 INTRODUCTION

When the pandemic started, everything changed from work to the education system
to the daily lifestyles of people. Due to the minimum health standards, interactions were
limited, gatherings were almost non-existent and face-to-face classes became online
classes. Face-to-face classes turned into online classes. And the mode of students
complying with requirements also changed. The online class is a mode of education where
students and teachers interact via zoom or Google meet. Teachers or instructors send

tackle the issue or make a move to change the state of affairs. And the other is the emotion-
focus coping strategy, which intends to decrease the enthusiastic pain related to unpleasant
circumstances. In line with this, the researchers would like to know more about how the
Nursing students from Central Mindanao University CMU cope up with the loaded
requirements in the new mode of learning.
