    This study was conducted using the facts to determine the level of competency of clinical instructors of Ateneo de Davao University. Specifically, the study sought to determine if there is a significant difference on the competence of Clinical Instructors when grouped according to age, gender, length of service and years of experience. This study was anchored on Patricia Benner theory from novice to expert which introduced the concept that expert nurses develop skills and understanding of patient care over time through a sound educational base as well as a multitude of experiences. The null hypothesis of this research states that "There is no significant difference on the competence of Clinical Instructor". The independent variable is the Clinical Instructors, while the dependent variable is the level of Competency. The intervening variables are the age, gender, length of service and years' experience. Furthermore, researchers were able to get the respondents to evaluate how competent they are in terms of performing or practicing their tasks as a Clinical Instructor. In this study, the researchers used the descriptive method as a research design. This study was conducted inside the premises of the school campus of Ateneo de Davao University, in the College of Nursing at the fourth floor of the Finster Building while the respondents were consisted of 41 clinical instructors of Ateneo de Davao University who are employed during first semester of the school year 2010-2011. The researchers utilized a modified questionnaire in determine the level of competency of the respondents which is related to the theory of Patricia Benner. A 5 point Likert scale was used to rate the answer of the respondents from always, most often, sometimes, rare, and never. The researchers used the frequency distribution formula to answer for statement of the problem to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, number of years serving in the Ateneo de Davao University as a clinical instructor and the number of years' experience before becoming a Clinical Instructor. Chi Square was used to determine the significant difference of the level of competence of the clinical instructors in Ateneo de Davao University school year 2010-2011. Chi Square is a test statistic that measures the deviation of interest on the sampling distribution with behavior that the researchers conducted. Furthermore, the researchers also used T-test (independent sample) which assesses whether the means of two groups are statistically different from each other and used analysis of variance (ANOVA) to provide a statistical test of whether or not the means of several groups are all equal. Based on the data gathered, the researchers led to the conclusion that there was no significant difference on the level of competency of Ateneo de Davao Clinical Instructors when group according to age, gender and length of service and there was a significant difference on the level of competency when grouped according to years of experience.
