The nurse respondents were young adults, married, Bachelor’s degree holder, staff nurses, had been in the service for more than 5 years, had undergone few numbers of trainings, and earn an income of below P20,000 a month. The nurses were all competent in the 11 core competencies however the highest in their competency level is along legal responsibility, ethico-moral responsibility, and collaboration and teamwork and lowest on health education and quality improvement. Significant differences were noted along safe and quality nursing practice, quality improvement, record management, communication, and collaboration and teamwork.
