It is composed of theoretical classroom instruction through discussion and  Related Learning Experience. Gaining knowledge and developing abilities in handling  patients with medical and surgical conditions is the primary objective of this course. To  satisfy the purpose of this study, the researcher wanted to determine the challenges  encountered in Medical-Surgical Nursing course by the level III student nurses of  Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, Nabua, Camarines Sur. A quantitative descriptive  correlational method was used. Questionnaires were given to level III student nurses of  Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges using stratified random sampling.    The results of this study showed majority of the respondents are 21 years old,  female, with a family monthly income between ₱10,957–21,914, and predominantly  Roman Catholic.  Findings revealed the challenges encountered of student nurses along  Physical, Psychological, Emotional were interpreted as Encountered while along Spiritual  and Financial were interpreted as Moderately Encountered. This suggests that schools  should introduce peer support groups and mentorship programs to help students cope with  psychological and emotional issues, particularly for the economically disadvantaged. To  provide students with resilience and cope with academic challenges, wellness programs  such as stress management workshops and money skills courses should be provided to  them upon completion of the course. Student Nurses often utilize coping strategies such as  study habits, time management, relaxation techniques, environment and social support,  with significant influences from the challenges. Moreover, results showed that there is a  significant relationship to Physical, Psychological, and emotional challenges according to  Sex, Age, and Monthly family Income.  In response, the researcher proposed a plan to assist  student nurses to conquer the challenges encountered in Medical-Surgical Nursing course  by the level III student nurses of Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, Nabua, Camarines  Sur.  1 aCornelio, Kate Antonette P.,eauthor.1 aIntia, Jean Althea P.,eauthor.1 aOliveros, Abigail F.,eauthor.1 aTorres, Kimberly A.,eauthor.  aDeris, Bevvy Philine M.,eadviser.  aVibares, Lorna N.,echair, panelist.  aIllo, Elaine Frances M.,epanelist.  aAlferez, Katrine N.,epanelist.
