Abstract
The sudden academic shift in the nursing education platforms caused by the pandemic piqued the investigator's curiosity in determining the usefulness and effectiveness of online nursing education. This study aimed to determine if the nursing students' academic performance is significantly correlated with their understanding of Nursing Core Competency Standards acquired through online learning. A simple random sampling procedure was used to collect data from Level 2 nursing students of a Higher Education Institution in Region X. The total number of participants in the research was 108. A descriptive-correlational research design was adopted to assess, process, and analyze data. The respondents demonstrated knowledge of the Nursing Core Competency Standards in Client Assessment, Client Care, Safety, and Professionalism through online learning. They scored highest in Client Assessment and Professionalism, second in Client Care, and third in Safety. In academic performance, the majority of students (65.7%) are in the "Satisfactory" range, with 26.9% in "Fair" and only 1.9% in "Outstanding" grades, with no "Excellent" rating. The study found that nursing students' academic performance is not significantly influenced by their understanding of the Nursing Core Competency Standards gained through online learning. The results indicate that the participants could acquire knowledge of the Nursing Core Competencies in terms of Client Assessment, Client Care, Safety, and Professionalism through online learning. The findings show that factors other than the instructor and the educational institution have a big influence on students' learning. Notwithstanding the poor academic performance, this simply shows how online education might be improved to satisfy nursing school criteria. It is advised that future studies be conducted on the elements that influence the academic performance of nursing students.
