HISTORY
In 1906, the Union Mission Hospital (now Iloilo Mission Hospital), Iloilo City, Philippines, set the stage for nursing as a profession in this country. Nursing education in the Philippines was pioneered by Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Hall, Presbyterian missionaries. Like other professions, nursing in the Philippines evolved from the apprenticeship system. This system laid the foundation upon which the Iloilo Mission Hospital School of Nursing (then Central Philippine College College of Nursing and now Central Philippine University College of Nursing) was built and after which other schools of nursing were later patterned.
