Abstract : The academe’s transition to virtual learning makes the current education setup difficult as students were used to the traditional face-to-face resulting in stress due to the adjustments broughtupon by the new modality of learning. This motivated the researchers to conduct a study that addresses students' motivational levels by introducing motivational testimonies through an online platform, Entertainment Talk, or E-talk that interviews successful alumni. This study aims to know the impact of conducting an E-talk with successful nurses who went through the same struggles asthe present nursing students. A 23-item questionnaire was floated to 82 students through pre-test and post-test in the College of Nursing. The result shows that there is a significant difference H(3) =163.438,p=.00), which in terms of motivation across year levels, 4 th -year leads in ranking. Itis also found that there is a significant relationship (r=.608) between the motivational level of nursing students before and after introducing motivational testimonies. The mean of the pretest (4.0438) and post-test (4.0974) shows the highest motivational level of the participants before and after introducing motivational testimonies. Based on the indicated findings, the motivational level of participants has affected their profile. Student nurses aged 22-24 years old and Female participants dominated in increased motivational level.
