This cross-sectional study assessed the cybersecurity skills of nursing students (n=201) in the Philippines. The Personal Cybersecurity Provision Scale was adopted for data gathering. After describing the data with the use of SPSS version 26, the significant difference between male and female cybersecurity skills was tested using a t-test for Independent samples. Results demonstrated that nursing students had moderate to high cybersecurity skills. However, while they had very high scores in avoiding the untrusted subdimension, only moderate scores were obtained in leaving no trace and protecting the payment information domain. The overall cybersecurity skills of male and female nursing students did not vary significantly.
