Experiences of virtual learning of clinical practice in nursing students during COVID-19

Abstract

Clinical practice is an indispensable space for future nursing professionals, particularly in the consolidation and acquisition of theoretical-practical skills necessary for nursing care. Continuous training through virtual environments in response to COVID-19 had a significant impact on learning by transforming real scenarios into simulated experiences. A qualitative, phenomenological and descriptive study was conducted with a non-probabilistic convenience sampling of 6 nursing students, with the aim of describing the experiences of virtual learning in clinical practice during COVID-19.
