ABSTRACT: The present set up in the clinical practices on most hospitals in the Philippines demands for greater challenges and expectations for nurses to accomplish. Working in a very busy hospital like the Ospital ng Maynila is considered a very tedious task and being a public clinical nurse itself is already taxing that even the most experienced nurses were confronted with complicated assignment that somehow threaten their wellness. It is on this context that the researcher conducted the study to determine the nurses rating on the availability of the existing hospital's basic health promotion programs for nurses, their perceived administrative support to the existing hospital health promotion program, and their appraisal on the extent of workplace wellness promotion in the hospital units at the Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center. Results served as the basis of a proposed Workplace Wellness Program for Nurses following the Pro basic program Logic Model Approach. Using 0.05 level of significance, the following null hypotheses, there are no significant relationships between the respondent's rating of the availability of basic health promotion and their appraisal on the extent of workplace wellness promotion and there are no significant relationships between the respondent's perceived administrative support to the existing hospital health promotion program and their appraisal of the extent of workplace wellness promotion were tested. The study was participated by 131 out of 194 staff nurses from the OMMC. By employing the descreiptive-correlational method of research, data were collected by utilizing the prepared Workplace Wellness Questionnaire and through the interview conducted. Ranking, weighted mean, and Pearson coefficient were used to present and interpret the data. On the availability of the existing basic health promotion program, it was found out that generally, the respondents rated that the hospital has an available sustenance for the workplace wellness of the nurses. With regard to the administrative advocacy on it, the respondents perceived that they are generally supportive on activities with regard to it. However, the respondents evaluated that they rarely experienced an optimum level of wellness. The study also found out that there is a significant relationship between these variables. Statistical evidence supported that there is an existing relationship between the extent of workplace wellness and the availability of it and support of the administration. Moreover, since the respondents were rarely experienced high level of wellness, a nurses workplace wellness program was formulated.
