      abstract = {Employability skills can be challenging to develop, especially during a pandemic. The researcher aimed to determine the employability skills of nurses, especially the graduates and Registered Nurses, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. This research utilized a quantitative survey to collect data from BSN graduates during the pandemic, using a descriptive-evaluative research design. The researcher implemented a purposive sampling method to procure the data from 50 respondents across the province of Pangasinan. The data were converted from Google Forms to Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to determine the significant relationship between the employability skills of the nurses as perceived by the respondents and their profile variables. This study concludes that the participants are primarily female, single, and aged 18 to 25. Their employability skills indicate that there is a significant relationship between the respondents? profile on civil status and the following variables: interpersonal, resource management system thinking, and technology employability skills. Also, there are significant differences between civil status and interpersonal skills, resource management, and communication skills. Both females and males show no significant difference in employability skills. There is also no significant difference between the respondents' age profiles and employability skills. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends nursing schools to create programs to address employability gaps. Also, they may offer free necessary entry-level skills, as well as seminars in partnership with the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA). Moreover, employers can provide activities considering their profile variables.},
