Far Eastern University Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) – School of Nursing
The Far Eastern University – Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation or FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine was born from a vision of Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr.
In October 22, 1955, the FEU Hospital opened its doors as a charitable institution and provided actual hospital training for students in medicine and nursing. Erected on a trapezoidal lot at the northeastern part of the campus in Morayta Street (now Nicanor Reyes Sr. Avenue). Built and eqquiped at a cost of P1.5 million, designed by Architect Felipe Mendoza in collaboration with the Hospital Committee chaired by Lauro Panganiban MD, Nicanor Reyes Jr., Angel Palanca, and Ricardo Alfonso MD who later became the first Hospital Director.
In 1970, the Institute of Medicine, School of Medical Technology, FEU Hospital and the Student Health Service Clinic were converted into a non-stock, non-profit educational foundation known as the FEU Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation.
Through the years, it has contributed some of the finest names in the healthcare field: four Secretaries of Health, seven Philippine Medical Association Presidents, six Presidents of the Philippine College of Surgeons and one President of the World Medical Association. In 1986, the Board of Medical Education, DECS, and the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges gave the Institute the highest level of accreditation, and awarded it as a Center of Excellence in Medical Education.
In December 22, 1996, Dr. Josephine Reyes (NRMF Chairman and former FEU President), presided over the groundbreaking of the new P500 million modern medical school and hospital in West Fairview Quezon City.
In 2001, the new facilities of the Medical Foundation were formally inaugurated which was attended by former President Corazon Aquino as guest of honor.
At present, the hospital operates with 141 pay beds, 99 charity beds, and boasts of state-of-the-art facilities at par with leading tertiary hospitals.

Nurses make up the largest component of the health service delivery performing a vast array of interventions to patients; but because of the shrinking pool of qualified nurses due to overseas employment, the need to have more of them in order to buffer the adverse effects of the exodus becomes a major concern of the nursing service administrators and nursing educators.
In October 2002, the Board of Trustees of the FEU-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation passed a resolution to establish the School of Nursing that will meet the standards of the profession and educational accreditation.
It was on May 5, 2003, when the permit to operate the school was granted by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) for a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
