The study used descriptive comparative design. One hundred twenty-two (122) Level III nursing students were selected using random sampling method. A researcher’s self-constructed questionnaire was administered to the respondents and data were treated using relative frequency, weighted mean, and Chi-square test. It was concluded that the demographic variables of selected Level III nursing students affect the different preventive health behaviors that they perform. The study recommended conducting a deeper study to enhance and support what are presented in the questionnaire about preventive health behaviors on Influenza A (H1N1). The clinical instructors, on the other hand, should develop an educational program and teaching style to enhance students’ knowledge about preventive health behaviors on Influenza A (H1N1). Lastly, further studies should also be made to determine the preventive health behaviors among Level III nursing students when categorized with other variables such as marital status, self-efficacy, cognition, environment, and economic resources.
