The Yangon Institute of Nursing (also the Institute of Nursing, Yangon; Burmese: သူနာပြု တက္ကသိုလ် (ရန်ကုန်), pronounced [θùnàpjṵ tɛʔkəθò (jàɴɡòuɴ)]) is a university of nursing, located in Lanmadaw Township, Yangon, Myanmar. It is one of three universities in the nation that offers a four-year bachelor's degree program in nursing.[2] The YIN also offers a master's degree program in nursing and diploma programs in dental, EENT, mental health, pediatrics, critical care, and orthopedics.[3]
The institute, which admits only 100 students per year, is one of the more selective universities in the nation. Nursing is one of few professions in Myanmar that provides decent job opportunities—inside or outside the country. The matriculation marks required for admission in 2006 was 380 out 600, slightly below what was required to go to medical school.[1]
