Background
Since the spring of 2020, nursing education has adapted in most countries in Europe and internationally, adopting various strategies. Creativity has been required to keep nursing students in theoretical and clinical training, to enable them to graduate in the best conditions and be competent to join the nursing teams. This period was a source of stress for all the actors but also sometimes constituted vicarious experiences.
While this pandemic is still present, its impact should be measured at different levels:
- Educational innovations
- Nurse educator’s training
- The evolution of nursing education programs
- Leadership
