About Us

In 1967, the College of Nursing was created in accordance with the UNP Board Resolution No. 109 S. 1967 in collaboration with Gabriela Silang General Hospital. In the following year, it started to offer a five-year program leading to the degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) with Liberal Arts as its pre-nursing course. There were a total number of 10 pioneer students under the administration of the first Dean, Ms. Florencia Pagador. Five years after, the 10 pioneer batch graduated with a 100% passing mark in the 1972 Nurses’ Board Examination (NBE)

"The values of UNPians are embedded in my DNA as an alumnus of the University of Northern Philippines. Along with quality education and valuable experience, UNP helped me break barriers in the United Arab Emirates to my journey in nursing leadership as a Filipino, a Bigueño, and a proud UNPian advocating for excellence in professional nursing practice. Academic freedom and giving students the opportunities they truly deserve are the things I sincerely appreciate in the College of Nursing. I encourage every graduate of the University to seize these opportunities to explore their potential to succeed in their professional endeavors."

"I am a proud and grateful graduate of the University of Northern Philippines (BSN Class of 1996 and first batch in the Master of Arts in Teaching Nursing, Class of 1998). I also served as a faculty member from 1998-2004. During my time at UNP, the curriculum was balanced, relevant, and validated through a rigorous higher education accreditation process. My rich experiences as a student spanned from receiving high-quality didactic classroom and clinical education to rewarding immersion in the community. A clear strength that I saw and one that I can attest to up to this day was the education I received focused on conducting research studies. Every student who finishes the BSN program sees the entire research process. Since graduating from my BSN and master’s programs at UNP, I had the opportunity to work and obtain further education in some of the most prestigious institutions in the world. I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the Johns Hopkins University. Most recently, I was appointed as a lecturer for the DNP program at Yale School of Nursing. My full-time role is with New York-Presbyterian, a top-ranking academic medical center in the US, affiliated with two Ivy League medical schools (Columbia University & Cornell University). In each of these institutions, I felt fully prepared for the job expectations and the rigor of the academic program. UNP had successfully forged the path for me to succeed in every aspect of my professional advancement."
