San Lorenzo Ruiz School of Health Sciences

Description:
The School of Health Sciences, College of Nursing, was conceived by Mrs. Helen Yuchengco Dee, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. She presented the concept to Dr. Reynaldo Vea, president of the MIT. Subsequently, a feasibility study was undertaken the results of which favored the opening of the school.

Since its founding on January 25, 1925, MIT has pioneered in technical education. Thus, many alumni questioned the opening of a School of Health Sciences, specifically the incorporation of nursing as a course in the academic programs.

As an integral part of Mapúa Institute of Technology (MIT), the School of Health Sciences shares the Institute’s mission and vision. Specifically, it is committed to develop health resources which are socially responsive to human welfare through the implementation of a strong, dynamic, values-oriented, community based curriculum. It shall integrate state of the art technology to achieve academic excellence in an environment conducive to learning and caring.

The College of Nursing believes in the dignity and worth of the individual, his social, spiritual and cultural heritage, and innate capacity to develop holistically, if given the opportunity. Thus, the students shall be encouraged to take advantage of the school’s extensive resources and to reflect and achieve this in their personal life and relationship with clients (individual, family, group, community) across life span irrespective of race, gender, creed, or socio-economic status.

The philosophy of the College of Nursing is anchored on the belief that its major role is to prepare a well-integrated, values-oriented human being and professional nurse; it hopes to achieve this though its balanced general education and values-oriented curriculum and nursing program.

The BSN program shall prepare practitioners of nursing as generalists capable of providing health care to meet the needs of clients, their families and others in institutional and community settings.

The College believes that professional nursing involves care and support of clients that is based on evidence-based practice and well-established knowledge of nursing phenomena. It shall encourage and require its students, faculty and staff to conduct and participate in inter and intra-disciplinary research that are of concern in the delivery of health care in the Philippines.

The College of Nursing, recognizing the valuable and viable role which nurses play in the delivery and management of community health-care systems, shall participate in the development of programs and researches that improve the quality of nursing practice and help achieve optimum health levels of clients and their families.

The College shall endeavour to develop programs that promote MIT’s tradition of excellence in education, research and community service. These programs are the following:

- Teaching and Curriculum Development
- Continuing Education ( Human Resource Capability Building)
- Organizational Development
- Community Service
- To realize Research and Creative Writing
