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-caliberating 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.
