Coping with nursing education during a pandemic

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has presented both the lecturers and students with ‘the good and the bad’. Conventional means of training preregistration healthcare workers or delivering lectures seems not to be adequate in the face of limited periods for face to face classes. Different avenues have been developed by educational institutions to mitigate the absence of face to face lectures. In order to maintain high standards of education and production of healthcare workers capable of providing desired level of care to patients, it is necessary for different stakeholders to come together with the aim of developing sustainable alternative means of teaching at every level of the educational system.
