-Year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, to provide opportunities to bright but financially handicapped students who have the necessary aptitude for a career in nursing.

Upon the favorable recommendation of the Board of Nursing, formal approval to open the School of Nursing was given on April 21, 1977 by the Professional Regulation Commission. The Ministry of Education and Culture likewise issued a temporary permit, No. 520 s. 1977, which authorized the opening of the First and Second Years of the Four-Year BSN course.

On March 6, 1978, the Board of Nursing favorably recommended the continuance of the BSN program. This was concurred by the Professional Regulation Commission on March 21, 1978. The first batch graduated on April 7, 1980.

In answer to the need for nurses to enhance their professional qualifications, the College started to offer in summer of 2006 the Master of Arts in Nursing with specialization in either Nursing Education or Nursing Administration (as approved by Board of Regents Resolution No. 31 series of 2006).

St. Pauls College Iloilo
Overview:

Impelled by the love of CHRIST, and on the invitation and support of His Eminence Denis Cardinal Dougherty, Bishop of Jaro, The Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres began their apostolic activities in Iloilo by establishing St. Paul’s Hospital in 1911. Their primary aim was to care for the poor and the sick, However, the care of the poor and the sick was not the only apostolic mission of the Sisters of St. Paul; they have also been founded for the purpose of training and educating the young. So it was, with the great desire emboldened by the formative component of their mission, coupled with the pressing need of the hospital for trained competent Catholic nurses, the Sisters under the leadership of Mother Josephine de Jesus opened the School of Nursing in June, 1946. Seventy (70) students were admitted into the first Graduate Nurse Training Program, sixty-eight (68) females and two (2) males, and early sign of the openness and the universality which is a mark of St. Paul. Sr. Marie Louise Limbaga, SPC became Dean from 1946-1947.

The beginnings were difficult, the struggles to grow arduous, but with God’s blessings and through hard work, the school, like the proverbial good seed, progressed and blossomed. Some high points of its developments can be chronicled.

1948 - Recognition of the School of Nursing was granted by the government for the 3-year diploma program leading to the title of Graduate Nurse under the leadership of Sister Marie Madeleine Denoga, SPC.

1950 - A 4-year basic collegiate course in Nursing was opened; this was closed in 1954 due to school’s financial difficulties.

Under the leadership of Sister Carolina Agravante, SPC, the school was upgraded into a College with the opening of the Arts and Science courses, namely Bachelor of Art in Mass Communication, Bachelor of Science in Biology. Nutrition, Psychology and the 2-year Certificate Courses Diploma in Dietetic Technician, and Junior Secretarial. Nursing was offered as a 5-year BSN program. This period also saw the opening of the Social Laboratory Extension Program (SLEP) which served as the avenue for students’ Community Development Outreach Program.

The BSN Program was awarded recognition as Center of Excellence in Nursing Education (COENE) by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for three years: 1996-1999 with some funding for further development in human resources, facilities, library, and other areas.

The BSN Program underwent PAASCU Re-accreditation and the ABMC, the PAASCU Formal Preliminary Survey.

Saint Paul College of Iloilo with the new leadership of Sr. Ma. Felicina Gubuan, SPC was deputized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as COENE, the authority to conduct the Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP) among the nursing professionals.

On June 21, 2004, Sr. Carolina Agravante, SPC was formally installed as the first University President in a solemn but joyful ceremony held in the Marian Hall. In attendance were the academic circle of the city, alumni, members of the University System and the whole Paulinian Family of St. Paul University Iloilo.

School year 2005-2006 marched on with CHED ushered by the awarding of St. Paul University Iloilo College of Nursing as 2nd outstanding College of Nursing in the Philippines out of 350 schools of Nursing. Also included in the top 10 schools were St. Paul University Dumaguete as 7th and St. Paul University Manila as 10th.

The challenge for SPU Iloilo is to establish a contemporary Catholic university culture as she fulfills her mission of making the Father known and loved.
