Abstract: COVID – 19 infection is still widespread. State colleges and universities were gradually opened. This study was designed to assess nursing student’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices about COVID-19. A correlational research design was used in this study. From July 1 to August 31, 2021, a snowball sample of 76 student nurses in North Cotabato were surveyed using an online survey tool with a Cronbach’s alpha results: 0.772 for knowledge, 0.774 for attitude, and 0.898 for practices. Results revealed that majority of the respondents were second year female nursing students ages 21 – 23 who reside in rural areas of north Cotabato with a monthly family income of Php 15,000 and below. Primary source of information was through social media followed by school lectures, Internet/website, and television. They have excellent knowledge and very high attitude and practices on COVID-19. In addition, there was a significant relationship between the respondent’s attitude and practices (p-value= .000) but has no significant relationship between knowledge and practices (p-value= .543). Moreover, there was no significant correlation between the respondent’s socio-demographic profile and practices.
