History
The school was established early in 2008 when the management of the Bacolod Our Lady of Mercy Specialty Hospital decided to make further use of their hospital facilities for purposes other than providing medical care. To this end, a college for Nursing was established to begin operating during the 2008-2009 school year. The school initially offered a degree course in Nursing in 2008 - 2011. As a TVET school, it offers a one-year certificate program in Practical Nursing, Health Care Services NC II, a six-month certificate program, and Household Services NC II, a one-month certificate program.
