In University, applying decorum guidelines assures that students demonstrate professionalism, discipline, and respect, both in the classroom and during clinical practice. It has been observed that some students continue to disregard the decorum guidelines which is why this study would measure their level of awareness and level of compliance to see if there is a significant relationship between the two. This research relates to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, fostering values essential for sustainable development, such as professionalism, discipline, and respect. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the level of awareness and the level of compliance among Level II, Level III, and Level IV BS nursing students regarding the proper adherence to CON decorum guidelines.
