Far Eastern University (FEU) is the top producer of registered nurses (RNs) among the best performing schools with a total of 566, according to data from the Professional Regulation Commission.
The November 2024 Philippine Nurses Licensure Examination results have positioned FEU as a beacon of excellence in nursing education, boasting an impressive overall performance rating of 99.82%. This achievement highlights the university’s commitment to academic rigor and reaffirms its status as the leading producer of RNs in the country.
“We believe in our students. We have put together all our resources in helping students fulfill their chosen professions and life aspirations,” said Juan Miguel Montinola, FEU President.
Quality and Quantity
The results speak for themselves: the large number of newly minted Tamaraw nurses are now ready to enter the hospital workforce, showing FEU’s commitment to balancing quality with quantity in nursing education. This dual focus is crucial in addressing the growing demands of the healthcare sector in the Philippines and abroad. A total of 29,349 out of 34,534 examinees passed the recent boards.
“I marvel at the impact FEU has on our nation’s healthcare sector and the world,” said Dr. Moira Uy, Dean of the Institute of Nursing. “I am grateful that FEU has enabled the institute to strategize and innovate in the name of quality nursing education, especially given the magnitude of our population.”
Innovative Strategies
In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, FEU has taken proactive and student-centered measures to ensure its nursing students are well-prepared for the challenges ahead. The university has produced more than double the number of passers from the other schools by implementing a series of innovative strategies designed to enhance learning outcomes.
Legacy of Excellence
The success of FEU can be traced back over 60 years to a robust nursing teaching and learning practice that has continually evolved to meet the needs of students and the healthcare industry. The dynamic faculty members play a pivotal role in this journey, guiding and mentoring students as they navigate their educational paths.
“I owe our success to the excellent nursing educational system handed down to us from more than six decades ago, our progressive faculty members, and our persevering students,” Uy added.
Looking Ahead
As FEU celebrates this milestone, the focus remains on empowering future healthcare leaders. The university is committed to preparing nursing graduates who are competent and compassionate, upright, and ready to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
