Abstract
This study examined the factors affecting the clinical competencies of newly hired nurses in selected hospitals in Quezon City and their relationship with competency levels. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data from 50 newly hired nurses were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. Findings showed that nurses demonstrated a very high level of clinical competence (WM = 4.21), with workplace and organizational factors strongly influencing competency development (WM = 4.41). Confidence, resource availability, adequate staffing, and support from senior nurses were identified as key contributors. A significant positive relationship was found between workplace factors and clinical competency (r = 0.49, p = 0.006), highlighting the importance of structured orientation, mentorship, and continuous learning programs in strengthening nurses’ skills and improving patient care
