The History

Wesleyan University-Philippines is aware of the ever-increasing problems of

inadequate delivery of healthcare services in the country, problems aggravated by
lack of manpower to do the job and the continued exodus of trained personnel
abroad which resulted in the brain drain of nurses.
Cognizant of this institution, the college embarked on a very relevant project of
helping develop communities. Through the leadership of its president, Dr. Gloria D.
Lacson, who was herself a nurse and the former Dean of PCU Mary Johnston
College of Nursing, the university initiated the opening of College of Nursing to
address the inadequacy in this discipline. The college envisioned to develop nurses
who would cater to the needs of the population to be community-oriented and
effective participants to national development.
By virtue of a permit granted by the Bureau of Private Education in August 31, 1973,
the College of Nursing of then, Philippine Wesleyan College came into being Mrs.
Violeta I. Veneracion as its first dean with initial enrollment of 46 students from all
over the province.
The College of Nursing is an integral part of the University and functions according
to the philosophy and purposes of the institution. Its graduated are granted the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and are eligible for admission to the
Nurse Licensure Examination.
In the 1970s, the College of Nursing was located at Del Pilar Building, del Pilar
Street, Cabanatuan City. But when its population expanded, it was moved to the
Cushman Campus, a site more suitable for learning with its verdant atmosphere.
Today, the College of Nursing and its studentry enjoy the wholesome ambiance of
camaraderie with students from other colleges.
Wesleyan University-Philippines College of Nursing is known for its quality education
as reflected by its passing rates in the board examination, percentage of passing,
and the inclusion of some of its graduates in the top twenty. The college was
acclaimed as one of the better schools outside Metro Manila.
The quality of instruction can be attributed to the qualifications of its administration
and faculty. Today, the college is currently undergoing the process of continual
advancement of its curricular offerings/programs/services as it attained the Level III
accreditation. It continuously develops its faculty members through seminars,
trainings, case presentation, graduate studies and various linkages. All of the
faculty members of the College of Nursing are holders of Masters Degree and some
are already on the verge of finishing their Doctorate Degrees.
The college has also merged with the College of Allied Medical Sciences in order to
keep up with the global health trends and meet the increasing demands for
healthcare providers such as Medical Technologists, Physical Therapists, Radiologic
Technologists, Pharmacy, and Midwifery. Upon the completion of the preparatory
course, graduates of these courses are equipped with appropriate skills to function
as healthcare providers either in the hospital or community setting.
Truly, the College of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences is at par as a higher
Educational Institution north of Manila. It continually strives to advance its program
offerings as it prepared for the global community. CONAMS is dedicated to deliver

quality, responsive and excellent education to live to its call Building People,
Making a Difference in the healthcare profession.
