The study was conducted at the College of Nursing, University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines. Subjects of the study were the nursing graduates of the department from 2014 to 2016. Statistical treatment used were simple percentage, and Pearson r.Findings revealed that the university has delivered a passing percentage of 52.4% in 2014, 90% in 2015, and 85.7% in 2016. These performances are above the yearly national passing percentage. The mock board examination performance shows that majority of the subjects have satisfactory rating in 2014 and 2016. However, satisfactory and fair ratings were observed in 2015. In 2014, there were significant relationships between: NP1 and NLE (moderate); NP2 and NLE (moderate); NP3 and NLE (strong); NP4 and NLE (strong); NP5 and NLE (strong); Mean of NPs and NLE (strong). For 2015 and 2016, there were associations between the variables but not significant.In conclusion, the performance in the mock board examinations have influenced the passing rates of the board examinees for the last three years. This is supported by the strength of relationship between variables, strong in 2014 and moderate in 2015 and 2016.

This study assessed the students’ performance in Psychiatric Nursing. It further described the profile in terms of assessment test, Nursing Care Management 105 (NCM 105) final grade, performance of nursing students in Psychiatric Nursing, and the relationship between the respondents’ profile and performance. The findings of the study served as basis for a proposed action plan.The descriptive-correlational design was used and an adapted questionnaire as instrument for data collection. The respondents were all the 46 level 4 nursing students who previously took and passed the NCM 105 in the second semester of SY 2011-2012 at the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines. Treatment of data include simple percentage and chi-square Test of Independence.The findings showed a majority of the respondents failed in the assessment test of Psychiatric Nursing administered by the review provider despite recently passing the NCM 105 course based on the final grade. On the other hand, their ratings were fair during the Psychiatric Nursing performance assessment. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between the respondents’ profile and performance. In conclusion, seniors in the College of Nursing will improve their academic achievement in Psychiatric Nursing if they are motivated or reinforced with the aid of good models of learned behavior. Consequently, future studies must be conducted on students’ approach to learning and factors that will motivate a student to perform. Recommended citation: Diamante, V. A. M. & Amparado, M. A. P.
