ABSTRACT
This study employed the research methods of descriptive evaluative surveys. Quantitative research design was used and involved survey questionnaires to determine the preparedness, scholastic challenges, and coping mechanisms of the respondents. This study uses a descriptive design, as Calmorin and Calmorin (2013) define it as a method that focuses on examining present scenarios to establish new perspectives. this design requires. the researchers will implement this study at the Virgen Milagrosa University Foundation, San Carlos City, Pangasinan, Philippines, focusing on the Level Three Nursing Students enrolled in the College of Nursing as the respondents. Respondents strongly agree on the factors that influence their preparedness in relation to their limited clinical duty in the midst of the pandemic. Thus, they may provide the guidelines regarding the limited clinical duty protocols as well as undertake limited face-to-face laboratory classes to practice and enhance the fundamental skills of the nursing students. Additionally, they can help the students with their mental situations through a small group lecture that tackles the potential pressures or stressors during their duty and how to deal with them.
