This study aimed to determine the levels of job stress, job satisfaction, and job performance among nurses in Negros Oriental’s public hospitals and their relationships. The respondents of this study were 358 nurses from selected public hospitals in the province. The researcher utilized standardized questionnaires and employed the chi-square test, Spearman’s rank order correlation, and percentage in treating the data. The survey was descriptive and correlational. The findings of the study revealed that the extent of the respondents’ occupational stress was considered high, specifically in terms of (a) workload pressure, (b) dealing with patients and relatives, and (c) confidence and competence in the role. On the other hand, the findings also revealed that only the civil status of the nurses has a significant relationship with their overall job stress, and also have a substantial relationship between the nurses’ assigned area and their level of job satisfaction.
