The Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing (ADPCN), the country’s largest and most influential network of nursing schools and leaders, continued its mission of advancing nursing education and practice through research, innovation, and collaboration. Each year, ADPCN hosts its National Convention and Research Congress, a premier event that brings together nurse educators, practitioners, and students to showcase transformative studies shaping the future of healthcare delivery in the Philippines.
On October 5, 2025, at the Tent City of Manila Hotel, our nurse researchers proudly represented the University of San Agustin – College of Nursing, Nutrition and Dietetics (USA CNND) at the prestigious ADPCN Research Congress 2025, held under the theme “Transforming Nursing Education: Advancing Practice, Strengthening Primary Health Care, Enriching Clinical Community Experience.”
Representing USA CNND were four exceptional student researchers from Level 4 – Batch Illustris, whose works exemplified both academic rigor and the Augustinian values of Veritas, Unitas, and Caritas.
Meet Our Presenters:
Ma. Collen S. Berdan
Acceptance of Work Shift on Job Satisfaction and Patient Quality Care Among Staff Nurses in a Public Hospital in Iloilo

Their projects were more than research titles—they represented innovative approaches, dedication, and the Augustinian spirit. These students carried not only their findings but also the hopes and pride of the entire USA CNND community.
To our presenters: you embodied excellence in every step. On stage, you carried the strength of your training, the love of your community, and the prayers of many.
Congratulations to our researchers—your contributions made history at ADPCN 2025!
